I think this show maintains its tension best when the audience doesn't know when or if there will be a reset. Events this episode force either there to be a reset, or the main character becoming essentially a stalker or villain. While the later would probably be more entertaining to watch, it would be less satisfying and break convention to the point of being... alienating to the audience itself, since we have been given so much time to see the redeeming qualities of Subaru for the first 10 episodes, and thus highly unlikely.

My point is that I feel there is a precarious balance between the intrigue of Subaru's next reset and the reality of the scope of this story being improbable to explore, in depth, those types of machinations. That's not a bad thing, just a different direction than I would have preferred the show to go in.
