EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting just past the season's midpoint, Episode 7 pivots from the suspicion and tension that defined Episode 6 into deeply character-driven territory, using the quieter moment to build emotional foundations that will matter when the conflicts escalate. It functions as a deliberate bridge episode—enriching the relationships between Vanitas, Jeanne, Noé, and Dominique before the back half of the twelve-episode run raises the narrative stakes. The personal dynamics explored here are clearly being positioned as fuel for the dramatic turns still to come.
