Episode Summary & Review
Summary
A secret encounter allows Mustang to spark new ambitions in an old friend – an ally with loyal troops at his command. Meanwhile, Edward and Alphonse share a chance meeting with their biggest fan – young Selim Bradley.
Our Take
A quieter setup hour that mostly works because Mustang’s recruitment scenes carry real weight, even if the whole thing feels like pieces being moved for later. The Selim material is creepy in a way the show clearly intends, and knowing viewers will pick up on it fast. Worth watching, just don’t expect much forward momentum.
