This episode has to be hands down the best in the series thus far. This episode had no reason to be as good as it was but they turned an overlooked character into my favorite in the show.

The usage of time and messy scenes is often easy to mess up, but the writers did an excellent job foreshadowing this episode each episode. The full circle was satisfying and made an excellent way to flush out an episode. It showed many reveals and shocking twists during the episodes many times so it was not a boring watch with each scene adding more ambiguity.

The shots and scenes were beautifully down this episode and the sets remain to relatively good. However, the main focus on today's episode did such an excellent job conveying her character. There was no cliffhanger which I appreciate because it ended on such a good note. Overall, such a great episode that did not disappoint.

This episode has zero improvement as in Agatha's character, which should be taken as a GOOD thing. The events of this episode were focused on Agatha's character and despite all of this she had made no development. This is a good sign because the show is trying not to deviate from her character too much because she is an antagonist at the end of the day. The show made her more of a team player with friends but destroyed all thoughts of cooperation when she did what she did. This was a good move to indicate that she won't change after a few moments with the characters and this makes sense seeing how Agatha has been evil for centuries. Therefore, it was intriguing to see zero improvement in her character but still loved it.

There is also a shocking thing that occurs with Teen which is undoubtedly the biggest reveal of the season. The theories saw this coming but the reveal was a good execution. The Billie Elish song was a good joke that was a play on words given the context/situation.

I only have minor gripes about the story specifically about how I wish they could have explored the horror aspect more because they had the best opportunity to this episode. I should acknowledge how others view Teen after the end but it is not as bad as it could be because it opens the story to more movies and expands the franchise. However, I am getting ahead of myself and it depends on what they do with Teen which is when it would be accurate to judge.

Overall, an improvement from the previous episodes that does an excellent job exploring the trauma of Agatha along with the amazing acting from her actress. Of course, the ending is the best reveal to happen in this show and I hope the show does not mess up the opportunities it has now.

When regarding the hype surrounding this anime, I was at first skeptical. However, after watching the first episode, it builds the characters so well after 20 minutes. Their chemistry is just amazing to watch along with the visuals that are so fluid it's baffling. The show makes great use of its color palette which is phenomenally executed. Every interaction with the characters is either just straight-up comedy gold or emotional character-building. It is the random and unexpected dialogue we would not expect from regular Shounen that makes it so likable. With great confidence, I can, without a doubt, recommend this to anyone because this is an immediate 10/10.
