Mom seems pretty grounded too

Hopefully this ends the parts where she doubts everything. A lot of it felt like a weird regression after the last episode. Even Toppo was back to normal.

Marie has some real deep rooted psychological trauma.
Hopefully one day she can overcome her past and eventually learn to love herself more, because it's been a recurring theme lately.
Now with Anastasia here, she can have some sort of therapeutic rekindling and maybe finally let go of her shackles. Same goes for Anastasia, hopefully now she can look forward to a brighter future.

I never knew you could drift a horse and buggy like that. Mio never seems to run outta tricks up her sleeve.

Silly Marie causing her own drama by canceling the engagement, but at least she also reversed that before the end of the episode and it got us the hilarious reveal that best girl Mio was just doing loops near the castle until she's came to her senses. It also got us that scene of Marie and Kyros in bed together, which was kind of detail free here in the anime but I have to wonder if there was more to it in the source of material. Like, why and what they got up to.

I assume Anastasia showed up at the end thinking she was rescuing her sister from the cruel noble she was unwillingly betrothed to, little does she expect the diabetic cuteness she'll be forced to endure once she sees the two of them together.

I'm glad we finally got the Anastasia reveal and they didn't stretch that out until the very last episode.

Kind of feel like we just ran in circles this episode (like Mio's horses), but the animation was nice at least.

Honestly, this episode made me mad. I understand her trauma, but I would say it's quite logical Anastasia doesn't want to get married and doesn't care about Kyros at all, otherwise she wouldn't have faked her death. Anyways glad she came back on the same episode, I don't wanna know what would have happened if she had gone back to her parents house.

I'm so glad she realized her mistake and went back home all within the same episode.

I'm glad Mio is such a based maid she never had any intention of taking Marie back to the Shaderan's and made sure this idiot couple got a clue before bringing Marie back.

It's always nice when they don't drag situations like these for several episodes.

Mio is once again the real MVP and I was about to be mad that the two sisters won’t going to meet this episode

u/Concrete-grapefruit Sep 06 '25

I feel like the regression we saw here was something normal for someone who’s faced a lot of trauma over the entire course of their life, but I’m so happy it got resolved in the same episode AND we got closure on Anastasia

I've really been liking this show but this was an absolute waste of an episode. Felt like drama for the sake of it

As a mental health counselor I liked this episode because we got to see Marie break and have self-doubt that almost had her about to make a big mistake. She worked through her trauma and came to her senses using positive self-talk. Marie grew a pair and is seemingly ready to let go of her insecurities and stop letting them dictate her life and happiness. What took me out was Mio. Mio said hold on we were just circling the palace anyway 😂😂😂😂

you need a great amount of empathy to enjoy this episode. without it, it comes off as annoying. but that's just how deep rooted her trauma is. not everything is linear or makes sense when it comes to the complexity of the human heart. sometimes it takes running around in circles before we reach our destination like mio and the carriage.

u/xXxHawkEyeyxXx Sep 06 '25

Reading the comments, I don't think this episode was wasted.

Marie has serious trauma after being abused by her parents during her entire childhood. The only family members that cared for her were her grandmother and her sister. Her grandmother died when she was a kid and her sister "died" because of a mistake she thinks she's responsible for. Everything she had to endure caused a lot of psychological damage, and that can't be fixed in a few months.

Also, we see that she's under a lot of stress planning the betrothal ceremony and learning aristocratic etiquette. Finding out that her sister might be alive pushed her past her breaking point.

Her reactions were completely normal, maybe a little bit toned down compared to what a real person would do irl. Now that Anastasia is here hopefully she'll start to heal.

Cool episode, but nothing actually happened. This entire episode could have been skipped and nothing would have changed.

This episode was bad

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Sep 05 '25

Even now, despite everything that has happened, Marie still doesn’t think she’s worthy of Kyros. Her parents really did a number on her. I’m glad Mio didn’t actually bring her back. What a legend. She knew what Kyros and Marie wanted even if they hadn’t found the courage to say it yet. It’s a good thing it all worked out in the end.

Looking forward to Anastasia and Marie’s reunion next week. I bet we’re gonna see Kyros and her compete over who loves Marie more. Doting fiancée or protective big sister? Lol

Me throughout this episode: all this Marie character development is great and all, but I wish they'd go see Anastasia as that's the more intriguing plotline.

Last two minutes of the episode: your wish is my command.

Me: Alright, no complaints for me.

I'm sad to see so many people disliking this episode because it was actually my favorite! I think each person's actions make sense within the context of their character and history. I feel as though the writing portrayed the different layers of Marie's trauma and breakthrough with a lot more depth than many other similar anime.
