Ah, the opening sequence is so much better with Sebastian and Ciel in it. Unfortunately, the Claude and Alois are in there as well. I really do not like Alois. I'm confused as to where these episodes will fit into the timeline. Did Sebastian stop short of eating Ciel's soul? Somehow I think they're going to throw a curve ball at us later in the season. Anyway ...
The episode starts out with Ciel waking up in a boat with Elizabeth and Sebastian. Maylene, Bard, and Finnian are in another boat close by.
Ciel has to dedicate a new floodgate and socialize with the elite for a while. He hates this, of course. Then Elizabeth says that she wants to go look for the mysterious phantom deer.
While they are searching, it starts to rain very hard. The river gets rough and it looks like there's going to be a flood. Elizabeth gets stranded on the boat. Ciel orders Sebastian to stop the flood while he goes to save Elizabeth. In the process, they almost drown.
When everyone has recovered, they climb to the top of a hill to see the white deer as a rock formation (I think). Elizabeth wanted to find it because the legend says that anyone who sees the phantom deer will have happiness in their lives. Good episode. Cute and funny, with a little bit of suspense.
The ending sequence is very simple, but the image of Ciel is nice and peaceful. Something he doesn't get very often.
