Ch211, Spoilers part 3
When will we ever find out if the kids can flood the facility, destroy it in some other way, or even save anymore of the children? Not this month, and probably not for several months to come.
Because we get a cliffhanger, just like at the end of Baldo and Lau's mission. 😭
We return to Lau's Opium den, where their clothes have been repaired and cleaned, so Seb is removing the Chinese outfit he'd borrowed and putting on his usual butler's uniform. Sorry, but there's no fan service for the Seb simps, unless you are into what's not shown... or gloved hands.
Ran-Mao and other ladies from the establishment show up with several boxes of clothes and at least one box with a hat, maybe two. One hat is from Lock & Co. Hatters, on St. James Street, in London. The rest comes from Hopkins, so that means Nina's still helping them.
They need fresh clothes for their upcoming mission to the resort hotel in Brighton. Sebastian goes to his young master's room to get him ready for travel. Our earl asks something about the clothes from Nina. Or about Nina herself.
I don't know what all they say, but Sebastian does point out that the kid's current outfit reeks of opium (which would never do for where they are headed).
So, time to change clothes. I think we've seen scenes like this a few times throughout the series. It's very methodical and almost ritualistic. In a way, for demon and master, it is a sort of ritual, though.
Are his short pants slightly longer now? 🤔
And off they go.
So! It looks like we are going to Brighton next month, after all.
I was right we'd get the kids struggling to reach the river. Anyone who guessed we'd cut to our earl and Sebastian starting their mission was also right.
A whole new scenery next month.
But when will we ever get back to Finny... or Baldo?

The earl and his butler might not have been present for Finny in person…
But they reached out in spirit! Far from pale imitations, these kids are the genuine article. 💙🖤

Ch211, Spoilers part 1
So, for the cover/title art, the top students are literally making a run for it, but I don't see Finny.
Back to how ch210 ends, we see the shooting scene from a different viewpoint, and it's very clear that Finny has been shot in the left shin.
The five kids all go deeper into the water, Finny basically still pushing Oliver along, as the staff get to the edge of the drain. The staff might be talking about how the kids won't get far, but I'm not sure.
They are swimming as best they can but find a grating at the exit to the outside.
Earlier, like a month or two ago, I'd suggested we might see Finny tear down a fence or gate, once they get out of the water. Instead, we might just get him breaking through this grate...
...and that's exactly what we get.
The others go on ahead of Finny, and I'm surprised how well Oliver is swimming through the current, using a hand to cover his mouth and nose. Artie is also holding a hand over his own mouth and his other hand at his throat. Not an easy way to swim!
Finny is losing the battle of holding his breath, but the hole in the drain brings back memories of coming out of the hatch at the drug facility and being taken in by our earl and Sebastian, and Finny presses onward.
Finny reaches out towards the surface and is pulled up by two hands reaching down.
More to come in a moment or so.
