Well, this and the previous episodes told a standard, yet beautifully shot story. But despite the captivating visuals, the plot itself feels terribly rushed. Many scenes seem out of nowhere and are cut short abruptly. This may confirm the theory that Zeztz's real world is just another layer of a dream, but it hardly touches on the motives of the restaurant owner and his chefs. It's more likely that the script simply didn't fit the format. Or the director simply wasn't interested in this particular story.
In terms of the overall plot, we learn that Nox is Fujimi's missing partner. I guessed this even before I saw the photo. In any case, it confirms my idea that the show is currently focused on being as tight and cohesive as possible, without adding unnecessary elements. So I'm eagerly awaiting the full truth to come out and Nox to start answering questions.
The next episode is dedicated to the paintings. And Nox will continue to demonstrate the new properties of his weapon. It looks like his henshin won't be long in coming.
