Yup, pretty much a recap of events happening in the ALO world featurning Kirito and Eugeo.

It details some of the early adventures and people they've met along with challenges they've faced together. Some of the more important scenes are also covered such as those about Fanatio and Alice.

Next episode should be a new one.

w. main guy's narration (explaining to Alice girl), the story goes back to the beginning of the season, where Alice girl got abducted, then Eugeo guy's decision for travel, schooling, kouhai girls incident to meet grown-up and memory forgotten Alice girl.

The first battle against Synthesis team, meeting Librarian girl to know the truth and lead to what they do now. Even showing Eugeo guy's battle against the first Synthesis guy (Suwabe-san's character) where they are not there. (In another word, recap, with narration to tell Alice girl)

Then a warning that this world is reaching the end... Ending the ep. with main guy wanting her to help out with what they are doing in the name of peace.

Alice girl's decision in ep. 19.

Just skip it. It's a recap of all that happened so far and it's not a bad recap don't get me wrong I'm dissatisfied with it because i wanted to see the story progress it's kinda cool if you watch it as it when it releases but outside of ppl like me it'll probably suck a lot so just skip it don't bother literally 0 important seconds in this episode

A recap...but the opening animation is different...The opening shows the events that happened in Alice's world, while the ending shows the events that occurred in the real world...I'll give them that.

At least it didn't forget to recap the best part of the series so far...

Yeah, really creative there, so props for that!

Pretty sure almost everything that’s happened thus far in this season was covered in this episode, thanks to the little cameo from the Op and ED too as mentioned above, so a cool insight back at all that’s happened so far. While it reminds me of all the inconclusive developments, to say the least, that have happened thus far coupled with the large amount of content that we’ve breezed through, it felt like a refresh, or so to say, for me nevertheless.

Looking forward to seeing how the next 6-7 episodes play out!

I disagree. You'll find a disconnect if you watch episode 19 directly after 18 considering the whole recap episode was actually part of the LN(IIRC, it's only a few paragraphs long though).

For a recap episode, this was nice and succinct... And the way they made it, so that this was everything Kirito had to reveal to Alice, was pretty smart.

I think this is the first recap I watch. I liked a lot this season, so I'd like to see everything that's present 👍
It was a nice summary.

This recap was very enjoyable.

Actually not a bad recap - it reminded us of everything important we need to know before upcoming finale and put it into the context.

Would be nice to have some remarks or questions from Alice too but the episode kinda worked even without it.

For a recap it was actually done very well. All key points were included and ended quite well. In terms of recaps SAO sure was always strong in those.

That was a nice way of doing a recap, without the pre-Alicization part since Alice was the one hearing the story.
