I have to add to the sentiment about this episode being really good. The music really stands out to me and really adds to the animation and story that's happening. It's rare that I really feel the music, or am even aware that it's there; there are only a small handful of series that resonates with me on that level.
Yeah, and Lucy's comment about the one magic and her mom... since they are continuing the FT anime (albeit after some filler arc), we will get to hear a little more about that. But even that aside, I think it's becoming more and more obvious that Lucy's mom is involved somehow in the whole thing with the dragons and the one magic/source of magic. I'm looking forward to finding out just how all these hinted puzzle pieces fit together (although it feels like Mashima is really dragging his heels on the story).
And speaking of filler, considering the fight at the camp was filler, I have to echo the other earlier sentiment that FT really does filler well. I've seen the horror that was the Naruto filler (pre-timeskip), and so am really aware of how bad it can be. And of all the filler I've seen in any series, I find FT's to be one of the best. And so I don't feel any dread, thinking of the filler that will come after this arc.
