This episode continues off from the previous episode with the new transfer student who looks like Hecate. Shana quickly summons forth a Fuzetsu to freeze up the area to get a better look at this look-a-like that goes by the name of Konoe. Though the real Hecate would not have been frozen in the Fuzetsu, Konoe actually is frozen. Shana pulls her sword out and is not ready to let her guard down. Konoe is assigned a seat in the back, but stops at the desk next to Yuji. The more you look at it, the more it would appear that this girl is more than meets the eye. Her unfamiliarity with public school life gives Yuji no choice but to help her out, which churns the wheels of jealousy with Shana.

At Margery Daw’s place, she detects a Tomogara nearby. She’s not worried though as she points out there are three Flame Hazes in town. Even Yuji is able to detect the Tomogara, but Shana’s not worried either. She’s more concerned with the apparent Hecate doppelganger. Yuji decides to get help from Margery to see what she thinks about Konoe. Margery gets to the campus and casts a spell at her, but it goes unnoticed by Konoe. That’s good enough for Margery to assume that Konoe is human.

After school, Shana and Yuji are still discussing what to do. Yuji also notices that Shana is radiating a lot of her power and he fears the Tomogara will notice it. Shana suddenly tells Yuji to go home as she heads off elsewhere. We find that Shana is off to meet up with Konoe in an isolated area. She casts another Fuzetsu and the Tomogara appears immediately.

Turns out this Tomogara is new and rather weak. He’s no match for Shana. To heal his injuries, he targets the frozen Konoe for energy. Yuji catches up with Shana and tries to save Konoe before her existence is eaten up. Shana blocks him to see how Konoe would react. She doesn’t do anything and Shana kills the Tomogara. This was to test whether or not this Hecate look-a-like is really human, which in the end, shown that she is indeed human. Back at Bal Masque, they hint that something shady was done.

I don’t even know what to make of this episode. My only comment is that if it were up to me, I would have just obliterated the look-a-like. End of all the speculations and the unknown factors. But since it’s a show and one can’t just go and kill those not proven to be guilty, by default they have to wait until they know for sure what’s going on. There’s obviously a reason for all of this happening. If I were to guess, I’d say this Konoe is some kind of instrument to get close to Shana and others before finally making an attack. That’s how I see it. Otherwise, it would be a pretty weak attempt at making this “action” anime into nothing but a harem romance show. >_<
