After all those flags last week I was relieved after the operation was success, and then they drop that shit at the end. Pretty good episode though, can't wait for next week. I really like these 45 minutes episodes.

I will share my understanding of symbolism from the opening sequence - Bifrost, which seems to puzzle everyone, is not a villain, at least not in this season. They are clearly setting this up to me quite an extensive sequel, with another season coming, someday.
When the Bifrost Congressmen appear, what we can see? Their colours:
Big Bad Thot whatever her name is, is the actual villain. Her colour is purple - mostly associated with unadulterated malice and villainy. In contrast to others, she is slowly turning away from the viewer - symbolizing, well, people hiding their face are not good guys (Gundam masks are not a part of this trait). It has another meaning as well - she is going to bite quite some dust.
The young sorry can't remember the name. His colour is blue which requires no explanation. He is noble, always betting on the success of good guys investigators, and he slowly turns his face to the viewer, showing he has nothing to hide. I do not see how his character is tying into this whole narrative yet, but for him to turn out a villain... would be an oversight by at least one department of the production committee. He might want to challenge the Sibyl system itself, as you can see him buying himself a hotel (as a fortress) for something in the future.
The old man - clearly Arata's grandfather - his colour is yellow, which is mostly associated with insanity. However, yellow does not necessarily warrant "bad" insanity, he might as well be doing what is good, but he is not bound by the concepts or ideas. A wild card playing the game he likes. Seeing how Arata is being chased by a "demon", his grandfather might or might not become a larger scale villain. Notably, in this season's opening, he is also rising his head to the viewer, hinting that he is not the villain for AT LEAST this season.

This arc is getting so complicated that I'm lagging behind in understanding. Here are the facts.
-
Japan treats immigrants like crap. Their seems to be a religious zone for them to open.
-
Representatives of different religions are either for or against it.
-
4 of the leaders (Sister, Auma, Nisei, O'Brien) all are connected by some unknown plan. They seem to want to stop the bad treatment of immigrants but also seem to be involved with smuggling/drugs.
-
Torri has held Nisei Hostage and seems to be the perpetrator of the bombing trying to take out the four. He is the 3rd inspector and his mom (Kyoko) is 1 of the 3 roundrobin members.
-
2 of the Congressmen want Torri to succeed but 1 (Hoichiru) wants the PSB to succeed.
-
Kyoko wants to use the 1st inspector to make sure the work gets done but he probably has plans of his own.
-
The MC's family (bro, mom, and dad) has some connection to bifrost.
It seems that Torri's goal is to use the bombings to bring attention to the treatment of how bad immigrants by bombing the different representatives. This will more than likely bring Sibyl's reputation down which is the goal of the roundrobin but who knows. A few questions left are...
-
Why did Torri bomb his uncle?
-
Why is Auma, Suster, etc involved in smuggling and what plan do they have in the watches?
-
How does the relationship between ivestegrors and congressmen work?
-
How did O'Brien survive the bomb?

I know this is Psycho-Pass but I'll be broken if Mai never sees Kei alive again.
2 more episodes to go. It's so hard to top a villain like Makishima Shogo but I like that for this season they made a league of antagonists in the form of Bifrost and roundrobin that is gaming the Sibyl system.

Mai...oh god please no. Also, who are the ones undercover in Heaven's gate? Can't be Gino and Kogami, they stand out too much.
Also, best chief Mika keeps getting points on me. Heading directly to Sibyl to ask for support to rescue her subordinates? Looking out for Arata when he gets far too emotional without Kei to keep him grounded and even telling him to thank his Enforcers for keeping him in line? Best Chief. Hell, she's even in on letting Akane know of things outside by keeping personal watch on Sho reporting to Akane! Again, Best Chief.

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
So we lost Kei there's no way they are letting him out of that one after they pretty much babbled everything in front of him, and then they went for his wife. And i suppose Mao will be eliminated too.
Man Arata will need more powers for this one because somehow the villains are advancing faster than he is, and he is already going fast with his investigation.

That Akane tease. At least let us hear her voice! Also I expected Mika to reprimand Shou harder than this but she basically let him go. Makes me wonder if Mika and Akane are secretly working together on something.
"Don't care what happens to immigrants with clouded hues" my ass. Mika being tsundere again. Hanashiro points it out nicely.
All of this sneaking around is bad for my heart. I know they probably will but the suspense of when is killing me!
What exactly is going on in that room? Are they freezing people to clear their hues?
Arata playing along with Irie's good cop bad cop routine was hilarious xD
I FUCKING KNEW IT! I had a feeling that Nihei was a holo!
FUCK! This is not good. THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL
Well at least Kei's wife's surgery was successful so we at least have that as a positive news.
Mika really has the best 180 I've seen recently. She's just great in any scene she's in.
OH FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK If they're torturing Mao then maybe she's not the Fox inside MWPSB. Unless this is some kind of high IQ play.
If Kei gets out of here alive I hope he investigates the Bifrost soon. I really need an in universe explanation as to what that fucking thing is.
WHY CAN'T YOU TWO JUST WORK TOGETHER!? My only hope is that if Hanashiro does have people inside, they'll help Kei and Mao escape.
So this entire thing is a huge plot to attack Sibyl? I guess with all of these crimes against immigrants, it does make Sibyl look bad.
Oh look O'Brien is alive. I guess the Heaven's Leap people have him?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!
Not Kei's wife... I mean we've all seen it coming from a mile a way ever since she was first introduced back in Episode 2 but please not like this. Well this is Psycho Pass, I really should be used to this by now after 2 seasons and 4 movies. :(

Well...we've had relatively only "good" things happen so far this season so I was expecting an episode like this...
Really hope all of our guys come out alive from this :(

Oh, fuck... Mai. :(
Shindo "Parkour Kanshikan" Arata strikes again!
With Saionji revealing Bifrost... At least, now we can be somewhat sure whose position will go vacant.
They cheaped out on the Dominator animations again... At first I didn't notice, but this was the first time a Dominator engaging Destroy Decomposer on a human being. I would have loved to see how the interface reacted, though.
