She promptly calls him out on letting his inferiority complex out way his duty to humanity.

* BlatantLies: Grisha's claim that he doesn't remember ''anything'' about himself yet still retains enough physician knowledge to be the most skilled healer in the Walls. It's not particularly believable even in-universe, but Shadis doesn't press the issue because it saves Carla and several people from a plague.

* CharacterDevelopment: Eren is a lot more contemplative and solem thanks to inheriting his fathers memories and discovering that the war between Titans and humans isn't as black and white as he initially thought. Even when asked about what he will do if he runs into Reiner and Bertholdt again Eren just solemnly notes he will have to kill them with none of the heat he used to put into his words.
* GreenEyedMonster: Done humorously with Mikasa who doesn't appreciate how close Eren and Historia have gotten since their adventure together, promptly gives the both of them a DeathGlare, and takes Eren's workload so she can get between their conversation.

New recruits join the Scouts, including Marlowe. Eren remembers seeing Cadet Commandant Keith Shadis in his father's memories; we see more of Shadis' backstory as he explains to the Scouts how he met Dr. Yeager.
