Schultz seems to almost sort of get it now, which is interesting. He almost seems like he could actually develop into a plausible rival given some time. Sadly, with only 6 episodes remaining, I don't think he's going to have the time, and I'm not optimistic about getting the whole story behind the story with the "silver wheel" crowd.

Still, I liked this episode as a whole. Good war relief, more reasonable character development, and a set-up for some potentially excellent action next week. I'd love to see Alice break out the "slayer" sword and kick some ass in her formalwear (except she'd need to change back into those boots).
