YES. This episode was awesome. This new season really has lost nothing.
So, Alois Trancy. What a little bitch. And straight as a rainbow judging by his behaviour in this episode. Not only did he think it would be fun to dress up as a maid, he goes right ahead and licks Ciel’s ear. I mean it was cute, but… so very unexpectedly gay. What is his problem with his maid, Anna? I mean, so far… he’s ripped out her eye, hurled several sharp objects at her, made her strip almost naked in front of him and Claude… I know the kid’s twisted but he seems to give her special attention.
I love the developing rivalry and tension between Sebastian and Claude. It’s pretty hot. Their exchanges are so wonderfully acidic. They may both be “one hell of a butler”, but I get the feeling that Sebastian is going to pwn Claude’s ass next episode.
The Monkey Magic reference made me happy. xD
Nice to see Prince Soma back. Pretty little idiot that he is. Seemed rather odd for him to be in some random London street giving out curry bread to the poor, but there it is… Better than swanning around in his castle I suppose. The boy has no resolve whatsoever. What he’d do without Agni I don’t know.
It was strange however… the effect the mansion had on Ciel. And I don’t understand the significance of the tea. What’s it for? Also, what in the world does Alois want from Ciel? He just says “I want you”. Given his behaviour in the episode I can quite well believe that, but in all seriousness, there must be more to it than that. What could he possibly do with Ciel? . . . -slaps away naughty thoughts- Whoooaaah… could it be that it was the Trancy family that kidnapped Ciel when he was a child? Hm, it seems unlikely actually. So why did he flashback to that when he was wandering around the mansion? Hmmm. The plot thickens. And thickens.
Oh well. Looks like we have an epic demon butler showdown to look forward to next episode.
