Nah, I was smiling when they started up the background music, because I knew that Rolo would finally die. Still, I can't decide whether it was noble or naive of Rolo to believe that Lelouch hadn't meant all the things he said in his grief over Nunnally.

While none of it was actually false (though I do not remember the second Japanese general being Geassed, just the first who committed seppuku in the tower) Schneizel, Cornelia and the rat bastard Canon came up with one hell of a way to spin the whole thing against Zero. Several of the Black Knights that Zero might have geassed were some of the most mundane things. Viletta still doesn't seem to be making the connection that Zero didn't geass her into her relationship with Ogi, that was all her. That's part of the double-edged sword nature of geass, can't prove that you didn't tell them to do something.

At least Nina finally got a little of what's coming to her. Now she's just as bad as Zero and more importantly, she knows it.

I'm less concerned about Kallen, and more about who is going to be taking care of C.C. I was a little surprised they left her behind. I suppose Kallen is the only one equipped to do so, since she's the Black Knight who became the closest to the old version, and moreover the only one who knows that C.C. is no longer the person she once was.

Suzaku's laugh at the end was really creepy...

I was hoping that Anya would catch sight of Zero and realize he was definitely the same Lelouch, but she never did. Maybe she will when knowledge of who Zero was becomes public.

This series is reminding me more and more of King Lear, but with Lelouch somehow playing both Lear and Edgar, depending on how you view each plot twist.
