This episode was heartwarming, chaotic and funny at the same time. It shows a nice portrayal of how complex one's personality can get by showing many different sides to Sucy's personality.
I enjoyed the film showing scene, seeing her portrayal of Diana really shows a side of her character that she really never got a chance to show outside of her head. Not to mention her portrayal of Akko shows that while she loves messing with her, she does at the very least value their friendship, as made apparent by the transition from an old cartoon theme to a detailed manga art style.
However, what really impresses me is how Trigger (the studio that created LWA) did the courtroom scene, it shows that there are many thoughts and ideas people have, only to sweep them aside later on. This is coming from a person who is getting rather tired of the whole "be yourself" message, while I think it's good relationship advice, some take it to the point where the make it look like "yourself" is suddenly a good thing, as if they are some kind of mind reader. This makes me glad to see Sucy killing her own potential thoughts and personalities being portrayed as a justice system rather than some negative force that drags you down (though some may view those two as the same).
The cream of the crop of this episode in my opinion comes from its climax, the seemingly innocent Sucy that Akko freed turns into be a freakish, humanoid kaiju that's wrecking havoc inside Sucy's head. This leads to a humorous play on Disney's Sleeping Beauty. Akko, unaware of which potion is the antidote that will wake Sucy, mixes all of the potions in her mouth and attempts mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. While doing so she acknowledges that this may be Sucy's first kiss. Sucy then realizes that Akko is about to kiss her, causing her to immediately get up and slam Akko's face on the bed. The comedic timing of these events was just golden.
There are various other moments that I enjoyed like various lines from Devil Sucy, Sucy stating that she won't need to talk to any other people with her potion (Netflix English Dub), Akko questioning which Sucy was the Devil, the dragon just sitting there during the "kiss" and much more.
I don't know what to think of the ending. They purposefully try to confuse the audience by making it unclear on whether or not it's just a dream. I would've preferred a clear answer but this does not really bother me much.
There are probably a lot of small moments I liked that I left off, listing ever single thing I like would take a lot longer than I'd like, so I'd just end the review with this: this is easily my favorite episode of Little Witch Academia and I happily award this episode a 10/10.
