I was thinking about your comment, and I think they did similar things in earlier episodes.

One thing is that in the book, Myne in her commoner days was much more disabled than she appears to be in the anime. I remember reading the first LN in the series and wondering how it ever got a second novel, since the first one was essentially about fate repeatedly torturing a severely disabled child to death. Most of that and her efforts were glossed over.

But for me, I liked it. I could sort of watch it like I knew all the stuff that went on behind the scenes.
