Recap / Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood E 25 Doorway Of Darkness

• Big Eater: A minor plot point. Ling's room service when he was staying with Ed is used to confirm he is the genuine article and not Envy in disguise.
• Foreshadowing: Bradley's insistence that Selim will never be a weak point to use against him (when Roy threatens blackmail). In the context of this episode, it's underscoring Wrath's complete control and self-confidence, and how Mustang's threats mean nothing to him. Over a dozen episodes later, however, we find out why Bradley really wasn't worried about Selim being used against him: because Selim is also one of the Homunculi (and is much more dangerous than Wrath).
• Frame-Up: Envy didn't just pose as a Amestrian soldier who 'accidentally' triggered the Ishvalan Civil War by shooting a child. What makes it an especially cruel frame-up is that Envy also specifically posed as an Officer who was a noted moderate and who had always publicly opposed the Ishvalan Occupation. Envy's frame-up left this officer no plausible defense and they court-martialed him.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When Envy explains to Ed and Ling that Gluttony's stomach is a Pocket Dimension with no exit, leaving waiting for death the only option, they speak in a Tranquil Fury tone, which is very unusual for Envy. Coming from a Psychopathic Manchild who loves to inflict suffering on humans and gloat about their atrocities to anyone who will pay attention, Envy for once is being deadly serious. Of course, once Ed mentions that he suspects the Homunculi are connected to the Ishvalan War of Extermination, Envy immediately reverts to their usual self (see Wham Line below).
• Something Only They Would Say: When Ed and Ling find each other, both try this, understandably suspicious that either one of them could be Envy in disguise. Ling is able to prove he's the genuine article by casually suggesting he could name every item of food he ordered from Ed's room service. In the same vein, Ling is able to test if Ed is the real deal by calling him small, and Ed (in true fashion) angrily snaps at the young prince for calling him that.
• Wham Line: Ed tells Envy that he had heard that the Ishvalan War of Extermination began when an Amestrian officer accidentally shot and killed an Ishvalan child. Then...
  Envy: Yep, and the one that proudly pulled the trigger was none other than Yours Truly.
