This episode, we follow and start a new storyline with someone named Souma, who's having family troubles (so to speak) and Mao and Co decide to help him out, but it might have connections to the wider mysteries of the series. Overall, I wasn't wowed by this episode but it was rather pleasant to watch, even though it felt like most of it was just set-up for what's going to happen the next episode. Honestly, I'm not that invested in this storyline since it feels a little out of left field, but I hope that it'll show its potential next episode.
