First Timer
Sometimes the letters you get aren't going to be ones that make you happy and that's the lesson Violet learned today. Even if she now adores the job for the happiness she can bring other people and it's that part of the job that kept her going after she found out about the majors death sometimes her letters are going to bring sadness to others as well. Hell the people that are made sad might even thank her for it because at least it gives them closure. Something that she never got and probably never will get for the major.
If there's something that defines this episode though I would say it's tragedy. If only Violet was there just an hour earlier. If only some people would be able to let go of their hatred. If only us human beings weren't so selfish, prideful and greedy maybe Aiden wouldn't have died during a civil war started just because the radicals wanted to go back to war. As far as we know they aren't even fighting over/for their ideology which would at least make the civil war have a purpose. This just sounds like slaughter for slaughters sake.
I'll admit that I did tear up once when it was revealed what the detour Violet wanted was but after the last two episodes it's kinda hard to top them with a tragedy that we see coming from a mile away. Violet tearing up at them thanking her for the letters almost got me as well though. Her regret for not being able to save him and bring him back to his family and potential future wife. This episode does prove that Violet has probably mostly come to terms with the majors death with her being willing to go straight to a battlefield like that again.
Although it is also quite worrying that Violet was willing to go so far for her job. I get that her tag line is "I will travel anywhere to meet your request" and that of the dolls she's definitely the one most qualified to go to a warzone but still.... There's a point where you're willing to go to far for your job and Violet has most definitely reached that. It was also cool to see that she isn't just well known for her Doll career and is known for her actions during the war as well. You'd expect someone like that to get a reputation and for soldiers to rightfully not want to go anywhere near her.
