This week starts, appropriately enough, with a birds-eye view of the capital covered in mournful snow.
Alpha sits by the fire in her bare feet, utterly checked out now that Shadow has forsaken her.
As she considers this, Beta arrives with a letter from Lord Shadow decoded by her and Eta.
Before we even hear its contents, we know its more good news for Alpha that soothes her heart.
If she was doing a hush-hush secret mission for Boss (i.e.
eliminating Juggernaut), Alpha is fine with that, because shes back home safe.
Nowweknow its because Shadow Garden misinterpreted his note, went to this location and took the gold.
Yukime is exactly where she wants to be: standing in judgment of Gettan.
But Cid doesnt care about any of that.
He wants to know where his gold is, and keeps punching Gettan until he tells him.
Of course, Smith is not so clear as to say I want my gold coins.
Instead, he keeps repeating his desire to retrieve something very precious to me.
Cid walks to where Yukime is standing, she embraces him, and he heals her back.
Garter is arrested by Iris as the mastermind behind the distribution of counterfeit bills and disruption of the market.
Alpha appears before Yukime to deliver a letter that Gettan wrote to her which was found in his office.
The only loser in this whole ordeal, besides the MCA and Gettan, is Cid.
And now matter how much he and Delta dig, he wont find any gold in them snow-covered hills.
I had a big smile on my face as everything fell into place.
It doesnt matter if those werent his intentions.
He doesnt know it, but when he returns, Alpha will have a hard time not smiling.
