With the semester over and summer just around the corner, Illya and her friends are getting ready for their beach trip. After the big events of the previous episode, it is pretty much back to the usual Illya shenanigans, with the episode focusing more on the lighter side of things. That said, the episode still makes progress on the main story. Rin and Luvia are shown preparing for their mission to retrieve the Eighth Card, giving the episode a few scenes that keep the larger plot moving forward. There is also a subtle hint regarding Miyu’s true identity. However, the scene is intentionally vague, so anime-only viewers will probably have little idea of what it is actually foreshadowing at this point. P.S. I'm having second thoughts about whether to recommend skipping the OP. It really fits the season, but there are also a few spoiler-heavy shots that make me hesitate.
