For this episode, it introduces the relationship and support one party has for the other. For example, the relationship Rider and his master shares is that of trust and promise; Kiritsugu and Irisviel, on the other hand, share a rapport which we would like to call commitment to one's duty; Tokiomi and the head of the church share a relationship that clearly shows the urge to win by using all means necessary. The first half practically talked about that. The second half was instigated by the intrusion of the Servant Caster into Saber's territory and from this scene, we could see the fatality of the previous fights with Lancer. I like the fact that the creators did not simply create a miracle where Saber could defeat Caster when inflicted with a curse. This gave the show a bit more realism.
While Saber was fighting against Caster, her master was fighting against someone who should have been dead but isn't. This was quite a good contrast as it shows how Servants' battles differed from Masters' battles. Overall, this episode was quite entertaining and at the some time, built up on what we could expect to see from each Servant and Master.
