Getting Back To The Beginnings Awesome Roots

Very well paced episode.

SPOILERS AHEAD. Review but more so recap.
You've been warned.

We start out with fire just running rampantly. Then cut to Xing'Er and Yu Wen Yue AKA Iceman sleeping in the catacombs underneath the store. Iceman is terribly sick with his chilling cold and makes Xing'Er very worried.

Obviously Liang princess is trying to form a new alliance with of course Psycho. Sigh.

Xing'Er is taking care of Iceman who is basically KO'ed. Then a delightful chat about lack of trust happens between Xing'Er and the shopkeeper.

Liang princess + her female attendant go through the tunnels that Psycho had told them to use. She got a weird feeling, and went back.

Back to the catacombs. Shopkeeper notices Xing'Er's family heirloom, and try's to acquire it during a barter for his wares. Xing'Er did not play ball. Instead she turned the tails of information query on him, and he gave her more than he planned. She did however inform him that she has amnesia. Well who would have thought our wonderful random shopkeeper also has talent in the ways of hypnosis and regaining forgotten memories.

High pitched princess has yet again commandeered Yan Xun AKA Nice blue man. Drinking and having a fun time. Of course she takes it farther, and tries to keep nice blue man in her home country. STILL not realizing its unsafe for him to stay there.

He plays drunk as to change the subject. Only to be interrupted, and lectured by the consort of the emperor.
I feel like I'll be seeing her more often, so I'll try and come up with a distinctive name to call her. Consort Gold for now. Her ornaments are always as such.

Xing'Er asks for a map of psycho grandpa's place, and he said he has it. He would give it to her in return for her undergoing his treatment to recover all the memories she has lost. When Xing'Er is undergoing the hypnotizing of the shopkeeper; we can truly see her regaining some memories. We as viewers are actually fully getting the picture of her mom. The flashbacks put together well to give us some answers and introduce more structure into her past.

Oh my happiness. The action sequences are fantastically done in this episode. Right when we are getting to the best part of the flashbacks BAM they get stopped by a sword. Iceman has awoken to put an end to the treatment. The shopkeeper was pushing her really hard... so it makes sense. Xing'Er and Iceman are now double teaming the shopkeeper in order to set themselves free.

Just saying.. of course, they overcome one obstacle have less than a minute of peace than are attacked by a large group of warriors. Its Liang princess's male aid AKA beautiful lord who is leading the attack. The two are now fighting side by side, moving as one with great teamwork + chemistry.

This episode was very good. Not too much of the politics that has been filling the previous episodes.
Yet it showcased them growing even closer as partners. I look forward to even more.
