Episode 15: I’d rather stay in this body forever | Fullmetal Alchemist chapters 34–36

Ed, Al, Winry, Ling, Lan Fan, and Fu arrive in Central... where Ling promptly faints and gets picked up by the police for traveling without a passport. No one is able to break the news of Hughes’ death to Ed, Al, and Winry, but they soon find out nonetheless.

Roy continues to investigate the military and Hughes’ death with the help of Sheska. The homunculi continue to move their mysterious plans forward—Envy surveilling the military in disguise, and Lust too has a new contact within the military. With Roy getting uncomfortably close to their schemes, Envy sets a plan in motion to keep him preoccupied.

When a familiar face is accused and convicted of Hughes’ murder, an escape plan is set in motion, but it’s not quick enough for Roy, who burns the resistant convict so badly, the coroner has trouble identifying them.

Winry, then Ed and Al, visit Gracia Hughes to pay their respects and apologize. The kids are torn up about the death, especially Ed and Al, who are unsure who to trust and how to move forward in their quest to restore their bodies.

The homunculi learn of a loose end from the Lab 5 incident that needs to be tied up... but it turns out they already have what they need to find Barry the Chopper.

Episode 17: No choice but to move forward | Fullmetal Alchemist chapters 40 & 41

In Resembool, Ed and Armstrong join Breda and a mysterious man named Mr. Han from Xing, who sneakily leads them out of Amestris to the ruins of Xerxes. Exploring what seems like ancient alchemical marks, he nearly gets kidnapped by Ishvalan refugees, but is spared by an older woman with a shocking connection to him. In the east he encounters some familiar faces—ones he thought he’d never see again.

The homunculi regroup after the loss from last time. Our friends in the military regroup in the hospital where Roy and Havoc are recovering, discuss what they learned, and plan their next move, but some of the crew may not be able to go any farther...
