I love that, absent the obligatory braindead morons in charge of several institutions, there are a lot of big brained people involved in the story. Touka is the smartest edgelord protag I've ever seen; he understands his limitations and plans around them, unlike, say, Cid Kagenou who just leans on his plot armor. Alion is a master manipulator, and quite likely not nearly as personally powerful as she's led others to believe. The Ashint leader took a perfect opportunity and crafted an unbeatable narrative out of it to advance his standing. Nyantan is coming across as a very shrewd 'work within the system until the opportunity arises to destroy that system' character, whose little sister is either dead (directly or indirectly because of Alion) or a hostage against her cooperation. Even Civit Gartland wasn't an idiot, he and his squad just got caught by something he had little chance of foreseeing. The class heading into the forest is setting up the reckoning for the vast majority of them that they all richly deserve, but likely won't happen before the s season ends, sadly. Going to be interesting to see who survives other than Sogou and maybe the Takao sisters and/or the grope victim from a couple episodes back.

Arguably my favorite show this season... keeps getting better and better

I like the dynamic between them and how it develops, starting from that first paralyze back at the start until to this episode now.

Touka mentions in the Light Novel that he could put himself to sleep with Sleep, but he doesn't because he can't stop the spell by himself and nobody can wake him up from his sleep. For a cautious person like him, it would be incredibly dangerous.
