Spoiler for episode 9:

Spoiler:

I rather think Kallen will see a (former?) maid from the Stadtfeld household - possibly an Eleven that got shunned by the domesticity - and it will cause her to reminisce a few dramas that took place at her home, as it seems that her Britannian identity caused a few problems back there and compelled her to favor her Japanese nationality instead.

I guess Naoto, her brother, was killed a while ago, possibly because he was part of the resistance and got caught or was gunned down during a Britannian razzia. Or perhaps he was one of the unfortunate victims of the Britannian invasion of Japan

Spoiler for ep 9:

Looks like that maid is a Refrain user, which gives Karen a personal involvement in the drugs bust I guess.

Overall the recap was a good refresher and re-establishes Lelouch's motives and plans and the ultimate goal of luring out the Emperor from his ivory tower.

I'm still not sure what is the significance of C.C's absence from the scene with young Lelouch and Suzaku just before the invasion. A secret message? A warning not to take everything at face value perhaps?
