Episode Context

Positioned at episode 21 of 25, this lands squarely in the final act of Season 2, transitioning from the Hero Killer Stain aftermath into the Final Exams arc. The preceding episodes dealt with heavier narrative revelations, and this episode serves as the critical bridge, resetting the emotional register while laying the groundwork for the high-stakes practical exam matchups that will dominate the remaining episodes.
