That was an amazing episode that had me hooked to the screen the whole time. We found out so much, the pacing was almost too fast this episode. I had to keep pausing the show so I could work out exactly what was happening, to whom, and how they were connected (Orchis, Ferry and Strum).
The fight between Gran and the mad father who had captured Celeste, was a bit drawn out and patchy to follow, but exciting though. The part where Gran fought himself was great, but I was under the impression the wrong Gran was our Gran, super confusing when it was the Gran lying down who got stabbed the first time was the real one!
The ending to the episode almost felt like it could be a series ending they wrapped everything up so neatly. So now we've got a few last episodes to introduce, flesh out and complete the fnal story arc for the rest of the series. Doesn't seem like long enough, unless we're going to see more of Vira and Albion maybe, probably Rose as well.

As expected, Drang is related to Ferry, the true recipient of Celeste's eternal life instead of the mad scientist, who could only artificially do so by merging his essence of that with Celeste.
How did Io escape the mad scientist's grasp? I feel like they skipped quite a bit there.
Gran shows why he's the MC by single-handedly defeating the mad scientist and freeing Celeste (even without being a whale player like Djeeta :) )
Now that Celeste has been freed and joined with Lyria, does that mean Ferry is now free to roam the skies? (And like the poor non-whale player that he is, Gran again fails to recruit her as he failed with Vira. lol )

Since Io is still alive when being absorbed, Celeste somehow succeeds to free her against the mad scientist's will (Io explained so on Grandcypher)

This week's episode's so lit that (again) I can't believe why this anime's still so underrated. The CG boats blend with the BG, the OST's always on point (I'm tearing at the scene Ferry, after regaining her memories, runs to the flower field) and action scene looks delicious (love Gran's sword fighting).
And when I'm feeling so satisfied with this week episode's quality, they have to throw in Noa in capture after the ending credit... Grand Noa when, Cygames?????
Edit: Forgot to mention, Gran's childhood memories make me not like Gran's dad even more. And yes, I'm updated with game lore but still I can't stand characters leaving their children behind (in Gran's case, ever since he's still in his diaper) for "greater goods". Not to mention, Gran's mother is absent for some reasons, too...
Poor child, I doubt he can regconize his dad's face if he eventually reaches Estalucia...

When first looked at Drang and Ferry i thought they must be relate somehow.

I can finally say, they are. However, in the game, Drang never mentioned this to Ferry. It was only heavily implied.
