I knew about that from Persona 4 (don't laugh) but the real appearance of Sasami's mom still took me by surprise. It was pretty horrifying.

Poor Sasami. She was so happy to reunite with her mom, only to find out she cares more about duty than her daugher's happiness. I was hoping the Yagami sisters would help her, but my hopes were swiftly crushed. That was a one-sided and brutal beat-down. Kagami!! ;_; (I know she's fine, but damn...)

Kagami at the vet was the best scene of the episode. First time we saw her so happy.
