KNEEL BEFORE THE WICKED KING!
I dunno, I think the episode with Arthur stealing the mask is sorta important in that it finally shows us that Suzaku and Lelouch can easily work together if they need to. So it kinda starts setting things up for when Mao turns up ruining everything and when they do it out of necessity when that random guy returns with the Chinese near the end of S1.

It also shows Charles twisting Clovis' death into Britannian propaganda which is a supremely lovely thing to do. His entire spiel about "man is not made equal" is a remarkably interesting ideological perspective and gives us insight into Charles as a person rather than a nebulous spectre who Lelouch wants rid of.

Mortal; V.V. died from being shot around the same time as Charles took his code. The loss of the code in itself didn't kill him.

R2 is a magical experience, and I wish I could go through it for the first time again. Phobophilia, please keep posting about it as you watch.
