-I didn't even know Eureka could ref board. Apparently, she's really good at it too.

-Ray grabbed her stomach before she said that Charles knows what she wants. That motion itself seemed pretty sinister to me. I have no idea at this point what that means, but it has a lot to do with Eureka apparently. Eureka 7's animation is really great because a lot of things are tucked away in tiny animation details, instead of cyptic dialogue here and there. (I also liked the way Talho was messing around with her hair before they moved in to attack, it was a really natural motion, something subtle that you usually don't see.) That's why this is so far one of the greatest series I've ever watched in my decade or so of anime watching.

-The last 26 eps are, if you think about it, all build up. Now we get to the parts of the series where things really get messy. Charles and Ray after...whatever she's after, Dewey and Anemone, the mystery of Renton's sister, and somehow the cause of everything...Adrock Thurston.

Even if Renton is starting to turn really soft, we still can't forget all the weird shit that hasn't been addressed since it first appeared.

After the time Renton launched off the Seven Swell, (what appears to be the polar opposite to whatever the two of them did this time), an expeditionary team went into the space around it, where a Corelian would later form. They were slaughtered by what I can only assume were LFO's using solidified Trappar as weapons.

I can only assume that Renton may be forced back into mortal struggles sooner than he would like.

Also, with an LFO as powerful as the Nirvash, which apparently possesses total dominance over all LFO's, KLF's anything Trappar related (Seven Swell and the new one that even peels off reflection film i.e. Skyfish skin) fighting may not even be necessary. There's an old samurai saying that details among the strongest samurai, a fight's outcome would be determined before it even began, and going through with the fight is really only a waste of one of their lives. With Renton and Eureka both in it, the Nirvash appears to be totally dominant over everything. Why bother killing when you know you have the power to kill anything at anytime?
