A mini recap episode with Davis explaining her side of the story and after all that she gets put on leave. At least Davis knows that the Wallace Corporation is involved some how. Episode ended with another banger song.

I like how Davis isn't a bothersome detective that the spectator hates, but a interesting character even being against Elle.

Well better being called delusional than the higher-ups straight killing her in the middle of the desert to cover-up.

Smartly placed recap episode that doesn't feel like filler or an infodump. It kind of sucks that this took a whole episode out of the 13 episode season, but that aside 5/5 recap. Beautiful closeups that shows their expressions well.

Unfortunate ending, but not at all surprising. From the get go -- from higher ups to also the interviewer he smelled like a load of crock getting her statement and then suddenly asking about her Blade Runner results. I also find it interesting that he didn't start recording at the beginning beginning, but started after her "testimony" started. Also that the recording machine also looks like a tazer down to the lil battery bar.
(P.S. Maybe I haven't watched Black Lotus in awhile, but it did slightly confuse me when the episode started--almost felt like I skipped an episode but anyways..)

As far as recap episodes go, this was creative and probably the best way to go about it without making the viewer think that you are completely wasting their time. Nice to spend more time with Officer Davis and get to see the institutional corruption that she’s up against from her perspective. We get to see just how much the world is stacked against her, how alone she is in her dogged pursuit of the truth, making her a great mirror for Elle.

Finally managed to get my hands on the dub, and oh it's just a recap. Nonetheless, a well-told recap that makes sense and also reminded me how good the past couple episodes actually were; albeit of course the animation would could use a lot of work. Animate the people better and you have a show that actually slaps

I think the Detective is fine as a character, but she contributes practically nothing to the plot.

Yes now that you said it I realize she did absolutely nothing so far XD
I have the feeling that she will end up helping Elle.

We've basically built up that she's supposedly best of her class for a dropout, and that the entire government is corrupt down to the oblivious parties involved. Not really necessary to be honest, but tbh we need something to break up Elle on a killing spree I guess

While the few plot advancements were nice, a show this short does not need that much recap.

Did they run out of content that they could afford to waste this episode on recaps?
Those bodies have been there for days, and they didn't rot?
ED song is nice!

I wish more anime had recaps like this one. With extra scenes and reminding the story in an intriguing way. Not to forget how it easily served as just a regular episode, making it only partially a recap one.
