EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the exact halfway mark of the 50-episode run, episode 25 serves as a critical turning point — the Willghem becoming operational transforms the Militia's strategic position and the shape of the conflict going forward. It follows 'Laura's Distant Howl,' which tested the Militia's resolve during difficult preparations, and directly sets the stage for 'To be Awakened,' where the narrative pivots toward new fronts and escalating stakes. This is the fulcrum episode that separates the series' first-half groundwork from its second-half ambitions.
