"The Red Hot Runaway Express"
ALL ABOARD!!!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Kid, Liz, and Patty go after a "magic tool" that is powering the titular runaway train. It seems there are three parties now; Lord Death's, Arachne's, and Medusa's. One of the Mizunes shows up, flying around and dropping bombs, while Kid and the Thompsons deal with one of Arachne's cronies, Fisher. Once they defeat Fisher, they get the magic tool, but Fisher hints that the wizard Eibon, who built these magic tools of evil and destruction, may have a connection to Lord Death. After the mission, Kid goes to the school library to look for a book with information on Eibon, but finds out that the last person who checked it out and never returned was probably Medusa.
This episode was a lot of fun. Honestly, these three are my favorite team, and Todd Haberkorn is absolutely fantastic as Kid. Also,we finally get to see Patty pissed the hell off at the heat of the desert. It's great. And this episode a bit more intrigue, which is fun.
"Drying Happiness"
Things seem to be going well for Crona while he's adjusting to life at DWMA. He has friends who would do anything for him and everything is just peachy. So then Medusa shows up again in order to have him and Ragnarok as her informant in Death City. Considering that Crona has no sense of agency because of his upbringing, he reluctantly agrees ("agrees" might be a stretch). So, Medusa has Crona sneak one of her snakes into Marie's drink so that it could work as a microphone, because Marie is living with Dr. Stein. Also, the magic snake apparently will enhance the madness in Stein whenever he's around Marie. Crona then goes back to his room and cries himself to sleep.
Interesting thing to note, this is the first episode with a new opening theme: "Papermoon" by Tommy Heavenly6. I like it. "Resonance" worked well with setting the mood of the show, "Papermoon" works as an indicator of "shit is about to go down".
As for my thoughts on Crona becoming Medusa's pawn again...
