Episode Title:
Memory Snow
Episode Description:
Shortly after the Mabeast incident, Subaru goes the Village, looking for a spot for his date with Emilia, and chooses a hidden flower patch. Over the next days, the weather gets surprisingly colder, forcing the date to be postponed, though Emilia doesn’t appear to be bothered by it. Subaru wakes up the next day to find the mansion frozen over by Puck, currently releasing all of his excess ice magic, with Emilia and Beatrice helping confine it to the mansion. To avoid freezing, Subaru suggests staying outside in the normal weather, but is halted by rain. He fails to find options to stay warm or quickly release the rest of Puck’s magic, and as the ice is turning the rain outside into snow, decides to host a Snow Festival, inviting the villagers to take part in a snow sculpture competition. While everyone has fun with the snow, Subaru tries to convince a recluse Beatrice to join, and eventually succeeds with Puck’s help. Afterwards, the mansion residents celebrate with an afterparty, in which Emilia and Rem get drunk. Subaru talks to Beatrice about the constellations in the stars, revealing he got his name from one of them. While the rest of the group marvel at the snow spirits, Puck releases his remaining magic, sharing the snowfall with the rest of the people in the Capital. As Beatrice heads back inside, Roswaal pokes fun at her for not drinking because of Subaru's request. As the snow melts, Emilia and Puck reflect on Subaru’s wish to host the festival again next year, though wondering if he’ll still be with them then. She then meets Subaru outside as they head to the flower patch for their date.
