Spoiler:

I like the way the plot develops here:

The effective introduction of Cornelia as a battle hardened ice maiden, skilled KF pilot (love the demonic looking design) and all round mean bitch. Lelouch is going to have to up his game to defeat her. I predict she'll be a ruthless opponant and brings further hurt to Area 11.

I was waiting for Viletta to remember the student from before her memory loss. So is this why Suzaku ends up in the Ashford Academy next week because Viletta recalls the uniform? But surely Suzaku knows Lelouch was there at the scene, so this'll be interesting to see if he keeps that secret.

It was quite interesting to see Lelouch losing his cool with CC and deceiving Nanaly. Small point but it did not go unnoticed.

C.C is the highlight of the episode for me. In turns flightly, sexy and mysterious, remaining just as ellusive and keeping all her secrets intact. I loved her larking around behind Karen, in fact that whole scene was hilarious. I could listen to Yukana's sultry voice all day. In one or two shots C.C gives Lelouch some sly sinister looks which further suggests she's got many more secrets.

So the Karen/Lelouch/Shirley love triangle seems to be developing nicely. Although I feel sorry for both Karen and Shirley (and that poor schoolgirl etching crosses) as they're just innocent victims of Lelouch's selfish game. I prefer hotheaded tomboy Karen to soppy schoolgirl Karen. The sooner she snaps out of her Lelouch crush or flies fearing exposure or discovers Lelouch's Zero or something to get her out of the Academy the better.

As for Yuffie-hime, lol, as Garten mentioned it's a familiar premise to have a royal masquerading as a commoner, but it was pretty well done if a little convoluted. I'm not entirely sure I like Omi Minami's voice, but it did seem to be less squeeky at the end. I wonder how much influence, if any, she can exert over Cornelia. Their relationship will be interesting to observe as Cornelia hunts down Zero.

I think I like Suzaku more after this ep. The twist at the end with him defending Jeremiah was excellently staged. The whole last ten minutes of the show was brilliantly paced. We got a good look at those twin swords, although the Lancelot did take some damage from that freaking machine gun bomb. Jeez, that's one nasty anti-personnel weapon.

Special mention goes to the music in this ep. Especially the track at the end during the battle and the track playing during C.C's scenes with Lelouch. Making the OST a must buy for me.

Next ep looks like fun. Hope we get to see Cornelia in action and that KF of hers.
