And a lot of it makes little sense to move the plot. This episode revealed absolutely nothing new, just presented random bad events to make us feel "bad" for Subaru, which we don't because it's been overdone now, and we STILL know the reset will fix all this.

The very concept of a reset cheapens the concept of tragedy. It's like watching The Edge of Tomorrow knowing the bullshit hollywood ending.

The funniest part was, instead of Subaru explaining that the Cult is coming after Emilia, he decides to risk his own life to explain his resurrection powers (which are by FAR harder to believe than some anonymous tip of an attack). Well, obviously, that didn't end well.

EDIT:
Things on any person's checklist to do after experiencing all these resets:
1) Learn of a way to mask the witch's aura to avoid getting hunted by anything and everything. (Optional)
2) Go straight to animal eared noble to get a dragon carriage on the first day. Who cares if she brags like a bitch. Just smirk because you already knew she would lol.
3) Hurry back to Emilia without passing through the sandstorm.
4) Get to the village and evacuate everyone. Lie about the reason if necessary.
5) Stop being a pussy about it and talk to Emilia properly. Explain what you can without touching on the witch's reset ability. According to the rules, he can talk about everything he's seen in the previous cycles, just not the power itself. In that case, the info he gained, such as puck becoming a giant mofo and calling Emilia his daughter is proof enough that he "knows" stuff mysteriously.

This is the simple way. But I'm sure the anime will take the more roundabout way of him getting help from the other nobles through negotiation, get some real power for himself, and pawn crazy clown guy in the last episode.
