That's going to be its own entire paragraph in a couple weeks, isn't it?
Pretty dull and honestly, nonsensical episode otherwise. The show's Vegeta joins the school and… completes his transition into gag character.

But also Alma's backstory, which only boils down to "You're the super secret key to everything for reasons nobody knows." Yeah, that's where we were before. What we've added here is that there's some kind of secondary widget involved. Why explaining this had to wait until a dude was dying on a table, I couldn't tell you.
