Emilico is like a little detective this episode. Kinda cute imo.

I kinda like Shaun and her chemistry this episode. They work together to solve this case while Kate is inside that cage. Emilico is actually more clever than I had thought in this show.

Seeing Lou falling like that gave me a scare. I'm glad she's fine. I'm feeling that Ricky has feelings for her or at least he cares about her to patch her up. Patrick is scared but full of pride as well that he won't be rescued by Emilico. Such a sweetheart she is.

There are some creepy shadows there who wish to eliminate the dolls. At least, Emilico is with Shaun and Lam for now. Sunshine really compliments Emilico and really suits her for how optimistic and cheerful she is. Even John admits that Emilico is cute. But, she was really smart too, the way she figured out where all of them were trapped with just those dot lines on the map. They work together quite nicely.

They're so cute when they work together. Though I really want to see Shadow's real face, particularly in the upper house.

Emilico is getting smarter and smarter, same goes for Rum. Didn't know she was capable of doing such things. And Shaun deciphering the map at the end.
They're an amazing trio, rescue kate asap!

Sunshine really is the perfect nickname for Emilico but luckily the stuff she does becomes quite helpful. Her being nice to Patrick was sweet. The later half with John was amusing and wow who knew Rum would be so amazing.

Well, this incomplete map, more than being orchestrated by the Shadows Family themselves, is a real doozy and a nightmare for both Living Dolls and Shadow masters. This definitely felt like Goblin of Fire levels of maze hoo-dickery.

Thank goodness that Lou is alive after that sudden fall from a cliff, but low-key would've wanted that kiss to happen between her and Ricky.

Detective Sunshine Emilico and her adventures are a real treat this episode, encountering every found Shadow master, meeting Living Dolls among the way (Rum and Shaun), and discerning traps. NGL, this felt like a Pokémon adventure to find their Shadow masters and reconcile with them, without the possibility of ruining them with soot.

John's conversation felt funny though, as is the conversation with Kate over marriage last episode, oh how the heart fonders.

Pretty fun to see the 3 most deemed low-tiered Living Dolls work better and cooperatively, the Shadows Family and Edward must be fuming when they hear this news. Amazing friendship these 3 have, and it's time to save their individual Shadow masters.

Man.. i love the personalities of these shadows.. i originally thought that they were going to be some form of horror element but no.. that's not the case.. even the mastermind Shadows have some degraded form of humor. I wish we had some screen time for Miss Kate..

Wow, they solved the labyrinth (with the hidden hints they found and I guess being on the night shift prepared them for teamwork)...but how about the keys?
Can they turn back, take the keys and distribute them all over the labyrinth in only 50 minutes?

It's a rhetorical question, please give no answer!

Not much really stood out in this episode. It was nice to see Patrick develop to respect Emilico some more and to learn some more about the ways higher shadows manipulate soot.

Something interesting that I noticed was that the higher shadows are not using their faces in this meeting. Maybe they only use them when the House Master can see them.

I liked the puzzles. Also didn't expect Ram to be a silent genius, I had no idea how she would pass but this will be likely the reason then. Is anyone gonna fail at all? Seems questionable at this point. (unless they can't clean John's clothes...)

Lmao at Lou for shutting up Ricky for good with the "is my face hurt" part, that was gold.

Oh, so thats the other Shadows whose controlled the pawn and telling their location above the map, while the other one created a pigeon to sent the message to Edward. Interesting. Rum and Ricky moment. Idk what should i react about them. Well, Lou forehead was indeed shining af, though, glad to had her alright. Shadow Patrick more personality revealed, as Emilico successfully reached his crate position. He looked very dependent to Ricky and sad while he wasn't around, oh well. At least he got some good words to Emilico, and hope you can be found out by Ricky, later on.

Back to the triad dolls, they were solving much riddle along the way together, and cleared out the incomplete map trouble with a great resolution. Everyone seemed capable enough to solved the puzzle, using their brains together, unexpectedly to the Rum case. Orange fruit got a good use, to give them a hint about the elevation of the labyrinth garden. Idk whats the exact deal with the carriage except just to carried out the lot of flowers, oranges, and another idk stuff. Well, maybe its important to carried Shirley from that chair, or even Kate, i dunno.

Well, in short, they finally spotted on the amusing shadow, John, and chose a different path in front of them to saved their own shadow master. So, yeah, hope y'all can make it through the end!

Although it's still (unavoidably!?) shady, things have gotten refreshing since the stage came to the open air maze garden from inside the dark and musty building. Also it feels good to look at character's personalities from favorable angles.

This series has truly kept me hooked and I'm really eager to watch the next episode already. Very fun character interactions and I'm loving the puzzle-solving aspects in the garden labyrinth. Well done.

Emilico remains as bubbly and optimistic as ever. That's what I like about her. :)

As always a good episode, but this maze episodes are giving me anxiety.

I seriously want to know how Kate & Emiilco will pass, now we know that the high-level Shadows that planned their failure.

Emilico just become friends even with the most bothersome of the 5 Shadows. Her personality is a simple spell but quite unbreakable

Really great episode! Severe lack of Kate though. Patrick and Ricky are tsunderes lmao, I thought they were just pure dicks before, but they actually have layers to them. Lou really only just cares about her face for her master, kinda sad that she's not thinking about anything else. She's pretty much the perfect "doll".

Emilico a bundle of sunshine as always, even Patrick is no match. It's really nice to see the 3 friends together and helping each other. And of course Emilico can understand John lmao, they're kind of similar. Didn't expect Rum to be very smart, it's just her introvertedness holding her back. Really looking forward to the next episode and we might find out more about Shirley.

Emilico really manages to remain super wholesome no matter what kind of situation she finds herself in. Her "Sunshine" nickname suits her quite perfectly. All of the character interactions in this episode were fun to watch, and hopefully Emilico and Rum can find their masters soon.

And so continues the twists and turns of the debut. It's starting to become more of a puzzle now as the two groups - Emilico, Rum and Shaun's group and Patrick and Lou - work their way through the open-air labyrinth to try to find and save their masters from confinement without allowing them to dirty their clothes like John has already done. It may have been done by chance, but it was clever to figure out that putting the map near fire would end up showing the elevation of the maze.

Big flags at the end that things will not end well for Shaun and John at all once the debut is over.

Another build up episode for the debut arc. The puzzle part is nice, it shows how Emilico, Rim and Shaun shine on their teamwork and their dynamics as a character. John doing his my pace thing is always good.

The other part about Ricky and Lou is nice as well. Liked the Patrick and Emilico scene. Overall another great episode, to the next episode

Mysterious elements? You mean the labyrinths and mazes hints and clues? They aren't mysterious at all, just all part of their debut obstacles, and I didn't see any super convenient solving, one actions leads to another, it took each of the three's action to lead to the conclusion thus solving them, and these dolls are like extremely conditioned to be worried at their masters hence they're racking up their brains for this even if Emilico might not look the part

The only thing I find convenient was the puzzle keys they got from the cookie, Emilico literally speedrun it ALONE, unlike now it took Shaun, Rum and Emilico's inputs to lead them into a conclusion, so yeah except for that cookies puzzle key, everything else ain't super convenient imo

My impression is that their masters are locked in boxes and cages...also there were keys between the objects "puppets" could pick before entering the labyrinth...my guess is those can unlock said boxes and cages.

Not gonna lie, this episode was actually pretty good. Emilico's super cheerful personality wasn't annoying at all and to my surprise, she and Rum ended up being quite helpful when it came to solve the labyrinth's quests.
Character interactions between our "night shift trio" were also quite nice. Sweet when they were helping each other and pretty amusing once John joined them.

I feel like the episodes keep getting better and better. I'm thinking Patrick has a crush on Emilico but his doll, Ricky has a bit of a crush on Lou. They're all so cute and John must've his his head when he was created by their grandfather.
