Well shit.

Either they think Robin is a traitor or something bad is going on in the STNJ leadership.
And Amon seems to be playing the loyal lackey.

Amon could probably kick the living crap outta of that dude, just saying.

Interesting developments.

I have a feeling that the boss just wants Robin dead because she's a witch D: didn't they say it happened to another one of their team member? Looks like Amon was supposed to have killed her in that witch hunt they supposedly failed with, but he couldn't...I think? It seemed like there were a few times where we see the silhouette of someone, and it looks like Amon's. Poor Touko getting stuck into this mess. I find it weird that they want Robin dead, using those witch bullets, when she's been a good team member, and they always try to catch witches alive. Unless they kill them afterwards then nvm.

Well . . . It would appear that Robin is going to be hunted, although I have no idea why she is so safe at the STN-J hq . . . I mean they obviously don't know that is who is trying to kill her, but you would think that that would be the perfect place to kill her.

And so it begins...

Looks like their boss knows Touko. Seems like having Robin stay with Touko and Amon partnering up with her was all planned.

I don't understand though.Why attack Robin now? Weren't they aware of the fact that she was a 'craft user' since the moment she arrived? Why are they trying to get rid of Robin now? Is it that they believe she's no longer useful to the organization? I have no clue what's going on.Also

Agreed.Why is Amon lying there taking crap from that guy,unless he has something over Amon.

Edit:Also why didn't those bullets harm Robin.I specifically remember one getting through her fire wall defence.I got the impression that it hit her because the impact of the bullet threw her back,so how did she evade those anti-witch bullets unharmed?

And now shit hits the fan. Amon and the boss seem to be plotting this attack and yet Amon didn't follow through.

they're maybe scared of her power or something like that

This has been the most interesting and puzzling episode so far. Really enjoyed it.
Unfair they use witches for their dirty work and then dispose of them like they are nothing even though they did what they were told to do.

Someone attacked Robin.
I thought that Amon was the one who did it, but seeing how the episode ended I'm starting to doubt it.

Magic circles can be destroyed pretty easily, huh.

Touko is probably the director's daughter (that's why he seemed worried about her).

The hunter became the hunted, and the footage with Touko might be used to frame Robin for some crime. Hmm.

Now that I look at it, the runes in the episode preview backgrounds are the runes of Andred, the same as the ones inscribed on the anti-Witch bullets. Interesting detail. I wonder how they work. It seems like they disable but don't penetrate. Though the effects on Touko seemed more severe. Also...what if Touko knew what was going to happen? She closed the curtains shortly before the assault and...who drew the circle? Is she a Craft user too? Another thing: her shoes were inside the house when Robin went to the bathroom, but I saw no signs of Touko actually being there. Suspicious. Maybe she was just sleeping though.

Something happened between Amon and Miho ~5 years ago. Taking notes. She tried to deflect Doujima's question by shifting to the bullet, I guess? Or was it tied to the event in question?

P.S. The team was talking in close proximity to "sleeping" Robin. Well, maybe they didn't really want to keep their conversation a secret from her.

Something's definitely not right here. If they deemed her dangerous they should take her down like they did with all the other witches in other words capturing her. They were supposed to be against killing. And on top of that they endanger the lives of innocent civilians. The director is definitely hiding something and maybe he's afraid the HQ will find out.

Shit is getting serious, though the exact details are still fuzzy. Presumably all "craft-users" would be witches. So it makes little sense to have craft-users in your ranks if you're only going to turn around and kill them. So then, what specifically about Robin is making her a target? She doesn't seem insubordinate or dangerous.

I thought Amon was actively working to take out Robin, but it looks like he's actually disobeying orders. So, I'm guessing to prevent another "Kate" incident it's going to be a team effort to protect Robin. But, from the looks of the episode preview, Robin might be going it alone finally.

I guess Robin is being attacked now because she started displaying signs of enjoying her work, or even killing the criminal witches the STN-J were hunting. She wasn't supposed to incinerate the guy with crushing powers, after all.

Finally, a really dramatic and suspenseful episode, with the first hints of some much-awaited payoff. Robin is finally the target of the hunt, either by the STN or some other organisation. Zaizen appears to be the true antagonist and behind the attempt to kill Robin. Amon... appears to be his henchman, at least on paper, but is ambivalent about obeying his orders. So I wonder - are we going to see Robin as a lone wolf or with the other sympathetic STN characters , and will Amon side with or against Robin for the next arc?
