Episode 12: Family

It's a classic horror movie setup: A rundown motel in the middle of nowhere.

And really, that's kinda what this episode is? No investigation, no extended action scenes, just our heroes resting in a motel and dealing with what comes.

That's all nice enough, and the main plot about the family who runs and lives in said motel is all well and good, but they feel rather undercooked with so much screen time given to our current main trio.

Not that I'm complaining too much though given that this episode actually gave me the biggest laugh in the show so far. It's not Sword's' obsession with boobs, it's not even how he feels the need to justify it as though he's some grand holy monarch, no, it's that he's so dedicated to making Sophie understand his kink that he feels the need to go into explicit detail even when locked in another room! Just, that is DEDICATION right there.

That aside though, overall the episode was just okay. Like I said, the family didn't get much development beyond being a very basic broken home story, and the bit with Sophie learning that Makai can't get too involved with those they save is something that I felt should've been self-evident, though I guess she specifically never learned that lesson, so it's fine.

Nothing really wrong with this one, but nothing other than that great comedic bit makes it particularly stand out either.
