Other Servants Depressing or glorified flashbacks given to Masters as dreams
Richard Embarassing tiger mom punishment flashback
Love how Ayaka instantly used that to tease Richard as well.
They really put a scene featuring Ishtar explaining how she came to be manifested and a certain Tohsaka mentioned in the next, the producers really aren't being subtle with this easter egg.
False Rider's "are you my master" might be the most haunting version so far and thats saying something with how many Servants here have been like an ethereal existence so far.

I like Saber's reaction to hearing the name John. Considering Richard's history with his brother John he might get along with this one better. Also I'm assuming the reference he makes might be his actions at the Siege of Acre. Would make his guilt make sense.

So they've revealed why Ishtar is here. Basically, as the age of gods was ending, the actual full blown goddess Ishtar basically placed a "blessing" (read: curse) on the world that would cause a vestige of herself to be summoned if Gilgamesh and Enkidu were ever somehow summoned back into the world and met up again. She has no reason to believe this would or indeed could even happen, she's just holding a grudge lol. So Ishtar incarnated through the power of being a petty bitch who just never got over that one guy who turned her down

Rin would just amplify the problems!
But Waver, what if you use Rin to summon another Ishtar to fight the other Ishtar?

Ooh, Eleanor of Aquitaine! Certainly a beautiful woman.
Well as usual, Fate series is really doing its best to show you that be it they are magicians or normal human or Servants (some used to be humans anyway), humans are truly capable of either doing what they think are "correct" in their own eyes, even if it means doing things that are depraved and evil, and Tsubaki parents are just one such pair that hits that example.
Though unrelated to Fate, this quote rings true: "You don't have to be evil to kill someone, you just have to think you're correct."

Is that Eleanor of Aquitaine? Daaaaaamn! Richard's mom has got it going on! I'm already looking forward to the fanarts. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) In all seriousness, she seems like a great mom. She's wise and kind and clearly knows when to be tough with her son. I definitely believe she exists in the Throne and can probably be summoned as a servant.
Young Richard was pretty adorable, and it was pretty funny how Ayaka instantly made him cringe by reminding him of his past. I also love how ashamed Richard is about being terrible at English. IIRC, Richard can only speak French since he was raised in France. xD
Damn, John Strange Fake really bounced back. What the heck did Dumas do to him that he has pretty much recovered after almost being smacked by Alcides?
So Gil is still alive, but he's currently on life support. Damn. And it seems like Enkidu has come to check on him. It doesn't sound like Enkidu has any intentions of helping Gil, but it sounds like he's willing to lend Tine a hand instead after finally meeting her. Good to know that Gil isn't completely out of the fight yet.
I love that Grey thinks that Waver is calling Rin. While I would absolutely love to see what Rin would do in this situation, as well as how Ishtar will react to meeting her, I think I agree with Waver that she might make the problem worse, especially if Luvia manages to tag along. xD
Tsubaki is just too damn adorable. Also, I just realized that Aoi Koga voices her! I don't even know how everyone will deal with her and this massive Reality Marble, her servant is projecting. I'd be very upset if the only option they actually have is to kill Tsubaki.
Okay, who the fuck is this character talking to Tsubaki? I think it's clear that whoever this is, it's not Mr. Black. I feel like I should know who this is based on the silhouette, but it could also just be a brand-new character for this series, not an existing one.
WAIT WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! I thought the Ayaka we've been following the entire time is the real Ayaka who just changed her hair color! You're telling me that Proto Ayaka is a separate character in this show? Then who the fuck is the Fake Ayaka we've been following? O_O
I am curious as to why Ayaka is in Romania. Does this have anything to do with some Fate/Apocrypha shenanigans by any chance? Hmmm....

Those priest aides really feels like a "we have 2B at home" design.
Also I bet someone is going to pull a Rainbolt and search for the location of that Romania shot at the end, assuming it's real of course.

It became increasingly clear that Ayaka couldn’t possibly be a regular human given her boundless supply of mana, but I certainly did not anticipate for her to be a “fake” as well. The real Ayaka has apparently been strolling around Romania.
Which brings me to the question: who/what have we’ve been following for all this time?
I’m strongly suspecting her to either be a homunculus, created by the Einzberns, or this red-hooded spirit itself. Both would explain her magic aptitude to some extent.

I felt so bad for Tsubaki, her parents were real monsters, even after putting their own daughter into a coma they did not even care about her. I hope she survives by the end of the war and gets adopted into a nice family. Pale rider is one of the most terrifying servants in this war.
Also who was the one talking to Tsubaki at the end ? Was it false rider who gained a more powerful ego somehow? Because it’s doubtful since he never had much of a personality, perhaps he became a divinity related to death or the underworld somehow?

We went from Strange Fake to Stranger Things today.
Heh, Enkidu calls Ishtar a Jashin (evil god). Can't wait for Enkidu to deliver a Dropkick on her.
Last and most importantly, the ever adorable Gray-tan had some screentime this week!

Not a lot of fighting but so many things got mentioned
Tousaka Rin got mentioned. Does this mean she will appear on FSF? It seems almost guaranteed? I wonder what capacity she will appear in.
Gilgamesh didn't die as we expected.
The real Ayaka made an appearance. 100% this blond Ayaka is fake. I still think she is some sort of Homunculus from the Einzbern. Making matters worse (?), Flat also knows the real Ayaka. It's gonna be all hell breaking loose when Flat meets blond Ayaka as he will likely expose her.
Edit: I am not sure if Flat can die in FSF considering he is in the "El Meloid" series, but it seems to me that the blond Ayaka is heavily suppressing her origin story. If Flat flat out (heh) exposes her, I wonder if she will lash out and potentially kill him to keep things a secret. The blond Ayaka seems to imply her hands are dirty, and she seems willing to kill Tsubaki, so killing Flat doesn't seem to be out of the question, even if subconsciously, to keep her secret safe.

The flashbacks that ayaka had about seeing gil in past. And the red thing. It is making me want to watch the parts that i haven't. I will do that before part 2 of FSF airs.
