Romeo x Juliet 4

[joiedecombat]

This episode: so contrived, omg. But adorable enough that I don't mind. I am disappointed at how thoroughly they dashed my hopes of Romeo having a clue, though; he met Juliet-as-Odin and didn't recognize her as either Juliet or the Red Whirlwind, apparently. Fortunately for him, his horse knew better! Hee hee, Cielo.

I was also wrong about the priest not being the one to rat out the doctor, oops.

So, predictable and contrived and I hope they don't make a habit of this, but for one episode, I'll overlook it in the name of cuteness and Romeo's sudden heroic protective impulse when Juliet started to fall, aww. That he's also a good-hearted idealist who doesn't like his family and wants to do what's right for the city is - well, we already knew, but I still heart him.
