I love how nobody is stupid. Edward? Still tracking Vicky even though the royals told Jeffery that they'd back off and aware of everything she has been up to including the prison break. Jeffery? Fully aware that Vicky's story adds up to her being an AWOL operative but is unsure what to do about it on account of his feelings. Nonna? Observant enough of people's mannerisms to go along with the adoption tryout to smooth things over while also getting out of dodge the moment the six nights were up and things were getting more weird. And of course Vicky for figuring out what was up with Miles and realizing time was up. Poor Jeffery though, Vicky correctly knew that it was time to run but that doesn't help a broken heart.

We're so used to anime characters being dense and taking "I'm a former tomboy" at face value but Jeffrey actually figured everything out...and so did his brother. I'm not surprised that Vicky finally left when she realized the heat was onto her, even if it meant leaving the Captain behind, but did she take Nonna with her when she still has that fever? How aware is Nonna of them basically escaping? She'd pretty much go along with everything Vicky told her, but she'd want to know why at least.

Shouldn't the name then be "Chloe of many faces"? You know, since she probably can't go around using Victoria Sellars anymore. Though now as I think of it, perhaps it could work like she talks about herself as "Victoria," because she has fond memories of being called by that name. But I really like the premise of her running away taking new identities each season. Of course with a certain eligible bachelor looking for her.

Jeffrey got everything about Vicky bang on, from her being a spy to one that's a runaway instead of on an undercover assignment. As expected of a captain. Unfortunately, she decided to burn all the connections she's had with Ashbury*. Poor bloke's got his heart broken again. We'd likely to have him somehow locate and confront her. *Did she really leave everything behind or did she bring Nonna with her. While she's nowhere to be seen when Vicky ran with the horse, it was just Jeffrey's imagery instead of the actual scene. I find it hard to believe Vicky would just leave Nonna behind after all that anguish she felt when Nonna's with the Hansons.

Even Edward figured her out but seemed like he was more open to letting her go for his brothers' sake...but Victoria ends up abandoning him anyways.

I'm really impressed with how perceptive Nonna is. She'd have a real knack for Victoria's lime of work. It makes a lot more sense now why she went along with the plan. I also really appreciate that not a single door or window in Vickys house was left unlocked. It's a nice little detail because Vicky is too cautious to make such an easy mistake Also Jeff and Miles were pretty cool this episode, being there for Victoria when she needed the distraction. Tho Miles is most likely doing it as part of his job keeping an eye on Victoria, he's still pretty cool. He kinda reminds me of The Iron Bull in Dragon Age Inquisition, who also wasn't really hiding that he was a spy and had a similar friendly cool tough guy disposition I really like as well that Jeff figured out not just that Victoria is a spy, but specifically a runaway spy no longer on active duty. Jeff is a smart cookie. I like Jeff, he's a keeper. I feel bad for him tho, this can't be good for his abandonment issues I'm curious how this all will work outside. It makes sense she went on the run as it's clear her cover was falling apart.

I feel bad for those parents, but a kid isn't a doll you can just have over for a few days, unload a lot of emotionial baggage on, and then lock in a room to try and keep. Poor dear, what a terrifying situation. At the end I'm left actually crying, I knew they'd prob have to leave eventually, and that it could happen at any moment, possibly without any goodbyes(I'm so glad they got to through letters at least). And she doesn't know her death was revealed as faked, so it's good she left now. But this sucks, it really really sucks. I really, truly, wanted them to be able to stay there forever 😭. I hope they get to stay at the next place for a long time and make good healthy connections like this again. Oh golly the door closing on the last time she ever saw him, having to keep her usual expressions going.

I made a comment on how moving around too often really isn't good for children in the pre-telephone era. Studies have shown that children are less sociable when moved around compared to children with sedentary families if their parents don't have a landline (this study existed before cell phones). Victoria running away with Nonna is somewhat selfish and arguably bad parenting. The only reason I say "arguably" is a lack of suitable people to look after Nonna after she disappear. As we see the nobles are a bunch of pricks treading Nonna little more than a dress up doll to replace their dead daughter. The mother said they should respect Nonna's wishes and let her decide, but apparently was fine just locking her up. Yeah whatever they were like 6 years ago, by now their personalities are broken. Vicotria disappearing with Nonna is probably the least bad outcome for Nonna among those where she flees. Funny thing is the author missed a chance to give Victoria a dilemma. So say Nonna just decides to leave one night early because it was boring and Baroness what's her name (I'm not making fun, I seriously can't remember) does what she said she would do and let Nonna decide. Well than that laves Vicotria in a pickle when she escapes. In that case the alternative to Victoria who will disappear and uproot Nonna, which as I mentioned is not good for developing children would be two nobles who treat Nonna as a doll but who nevertheless respect her wishes, as opposed to two jerks who don't really care what Nonna wants. Victoria would probably still take Nonna since Nonna gives her something to care for and that would reveal a lot about her. She might even knowledge this to herself.

Vicky, you could have just stopped that kick an inch from his hip. He would have known he lost. That couple sucks. If Noona had gotten injured escaping it would have been 100% their fault. The animation on her rolling after the drop was adorable though. I love shows where so many characters think about what's going on and act accordingly. He didn't know she was so close to bailing, so it was a reasonable choice, but I wonder if Jeff is kicking himself over not having that conversation with Vicky.

How is Victoria handling Nonna leaving? Not well! Just...wandering aimlessly, wet from the rain, as if her reason for being has been ripped away from her. At least Jeffrey is there to reassure her that Nonna will come back. Intellectually, Victoria realizes Nonna didn't really ditch her without a plan in mind, but all the same...she's still a mom thinking her daughter might be better off with nobles than with her. But Jeffrey knows that Nonna wants to be with Vicky, and Victoria should understand that. Even so, it's good that she has Jeffrey with her now. No better way to vent frustrations than beating up Miles during a sparring session, huh Victoria? Be mindful you're not abusing the elderly. "If it were me, I would never let Nonna go!" - Dang Clark, that's practically a proposal! I'm not surprised Victoria is ready for a break-in but lo and behold the person breaking in is...Nonna! Having escaped from the Baron with the skills she got from Vicky! Skills she's also used to beat up Clark. Yeahhhhh....the moment they put on a lock on her room, were calling her the name of her dead daughter, and got REALLY weird around her, was probably the time for Nonna to get out of there. I get it, they never got over their daughters' death, Eva feels guilty because her son survived and theirs didn't, but trying to turn Nonna into Dolores isn't the answer. At least they don't make a fuss about dragging Nonna back, rather than just giving her all the stuff they intended for Dolores. Nonna doesn't care, but it makes Vicky think about her own parents. Miles isn't just some friendly old dude, he's there to spy on Victoria! Of course a spy would notice too many coincidences in him showing up and interacting with her the way he did. Ha! Nonna wants them to move in with Jeff. Jeff wants to introduce her to his mom! On some level Victoria wants it too...but she knows they can't, because the heat is on and she never intended to stay there. Jeffrey's not dumb, he's put two-and-two together that Victoria is likely an ex-spy from a rival kingdom, but he would still be willing to throw his noble title away if it meant being with her. His brother, on the other hand, is with the Third Order of Knights and has also pretty much put two-and-two together about Victoria (and that she's likely the redhead behind the prison break) but he's torn between his duty to the kingdom and his love for Jeffrey as a brother. I knew the moment she took that horse she wasn't coming back...and she left a bunch of letters behind to all her close associates. Poor Jeffrey gets Dear John'd AND has to deliver the letters to everyone else who will miss Victoria and can't believe she's gone. She and Nonna are gone and now Jeffrey has to pick up the pieces of losing yet ANOTHER woman he loved.

... Intellectually, Victoria realizes Nonna didn't really ditch her without a plan in mind, but all the same...she's still a mom thinking her daughter might be better off with nobles than with her. So, what was Nonna's plan the Vicky and you alluded to? Just stay for 6 days and leave or something else that never got mentioned? Also, why was the noblewoman so adamant that Vicky and Nonna not go back to the Baron's house? Are they even more suss than her subsequent story suggested?

Right, but if she knows they are suss, maybe she should have told Vicky this at the beginning, before standing by and saying nothing because she felt sorry for them because she felt sorry for them over something she had no control over. You know, kinda "they're good people aside from kidnapping and delusional behavior." (If you want to give someone a good example of a "run on sentence" please refer to above)
