EPISODE REVIEWS
This episode functions as a literal cleansing of the palate, moving from the geopolitical stuff, backstabbing and back right into the core story of the entire series, cute girl doing cute things. It balances the show's theme, kinda space opera conflict, and telling the viewer that politician do sometimes stupid while sets up a heartwarming trajectory for the remaining slice of life elements of this season.
I swear, I thought we were about to see a ghost, hahahaha! My imagination ran wild with all sorts of possibilities during that scene. There were no fights or clashes at all — instead, the focus shifted fully to their daily life at school, especially their club activities. It’s a relief to see them settling back into their old routine and living peacefully again. There were even moments that made me laugh, yet beneath it all, an uneasy feeling keeps growing in my chest. I noticed subtle, unsettling signs — hints that something dark or dangerous may be drawing near. The calm feels almost too quiet, like the stillness right before a storm. And just when that sense of dread started building, the scene cut off abruptly… leaving me hanging, my curiosity and worry at their peak! That is all I can say.
We finally get a break from all the fighting these past episodes. The threat of losing your club room is such a classic trope, but I love it. This was honestly a needed change of pace even though it's not as intense. The new kid is alright.
