This episode is cleanly split between two separate stories that focus on the members of Frierens party besides herself.
We begin with an idyllic wagon ride as Fern nods off and falls into Frieren.
We learn its been four years since they started their adventures, and one year since Stark joined them.
At the next village they visit, all of the inhabitants are asleep.
Frieren puts them in a protective barrier while she and Sein carry on.
And yet before they encounter the monster, Frieren also passes out.
She does so knowing Sein can wake her up with his magic, but only for about five seconds.
Now suddenly Sein is on his own against a subspecies of chaos flower.
While able to dodge the plants strikes, he presumably only has so many proverbial bullets in his clip.
He told Sein that while Frieren lacked trust and mutual understanding, Sein learned to trust in herwords.
Taking that lesson to heart, Sein recalls that Frieren said shed deal with the monster if awakened.
Sein chooses to believe her, and casts a reawakening spell on her.
Since the partys broke, he cant turn it down, so the etiquette lessons begin.
Ordens butler Gabel administers the lessons, everything from dressing, standing, studying, and dancing.
Even though Fern thinks this kind of thing doesnt suit him, you could tell she was charmed.
Its while learning the Orden style of swordfighting that Stark encounters the lordsyoungerson, Mut.
But as she undergoes these lessons, Stark is watching.
Besides, Orden still has a son in Mut, who will surely grow up to become fine heir.
