Impressions:

Sigh…I was hoping for some elaboration on the last episode’s revelation, but we only get a little extra information at the end of the episode, when Wilhelmina is informed of the existence of Pheles. I’m going to assume that Pheles’s past lover is probably Silver, who now seems to reside in Yuuji, either as or related to the Reiji Maigo. I wonder if this enemy presence will rival that of Hecate/Konoe, or if they’re actually interchangeable (they’re on the same side). In my opinion, Hecate will probably remain as the dominant evil, though Pheles may prove to be an interesting sideshow before the big stuff starts to happen (and would create some in-ally tension).

Anyway though, this episode turns out to be more of a character development off-shot if anything, where Yoshida and Shana display their seemingly stronger feelings for Yuuji. They also appear to form a resolution to start turning aggressive now, with the reaching out business, which I hope they WILL ACTUALLY IMPLEMENT. Seriously, things have been moving far too slowly with this situation, and my old ‘Yoshida-must-die’ feelings are starting to return. Ike needs to hurry up and sweep Yoshida off her feet, while Konoe is forced to betray Yuuji or something and dies in her defiance. THEN, as I’ve said before, Shana will have free reign over Yuuji. =)
