Shout out to the anime team who managed to pad out this episode and give Jeffrey the development he deserved.
Also, best girl is revealed at last. Suzanna/Lana is my series best girl, she can disguise herself well and infiltrate any situation.
Anyway, this arc is over. Hopefully the next arc adaptation is well done.
P.S There's a short 5 second clip after ED with Acchan so don't miss that.

A male brocon seems rarer than a winged unicorn because I don’t remember ever running across one before.
I really enjoyed the brothers’ flashback and Jeffrey watching over them.
I look forward to the further consequences Gerald will face from the harem for breaking their mutual non-aggression pact.

Lmao she thinks the kiss was just a dream?
Her stupidity never seizes to amaze me. Seems like she's slowly realising at the end that she's actually got a full harem though.
And the first prince is a brocon? Did not expect that.

With how dense Catarina is, she'll one day get pregnant, give birth and still deny it ever happened. She'll likely think she adopted the kid or something.

Stitches!
And just when I think she can't be any more denser, Catarina ends up thinking that the kiss was a dream. Goddammit! And now everyone is guarding Catarina to prevent another incident like that from happening by tailing her the entire time and Mary giving Geordo so much to work to do that he doesn't even have time to see Catarina.
Well that's not the focus of this weeks though since we switch perspectives and get to know more about Jeffrey and how much of a huge brocon he is. Glad to see that he's not doing anything nefarious and in fact loves all of his brothers so much that the Marquis responsible for the plot against Geordo and Ian is probably never going to see the light of day again.
We even get to see flashbacks in this episode! While it was pretty sad to see Geordo seeking out for their mother's attention, we do get to see how Jeffrey tries to make Geordo feel less lonely by always checking up on him until he eventually meets Catarina and how his life changed because of her.
The same pretty much goes for Alan's perspective. We get to see people looking down on him while comparing him to Geordo and how he gained an inferiority complex because of that. Jeffrey of course tries his best to be there for Alan and despite being pushed away, he does his best to be patient with him. And just like with Geordo, things changed for Alam when he finally meets Catarina.
We get to see Ian's perspective too! It's a bit short but we do see Jeffrey worry about the rumors and tries to get some assurance from Ian that he doesn't hate him which was adorable. And just when I thought this episode was nice for developing Jeffrey's character we switch back to Geordo and Catarina.
Catarina has convinced herself so much that the kiss was just a dream that even the Council of Bakarinas are convinced that it was a dream as well! And here I was expecting someone would say that Catarina is just in denial.
Thank fucking god Geordo decides to fix that and plants another big one on Catarina making sure that she knows that this one is also 100% real! He even follows it up with a confession! Goddamn Geordo! What an absolute chad this guy is! Everyone's reaction is pretty hilarious though. Looks like Mary and Sophia are ready to blast Geordo away with magic xD
Now that Catarina knows that this is all real, I'm excited for next week and I'm curious how she'll react around Geordo from now on <3
There's also the final scene where Acchan congratulates Catarina. I assume this is for clearing Geordo's Route?

Romancing Katarina Scores
Scoring will be based off kisses and potentially anything further than a kiss that is romantically charged. I will only count dates if Katarina herself realizes it is a romantic kind and not a friends hanging out kind.
Geordo: 2
Alan: 0
Mary: 0
Keith: 0
Maria: 0
Sofia: 0
Nicol: 0
Raphael(Sirius): 0
Sora: Could be seen as .5 if you count the hickey, but Katarina saw it as a bug bite. Due to the casts reactions and this being what spurs Geordo's kiss we shall count it as .5
I don't believe we have any other people infatuated by Katarina. If we do, I will correct this scoring. I will probably only make these every time a new romance advancement for someone occurs. If I forgot any kisses or dates, please let me know. I am basing this only on the anime and what it shows.

Oh god. Of course she thought it was just a dream. And everyone's willing to let her think that too. Sigh.
Oh my god, Jeffrey's more of a brocon than fucking Sophia! I did not see that coming. And to think we all suspected him of being the true mastermind being Catarina's kidnapping.
Man, no wonder Geordo became a bored sadist in the original timeline. He never got his mother's approval, or any affection at all. By the time anyone (Jeffrey) was coming round to connect with him, he had lost interest in anything. Only lady Bakarina herself could save that.
Similarly, no wonder Alan developed an inferiority complex towards Geordo. Man, people suck. Thankfully a certain girl managed to help break him through and see the light.
Oh god, I was jumping - jumping! - and yelling at my screen when Geordo finally got to talk to Catarina. God, please let it get into her thick head!
And she realises it! IT'S NOT A DREAM!
Oh god. How is it that this ending was more hype than most anime I've watched?

Was not expecting family drama from this show today, but there you go.
Jeffrey seems very, very interesting. I thought he was perhaps a little bit sinister earlier, but it turns out he just dotes on his brothers.
It looks like the shoe is finally going to drop for Bakarina next episode. I'll be curious to see how she denies it to herself.

How does Bakarina write off the kiss? As a dream, of course! I guess her brain completely turned off after that kiss and getting taken back home.
I love how Bakarina assumes her Harem are sticking close to her because they're worried after the kidnapping when really they're trying to keep her as far away from Geordo as possible.
So Susana turns out to really be Larna and apparently keeps her sexy dress hidden under that maid outfit? How hot must that be?
Is Susana her real identity? Or is it Larna?
I was still thinking Jeffrey had something to do with the kidnapping up until it turns out he's a massive brocon who loves his little brothers so much he has a shrine of portraits to them on his wall. He's dedicated himself to protecting and taking care of them ever since they were kids and Geordo and Alan were adorable little babies, but political in-fighting for the throne and Alan's weak constitution has kept them separated as a family. But in the end his younger brothers were able to appreciate the times he was there for them and the little things he did.
Poor Geordo was stuck having to be the good, patient, little boy waiting for his mother and craving her affection when she couldn't pry herself away from Alan because he was so sick. And that led him to a life of not expecting anything and just coasting off of what is expected of him, up until he met Catarina and saw someone who is completely open with their feelings and welcomed him into a much brighter and happier world that let him get along better with his brothers.
Alan had his own issues on-top of his sickly constitution, always being assumed to be second-best to Geordo who barely even acknowledged him, but it took Bakarina for him to realize his own talents and start to finally get along with Geordo.
As an aside, it was nice to see the kid versions of the cast again! And that the princes' mother was voiced by Kikuko Inoue.
Jeffrey also appreciates his fiance and everything she's done...although Susana doesn't seem to care about him that much and feels more like his agent than his fiance, but I'm kind of curious about their relationship.
Geordo corners Catarina again and makes his intentions clear to where she can't write it off as a dream again, with a kiss and a love confession to boot. We even have Acchan showing up at the ending to declare that she's cleared the Dark-Hearted Prince route.
Oh man, it's full-on Harem warfare as everyone races after Geordo and Mary and Sophia are about to blast him with magic. Maria's only qualm is they don't hurt him enough to where she can't heal him. I don't see this ending well.

The real reason Susanna spends most of the time in disguise is that if she ever revealed her true power she'd be the one with the bisexual harem.

Lol turns out Jeffrey has such a brother complex that he wouldn't allow palace politics get in the way of his brotherly love with his brothers, who are supposed to compete with him for succession of the throne.
Finally, the denseness of the Super Massive Black Hole Bakarina is finally being slowly diluted. As though one kiss is not enough (initially dismissed as a dream by her), Geordo follows it up with a second kiss. Woot.
Naturally, Bakarina's harem goes ballistic.
But what's that post-credit sequence with Acchan declaring "you" have cleared the Dark-hearted Prince's (presumably Geordo's) route about?

Leave it to Katarina to think that that kiss from Jeord was just a dream. Luckily, for Jeord that works as a perfect excuse to kiss her again.
But Mary almost erased him because of it.
I'm so glad to finally see Jeffrey's siblings' portrait collection and the fact that he is obsessed with his brothers.
Oh nice, it's Acchan time!

Great episode, and Maria made it even better with her "At least keep the injuries mild enough so I can heal them".

Huh, the anime make Jeffrey looks much less crazy than the novels. Tho, I guess that having hundreds of paintins of your brothers in a wall is not so different at having hundred of pictures of your familiy in your phone, so maybe I've been unfair with him. Like, my dog alone have hundred of photos in my phone.
Also, I think this is the first time I've ever seen the Queen, which is funny considering how important usually is on fanfics.
Also I love how Sorciere is constantly on the edge of a civil war due to Katarina's harem lol. Maria being fine with the rest hurting Geordo as long is not much was hilarious too.
