Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Mustang must make a difficult choice: will he break alchemy’s greatest taboo? Or will he watch the person dearest to him die? Meanwhile, it grows ever more difficult to discern where Ling ends and Greed begins.
Our Take
A tense, punishing hour that puts Mustang in an impossible corner and lets the show’s scariest villain, the man in the white coat, do all the talking. The Ling and Greed material works better than expected, but the hostage theatrics lean on coincidence a bit too much. Still, the dread here is real and mostly earned. Worth your time.
