The first half of this episode is a long tumble down a steep hill for Oreki, as his movie theory is countered blow by blow by each of his friends. Well, it turns out Oreki isn’t that special after all. Oreki was ready to be special, and by the end of the last episode, it seemed like he was even beginning to like the taste of it. Being special means you’re responsible – being special means you can find the truth. But Irisu insistently told him he was special, and for once, Oreki seemed willing to accept that weight. And it’s very likely Oreki didn’t believe it himself, and was simply saying the thing that was convenient, the path of fewest consequences. When Oreki claimed he was just lucky, they’d each accept this in their own ways without truly believing it. The whole show had been moving towards his acceptance of his own talents, through Satoshi’s jokes, Mayaka’s frustration, Chitanda’s gentle prodding. Irisu changed something for Oreki last episode.
