Puzzles me a bit why you would say so. The story developed slower than expected, but after watching it (with my poor Japanese), I see no reason to alter the plotted path. I wrote:

In other words, Key Board was right. In this episode, the "positive" aspect of the contract was built up, and that required an extension of time. If you want to point out that I should have stretched the timeline even more, you'd be right - but "dead wrong" is dead wrong.

Exactly what happened. Kyoko stepped on Sayaka's toes, provoked her massively and gave her a smackdown. And just as expected, Sayaka didn't cower or retreat, but fought back. Almost cost her her life, had Homura not intervened.

Well, as I said, the story moved slower than I expected due to the extended first half, but at the moment - after watching 5 raw - I see no reason why I should alter this outline. I still think that in ep6, she will begin her descent. I still think that Kamijo will dump her, and all the rest. Maybe this will change with a sub, but at the moment - not so.
