Even campbell couldn't be that mad for the lost after that display and he got a son that will give his best now in a good way.
Hilarious chapter too, yor vs fiona was so funny but the best thing is that everything was for nothing but I guess like handler said: it's better this way. |

It's still impressive that she was almost able to hold back one of Yor's ball strikes that normally drop trees. But Nightfall has also made her goal much harder, because now Yor is very much aware of her own desires. |

I wanted to note that the Tramway scene in the intro looks as if it comes from an Austrian or German town.
Then again, it might just be that all trams look that similar... (It's also the environment it drives through though) Sorry I'd provide a picture, but apparently Crunchy doesn't let you snipping-tool screencaps and just blackens the screen lol. I mean, I'd get it if it was video capping, but a screenshot? Seriously?!

Yor is in a daze because she's so worried about her prospects with Fiona in the picture! Just savagely defeating her in a tennis match isn't enough to get rid of her anxiety of getting replaced and thrown out as wife/mother of the Forger Family. Meanwhile Loid is terrified she'll turn her brother on him
 .Franky really is the best uncle! Even if he doesn't want to play babysitter. But it pays well  !Honestly, Loids' first mistake was bringing Yor somewhere with alcohol. Like, I get he wanted a romantic mood for this conversation, but I could already tell how this was going to go  .Yor has a lot she's worried about...not only her own position and security, but the fact that she's at a point where she cherishes the family she's found with Loid and Anya and can't 100% give her support to Fiona even if that's what she thinks Loid wants. Also, Ayaneru cameo with a smug Fiona line .Liquid courage is a powerful thing! Especially when Yor drowns her wine and Loid's bottle of scotch to give her the ability to finally be honest and say how she's basically jealous of Fiona and how close she seems with Loid. Drunk Yor is always a riot  !Loid is able to read the obvious cues that Yor is genuinely jealous and worried about Fiona and thinks it's time to turn on the Twilight charm with Operation Honey Trap...only he forgets what Yor is like when she's flustered and embarrassed while drunk and she kicks him right in the chin. And while he's able to stick the landing, not only does he misconstrue her embarrassment as an outright rejection but he basically passes out afterwards. He's lucky his head is still in place  .Dang it, what I wouldn't give to get a lap pillow and be serenaded by a lullaby from Saori Hayami...I mean, Yor! Even if she forgot some of the lyrics  !It was nice to see Loid actually open up to Yor and talk about his mother, who we see in flashbacks to happier times (even when they were dealing with war), and how much Loid respects Yor and values how great a mother she is. It was a surprisingly sweet scene! Too bad Yor was too drunk to remember anything the next morning, but it seems like they went over all the main points again afterwards  .Anya just straight up murdered Operation Strix's name  .Anya has given up on getting eight Stella's as much as Loid (and possibly the plot) have so all she has left is getting in with Damian. Becky mistakes it for love, but that seems to be the perfect excuse for a girls shopping trip  !Well, at least Becky sees Yor as a worthy rival, even if her personal attendant Martha is worried about how into adultery her mistress seems to be  . Anya fashion show! You gotta love how much Becky gets into it even when the actual fashion itself takes a turn for the...quite odd. But that's fashion for you! We even get a Becky fashion show as she tries to find the right outfit to appeal to Loid. Even outright dressing up as Yor! But both girls look great in anything  .The girls shopped till they dropped and poor Martha was forced to carry all the boxes, but deep down what's most important was the girls' friendship and the fact that they had fun with each other. Particularly for Becky because she never had a real friend before she met Anya, let alone with a "commoner," but now she's truly happy to have Anya in her life! Even Damian notices how sweet and beautiful their friendship is  !

Martha strong, I've seen Bodybuilders crushed by less. Really liked the flashbacks of bratty Becky and how much she changed compared with her past self after meeting our stupid Peanut. And it seems the plan to have Damian notices Anya was a success, not the way Becky imagined it but still, an adorable display of friendship love due their matching mascot keychains (a 100k yen, wtf?????????????????) is just that strong. <3
As is the power of money because holy crap, booking an entire store for the whole day? How rich you gotta be for that? And I bet that store made more money due that one Becky visit then they do in a whole week of normal business. xD

I liked both stories. They advanced the storyline forward (I hope) and we'll go beyond the plot point where Yor is unsure of her role in the family, yes? The Becky exposition was very much needed and appreciated. I was wondering what benefit she had hanging out with Anya (before she saw Loid). Oh and that head-pin when she dressed up as house-wife, Yor needs to buy that!

That was one of the best episode of the series in terms of being heartwarming. Still some solid jokes here and there, but this episode was about Yor getting to find out just how much Loid values her (mainly as a step-mother but that will surely change one day) and what Anya's frienship means to Becky. Also building up to Becky meeting Loid.

That was legitimately a great episode from start to finish. Both parts were strong in their own right. Loid and Yor growing closer (in a sense) and working through things was really sweet. And honestly all of Anya and Becky's shopping trip was really sweet. Both "pairs" in this episode got to show how much joy each person is getting out of those relationships.
Even with just a few flashbacks you can get a good feel for how things have been for Becky. And that lines up with what we saw in the early episodes. So nice that she's found a friend that she can bond well with. And it even accomplished the main goal of furthering Damian's interest in Anya just through a pure scene of Anya and Becky laughing and smiling. Not surprised that the show is getting a second season. Though the movie is a bit of a surprise. I don't know if this will get a wider theatrical release like other anime movies did this year, but that'd be nice. Either way I'm thrilled to have more of this series to look forward to next year as well.
