lols. But srsly, what irregularities?

After re-receiving their uniforms, all the Black Knights gather around Zero to ask him what went wrong. Lelouch poops out some 'It was all in my plan' bs, and it is ultimately Toudou and Ougi's support that quell the dissidents. (Well, Tamaki's spontaneous ZERO ZERO ZERO chant also helped too.)

LOL BOYSCOUTS.

Guess who's back? Everybody's favorite fgt, Suzaku! He's back for obvious reasons - suspicion of Lelouch returning to becoming Zero. Meanwhile, Jeremiah Gott- I mean, Gino Weinberg launches an attack on Britannia's Area 11 HQ to test its strength. Guilford seems to be missing, just like Cornelia. Anyway, with Gino Weinberg who is Knight of Three, Anya Alstreim who is Knight of Six, himself as Knight of Seven, Suzaku feels that he has more than enough military power to take on Lelouch.

Keeping up appearances …………. How Lulu really feels.

Gino is homo for Suzaku

Anya… writes a blog? Adding to blogroll nao!

Plot hiatus go! On to the fillar of Ashford Academy's festival! Gino and Anya attend, since Gino is curious to see how a 'commoner's school' operates. Meanwhile, Lelouch and Rolo share some brotherly potato peeling love, while a jealous Suzaku looks on.

Suzaku: q______q

Lelouch later spots C.C. wandering the school grounds, and quickly covers her up with a bag. He doesn't want her to be seen, since she's a fugitive. (Aw, and here I though he was being overly possessive.) Viletta, in the meanwhile, struts her stuff with the swimming club.

Lulu no liek cosplay.

Suzaku tells Millay of Kallen's 'extracurricular' activities. The subject of Lloyd comes up, who has apparently lost complete interest in Millay. Elsewhere, Lelouch finds out from C.C. that the person who told Suzaku of Geass and who gave the Emperor his Geass is V.V. Shirley comes calling for Lelouch, and he pushes C.C. into the tomato container next to him. He's suddenly 'eaten' by the…green animal thing that's been wandering around campus. It turns out to be Kallen, who's here to bring C.C. back with her. As Shirley and Kallen battle it out, Suzaku and Millay show up, just when Gino comes by in a Knightmare frame, grabs the tomato container, and zips off.

pu~sh~

C.C. no liek ……………. and yet another image that needs to be posted.

Give me back my Lulu!

Yoink!

All characters chase after Gino, but Lelouch's complete lack of athletic ability causes him to lose out, even to Millay in a dress. C.C., who's been tossed and turned inside the tomato container, is about to be dumped out when Lelouch activates his contingency plan and sets off smoke in the area. Kallen has run off and is bumped into by Viletta, who may or may not have caught a good glimpse of her. Anya meanwhile records Shirley for her blog. Later, Lelouch finds out from Kallen that Viletta had associated with Ougi, but not how or why.

Fail fail, fail fail

We'll never hear the end of this from the fan community. (See bottom of entry.)

*half expecting Viletta to melt*

Resume plot. With Rolo's assistance, Lelouch blackmails Viletta with his knowledge that she associated with Ougi. Li Xingke leads C.C. and Kallen to safety. The festival has wound down to a dance, and Rivalz looks on distressed as Millay has a good time with Gino.

Rivalz looks pretty distressed.

Oh, that's why.

Confronting Lelouch on the rooftop, Suzaku hands him the phone saying it's from the new Governor-General of Area 11. Lelouch picks up the phone to hear Nunnally's voice.

Suzaku: Did Lulu just let fall a block of ceramic?

Thoughts:
lol @ Suzaku and using overwhelming military power. He's such a brute, srsly. And is it just me or is Gino just Orange-kun with hair flipped the other way? lols.
Seems V.V. is working solely for Britannia. Laem shota is laem. Blackmail of Viletta will be interesting. Don't know how much use she'll be of, though.
Yeah, nobody really cared about anything before the last 5 minutes of this episode, though. We all knew it was coming, but ha, what a twist. Sunrise turns a filler into a zomgwtf episode. Excellent.
