No clicking if spoilers aren´t your snacks of choice. Otherwise, please do and contribute to the possible discussion points =)

I was writing this as I watch.

• Hi Monica...
  
• Charles = ¨Leaves everything to Schneizel¨. Goddammit, so it´s all a big plan after all.
  
• Nina never expected Freya to cause that big of a damage.
  
• Suzaku ¨I did that...?¨ ;_;
  
• Gino is extremely pissed off. Expect him to rebel in the next episode.
  
• Lulu ordered Toudou to get everybody to search for Nunnally.
  
• Diethard was surprised to see Cornelia the one who escaped. He thought they were chasing after Viletta
• Schneizel went to Ikaruga
• Nunnally is definitely alive! Search for her!
  
• Toudou refused the order
• Nii-san! Iḿ still here.
• Lulu went crazy as he saw the locket. He was pissed that Rolo was the one who had it when it should have been Nunnally´s. ¨You think you can replace Nunnally? I hate you! Get out!¨
• Orenji ¨Nunnally-sama. Please live.  Live!¨
• Suzaku was convinced thatNunnally was dead
• MILLY LIVES!!!! Her reunion with Rivalz is <3
• The fuck, Schneizel? He told everybody that Zero is his and Cornelia´s younger brother, Lelouch vi Britannia. Asked Diethard how the heck could he not realise. And they told them about Lulu´s Geass. Tamaki tried to defend Lulu, but Ohgi and Viletta came to confirm Lulu and the nature of his Geass.
  
• Everybody now thinks they´ve been Geassed.
  
• I know they´d play they the part where Lulu admitted to Suzaku that he ordered Euphie to kill the Japanese.
• Schneizel is an excellent actor. ¨Iḿ not sure if I myself have been Geassed.¨
  
• Suzaku is still speechless.
  
• Kallen found out about CC´s lost memories
  
• ¨The cc that you know is no more¨
• Everybody throws Zero away.
• He opened his mask for everyone to see, prepared to die. His reason for living after all is gone.
  
• He told Kallen that everything was just a game to him (so that Kallen leaves his side).
  
• Rolo came to Lulu´s rescue in Shinkirou, whisked him away from Ikaruga.
  
• I seriously cried. cried. Cried!! Lulu wanted to die, but Rolo kept using his Geass to get them away from the scene. I stopped counting after the fourth time. Lulu tried to convince him to stop using his Geass, that it was fine because his reason for living is gone, but Rolo wouldn´t allow Lulu to give up.
  
• Lulu asked him why he saved him, and Rolo (;_;) simply said ¨Because Niisan is a liar¨. Uwaaahh!
  
• ¨As expected of my little brother¨ ;__;
  
• ¨If it´s for Niisan, anything is okay¨ ;__;
  
• ¨That´s right. Your brother is a liar¨ T______T
  
• He buried Rolo, and thanked him for the life that Rolo granted him. He attached the locket to the plain wood used as a grave marker. He´s lost everything - Nunnally, Rolo, Order of the Black Knights. And he´d bring Charles with him to hell.

The preview kind of broke my heart. ¨Rolo, you´re not Lelouch vi Britannia´s brother. You´re Lelouch Lamperouge´s brother.¨

Cries. That orgel´s music broke my heart. I was never a big fan of Rolo, but this episode is just so... T_T

I just like to say that as wonderful is it for Lelouch to finally realize Rolo's worth, Sunrise's refusal to reference Shirley at all during this scene loses them extreme points and injures Lelouch's characterization. I can buy him appreciating what Rolo did for him, but I can't buy forgiveness without acknowledging Shirley. That said, Lelouch was actually decent for most of this episode.

I LOVED WATCHING HIM LOSE EVERYTHING. THIS IS THE ONE THING I'VE WAITED FOR THROUGHOUT THE SERIES. FINALLY LELOUCH ON HIS OWN.

Seriously, the Black Knights are boring.

Also, Sunrise had better do something with Suzaku. HE DESERVES IT after all Lelouch has put him through.

Seriously, the Black Knights are boring.

... maybe they are turning into burocrats? Like any organization that values itself like a great organization? ^^U

Didn't he say something about Shirley there?

Thank you for saying this, this is exactly what I'm thinking :D

I'd have to agree. I would find the way Rollo died and Lelouch's change of heart about him really touching if it wasn't just, well... Rollo. I mean, Lelouch really did hate him and did want to kill him, and he had good reasons for that. When he shouted at him in this episode, I was like "Wow, he's actually telling the truth for the first time in this show!" (and so it was kinda ironic that Rollo mistook it for a lie... XD;;). But then he died in such a noble and poignant way, loved by Lelouch as if he had forgotten what kind of a person Rollo was, and I felt like his way of death had a lot to do with fanservice. :/ Perhaps it made me like Rollo a little more (just as it was supposed to), but I didn't find it believable.
