This episode left me confused more than anything. It kinda feels like they didn't know how to transition to actually telling the story of Chrysalis so it came out a bit disjointed and rushed + some things were left half-explained. Like, I get what they were trying to do, but they didn't do it well? That's the feeling I get.

It seems they are implying Thetys is the one that wrote that on the page and Ceres just found the diary later and "gave it back", but the whole "the one that wrote the messege is the moon killer" kept bugging me. Even Neptune said that the one that wrote that must know something, but not necessarily be the one who did it, so why is everyone assuming it?! Like, I think the logic thing would be the opposite, everyone thinking they are different people (maybe even that the one of the note is trying to help find the moon killers) to then find out they may be the same.

Also, the fight was a flop. You would think that having Ceres vs Luna and Thetys and then Thetys leaving Luna on his own would at least have some repercussion on the fight itself. Like, wouldn't it be cool if Luna realized he was fighing alone, got distracted because of it, giving Ceres a chance to hit him and then the other moons step in. I'm also confused to how it changed from "Ceres is attaking them" to "Luna is trying to catch Ceres because he thinks he's the moon killer". That whole part didn't made much sense to me.

Then, the little interactions between Earth and the Sun and Saturn and Jupiter felt like they were cut too short? I hope they have a second part later.

I did love how Phobos and Deimos not only called for help, but the way they did it also spread fear (aka they are the gods of fear and dread in Greek mythology so I like when they accidentally or not reference it). I would have liked more of a reaction from the ones they told, tho, especially Earth (knowing that Luna went with them) and Saturn (since the only known victim of the killer is a Saturnian moon).

Also, leave Uranus's diary alone! I'm so disappointed on you, Triton/j. I hope Titania defending Uranus's privacy isn't the only reaction we get to all that's been going on with it (aka, let Uranus react to it too).

And finally, Thetys being A moon killer. I think he may have had a (likely very indirect) part on what happened, but I've got 2 not mutually exclusive interpretations about why he is saying it's him:

He is faking it to protect Saturn, because if he learns his (at least previously) favorite moon is the main moon killer he's going to be devastated.

He feels so guilty about his part he does feel like he is a killer and, even if there's more, he's trying to put the focus on himself to somewhat spare the rest.

Also, whatever it is, Rhea helped getting him caught so the real truth comes out and he stops acting/feeling like that.
