Since the catch of the fall and being in each other’s arms, both Yuuta and Rikka were able to confirm that they in fact are in love with each other. With advice from their friends, the two step forward to confront each other about their feelings. Just when the two had just became a couple, Yuuta receives an important request from Touka that could potentially threaten their relationship.

Impression: LOL MY SUMMARY IS SO DRAMATIC/SHOT

~EVA'S LIVE REACTION OF THE CONFESSIONS DURING THE EPISODE~
HOLY SHIT!
SNAP!
SHE ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGED IT!
RIKKA REALIZED THAT SHE IS IN LOVE WITH YUUTA.
FOR REAL.
FOR REAL.
DID I EMPHASIZE FOR REAL?
HO SNAP. YUUTA TOO? HOLY SMOKES THIS IS-
Heehee look at these two. So flustered, I am loving this.
THEY ARE SO CUTE.
NOW KISS.
OH MY GOD, SHE CONFESSED TO HIM.
I REPEAT, RIKKA CONFESS TO YUUTA! /SCREAMING
AWWW YUUTA WAS GOING TO CONFESS TOO <3 <3 <3
STAWP IT YOU TWO STAWP IT! FEELS~~~~~~
YUUTA ACTED OUT HIS DARK FLAME MASTER EEEEEEEEEE~
OMG GOD THIS IS JUST, I AM SQUEALING THIS IS WAY TOO ROMANTIC, STOP IT. STOP BEING SO PERFECT. STAWP ITTTTTTT! /SMACKS SOMETHING

Wow that was a heart fluttering, squeal worthy, romantic episode with a perfect dose of FEELS at the end there.
This episode, both Yuuta and Rikka were just super adorable! They were so precious from start to finish! Their confessions to each other was so perfect and it was no surprise to see Rikka being the one to say it first. The whole scene made my heart flutter and my shipping fangirl squeal like crazy! <3 <3 <3

JUST LOOK AT THEM! HOW DO YOU NOT LOVE THEM TOGETHER?!

At this point, I still believe her mission of searching for the Ethereal Horizon  is her way of staying connected with her father. Like Yuuta said, she probably has accepted reality (if anything, most likely after she seen her home had disappeared) but this is her unique way of protecting herself. However now that Rikka had removed her ‘Wicked Eye’ as Yuuta had asked her to, I am curious to see where this will go. I was truly shocked to see that Rikka actually ended up removing it on her own within this episode. Now I am especially interested with how she will interact with her mother. Will the two mend their broken bonds or will the divide between them remain?
Truth to be told, to most anxious moment of the episode was when Yuuta was making the decision to follow Touka’s request of having him ask Rikka to remove her eye patch and contact. It was intense because there was a big risk involved. It wasn’t just about the chance of severing their friendship, it was the risk of losing what has just hardly begun- their relationship as a couple. To put that on the line wasn’t easy, but it appears that perhaps Yuuta won’t have to gnaw himself for fulfilling the request after all. Hopefully Rikka will be able to cope without her Wicked Eye.
I was just a bit disappointed that they skipped out on the club’s performance. I would have liked to see that, even more so with Shinka acting out Yuuta’s role as Dark Flame Master.
Lastly, poor Isshiki, it’s no surprise that he went all out to confess to Kumin- only to get rejected while she was asleep. If she were awake, I wouldn’t have been surprised to see her accept it with that naive mind of hers.
