I have to say, I'm really interested how Emilias character is going to be handled in the future.
Is it one of the rarer cases who will stay this miserable or is there a path for redemption. Now she has this not so voluntary opportunity to do so.

My question is: is Ludowell family so racist that they'll just gonna ignore Emilia from now on due to her hybrid body? I mean, IIRC Emilia's father was nice enough to welcome mom Izabella to his house from the dinner dialogue last episode.

She hasn't exactly been obvious until now. It's not all that obvious or clumsy to have a student steal an item and hide it inside their own body. It's just Anos is so perceptive he picked up on it immediately. I'd say she's capable of a fair degree of subtlety.
Either way, all I picked up from the conversation after going back to it was that Anos' mother visited the Ludwell household. That doesn't necessarily mean that she was welcomed with open arms. Again, my guess would be at best she was treated, and Emilia from now on will be treated, with arrogant kindness as a pitiful cur that they're "charitably" giving scraps to while patting themselves on the back for having such compassion in their hearts.

Emilia's punishment reminds me of that series with the shield hero ... don't remember much though (I dropped it after a while).
Anyways, so far so good, the only minor issue I may have is that the imbalance is so wide that at this point despite your sense of superiority you should knows it better. Still on the other hand this thickheadedness doesn't stop to amuse me That's also why Emilia has not been that subtle, she didn't think she needed to, in her life, so that's not something she could randomly pull off. The true gripe is two episodes w/o Sasha are a bit too much. At this point I'm expecting she will be back with the rumors of Lay's mother in her purse.

More to the point though, never underestimate the capacity of aristocrats to underestimate the commoners. I wouldn't be surprised if, even after all this, many (including Emilia at least until now) suspect that he's "cheating" somehow. Either that he's only exceptional in specific things (like that guy in ep 1 thought at first) or that he's gotten some kind of help. I'm pretty sure most of those Royals that know him go to bed each night desperately coming up with rationalizations to explain why a weak, worthless thief would be able to thoroughly outdo them in every way. |

Befriending Anos' mother, OTOH, shows some dedication to a mostly useless endeavor. What was she even going to do with the mother's trust? She resorted to brute force anyway in five seconds. |

And winning her mother's trust seems pretty close to the same level of subtlety. Just a few shallow platitudes to manipulate the inferior commoners. And of course, she did it largely because she thought they'd be easy to fool and lure into the trap; once they failed to fall for the obvious ploy she became annoyed and tried to force things along. A couple quick blatant lies don't really enhance her subtlety that much beyond what she's already shown. |

Spoiler for on Shield hero:
Speaking of the current show I'm expecting the impostor (forgot his name) that is trying to usurp Anos will be an aristocrat of course. That will add enough fuel to their aristocratic fire to reinvigorate their convictions. Hopefully he will be strong enough as it seems to put up a strong fight.
