Well Clare continues her train and finds herself lacking but Irene has a way for her to progress beyond her limits, and whole arm transplant. Of course Clare is a bit surprised by her generosity and promises to return the arm when she has killed Priscilla. But, a mysterious Claymore with a missing eye is bound and determined to make sure that will not be possible.
Of course after Clare leaves the one eyed chick shows up and Clare practicably runs in to Ophelia who doesn’t quite seem to realize that she has awakened. Ophelia blame Clare for her awakening and decides to eat her guts but is quite surprised by Clare’s new Flash Sword and take some major damage. Ophelia it seem also doesn’t like Priscilla much either as she was the one who killed Ophelia’s brother. After the discovery of their shared dislike Ophelia, in the name of good sportsmanship, proposes a game. If Clare can cut her way through Ophelia’s new snake body to the tail, where she has gathered all her human bits, Ophelia’s will trust her to get Priscilla for the both of them.
So Clare get to work going Ginsu on the snake making it about half way to the end Clare is runs into a bit of a snag when Ophelia’s body fights back. But much to Ophelia’s surprise instead of taking the advantage she encourages Clare not to give up and to keep fighting on. In the end Clare makes it to the end and and ends Ophelia after a little bit of a heart to heart.
We have seen Clare grow again and gain a new skill. Ophelia turns out to be a bit of a emo hero in the end tho. I don’t know why but the soundtrack was a bit more noticeable in this episode then it has been, it really helped the mood of the episode. So next time Clare should be starting on her search for Raki and buy the look of things the origination is going to what happen to the pair they sent off and never heard from again.

Just had a marathon yesterday: saw the 19 episodes currently out. I’m completely hooked on this show. A little bit more skin and the show would rule!!
