This episode of Voltron's Season 6 really makes you feel for the characters. Keith's bonding with his mother, as well as his flashbacks into the history of his parents, is really strong. However, the most painful part of the entire episode lies in Lance's side of the story. Having seen Lotor and Allura coming closer together, he begins to wonder if his feelings for Allura are one-sided. It also doesn't help matters that Pidge and Hunk tease him about the issue. While Pidge and Hunk's teasing wasn't supposed to be fun and annoying (they are teenagers, after all), they wrap up Lance's fears fairly accurately. The scene in the lounge was the most emotional part of the entire episode because it shows that Lance's confident, swag-filled personality hides his more timid, softer side. This scene also serves as a preview of what's to come in the second half of the season. The episode also ends with a strong cliffhanger that makes the viewer very much surprised and intrigued. This is one of Voltron's best episodes due to its balancing of heartbreak and humor. This reminds me of the "planets-blowing-up" in the quantum abyss: this episode gives viewers a glimpse of what is yet to come in the season.
