Another pulse pounding episode.

This show's on a haphazard schedule for the rest of its run. It's off next week, back for a week, off again, and then goes on break for a season. 

Impressions:

You can do setup without having to skip literally everything else, you know. Anyyway, it skips a few months and insists that everything is totally going super great aside from all the terrorists plotting assassinations that'll totally for super realsie real make things serious any minute now. Except not only is this a Sunrise Bandai-Namco show, and that is how they literally all go, and that the status quo for every single episode past the prologue has always been unicorns and sunshine. The greatest adversity Suletta's faced was a pair of bullies splattering a window with invisible ink. So this is, what? The third episode spent mostly in Zoom calls and meetings, insisting that aaaaaany minute now, something will hit the fan. Maybe it will. But plenty of Sunrise shows have also immediately backed down after killing one side character and gone right back to the status quo, and this has not been one of the more… how to say… ambitious in its cruelty to its cast.

There's little else to say because little happened. We could've started the episode with the post-credits scene and I think the only thing we would've missed would be Suletta getting sad at being told that the entire world doesn't revolve around her. Which, sure, she has a point since that certainly flies in the face of everything else that this show has said and done so far, but I'm not cheering for the inevitable "No, Suletta, you are the most specialist person ever," speech either. Knock some characters down a few pegs for once, show. Let them show their resolve by getting up after being knocked down, not by overcoming their crippling anxiety to continue to be absolutely invulnerable.
