Awesome update, and I'm glad how the story with Elaine played out, recent revelations would have been heart to swallow, after she became such a sweet lady.
This felt like at least two regular updates and for many games this would have been three or even four, so that really balances out the long time between episodes.
I will try to not go into particulars so much, that it will actually spoil someone's fun, but if you don't want ANY information about the next episode, better stop reading here. And no I won't put it into actual spoilers, because nothing I write about is surprising IF you played the game up until this point.
Things I particularly liked: The interactions with Jo in the beach house, if the MC isn't also in a relationship with Bella, the romantic dialogue options between Jenna and the MC at the convention (and yes, most of the convention as well, the larp/play was fun, but it did take a bit much of the update, that if the update in general was smaller, I might have not liked it quite as much).
The conversation between Elaine and the MC at the end was fantastic. And I really appreciated the option of how to have sex with her, because while she might have asked for one thing, after a scene like that, that wouldn't be the kind of sex I would have wanted.
The episode was so long that I expected a cliffhanger several times, this went on so long that when the cliffhanger finally came it actually caught me a bit unprepared.
One minor point of criticism. When you have a relationship with both Bella and Jo, and they ask you with whom to spend the night, I didn't like that. The thing is, IF you really want to have a polyamorous relationship, I think that choosing someone over the other like that right at the start, might be the worst option possible.
IF the girls are adamant about not wanting to spend the night all together, I would have at least liked to have the option to sleep alone, rather than prefer one over the other.
