This.

And I thought she was especially cruel when she pretty much chimed in and said it would be good for the grandfather's "rehabilitation" if he wasn't helped back up after falling. Hmph. Her plans and scheming better not work out in the end... It just wouldn't be right.

Honestly, I dunno how far I'd go to call her evil. A greedy, selfish c*nt maybe, but not evil. When the total revelation of her plans is revealed, you'll see she has good intentions... well, sorta.

Last few minutes were incredibly tense, indeed. Poor Valentine being stuck with an asshole of a father and a conniving, manipulative stepmother. and Valentine's grandfather, too, the poor old man. >_>

Am I supposed to know who Edmond Dantes is or who was in that coffin?

I really don't know why this would make anyone want to watch The Tudors lol. Although it was a great show.

I guess Edmond was who they crossed or whatever (like in the Jim Caviezel movie, since he was the main character and that was his name) but I have no idea who that was in the coffin.

Interesting episode.

Valentine's parents are mean, I feel sad for her and her grandfather. I hope they get away with her.

Edward Dantes is his real name eh

How did they noticed it so fast?
I really want to know the layout of Valentine's house
Did they really spend so much time figuring out what's Grandpa want to say?
Nothing makes sense, but I like it xD

I can't believe that Val is still alive. I guess the Count didn't want to take innocent lives. Not yet anyways.

And I'm glad the ring has taken an toll on the mom.

Hope the grandpa will be okay...=( He seems neglected.

Just realized that the guy with the eyepatch who let Villefort's private investigator sleep with the fishes for poking his nose where it didn't belong was actually the bandit chief over at Luna. He sure did a thorough job of getting the message across from across the grave that a dead man's better off being well left alone. The Count doesn't need any more people snooping around his fairly distant private life, after all.

Max, Franz, and Renaud decided to take Valentine's safety into their own hands and tried to save her from her impending doom in that horrid abode. Her grandfather even revealed the truth about who was responsible for this atrocity right before sending them off. I'm really pissed off that the two of them would joke about the grandfather falling off his wheelchair and not giving a shit about helping him back up. They actually did him in too and anticipated their arrival right at their escape vehicle for reasons unknown. They're really sharp, damn. Hope the Prosecutor sees through the lies and do his job rightfully for once but I can't really count on him to do so.

This was a pretty big episode, because it was finally revealed what connected the three fathers, outside of them all having major positions in Paris. The count is obviously connected to their seemingly dark past. The tension is rising and I can't wait for the past's reveal.

I'm glad that Franz and Maximillion are working together to save Valentine. In an anime with so many fucked up interpersonal relationships, it's really uplifting to see characters working together for a similar cause and respecting each others motives in the process ("hey I love your fiance, hope you don't mind, let's save her" "oh yeah np bro, let's do it")

Valentine's mother disgusts me; a typical stepmom that wants her own (snotty annoying ruthless) kid to prevail over her stepdaughter, who's the rightful heir. Not that that should be the main reason for someone inheriting the "business", but really, no one in their right mind would grant the boy anything.

5/5 for this episode. First 5/5 rating for me personally and I really hope the show keeps it up. I'm glad I pushed myself through the beginning episodes.

Grandpa da GOAT for snitching on the mom. Also, Edmond sucks for laughing at the idea of an old man falling out of wheelchair. What was the counts part in the pay I thought he was the one killed.

Ten episodes in, and this show is sure taking its time for everything to unravel. Hopefully it's all worth it in the end.

Edmond Dantes comes back from death to take revenge. Some more thrilling reveals in this episode. Finding the informant in the casket was certainly quite shocking. And that painful cliffhanger...
On a side note, Valentine's step-brother is such an asshole even by "spoiled brat that most likely has inherited his mother's genes" standards.

Seriously... who is this Edmond Dantes... what did they do to him that they are so scared like that?

I'm not very good at guessing, but I was thinking that maybe this Edmond is the human who asked the Count to take revenge on them...? (Something like Kuroshitsuji). Although I'm not really sure either.

And please, if Valentine doesn't die, please give her and Maximilien a happy ending!
