And with Kenanji gone, Prospera is finally ready to unleash her gambit. She certainly would have done this either way, but it is a big help for her to have one less person who could possibly see through what was going on present.
The lack of weapons insisted upon by Miorine serves as a good cover for her actions, although that was certainly not what Miorine ever had in mind from all of this.
And as Feng Jun talks with Bel, she reveals some real bombshells about what is going on and what Prospera has been up to. Ochs Earth are back, and they're being used by the Assembly League. Considering that the Dawn of Fold were using their Gundams, they must fit in to this as well, either as someone directly part of Ochs Earth/the Assembly League's plans, or as a tool that they're using. It's unclear which right now.
Miorine can only watch on in dismay as everything she was working towards goes up in flames. There is no longer a peaceful way out of this. Prospera has literally burned that hope to the ground.
Feng and Bel are on the verge of cracking the case of just what this has all been about, when Godoy shows up and ambushes them. It's unclear if Feng will survive or not, we didn't see a confirmation of her death, but I have a hard time imagining Godoy would just allow her to live; he's too much of a professional. Still, Bel and Guston have escaped for now and can start to figure out what the next step is going to be.
For now, all we can do is watch on in horror at the devastation that Prospera has wrought. The city is up in flames, families are lost, and war is here for sure now.
While Elan 5 has been given some humanity in this episode, the real Elan is just as much of a calculating sociopath as ever, while Shaddiq and Henao recognize that Prospera has dealt them a big blow. Shaddiq probably had big plans for those Gundams Prospera just blew up. And now Guel is going to be on the hunt for his next move as well, so it will be interesting to see how he navigates through that.
As the episode ends, we have a real reversal for both Suletta and Miorine. Suletta finally understands why Eri pushed her away, and she realizes what her mom has been up to this whole time. Meanwhile, Miorine can only look on in horror and bemoan how everything is her fault. In trying to free Suletta from Prospera's control, she herself was used by Prospera, and it is only now that she can actually see that. Miorine's arrogance that she understood everything has lead her here, watching the Earth that she dreamed of visiting for so long burn
