I really like that we got to visit the Kingdom of Sweets and we got to learn more about Tarte and how he fits into things. I liked the way the Mushy Bean Forest was messed up and creepy, because that's how fairy tale places are supposed to be. The part where Azukina was the one who released the evil spirit so that Tarte couldn't finish his mission and thus would not have to leave again...that was a miss for me.
Still! On the whole this was a good episode and a nice way to introduce the power-up trinket into the series.
