It's not exactly a long shot to say they'll both be long eps from here until the end of Volume 1, Maki. We know that it's 10 chapters, 16 episodes. But I will admit, I'm glad they're going to pull out the stops for the end of the Volume like they said they would. Personally, I'd like to see Roman get involved for those two, as it would bookend Volume 1 nicely.

I'm not sure I quite agree with you as to where I see Cardin at this point. I mean, yeah, he's still a jerkass, and while he did seem willing to eat his humble pie at the end of this ep, for some reason I have a hard time believing this will be the end of the trouble between JNPR and CRDL. The conflict could be used for at least one more mini-arc before really being resolved, but who knows where they plan to take the series next.
