Now underway with the game, we witness the opening scene with Terra and the Esper, and venture to Figaro Castle, South Figaro, and the Returner Hideout.  Episode ends after the fight with Ultros and the split into three scenarios.

For those playing along, the next episode (planned for two weeks from now) will cover the three scenarios and the boss fight that follows them.
