WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. I found this episode to be very fun. It was clearly not the funniest episode in the series. Still, it had a sizable amount of humor and was very enjoyable. The episode also had more emotional and serious moments than some other episodes. It was nice to see Tapris again, as she is always a fun addition to the show.
This episode really felt like Satania’s first moment we see how truly caring she is. Throughout the show, she has not wanted to admit she truly cares about others deep down. Yet, she goes out of her way to care for the dog despite the dog causing her lots of trouble throughout the show. It was nice to see this have a happy ending with Satania now living with the dog, which seems fun. It was also nice to see Gab be a good friend and go out of her way to help Satania out. This helps show that Gab still has a bit of angel left in her somewhere. This part definitely felt emotional, but there was some nice humor in it as well.
The section with Tapris was very fun and humorous. It’s fun to see how klutzy, paranoid, and naïve Tapris is. Her learning to use a computer was quite hilarious. When Tapris tried to learn to use a computer to save Gabriel by helping her to get through her video games more quickly, it brought back memories. It reminded me of how Gabriel wanted to use a computer to save game characters and make others happy. It seems though that Tapris is not about to fall into video game addiction like Gab is.
As for the reference to Gabriel’s sister at the end of the episode, this definitely strikes me as interesting. During the last episode, Gabriel was nervous about her older sister and mentioned she nags. Gab was careful to make certain she was not around. This seems to tie into whatever reason Gab is shocked to hear her sister is visiting.
There is one thing I was disappointed about in this episode though. That is that we did not get to see Raphiel and Gab help Satania sneak into Heaven. I was looking forward to seeing that play out as Gabriel and Raphiel mentioned it at the end of the last episode, but did not appear. Hopefully this will show up later in the series instead.
