In the fifth episode titled "First impressions are the most lasting" ("Der erste Eindruck ist der bleibendste"), Chise and Ruth must adjust to college life and encounter new friends and mysterious occurrences.
After Chise returns from her unexpected encounter with Rahab, she begins to settle into college life. She experiences a tense moment with her roommate Lucy, who scolds her for her shyness. As Chise finds her footing in her new surroundings, she meets Jasmine, who informs her about the Webster tragedy, which has influenced Lucy's attitude.
During lunch, Chise and Rian befriend Isaac, a classmate who introduces himself as Zoe's tutor. Zoe, a student with green hair and headphones, seems to avoid Chise. When confronted, Zoe astonishingly transforms into a Gorgon with snakes for hair.
Isaac explains that Gorgons are usually unable to filter sounds or communicate with humans, but Zoe is only half-Gorgon. The group then retreats to the private gardens, where they discuss their unique abilities and backgrounds. Ruth catches Philomela, Rian's second cousin, spying on them, prompting Rian to suggest a contract spell to ensure her silence about Chise and Zoe.
At the end of the episode, Rian confronts Jasmine about revealing the Websters to Chise and reminds her of the responsibility that comes with belonging to a Seven Shields family. Violet comforts his sister and considers the possibility of running away from their family.
The episode strikes a balance between introducing new characters and plotlines, leaving fans eager to learn more about the unfolding mysteries. Although the pacing feels somewhat rushed, each character brings a unique perspective and the potential for captivating story arcs.
