Three main, separate things happened this episode, so I'll run through them. Firstly, we have our former party realising the situation they're in and completely panicking, pretty much tearing themselves apart trying to figure out where their curse came from. Of course they end up coming to the conclusion that it was Lent, but it was just so satisfying seeing them miserable. Secondly, we have our main plot of following Lent evolving himself through his newly acquired, advanced skill. He ranks up quite a bit this episode and, even though they explained how the skill works, it still feels a little silly because he's powerful as anything. Then again, this is the sort of show where we follow an OP MC so I can't actually be that mad. Finally, at the end of the episode we see a new character who's obviously going to join up with Lent further down the line; the parallels between her and Lent are very intentional, so I wonder what her situation is, having ended up the way she is currently.
