In order to accomplish what he desires, Lelouch took on an alter ego. When you combine that with the way he has been portrayed in the previous episodes, it really makes me wonder who the real villain is. I’m hoping for lots of interesting twists down the line. Suzaku revealed his intentions by staying with the empire. As great as it would be if it worked, there’s little to no chance of it succeeding. At least with the way things appear right now Suzaku’s plan seems futile. There’s no doubt his actions will conflict with Lelouch’s plans at least once. Everything was starting to come together until the final scene where a whole new layer of complexity was added. They picked the perfect time to end the episode. It left us hanging and wanting to find out more.
