Agreed, when combined with the inclusion of the moonlight boy, the importance of Casca being highlighted and Farnese's significant character development, this episode is the most exciting for a long time. I'm excited to see what the next one brings and if we get even more information regarding the moonlight boy and if he sticks around.
Going back to Elfhelm for one second though. What if the moonlight boy stayed with them this time or showed up during Casca's re-awakening? It makes you wonder what effects it would have if Casca somehow knew through instinct that he was their child (since that seems to be whats happening now), while Guts thought otherwise. It would be a very interesting scenario.
