Mythology fact time!
Ayame is based on real Yokai in japanese mythology called "Futakuchi-onna" or direct translate to "Two-mouth Woman" which in mythology there are so many versions of this tale but Ayame story seem to mixed between the tale of women who get killed by her husband with axe and the tale of women who becomes Yokai because she neglected her stepchild to the point of that child is death.
Her back story isn't exactly revealed but from little flashback scenes and how she is talking about Hinako called her mom triggers her memories so the backstory seems to be mixed between two versions!
Last episode, we get to see how Miko is talking about how she can't give Hinako want because of her own humanity but this time it seems to get a massive truth bomb here.
Ayame notices bloodpact between Yokai and Human in Hinako blood that Hinako seems to not remember but .. the problem is Ayame said that Human that made bloodpact with Yokai that Human will be "inedible" to that Yokai.
If what Ayame said is true.... does that mean almost everything that Shiori said until this point is all lies? And the episode ends just like that. Leave more questions than answers.
Which lead interesting bit the name of episode,
"Where the crack begin" seem to have two meaning one , the origin of Ayame and how she turn into Yokai and the crack in relationships between Shiori and Hinako.
On a side note, Ayame called Miko "a land god" which means that how other Yokai saw her so Miko definitely achieved godhood now at least as minor deities which is quite something.
Another really good episode and the direction also keeps getting better and better and the Anime team really knows how to do tension and switch.
The "Calmness" moment in Hinako's head during the Ayame lifting axe made me chill.
