The teamwork in this episode was something really nice to see, honestly - a little bit of productive rivalry never hurt anyone. So, yeah, we finish(?) up what we started last episode and got to see our rivals both getting a small amount of character development, which is promising for their progression in the grand scheme of things. Something new was introduced near the end of the episode, so that's almost definitely going to be the focus for at least the next two episodes, which is exciting. I'm curious about that new character already; seems fun.
