Saber and Lancer fight but the latter leaves after the former discovers his real identity. Rin adorably pouts and whines about the unfairness of Shirou getting Saber instead of her. Ooh Rin, you do want Saber so badly, duntcha? Rin gets Kotomine to inform Shirou about the rules of the War of the Holy Grail and we have the clichéd ‘Hero Determines He’ll Fight’ Resolution.

Arika is rescued by Sergey - with some help from the Juliet Gang. Sergey does not kiss Arika despite his orders from Nagi to seduce the real queen of Windbloom (at this point, Sergey assumes it’s the one with the Blue Sky Sapphire pendant) and instead antagonizes her by ridiculing the Have Your Dream and Love Plan and blaming Rena for the deaths of the King and Queen.
