Ciel boards a ship heading back to London. Guess who he meets on the ship? Of all the people, it's the Undertaker! With a gloomy prediction of Ciel's impending doom. As the ship nears London's shores, they saw that the city was lit bright. The whole city tumbling down in flames. People were getting burned and trampled upon. Amidst all the destruction, Greil walks the streets fulfilling his job as a shinigami. The soft side of Greil is very touching.Away from all the chaos, the Queen was safe in her own bed at the Royal Palace. But all's not well with the Queen as well. She was writhing in pain as her body was melting away. Ash decides to leave her as she was no longer of any use to him. Eventhough the Queen cried tears of blood, I couldn't find it in my heart to pity her at all. Good riddance! >_<Distraught by the mayhem, the captain of the ship Ciel was on orders the ship to turn around. Ciel bribed him with the Phantomhive family's blue diamond ring and managed to get the captain to agree to drop him off. Our little master was shocked to see what the city has become. Walking down the streets of destruction in a daze, he gets saved from some debris by Meirin. Meirin who was also in a state of frenzy brings him to the rest of the gang who were trying unsuccessfully to stop Pluto from turning the city to ashes.Ah, there's Sebastian! He was on top of the roofs with Ash who was gloating on his success and rubbing into Sebastian how incompetent Ciel is. Ash tries again to persuade Sebastian to become his partner and reveals that he is also Angela! WTF!?! I truthfully did not expect that. =.=" Kimochi warui. Sebastian seems annoyed as well at Ciel's new soft side. But to the surprise of everyone, he orders the servant gang to have kill Pluto. It was mercy in Ciel's dictionary. Delighted that his master is back to his usual cold self, Sebastian went off for some preparations.Ciel turns off to continue with his mission: to stop all the Queen and Ash/Angela. He arrives to the Palace to find the Queen already dead in her bed. It turns out that it was all a trap laid out for him. No wonder it was so easy for him to get into the Palace. The alarm was raised and the guards mistakenly took Ciel as the murderer. There was nowhere else for the little master to go and he got shot in the tummy. He fell onto the floor and his blood flowed out forming the sign of his contract. He calls out for Sebastian.And here comes our butler to save his master once again. After taking care of all the guards, they rushed out to look stop Ash/Angela once and for all. In the meantime, Ash/Angela was already preparing for the next stage of his/her destruction plan to wipe out London. Of all the things in this episode that left a deep impression on me is still that image of Ash/Angela showing of his/talent of transformation. Not only was the revelation shocking enough for me, the image is twice as shocking! X_X
