Soukou no Strain Ep. 9

Summary:
Lotti is having flashbacks of her brother before he was killed by Ralph. She then gets pissed after looking at a picture with Sara in it and breaks it. Sara is busy being interrogated while the others are doing their own thing to cope with Carris’ death in the last episode. Back to Lotti who is continuing to trash her room and then manages to spot a gun. Over at the Deague ship that Ralph is stationed on, another sample is mentioned to be on the ship that Sara is on. Ralph is in his room holding a document and then suddenly starts to cough up a lot of blood.

Meanwhile, Lotti is making her way towards Sara’s quarters with the gun she discovered earlier. After making into Sara’s room (she was allowed) she begins to talk about how Ralph killed Carris and her brother. She then starts to blame Sara for everyone that has died at Ralph’s hands. Sara then goes off into her own flashbacks of Ralph while telling Lotti about his past self. After hearing Sara’s words, Lotti then remembers more things about her own brother. The episode then closes with Sara delcaring that because she is the one that loves Ralph, her brother, the most that she must be the one to kill him and Lotti then promptly removes the gun she’d been pointing at Sara at the enter time.

Impressions/Thoughts:
Somehow I knew Lotti was going to act very stupid and irrational in this episode. However, it’s a good thing that she realized what she was doing and stopped. Much of the episode had to deal with interrogating Sara though, which I thought was going to bring back those bullying episodes of the past. I’m not at all sure if Sara is cleared of her so-called “spy” label as yet but I do hope to see her in action in some way in the next episode. However, that doesn’t seem to be very likely given the preview images.
Oh, and new ED!
