I absolutely love this episode, especially when Jinx is talking to Silco's chair realizing she's really on her own now and is no longer a kid. Man...what a brillant character.

That whole ending sequence of this episode altered my brain chemistry.

Very cool show-not-tell from Arcane once again during Ambessa’s dialogue with Caitlyn, as she tells her about the “enemy” out there she is literally stoking the fire, which can be read as her lighting the fire under Caitlyn to further cement her “hate” for Jinx, but also her lighting her own fire to continue giving herself strength to chase the enemy, the threat to her family out there, despite being so tired.

If you haven't already, I highly suggest you watch the music video Blood, Sweat, and Tears that's the "intro" for Ambessa as a LoL champion. It's animated by Fortiche as well, and has no spoilers at this point. I think you'll love the insights it provides Ambessa's inner feelings and potentially a bit of her past (how much of it can be taken as 1:1 canon is up for debate, but still, the visual symbolism is a feast)

My favorite little animation touch in that scene is the way Silco's chair moves - if you watch Jinx's body language carefully, you can see that it's always teed precisely to her (offscreen) leg movements. Someone at Fortiche went through the trouble of animating Jinx's entire body throughout the scene, even though only her upper body is visible on screen, just so that her movements would be perfectly synchronized with the motion of Silco's chair. As a result, the movement of the chair is almost lifelike in how it reacts to Jinx's own. Almost like a dance between Jinx and the ghost of her father. ("Always a dance with you...")
