THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
A sick Ureshiko has a dream about some magical girls, including Sayaka, summoning a bright light upon the city. She wakes up to find Tatsumi applying a cold towel to her forehead. He stays at her bedside until morning, holding her hand. Elsewhere, in front of a council, Sayaka is being scolded for failing thus far. Returning to town, she wanders around bored until she finds Valentine in her office. The two have a lengthy discussion about why Valentine stays in this world since Sayaka seems to be looking for a purpose to what she’s doing. Valentine mentions that she found love once, then agrees to help Sayaka.

Meanwhile, Tatsumi visits Tomatsu but finds the editor from Tokyo there. She takes him outside and tries to seduce him, but he runs away. At a night festival, Valentine prays for the spirit of her dead lover. She then transforms into her magical girl form, surprising Sayaka. Sayaka realizes that to still have her powers, Valentine also hasn’t kissed before.

Valentine herself remembers her loved one, and how he died in an accident on the same day she got accepted into school. Ureshiko arrives to find a saddened Valentine who challenges her for the ring for Sayaka’s sake. Valentine manages to knock Ureshiko off her broom then tries to take the ring off her finger. Ureshiko figures out that the ring is all that Valentine has to aim for, now that her loved one is dead; Valentine wants to destroy the town and recreate it. Ureshiko makes Valentine realize that she doesn’t understand her own feelings and that she the memories of her loved one aren’t artificial. Meanwhile, Tatsumi is punched to the ground by Tamotsu because the editor from Tokyo accuses him of assaulting her. Ureshiko arrives just in time to see the scene.

Seems that being a magical girl is a hard life, even harder if you find love. There are so many lost loves, lost chances, and forbidden kisses that it really makes you wonder if it’s worth being a magical girl. I’m beginning to feel like Ureshiko is the only one who has a pure heart, in the sense of wanted to protect the world.

I did not expect it to get so serious, sad and a bit depressing. When Sayaka will create new world, everything, including memories, will be gone. I do wonder if it will be explained why this worlds are created.

Well, I did expect it to take a depressing side eventually. I mean the signs were all over the place, especially at Agnes and her husband's relationship.
