Episode Notes

 * This episode is based on content from Chapter 47: A Girl in the Grip of Battles Past and Present and Chapter 48: A Promise Made by Those Who Wait.
 * The symbols that appear in the background of this episode's title card are a Purification Array and a simple Transmutation Circle.
 * In the English dub of this episode, Ed refers to Xiao-Mei as a "panda", while in the original story she is mistaken by all Amestrians for a "strange black-and-white cat" due to the complete lack of panda bears in their country. Additionally, characters in subsequent episodes of the dub refer to Xiao-Mei as a cat, making this single point a continuity error.
