First off: Victor is still staying on as Yuuri’s coach? He outright says as much in the episode.

There are so many posts about how Yuuri is going to be coached when Victor is competing, but Victor outright says he’s still coaching him. 

It is going to be difficult for Victor to try to juggle both, yes. But it’s so Victor, and so Victor for Yuuri, that it’s not surprising. And as much as Yuuri will lean on Victor, I’m sure Victor will lean on Yuuri.

I also got the impression that this season isn’t as much about the results as Victor, as it is the love of the sport. Sure he’s competitive, but hell Yuuri’s got to get that five time world champion streak started as soon as possible or he’ll have to retire before he can complete it. 

Okay so the real meat of this post. I’m going to talk a lot about Victor’s love for Yuuri and how it manifests in this episode, and also a little bit about Yurio’s love for Yuuri.
