Was disappointed in this episode. Was preparing myself to see Subaru in a battle of wits against all the previous leaders, and outsmarting them as he went through them and what not, and all we got was a shortcut with little impact other than moving the pieces along.

Loved the last scene of the episode though, also I'd imagine Subaru is going to use this opportunity to lead the White Whale towards where Emilia is, and by extension this big army... along the way maybe confronting the Witch Cult as well.
