My thoughts:
This episode is very interesting because we immediately get a flashback to exactly how the stone world began with Dr. Stone himself in present day. He has actually been we assume killed but it seems as if we’re gonna get another alternative ending based on what happened before this episode starts out very very interesting and should be paid attention to
