I was at AkiCon and the hotel didn't have free wifi, so this is gonna be long.
"The Cards Are Cut"
After Medusa's surrender, Lord Death and Spirit think that she's up to something (well no shit). Spirit tries interrogating her, but at first she does an innocence act (considering the child's body she's inhabiting), to the point where we get to hear Luci Christian's Hunny-sempai voice. It made me pretty happy, especially when it was directed toward Spirit (Vic Mignogna). Medusa is brought up to Lord Death's office, and she tries to strike a deal for certain information (like that they now have the real Brew and Arachne has the fake one), but she keeps getting mocked because of her cute, diminutive form. Actually, that whole scene was hilarious.
Then Arachne releases Asura's madness wavelength across the world by....cuddling with him? Like, the generator is attached to a bed, and she's in bed with him and comforting him like one would their significant other. I'm not making this up.
Anyway, because of all this happening, Lord Death accepts the deal of the giving information in exchange for her freedom, so no DWMA forces are allowed to harm because if this deal. And at the end, Dr. Stein goes missing.
This is also when the final ending theme appears. "Strength" by Ablingon Boys School. Now both opening and ending themes have a "End is nigh"/"Shit's hitting the fan" sort of feel.
"Twirl 'Round and 'Round"
Stein spends the entire episode hallucinating, and it's pretty fun to see these creepy visuals and maybe try to analyze what they could mean, like why they would imagery like that, or something. But in the end, he finds his way to Medusa.
This show has a habit of cutting to black, having a character say the last line, and then rolling credits. Habit or fetish, I really can't tell.
"Charge Baba Yaga's Castle"
Stein joins Medusa, the DWMA are trying to get to Arachne's castle, Crona and Marie are out looking for Medusa, Maka and Soul decide to go after Crona, leaving Black Star and Tsubaki to deal with Aranchophobia, Giriko and Justin are fighting again, and they found a location of a new magic tool.
So yeah. Lots of plot.
"The Last Magic Tool"
Kid, Liz, and Patty go a mysterious city called Sarcophagus to find the magic tool that will be used to power Brew. The town is known for its disappearing population, so Kid tells Liz and Patty to stay outside and wait for him. Kid finds the tool and is then attacked by two Clown robots. When things look grim, Liz and Patty come in and they finish off the clowns. Kid still isn't sure about trusting his father with the tool, since what they intend to do with it is not known.
I like this team a lot, so I like this episode a lot.
"Weakling Crona's Determination"
Marie and Crona make it to Medusa's hideout. With Stein going insane, Marie tries to snap him out of it and Crona tries to finally end things with Medusa. Medusa brings up that physically hurting her would also involve hurting Rachel, the girl she's possessing. When things look grim, Maka and Soul arrive like the Big Damn Heroes they are.
Apparently, Marie's last name is Mjolnir. Norse mythology enthusiasts and Marvel Comics fans would know that "Mjölnir" is the hammer of Thor. So Marie is a badass hammer.
"Anti-Magic Wavelength"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRONA'S MORTALLY WOUNDED, MEDUSA'S DEAD, AND THEY STILL HAVE THE DAMN KISHIN TO DEAL WITH!!!! Sure, Stein is alright now because of Marie, but STILL WHY DO THAT TO CRONA?!?!?!
Also, Black Star gets to the castle like a boss.
