:>I couldn't have done a better job of totally screwing
Ranma over in a million years! ^_^  How will Akane
take this?  How will Ranma survive the combined
onslaught of Nodoka and Genma?  Will Ranko seize the
opportunity to take Ranma for herself?  Only time
can tell!

I am also wondering about the first two questions, but definitely
not the third.

:>But, well, if Kinuko is five weeks pregnant, wouldn't
her condition be obvious to everyone?

Perhaps she had a miscarriage or an abortion.  It would explain her "absence".
