Instead of Rare Igura, this episode should be called Drag. Because it really was one, and some scenes just came off as completely awkward. Also, still no sign of Kagura. I'm going to assume he's been tied to the ceiling or something.
The episode focused largely on Mikono at the start, daddy issues (Kotomine what are you doing here? Why are you such an asshole), to some family bonding between her and Cayenne. The latter I'd have called great if not for the fact that the last time they spoke was 15 episodes ago.
Still Cayenne does prove to be a good brother in the little time he's given to actually be a brother. She and Amata have a talk but, as per the DRAG, she runs off before anything meaningful can be said.
But, we do learn that Amata never knew his dad! Dad finally got mentioned.
I'd say it almost guaranteed at this point that Amata is a half/half of Vega and Altair.
Now Zessica. The DRAG here was mind wrenching. I'd have been fine if they just left her with one-sided, happy from the last episode but they didn't do that. Instead we had her and Amata never speak for some conclusiveness, her moping about, showing great signs of insecurity, wondering if she was heading for a dead-end, and then Heartbreak Gattai! They just kicked her down the stairs this episode and I honestly don't understand why at this point. She's just going to collapse inward even more next episode, her emotions and feelings are a total mess. If she'd been kidnapped then the whole drama could have subsided or if she and Amata just spoke and put each other down, but alas, we continue into next episode with more drama.
