Absolutely AMAZING episode. Read the spoilers from fake Okouchi but was NOT expecting Euphie to go around actually shoot people. O_O
It's really tragic the way it played out. I mean they were on the verge of totally reconciling. Lulu had basically GIVEN UP and was going to work with Euphie....and THIS happens. How messed up is that? As they were talking and laughing I was cringing cause I knew the wonky geass order was coming up. I'm really feeling so bad for Lelouch and Euphie now. And this will definitely bring about a permanent gap between Lulu and Suzaku. I just don't see them EVER working together again. Suzaku should be able to figure out that something isn't right and that Zero did something. Darlton figured it out afterall. And if Suzaku learns more (which is inevitable), he will never forgive Lelouch. Of course, I don't think Lelouch will ever forgive himself. It's always going to be in the back of his mind.
Other things that I noted...Schneizel was really shocked and horrified. I guess this means he really was just using the plan to put the Black Knights in a political bind and not to actually physically do anything to them. The Emperor....damn. I'm starting to think that Lulu is actually just the Emperor's pawn.
Interesting note, we see Marianne in C.C.'s flashback again. People already theorized that perhaps she was a geass user. It seems she knew or had a connection with C.C. so that guess may not be far off.
I don't think Suzaku is a geass user. At the ruins site he stepped onto the ruins and it did NOT react. It was said previously that the ruins react to all geass users and C.C.'s people. It only reacted after Lulu actually stepped onto it. Suzaku did have an odd reaction to the ruins though and he was able to see C.C.'s image in this episode. He definitely has some weird connection to C.C.'s people...we just don't know what it is yet.
This whole episode has totally convinced me Lelouch will die by the end of season 2. There's no way they will let him live after this. And he's not even finished "his path towards ruthlessness". There's more to come. Even if it was an accident in this case, I just don't see him coming out on top in the end. He's in for a huge fall. *sighs* I was really hoping he'd win, but I guess that's not to be.
