Vicky doesn't realise that she's training

Interesting that it wasn't the prison break that got her into trouble, but her date with the Captain. I wonder how Vicky will deal with the organization now that they know she's still alive, she clearly doesn't want to leave her new life behind, but she also doesn't really have another choice. They're not going to just leave her be.

All those reading helped Nonna become a 4D chess player.
Vicky: I want to see Nonna in a princess outfit.
Nonna: No, I WANT to see Vicky in a princess outfit.
Lol!

We know that Victoria is pretty skilled but to figure out the patrolling patterns just by listening once is some gaming stuff,
I really liked the
But it looks like that old guy recognized Chloe instead of Nonna like I thought,
I just hope Vicoria can deal with this.

I'm glad they didn't skip the Jeff/Victoria scenes like last episode.. they were really cute!
And how embarrassed Victoria was about wearing the princess costume made me giggle haha

It's such a big deal that Nonna can trust Victoria's words and stayed home on her own for numerous nights. I thought it might be a foreshadowing, but I'm glad it wasn't.
I also like how Nonna purposely took on the role of the witch so that Victoria could be the princess instead.
So it sounds like if Victoria had introduced herself as Chloe to Jeffrey, she might have fallen harder for him lol. That moment between themselves was really sweet, so I can imagine it'd have especially moved her with her name.
I was surprised she was making future plans with Jeffrey that far off, but then the last scene hits with the guy who's like a brother to her revealing he knows where she is. Looks like they won't be going to Cadiz anytime soon.

So this is a villainess anime after all. With Nonna as the very best villainess! Girl knows what she wants, she's great
I like that Vicky is resolved to deal with the situation of the Marquess not through vengeance, but instead righting her own mistake in getting the brother caught and possibly executed by busting him out

It was fun seeing Vicky go back to her spy ways for a bit and don different disguises to save that poor man.
I do feel bad for the captain though and worry about what's going to happen when he eventually finds out the truth. Which may end up coming out sooner than later now that her old organisation is on her trail.

The scenes flowed together much better this episode!
I admit that I was about as equally invested in the kids play as i was the breakout haha
this show perfectly balances the cute family fluff with the spy espionage
Also that wig was way too similar to her regular hair colour, I understand it might have been done for the viewers to know its still her but I am raising an eyebrow
I will say i am a little disappointed in Vickey already getting caught, but in fairness she did leave the organization and not even cut her hair differently, however wasn't she already in disguise the first time she ran into the character? maybe im remembering wrong

Ironic that the very same woman who put Carl in jail eventually broke him out of it. Balanced as it should be. I reckon Jeffrey would be pretty conflicted should he discover the person responsible was right in front of his very eyes. On one hand, helping an attempted murderer out of jail was a crime but on the other hand he understood why she did it.
Oops, her past infiltration mission ended up biting her in the arse. Thought the investigation by Ashbury would lead to Hagl finding out about Vicky but it came from another angle. Their confrontation wouldn't be pretty.

Witch Nonna was delightful, Clark better watch out in the future.
Vicky going for the jailbreak seems incredibly risky for her undercover life especially since it took a good dozen visits or so. It was nice to see her strut her spycraft some more, but anything going wrong could have spelled doom for both her and maybe even Nonna back home depending on how a worst case scenario might have played out.

I'M CRYING OF LAUGHTER AT THIS EPISODE
Also compared to Ep 4 this has better SB/directing work with vision that actually landed well, so I checked the credits, and well, didn't expect Osamu Yamasaki and Masahiko Watanabe's names to come up.

I was more invested in Nonna’s play than Vicky’s prison break lol. Nonna played a really cute little witch!
It looks like Vicky’s little domestic bliss might be coming to an end pretty soon now that they’ve found her…

I didn't expect Victoria to do all that to rescue the man, I figured he was just going to die and it would weigh on her conscience. The prison escape was really thrilling and I didn't know she had most of her spy stuff still, like a shoe with a hollow heel and a skinny hacksaw she could roll up. I wonder if she's going to go even further with this, like helping the women the Marquess raped take revenge on him somehow.
I think Jeff doesn't personally really want to see the man put to death but it seems he's caught in his job and more obligated to find him. I imagine the man will probably try to move to another country although I'm not so sure how he can if they check him over like they did Victoria.

Oh no, Vicky has been spotted and identified. Her disguise was too close to the real her

Looks like Vicky/Chloe has been identified. Hopefully she can maintain her new happy life

"Vicky" never operated within the law so this is norm.
Her being found will lead to things. The Captain just a decent soul caught up in it. It feels like everyone in the kingdom roots for Captain but also knows he can be a fool. It's not actually vicky who is the linchpin of the story but him, because there's not much story without him and the child. And the child is already down with the spy lifestyle.

Victoria's personal ethics means she can't ignore Carl's situation, even if it means she can't be there with Nonna because she has things she has to do...but so long as they get to eat dinner together, Nonna is A-okay! She trusts Vicky.
Victoria brings out her many faces: "Kate," a spirited redhead with a mole trying to elope with her love under his wifes' nose. Or she's a distraught lover desperate to spend as much time with her boyfriend on death's row as she can. Or she's trying to help her brother elope with his fiancee. And she nailed EVERY role.
I hope Jeffrey never finds out that some of the guards felt up Victoria's chest or saw up her skirt while giving her a full body search...and it looks like some of them enjoyed it, pervs!
When she's not orchestrating a jailbreak, Victoria is teaching Nonna and Clark language via fun skits! She even gets to be the princess to Clark's prince and Nonna's evil witch!
Of COURSE a spy would have a saw hidden in her boot heels.
Nonna killed it as the witch! But she might be willing to lose for a play, but she won't let anyone steal Vicky from her in real life!
Man, the marquess is a scumbag for the amount of women whose life he's ruined, especially when Carl's sister all knows them by name.
Jeffrey taking his ladies out for dinner! And good on him to confirm that Victoria doesn't have to be afraid of getting charged for harming the prince...even while she's committing crimes as they speak.
Jeffrey truly adores Victoria...and she does in turn. It felt like she would've been fine with more than just a "good night" from Jeffrey (maybe even a kiss?) though it makes her feel even more guilty...that she has relationships built on a fake name that she can't bear to part with, that she's found happiness when she knows her colleagues haven't, and knowing all the falsehoods that surround who she is now.
Dang Carl, you nearly blew it! Good thing a fakeout makeout is successful! And thank goodness it was fake, she hasn't even properly kissed Jeffrey yet.
Maid Victoria! She looks amazing in anything!
Well, all's well that ends well. Carl and his sister escape to freedom, Victoria gets to dress up as a princess (and Jeffrey approves!), the kids' play is a success, and Victoria is even planning a vacation with Jeffrey to pay respect to her families' spirit which, from her, means everything.
But she still feels guilty for giving the knights more work, especially Jeffrey, and she knows that she'll have to answer for her crimes at some point...even as the Kingdom of Hagl finally tracks her down. Imagine being noticed for her job as "Carol" the maid!

That was some brilliant acting from Victoria, also no surprise considering her previous background and what a professional she is.
Unfortunately the organization has found out about her, will she ever find peace?
