A really tense episode. The backstory surrounding Akira, Yui, and the Yuki-onna village was particularly interesting. I also liked how the episode continued developing Kabane, setting up some major revelations regarding his family and the connection to the lifestones. The finale setup is strong, with multiple plot threads converging at once. My only complaint is the lack of Kon, I really hope we get to see her again before the end. Overall, a solid penultimate episode
