and what was up with that general dreaming about the girl?

I'm actually gonna be a bit surprised if the brothers come to an understanding and start helping each other. I didn't really expect Van to ever trust his brother again. But I like this development. Folken is cool.

And finally! Looks like Dilandau will make his comeback next episode. I've missed that crazy bastard. XD

It sure took awhile for Folken to realise that having everyone dead =/= peace

For a moment there I thought it was Dilandau on the lawn, that girl.

(rewatching again)

Folken turning against Dornkirk is implied to be the result of the recent push in advancements (experiments) resulting from the conquest of Freid. The power of Atlantis was there. One of the experiments was the intensified luck soldiers. I would assume this recent leap allowed Folken to see Dornkirk's true nature, that would not have occurred in the past.

Short version:
Folken turned on Dornkirk because he didn't care about his cat girls.

Naww the dragons are so chubby! I agree with little Van. Killing dragons is not nice.

Yeah, pretty much. Even though his own life was spared by the dragon when he stopped fighting it, he didn't realize that destroying his entire city was probably not a good idea to try and achieve world peace.

Okay that's one plot hole filled! Brothers have resolved their past! Although I'm still disappointed that it took Folken this long to realize how awful he is.
Dilandau is coming back? I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss him... a lot.

Dornkirk, interested in all that is "Atlantis", convinced Folken to join him.
After seeing Dornkirk's methods first hand with Naria and Eriya, he turns. Folken may not have really known what Dornkirk was doing behind the scenes.

So Folken left Isaac Newton side but he still believes in making a destiny with no fighting whatsoever.
Also that little girl was Dulan-chan wasn't she? Theory that Dulan-crazybitch is Allen's sister confirmed.

Yeah quite obvious who Dilandau really is now. So Dilandau's in rehab I guess? The stress of having the entire unit slaughtered by van triggered a transofmration back into Allen's sister?

Allen: "I'll lock you in a birdcage before long" what? I get the protective chivalry jam but seriously?

So Folken is really a pacifist? "Fighting solves nothing." He owed Dornkirk for his new arm and really thought peace would be possible. Though, Dornkirk, despite wanting peace I guess, thinks war is a way to achieve that.

I wonder if Tetsuya Nomura was influenced by Escaflowne in his design for Sephiroth. Folken with his wings out, holding a long sword, and having that metal shoulder looks an awful lot like Sephiroth with his black wing, one shoulder pauldron, and long katana.
