Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Scar is cornered by a pair of gruesome chimera, the Elrics must enter the fray as his unlikely allies. Later, Winry’s attempt to confront Scar over his role in her parents’ death ends in disaster.
Our Take
A tense, snowbound standoff episode that mostly earns its runtime by throwing enemies into the same pot and letting the awkwardness play out. The chimera fights are solid, but the Winry confrontation is the real draw, painful and handled with more care than most shows would manage. It drags a bit in the setup, but the emotional payoff lands hard.
