What happens

Full summary

The alliance makes camp in the snow. Jean, Connie, Mikasa, Armin, Reiner, Annie, Pieck, Gabi and Falco sit around the same fire, with a mountain of dead between them.

What follows is not a reconciliation but a reckoning: each of them sets out what they have done, and only once it is all on the table can they fight together.

Why this episode matters

Many viewers call this the best episode of season 4, precisely because there is almost no action in it. The series takes its time to show that working together is not the same as forgiving.
