So that's the reason for Grevil's past. What Grevil said to Victorique was a little confusing, but I think I got the gist of it.

well, I guess it was a fair price, yet I wonder what he uses to keep that drill perfectly in tact xD;; ...1 bottle of hair gel? ..or..sometype of perm? ..mmmm.. LOL
or maybe he visits Gintoki's 'that' parlor XD

Grevil's past/present is a little sad and the back story made me like him quiet a lot plus he is actually handsome ;D
Oh Vic...you meanie! I did not like the whole 'i don't know what love means' thing. Its plain stupid.
Jacqueline surely seems like a fun lady.

That was somewhat a sweet episode between Grevil and Jacqueline. Grevil looks kinda cool without his drill though.

I'm not 100% sure myself, but I don't think the drill itself makes Grevil suffer. I think it's a constant reminder of the case that made him give up his own happiness for the sake of the one he loved.

A reminder that he could not save the woman he loved by himself, and the fact it looks really damn stupid, lol.

But seriously, as shown in the flashback Victorique apparently didn't understand concepts like love or possibly even emotions, so she didn't know how to make him suffer and the hair was the only thing (a very childish thing) she could come up with.

Poor Grevil. :( Too bad Jacquline hasn't realized her feelings for Grevil before marriage (since it seems that she had feelings for him). Also, it seems that his father doesn't really care about his son. The man needs only Victorique because of her ability. :(
Next episode will have Avril! Yay!

This episode changed my opinion about Grevil. Before I see him as an arrogant guy but seeing his past, he's good inside.

Liked the Doll Victorique. xD

More Avril next ep. :)

Favorite episode of the show so far :)
Loved Victorique as a doll-pretend. Very cute.

Grevil's story was pretty sad. I don't really know who I should feel more sorry for, though: Grevil or Victorique. Grevil couldn't save the one he loved, and he selflessly allowed Jacqueline to marry someone else. But Victorique, for never knowing what love is being locked up. She helped Grevil with his case, and how Grevil thanked her after all these years was by condemning her by not understanding love.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

Yes, exactly. Everytime I start to like Grevil a little better, he does something cruel to Victorique to undo that opinion.
Calling her a grey wolf, saying she doesn't have a heart and doesn't understand what love is, is so cruel. He's well aware she's been locked up and isolated for ca. 7 years of her life, seperated from her mother.
He does seem to care for her, but he probably had the 'Victorique is the shame of our family' hammered into him to such a degree, that he cant help himself hurting her.

I can't stand Grevil.. this episode made me hate him even more. Calling Victorique a heartless gray wolf cause she didn't know what love was? For heavens sakes, his bastard of a family has had her locked up away from everyone and everything. Sure Grevils past is "sad", but not really that much so. He uses Victorique just to further the honor of his family, as he even said. I don't really like the stereotypical goth loli, but that was pretty messed up.

This episode showed one of the strongest points about this series. Even though the mysteries have lacked any depth to them, the character's do have interesting back stories and I love how they interact with each other.

I saw Grevil differently now thanks to this episode I hope to see more like this.

Of course everyone feels sorry for Grevil, since his past was quiet interesting but why keep Victorique locked up in a dungeon to never hear the word "love"? That seems strange to me...I want Grevil to have his old hair style, it suits him better.

So now we know why Grevil has that weird hair style.
I wonder if Victorique will ever ask him to stop wearing it personally i thought Grevil looked better with the long hair.
I am also wondering if Grevil and Victorique have any more siblings judged by there background story and there weird father this might be very possible.

Grevil's behavior at Victorique was kind of odd he knows now that Victorique's mother was innocent and his behavior towards Victorique changed tho that scene between them seemed to suggest otherwise.
There father seemed like a very strange person the short moment we saw him and what we heard from him, i wonder how he got that way.

And then there is Jacqueline who is a very interesting person she is very playful and it's nice to know that she is the woman Grevil loves.
I wonder if Grevil can get over her and find a other girl he likes but time will tell i guess.

Great to see some more backstory on Grevil and Jaqueline. Also with that we got to know more about Victorique's demand aka Grevil's drill hair.

Poor Victorique didn't even know what "love" was. Dammit Grevil, you made her cry with those words! D:

Luckily we're going to see some summer action next week! =D

I'm still confused. So his consequence for Victoria telling him what really happened was that he had to have that hairstyle? Is it something that he has to maintain on his own? or is it just always there? I'm confused? Could he just one day decide not to have it be a drill?!

Yes, because Victorique helped Grevil out, he has to have his hair like that. From the ep, it looks like the hairstle doesn't bother him at all, so I think he'd keep his hair like that, unless if V. tells him to change it back or something. What WOULD'VE bothered him would be to "stop loving Jacqueline", but since V. didn't know what love was (at the time...) she couldn't have made him do that.

Anyways, my opinions on Grevil keep on changing... At the parts w/ coollonghair!Grevil and Jacqueline I'm all like "aww" and :D, but then when he becomes a jackass ('kay, harsh words, but whatev) to Victorique, I'm like DD:

Greveil is such an annoying bastard. But he actually seemed far better when he was younger... with his hair down.

Now he says stupid things like you have no heart? He used that event to conclude she has no heart.

But I guess being stupid he can't put into context that Victorique was a little girl trapped in a place and would know nothing of humane feelings because the people who should really be taking care of her never showed her a sign of those feelings and are incarcerating her as if she was some kind of monstrosity.

Victorique in that case is the most superior human in that whole place.

I really didn't expect Greveil to be so harsh without knowing what he's talking about.... But I guess he's just any other arrogant man. Unlike Kujo who is just naturally clueless about everything.

Looking forward to the next episode then I guess.

Best episode in a while IMO
Nice to see Grevil and Jacqueline more, I like both of them. I think he looks better with his current hairstyle actually lol XD Plus he looked super cool when he was talking to Victorica lol :3
So Victorica's gained feelings? Uh ... OK lol
Mystery was not a mystery at all. Obviously it looked like a P, and obviously she wrote it on her arm and they did not "magically appear". Don't quite know the motive for why she killed the vet guy so I wouldn't say it's obvious who the killer would be ...
Avril next episode? Yay! :D

So there's the reason to Grevil's ridiculous hair.

I want to feel a little bad on Grevil's unrequited love but since he turns out to be an egoistical douche later on even though an immature Victorique is at fault, not really.

I didn't. He's an egocentrical douche who can't seem to stop for one second to realize Victorique didn't know love BECAUSE SHE WAS NEVER LOVED. How did he expect her to show emotions and empathy when no one cared for her and just left her trapped in a cold room. Even after she shows him that her mother is innocent he's still treating her like a cold monster.

I don't think but a few ppl can understand Grevil's pain. It can be pretty
depresssing. What was worse was the barb he threw back at Victorique. He may
not be as smart as her, but he believes she lacks a human heart. I thought
their meeting might have moved them closer together. All it did was clarify the
divide.

Devoid of a clever mystery (it was too easy to figure out what had been done),
it was still an excellent episode.
