Ep. 20: Intellect and Sensibility
As Diana prepares for her ascension ceremony, which occurs once every few years during a Venus eclipse, she is constrained by Daryl's pet serpents. Meanwhile, Andrew tells Akko that Diana lost her magical abilities during childhood until something rekindled her determination. Akko and Andrew then overhear Daryl talking to her daughters Maril and Merrill Cavendish about her scheme to stop Diana from performing the ceremony. Akko decides to enter the Cavendish shrine and rescue Diana, only to get poisoned by the serpents in the process. Diana takes Akko away for treatment despite being free to carry on with the ceremony, revealing her determination to continue the legacy of Beatrix as a benefactor to humanity. By firmly believing that Diana can still become the head of the family and return to the academy, Akko unlocks the fifth word. This allows them to fly back to the shrine in time. Daryl, Maril and Merrill turn into trees after attempting to disturb the ceremony, but Diana chooses to save them and ultimately misses the ascension. In turn, Diana receives a vision of Beatrix for her compassion. Anna later encourages Diana to pursue her true dreams and return with Akko to Luna Nova.
