And that sister has a ridiculously hot mother! But never mind that...apparently Asuna's life is at the hands of a guy she hates, so she's practically hostage =/ Kirito's recovery seems to be gong well, but based on the OP and next episode's title, he'll be back in VR (or maybe just an MMO?) soon enough.
Suguha's awesome, she beat a LV9X dual wielder in one round!
