Already there's 5 pages of discussion before any English subs are out, meaning the story's that good that people are compelled to look for raws (or subs in other languages, primarily Chinese) to satiate their curiosity, huh? Absolutely.
First, on the adults: Yuri-chan, despite her still unfortunately being single, is a great teacher; Ya-chan, despite her being a very klutzy woman, is a great mother. Enough said. (Maybe Taiga's unseen mother is a good mother as well, but this episode does not go into much detail. )
Now, with the fallout from last episode, the character dynamics are now completely different.
Kitamura, it's safe to say, has been relegated to reliable sidekick (foolish comic relief is Haruta's job). To emphasize this, he's not even in the ED animation.
Ami still hasn't gotten over her brawl with Minorin.
Minorin is trying to work her socks off in order to dull the angst of having to face Ryuji, but it seems she's coming close to making a decision with her "confession" to Ami.
Taiga, upon hearing Ryuji's white lie, decides to go on as though nothing happened.
That leaves the ball solely on Ryuji's court. He can no longer feign ignorance. This being a transitional episode, Ryuji is still figuring out where his true feelings lie, there's still four weeks for us to speculate and figure out.
Since the final novel volume is out, I have something to say concerning the use and viewing of spoiler tags in episode-specific threads.
Here are my recommendations on how to minimize risk of "accidentally" getting spoiled by spoiler tags in these episode threads:
From now on until you've actually read the book and/or until the anime is completed, simply avoid ALL spoiler tags in episode threads just to be safe.
