Nice to see that this show can remain idealistic even when dealing with stuff that's seems out of place with this story. This episode goes further with the series' world building, giving us more information on its current political and social backdrop, with a few curious mysteries thrown in for good measure. New characters are introduced who might play some significant role in future story arcs, but they're pretty well entrenched at where they are presently. Something's cooking up in the sidelines though, how would it play out is something to look forward to.
