The prefect was an interesting character. It's too bad that she was a double agent. She blew her own brains out, so Dorothy wouldn't have to, but that didn't make it any easier on Dorothy.

The spy business is a difficult one, and it's clear that only a small few are actually cut out for it.

This episode was so bad!

They introduced a character that nobody cares, her revelation was so bland and she commits suicide because reasons.

Honestly, the only thing good about this episode was last five minutes.

BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity.

In Nippon, we trust.

We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. 日本

Couldn't she just have shot her in the arm? That way she couldn't have shot herself and Dorothy saved herself some drama...

Despite the well directed scene with Prefect's confession to Dorothy about how she was the person she idolized to be and not Ange and then the suicide after, I felt that this episode was pretty boring and sort of unneeded for me in a way other than showcasing a bit of the past where you could see where Ange and Dorothy trained to become spies, which could easily be used in a scene where a bigger and stronger narrative was there. The actual content and concept of this episode for the most part was admittedly, really poor for me and the first real episode where I disliked from this show.

The best thing about the episode by far was that sick cliffhanger where Control orders the two of them to embark on their new mission, to assassinate Princess Charlotte. Must be quite the shock to Ange's system since Ange was originally Princess Charlotte herself before the switch so she realizes how they want her actual identity dead + it could be the sacrifice of her dear friend she's known for a decade too. That's got me excited for the next episode, much more than the 20 something minutes before it.

That gunshot was so brutal. I didn't expect that. Poor Dorothy.

Now they need to assassinate the Princess?! Oh, my. What a cliffhanger.

Damn, talk about a brutal moment. I should always expect something like this when a new character shows up just to be a identified as a traitor or a double agent. I guess I'll never learn.

Don't know if it's a smart move to send two spies who have gotten way too buddy-buddy with the Princess to assassinate her. Seems like a dumb move from HQ. And without knowing Charlotte and Ange's backstory of them knowing each other, it still wouldn't make much sense. To me, at least. But they must send their best, lol.

Then again, HQ could be up to something...

The spy training Farm school that Ange attended with this Prefect girl who's on par with her, the trio's fates (along with Dorothy in the same class) interwine again for another dangerous mission with Beatrice.

The real mission is finding out whether Prefect is on their side or not, and a small reunion of their past just for pleasantries, which has Dorothy more worried than usual. The Prefect who aspired to be like Dorothy, a side character who has to end her life being in comparison the entire time. Still remembered this as an intriguing episode at best to connect Ange and Dorothy's characters.

A higher-up switch, and the mission to assassinate Princess Charlotte. How will Ange take this to the grave?

Confusing episode...

Did I miss something or WHY was Prefect targeted??? Was she actually a double agent? When was this revealed? Why was she using drugs? Her briefcase had only those drugs. Was that the reason she fled? Some secret drug for endurance or something?

Her death felt so wrong... First, it is very ambiguous to why they even suspected her of treason. They found no clues in her home and the prefect knew her house was scouted so where's the actual clue? She did absolutely nothing for the girls to decide to ambush her before she reaches the train!

And, neither Ange nor Dorothy tried to shoot Prefect's gun before she would kill herself. I bet those two are more than capable of such shot. In other words, we see no obvious evidence that Prefect was a traitor, yet she's allowed to kill herself. In other words, this mission was "eliminate Prefect if she's a traitor?" Then again, where's the proof she was a traitor???????? And why would she be a traitor? What was Prefect's reasoning anyways???

I either missed something or the episode made 0 sense.

...Why though.

Princess is a far more valuable asset to them alive than dead. Why on earth would they want Princess killed...?

Is the General working for the Duke of Normandy? Otherwise I literally can't think of any reason why you would deliberately kill off a spy who's a member of the freaking royal family if there's no evidence of her being compromised.

Wow, that was graphic, did not expect a scene like this. That training camp of them was interesting, so those three were the only ones who made it through huh... and now it's down to two.
Wonder what happened to L, did the millitary take over? Seems like now it will be the gang against both governments, since there's no way they will assassinate the Princess.
