After Zwei's genius decision to ditch the hot chick offering him the ride of his life (and not of the car sort) and heal his half-dead partner that doesn't even like him, he decides to... well really he doesn't decide anything. He just kind of runs from Inferno thinking that being on the move will save his ass. Hah.
Ein, after her deflowrin-errr bullet removal is broken both in body and mind. Her freakish obsession with her (douche) master Scythe drives her to become an hero, because I guess she desires nothing more than to be with the abusive bastard. Masochist much? Well, she did sound pretty orgasmic as the bullet was painstakingly removed from her leg... anyway she is prevented from painting the bathtub red by Zwei, who comes just in the nick of time to save her. Ein, having lost her purpose in life, her master, and memories sees no reason to continue on with life, somewhat jealous of Zwei gaining his original identity back. Zwei decides to find a new life for both of them, recover her memories, give her a new name (Eren. Awesome translation bro) and blah blah you know it isn't going to happen because this is a tragic story of assassins so something is inevitably going fuck up along the way and make everyone's life somehow worse than it already is (you know, shows like this are masters of this rather sadistic art). As if to respond to my thoughts, Claudia and her bodyguard show up to dish out a dream-shattering smackdown on the stupid kid that thinks roaming about territory of the people that want to kick his ass is a fantastic plan. Zwei is captured and gets the shit kicked out of him as he refuses to divulge the location of his accomplice runaway. Cluadia, being the hot, hot siren she is, offers Zwei a way to clear his name and save Ein (oh I mean EREN) by killing the other manipulative snake of the series. I can smell the drama five episodes away.
Fortunately for Zwei, she notices the Phantom men tracking her and escapes the car to do what she does best: jump people in dark alleys. Unfortunately for her, the bullet wound Lizzie gave her has yet to fully heal and she misses her chance to shoot her stalker due to a most inconvenient surge of pain. All is not over for her yet, however, as the episode ends with an unexpected intervention by her (douche) master.

Zwei confronts Ein and Scythe Master. Tragedy ensues.
Thoughts
A solid episode, although I have to say Zwei's sudden change in character is.... bothersome. It seems strange to me that after regaining his memories he goes from kid Golgo to a softy. Thankfully, it looks he hasn't gone completely soft yet as the next episode seems to imply he's going into berserk mode again. On a side note, this episode reminded of Leon - The Professional for some reason.
Nicely written man. I have to get caught up on this series.
