The way I gasped when the episode ended, because they stopped at such a tense moment. It's a great hook for the next episode though. I really like that we get to see other characters in this episode, we get glimpse of Mullin and how he's faring in the Silvana airship, and also some bits of Tatiana character too, not to mention a familiar, but maybe unwelcomed faces. Seeing Al cheering for Claus and Lavie is too cute! But I do wonder what will happen, because both Claus's and Alex's plot aren't concluded yet.
