Summary(Brief): Sensing Clare’s yoki Priscilla ran away to the opposite direction, leaving Isley there. After defeating Rigardo Clare finds herself unable to suppress her yoki. She asks Helen to take off her head while she is still conscious as a human. Meanwhile Priscilla transforms into her awaken form and regains her memory, she then mistakens Clare’s yoki for Teresa’s and claims that she must kill her. As Helen prepares to strike, Clare felt Priscilla’s yoki and darted off towards it. From a far Galatea also felt something strange, however she was not to interfere because her mission is simply reconnaissance. Miria, Deneve and Helen sets off to catch up with Clare, the rest of the Claymores were to rest and heal. Due to the snow storm it was hard for them to locate Clare, luckily Galatea was there to point them in right direction. Back in town Raki was still crying, suddenly he heard a voice telling him to hurry, it was Jeane. Even though she was heavily injured she was still going to find Clare, with this Raki decides to join her. At the creator of a near by Volcano Clare stood opposite Priscilla, apparently Clare will never forgive her. Isley appears and claims he wish to be an audience to see who the victor will be.

Thoughts: This episode was pretty interesting in terms of where it’s heading since it really looks like it’s going to end with one season. I was right about Priscilla sensing Teresa’s yoki within Clare, in fact that’s what triggered Priscilla to regain her memory and hence Clare’s reaction. Some of my frustration from last week carried over since Raki still did not get to meet Clare, he was only a corner away before Clare dashed away! It would have been nice to see Clare pick between him and fighting with Priscilla.

I guess having read and loved the manga, my expectations for the anime would be high as well hence any changes which deviates the anime from the manga will automatically be compared with the “original”. But it is because I know they changed it while not sure how much of it will stick to the manga, the episode became very exciting. And indeed some things were quite surprising, like how Galatea turned up just to help Miria, Deneve and Helen locate Clare. Jeane and Raki was another one, looking at Jeane’s condition it will take her a few days to get to where battle is going to take place so I wonder what role they will play.

I think the showdown between Priscilla and Clare may turn out a bit weird for the manga readers but not very much so for those who just watch the anime, since in the anime they never really showed the powers of the Abysmal ones or the currently number one and two, not to mention how strong Priscilla actually is from Extra Scene 3 of the manga. Nevertheless I am looking forward to next week’s episode and even more to how they will conclude since there is still a lot of unsettled matters like the other two abysmal ones, perhaps there is still a chance for a second season.
