Dongfang Qingcang's turning point

This episode is the first time Dongfang Qingcang actually realizes that his emotions are coming back and that Xiaolanhua's gestures and companionship are affecting him. We get to see how DFQC lost his emotion and how he regains it back. This is also the time when DFQC's familial relationships are mended and he realizes that gaining his emotions might mean losing his power.

He gave up his emotions to be the most powerful being in the 3 realms

You gotta love this episode because it gives us an insight on the backstory of the Moon tribe people and the relationship of Dongfang Qingcang with his family. Before this, Xiaolanhua did not judge the moon tribe people because she's open minded, but in this episode she learns more about the moon tribe and their side of the story. She realizes that the fairy realm might not be telling the whole of the story. She gets more convinced that she needs to help DFQC retrieve his emotions.

Testing out the waters

I love this episode because this is where Dongfang Qingcang and Xiaolanhua first tried to test their affection for each other. Jieli and Shangque are the best side kicks because they're trying to help their friends be more romantic.

You don't have to be powerful to be a hero

I think people who hate "weak/childish" characters should watch and internalize the message of this episode. You don't need to be strong, know kung fu, and be smart to be a hero. Sometimes you just need to be brave and do what is right to save those around you. Xiaolanhua decided to be the distraction so the other fairies can escape when she's actually the weakest one among them.

Well established backstory and lore

I love that the show used animation at the start and some voice over to establish the backstory of the universe and the main character, Xiaolanhua. I'm disappointed at people that don't get XLH character background and judge XLH because of her voice.
