That was pretty awesome. To be honest, as cool as it was to see Yuji snapping necks and throwing fireballs a couple episodes back, I liked him in this episode more. He's obviously not capable of fighting toe-to-toe like Shana is, but he makes up for it by being clever and aware of his surroundings. Of course, it doesn't hurt that he's able to throw down if circumstances force him too.
I'm wondering where this is all going to go however - they've left a few major plot threads out there (Pheles and the thingy she gave Yoshida, what is the Bal Masque actually up to), and not many episodes left in which to resolve them. Assuming they even come remotely close to following the plot of the novels (which seems to be the case), I'm thinking Code Geass-style cliffhanger here. It'd be a shame if they tried to blitz it all in the remaining episodes.
An anime-original ending isn't out of the question either, but I'm hopeful they won't go too far down that road.
