As Galatea continues to monitor the situation, Miria reveals her hypothesis about being betrayed by the Organization. It is revealed that all of them have been trouble-makers and have come back from the brink of Awakening. For Miria, it happened when she realized that the Organization had sent her to cut down her buddy Hilda. Fortunately, Miria was shy about Awakening in front of that bitch Ophelia; some people can only Awaken in private if you know what I mean.

Devene still has a hole in her stomach, and decides to gamble on taking it to the limit in order to fix her stomach. Deneve’s experiment is successful, as she takes it to the genkai and comes back to her human senses. Miria tells everyone to keep it on the down low, and not cause trouble; secretly they will investigate further. In the meantime, Miria informs everyone that only numbers 1-5 really need to be feared. However, Ophelia (#4) is to be avoided at all cost, because she is a psycho teamkilling biatch. Miria draws the symbols of the top 5, so that the Helen, Clare, and Deneve can recognize a threat by staring at the breasts collarbones of other Claymore.

This was one of those episodes where one character just hands out information and chats the whole episode. Still, we do find out the following ranks:

1. Alicia
2. Beth
3. Galatea
4. Ophelia
5. Rafaela

Miria herself alludes to a large gap between her power as #6 and Rafaela’s power at #5. Considering that Miria has half-Awakened, this is a fearsome forecast.

It’s interesting that Galatea has a bit of a disobedient side as well. She doesn’t have any qualms about hiding the true range of her yoki-sensing, or lying to her Collector about what she has learned. While Claire is able to go through her raw access logs and detect Galatea’s intrusion, it’s clear that Galatea is quite powerful.
