Exposition episode, but very well done. The previous history being fake and the two events being espoused here change the narrative a lot. And we still don't know how much of it is reliable, but it's clear that the world in the previous generation was even worse than it was now and extreme methods were used to survive.

The whole episode worked really nicely on a mental level, creating a sense of uneasiness that always permeated the series, but suddenly in this episode, it's quickly accelerated. Shit is going to suck for Saki next episode.
