I just managed to catch up on the past two episodes. Episode 9 was a ton of fun, but this one...wasn't. It had its moments, but it weirdly felt like a bad imitation of episode 9.
The whole plan of setting up Alicia was executed much more poorly this episode. I agree with Mel @rikka@ani.social
Some other story beats we got this episode was the Will reveal. It's not terribly surprising considering how we knew he used to be a noble and how much they lingered on that painting of the King and his brother in an earlier episode. I get the feeling that Duke is hiding something about Will and I am not quite sure yet what it is. His conversation with Alicia about him seemed weird.
Speaking of Duke being weird...
Fortunately, Alicia shut that down...
However, she then walks out of the room and seems to be all blushy about it. Like, this is Grade A creeper stuff Alicia! Don't enjoy it! Gill needs to convince her that a true Villainess doesn't need a man like Duke.
Full agree. This episode didn't really bring too much to the table. We got a brief rundown of what happened with Will Seeker and then a whole lot of nothing. Not even very many cool villainess moments. And seriously, ANOTHER rumor of name calling and ANOTHER brainwashing reveal? Felt like a filler episode.
And Creepy Prince does creepy things, surprising no one.
