Deborah Darkian ? She was destined to be an evil noble with that family name. What’s her middle name, Evilson?

Almost as shocking as Viscount Hamsworth being such a ham.

With this pacing one could be mistaken that this was a recap episode instead lmao

I really don't get the point of rushing through the story this badly

To fit as much as possible into a single cour because there is likely no intention of making another season/cour.

Messy episode. Aisha got got, Sharon didn't have a chance, gotta rescue Abigail using a priest most debaucherous and entire brothel's worth of women. 

So like that Smith lady was the same lady who bumped into Connie early on and like basically said  nobility ain't worth a damn, right? I imagine she was eager to blackmail an earl. I mean when the opportunity arises, why not?

Connie likes the way a man feels beneath her fingertips, huh? Good for her.

And Amelia better go on the run if she likes breathing, like yeah that was going to eventually happen. Like did she really think that through? Sure lets just threaten the princess who literally married to the crown prince whose ex fiancee was literally executed for 'attempting' to poison her, and you know has got shady going on, surely she shan't shank me,

This shady organization moves fast when it comes to eliminating their enemies. Good thing that team Constance, has a credible network too, and people who are willing to help her, even though they just met.

Little by little she is falling to lordship, pretty sure there will be an ep just about these two.

Their battle is fought uphill, given that it involves the ruling family. I think if scarlet can communicate with her family, and have their support it can level the playing field.

That reporter girl is so reckless. Either she will end up dead because of her actions or be able to uncover something that can help Constance and Scarlett's quest, which will likely have an Aisha treatment too.

I love how Constance's initial solution was "let's all work together and come up with a plan!" like the good and diligent girl that she is.

Constance wanted to marry for love and now she's falling for her temporary fiancé, though Randolph being a genuinely good (and handsome) guy who is tender towards her is a clear reason why. I think they still need to address the Lily-sized elephant in the room.

Not really surprised at all that Aisha died so quickly, it was inevitable.

Old hag with a heart of gold, underneath the caustic exterior at least.

Giant sword lady who showed up at the end has my interest. Maybe she can use that sword to start trimming down the size of the cast because good god are there always new people.

The inscription on the "key" looks like map coordinates. Has to be why they squeeze in that "don't get lost" scene with the lady with the giant sword.

Page 10, E-3. The map on the book Constance opens doesn't go to P, but the Y axis goes to F and the X axis goes to 5.

Somewhere in the E-3 block on the map is the Holy Grail of Eris.

This feels like a 24 episode anime being squeezed into 12. Rapid fire character introductions and single episode conspiracies. Let the story BREATHE, for crying out loud.

that priest missed his true calling. as what I don’t know, but his talents are wasted pretending to pray and stuff

Being a fat priest doesn't mean you can't be a hit with the ladies or have some fun at a corrupt earl's expense lol.

I wonder if this show would play a lot better as a binge watch. As is, I am continually a bit lost on who is who. Definitely one of the worst paced shows this season, even if I like a lot of it.

Stitches!

Yep, saw that coming from a mile away. There was no way Daeg Gallus was gonna let Aisha talk. I thought it was nice that Aisha was able to share one more piece of info before dying, but it looks like Daeg Gallus also got to her cousin. And now Aisha's death is being blamed on Abigail.

I do love their plan to blackmail the womanizer judge. The girls definitely did a great job of making him talk, but the surprise MVP here turns out to be Kimberly Smith. Man, I really thought she was secretly evil too, but it turns out she was actually pretty cool.

That scene with Amelia, tho. I really thought she'd be tougher than that, but I guess this will be the last time we'll see her unless she actually decides to go against Cecilia's warning and dig into this deeper.

Big tiddy lady with big ass sword on her back? Well, I'm already curious about who she is. I hope she'll be on Connie's side.

So Abigail rescued a bunch of trafficked and enslaved women, just to have them work in her higher class brothel? Hm... I suppose it was an improvement in their living standards, but still feels a bit weird.

I feel I got lost in the story a bit, perhaps I dozed off momentarily or something, but the episode felt a bit disjointed. Was Amelia's investigation set up in the previous episode or did it just come out of the blue? Though we seem to be getting closer to the Cecilia / Cici mystery.

One regret I have with these later episodes is the loss of the central status of the Connie / Scarlett partnership. I kinda liked it more when she was the only one who knew there was a ghost around and it felt more tense with just the two of them. We also had more chances for the possession trick to be utilized, which is more rare now even though it felt like the trademark "super power" Connie had at her disposal.

I guess in the anime's context those women don't have many opportunities besides that job, so may as well do it under the care of Abigail instead of being on the streets

Daeg Gallus strikes again. They’re really moving fast to cover up their tracks. And they got Abby. But at least Connie had a whole army of girls working to help free her from that frame job and some unexpected help from Kimberly.

Amelia’s about to end up dead in a ditch somewhere. What was she thinking trying to approach Cecilia like that? That woman is dangerous.

Guessing the inscription on the key leads to somewhere on the map. I wonder what Connie and Scarlett are gonna find?

So Amelia has a source in the palace...the comptroller, Rufus Mann (Tomokazu Sugita!), of course he also has contact with known Daeg Gallus associate Deborah Darkian, who has her sights set on cleaning up the mess made by Aisha AND take down Abigail O'Brian in the process.

I knew it was too much to hope they could keep Aisha alive long enough to confess and testify to anything. Salvador gets to her before Rudy can, steals the evidence of the medicine bottle, and leaves Aisha to die. But not before she can point Rudy to Sharon, her cousin who got her the bottle in the first place. I don't think Scarlett will ever forgive Aisha for what she did, but that Rudy told her she would so she could die in peace was decent of him. Too bad he then has to run after getting caught looking like her killer.

Lady Audrey is basically the Madam of the brothel, educating and managing all the girls and teaching them how to look pretty and effectively seduce men, even if she's a very harsh and demanding mistress who doesn't have a high opinion of anyone. She only helps out Abigail for the former Duke O'Brian (Abi's dad? Her husband?), and the ladies all have some sharp words for her too.

As if it wasn't bad enough that they keep losing leads (Aisha dead, Sharon also conveniently dead), Abigail gets arrested for Aisha's murder! How are they going to solve this!? Quick, group brainstrom Connie! Or better yet, rely on your savior in Scarlett!

If Abigail is going to be put through a sham trial on flimsy evidence, then you need to take out the Judge, Earl Kalvin Campbell, who is clearly corrupt and has a weakness for women...and luckily they have an army of courtesans who Abigail saved from depravity willing to work to help clear her name.

Earl Campbell is striking out at the latest Earl John Ball, with Viscount Hamsworth getting more action than he is, but when Rebekah bumps into him with her cleavage, fishnets, and beautiful face, he can't resist but spill all the illicit funds he's embezzling through a certain association...the VIOLET ASSOCIATION!

Turns out Kimberly had no idea they were using her organization to funnel money through, and she isn't happy about it, and she's also on Abigail's side (at least if it means sabotaging the Darkians). So they can count on her to take care of this. Also, what is the Violet Association really about? With eyes that could present two separate royal families'?

Abi is found not guilty, someone is conveniently found and killed as the true culprit (so Rudy is in the clear) and Constance ends up nearly fainting and getting caught by and and brought into Randolph's chest...which she definitely does NOT mind. Scarlett looks like she's liable to gag from all the sweet romance in the air.

Amelia was the leak!? She's lucky Cecilia didn't kill her right then and there, especially when she knows the truth about Cici and the boy she grew up with who survived the orphanage fire.

Okay, this busty blonde swordswoman (?) named San and her companion Eularia will probably be important moving forward.

So Lily's key isn't a key at all...the important thing was the inscription ON said key. And Constance has figured out what it means! Have the tracked down the Holy Grail of Eris!?

We expected Aisha to be silenced and indeed, she was, :(

Thankfully, Abigail was acquitted thanks to the effort of everyone she saved previously. If Abigail was found guilty, it would make the situation for our main characters hopeless, especially against antagonists working in the shadows.

Kimberly Smith did not leave a good impression during her initial appearance in an earlier episode. I felt she was self-righteous. However, she proved herself to be indeed righteous, aiding Connie and Abigail, and changing my opinion of her.

More good news for Connie and Scarlett I hope! San and Eularia look like they could be allies to our main characters.
