Ah, large houses and magical girl shows, it was bound to happen in this show at some point (although the only thing coming to my mind right now is Cardcaptor Sakura, well the ranborg fight reminds me of another magical girl show but maybe mentioning the name would be too spoilery).

Look how far we've come in this series, Ellee is speaking rather coherently this episode. Now that I think about it, Sora's cape (particularly during her transformation) kinda reminds me of Takuto from Star Driver. So I guess the whole house got ranborged and also everything inside of it and also there's a suit of armor left behind in the house?

The ending was kinda weird, like when did they have time to figure out who the family was and also conveniently when that gets brought up the family shows up lol. Also what's the whole thing about Marron talking and how would a little girl end up with a sentient stuffed animal with I guess psychic powers? Does she know Marron talks? Eh, whatever, let's just say it's the power of childhood wonder and imagination. I guess the first half was nice enough and it was nice seeing Ellee have more agency and be buddies with Marron (although I guess it was kind of a Sora focused episode?), kinda feels like a continuation of Ellee's communicative abilities like what happened with the animals earlier. In a semi-related topic, Marron kinda reminds me of how Beanie Babies used to have normal-sized eyes and then I think they started getting designed with bigger and bigger eyes?
