Oof, I’m starting to see a pattern here with all the seasons in the second half. The first half of the episode was nice and peaceful, a way to settle down after a lot of excitement. It’s also a way for them to lower the expectations thinking nothing much of the second half, I really wanted to see her win the race! Alas, since it’s based on real life events, we can do so much but trust the animators and storytellers. Again, Cheval is just getting a beating at this point. 7.7/10
