I remember seeing someone commenting that Gojo's shadow projecting over Megumi looked like Megumi when she was older.
And it reminded me of that scene from the first season, when Megumi just stopped holding back and decided to really fight to win. Kind of like a wake up call?
That scene is so good, but I feel like Megumi regressed a bit afterward? Well, just thinking.

Quahaug Concept Art
Quahaug's concept/reference art! Translation notes and image id under the cut.
Translation notes:
"OP sort of powerset" was literally translated as something like "cheat-like." I feel like OP is the more common English term for that sort of thing, so that's what I used, but some of the meaning was probably lost there.
"Older-tween-ish" was specifically a reference to a particular middle school year for children who are about 12-13 years old. Since grades and names of grades vary a lot from country to country, I just went with "older tween."
ID:
[Image id: Several images displaying different parts of 2 pages of the Triangle Strategy artbook, with both the original Japanese as well as versions with English translations. There are several disclaimers noting that the translator doesn't speak Japanese, and that there are likely many mistakes.
On one page, there is a large colored version of Quahaug's canon portrait, along with a smaller, uncolored version. There is an illustrator's note at the bottom that translates to read, "'Manipulating time' is an OP sort of powerset, so though he looks like a child, I aimed to create a look for him that conveyed a sense of unknowable power. (Tatsuaki Urushibara)".
On the second page, there are many drawings of Quahaug, including a closer bust-up portrait in which he's compared to Lyla, with an arrow and label reading, "Mother." There's also several notes that explain the construction of his costume. The costume is labeled as a Greek "phelonion" (a priest's outfit with no real sleeves, just draping fabric). There is a small drawing of this version, with an arrow leading to another drawing that does have sleeves, with the note, "If you can't
display this in pixels, use this one." There are several notes that explain how this draping cloth should be considered his everyday clothes, while the ceremonial decoration that goes around his neck is placed over it. There is a close up of the ceremonial dressing's fastenings underneath the metal decoration. Some more notes highlight details on his staff, emphasizing the hourglass on top and the small wheel to the side that can be turned to flip the hourglass. A larger piece of text underneath one fullbody drawing reads, "Character Who Manipulates Time."
On the second half of the second page, there are drawings of some beta designs for Quahaug. He looks much more punk-ish. On one bust-up portrait, there are the captions, "The burden of the time demon caused some of his hair to go gray…." and "All-natural highlighted tips." On the same portrait, he is snapping his fingers, and there's a note that reads, "Manipulating time is as easy as snapping your fingers. You just have to want it or whatever." A speech bubble near his head reads, "I don't think of Anna as a mother." A caption pointing to some green markings on his arm reads, "Demonic time seal on body." In a fullbody drawing of his beta design (which is made up mostly of chains that barely cover him as well as a long roughed-up cloak, there is the note, "Almost naked cloak."
At the bottom of the second page, there is another note that reads, "Initially when we hadn't quite figured out the setting, we had an idea for a more older-tween-ish character as displayed here, but after discussing it with the producers and Mr. Ikushima, we went with his current form. As a boy who manipulates time, I placed an hourglass at the tip of his staff, and his face resembles that of his mother, Lyla. (Tatsuaki Irushibara)". /end id]

I’m kinda wondering if there’s gonna be some sort of little jump between this last episode and tomorrow night’s. Maya said that if she didn’t get her shot her eggs wouldn’t be mature enough to be retrieved within the 36 hour window, which I’m taking as the retrival would be in a few days. If that’s the case, 7x08 would be either implantation for Carina or she’s already pregnant (since we know that one person is gonna be there). I hope it would be the former and the writers wouldn’t deprive us of them finding out but who knows.
I think we're going to see some sort of the process happening in tomorrow's episode so I would be surprised if she's already pregnant. I'm really hoping we get to see that moment because it would be such a missed opportunity, especially since we are getting to finally see them lead up to that point the right way this time. But part of me was hoping once we started seeing stuff about the wildfire call and how Maya is potentially going to be in danger that Carina actually would be pregnant by then because that would make the potential angst so much better. I really don't think we're going to find out she's pregnant until the finale though...but maybe I'm wrong. I just hope we do get to see that moment, also because we are going to be robbed of seeing Carina with a bump and the cuteness that would entail too. :(
