Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The frigid northern borderlands become a battlefield when Kimblee finally closes in on Scar. Deeper into the frozen wasteland, Ed and Al’s fight is against the bitter elements as they struggle to reach Fort Briggs.
Our Take
A slower, transitional episode that mostly works as setup for the Briggs arc. The frozen trek gives Ed and Al some nice character moments, and the arrival at the fort adds a welcome jolt of tension, but Kimblee’s pursuit of Scar feels like it’s stalling until the real confrontation. Worth watching, just don’t expect much forward momentum.
