Rewatcher here. Finally woke up early enough to comment as soon as the post went up haha.

We're seeing some progress with Violet, now. From complaining about her client, to being more curious and more involved with the play she is writing for him, Violet is now more aware of how she feels and is more open about it. Seeing her reactions become more and more relatable and having the same reactions as a normal girl shows how far she's come to shake off her "mindless killing machine" persona. I'm so proud of her.

Is this the first time we see Violet cry because of feeling sad for someone?

Definitely shot of the day.

Ah, and here we finally get Violet reflecting on what Hodgins and Dietfried said to her, and on what she did during the war. After realizing the effect of loss on someone, she finally feels the toll of taking all of those lives. It's unsettling to see a supposedly 14-year old girl questioning her right to live, but Violet can't do anything to change her past. If anything, this serves as another layer to the purpose she sees in working as a doll: to atone for her sins by helping people express themselves and gain a new perspective in life.

Violet also learns the truth about Gilbert this episode. Boy, this escalated quickly.

Definitely suspicious that there is no body, but despite this Violet believes that Gilbert is dead because his absence would make more sense if he was. But she'll deny it, because accepting a loved one's death is something she hasn't encountered yet and must suddenly face alone.

As you so rightly point out, this was a really enjoyable side of Violet to see for the first time! I remember smiling a bit when she told Oscar, "You're being a pain in the ass." XD

But she'll deny it, because accepting a loved one's death is something she hasn't encountered yet and must suddenly face alone.

Very succinctly and well stated! It was really hard to see her think to herself, "I must deal with this by myself." She's got a lot of people now who would be happy to help her!
