The episode starts on a tense note following the events of the previous episode. This is one of those rare instances where we get to see Neptune acting unlike her usual self. I imagine the reveal in this episode will be surprising for anime-only viewers, but for those who have played the game, it isn't much of a surprise. The episode is basically a retelling of the events from the game, but with so many changes that I would probably consider it an original rendition of the story.
