Okay, so let's start a pool. What's gonna happen in ep6?

Spoiler for my personal weather forecast:

o Only a brief Homura-Kyoko skirmish, if at all. Homura has no reason to fight Kyoko, and even less reason to avenge Sayaka. Her only priority is to prevent a Madoka panic-contract. Kyoko might try a few swings on Homura, but she's smart enough to back off once she realizes that Homura is no rookie pushover.

o I expect Sayaka's mood to become more sour and aggressive compared to her normal behavior. The preview indicates that she will harbor a grudge against Kyoko and seek revenge. The increased stress and pent-up frustration, along with her massive expenditure of magic in her fights against the familiar and Kyoko will begin to pollute her Soul Gem.

o Likewise, at least in the long run, her desired love with Kamijo is not going to work out. Whether it will be a gradual estrangement with him, or a big bang (Kamijo rejecting her, or Kamijo dying by outside factors) remains to be seen. For this episode, if they go the path of gradual estrangement, I could see their relationship deteriorating, compared to the highlight in ep5.

o Madoka will find herself between a rock and a hard place. She will see that Sayaka is struggling, but she will be unable to really do anything about it. It seems that Sayaka will reject any of Madoka's attempts to make her drop her Kyoko grudge, and she lacks the power to intervene directly. So she'll try to appeal to Homura again. And while I doubt she'll say yes, it might help whacking a chink into her armor.

o Of course QB will know what to do. If I was him, I'd probably run a "working together as 2 MGs would help Sayaka alot" guilt trip ^_^;

Well, let's see.
