Everyone one in the cast has had their family shown, hell, even Delia is coming to see Ash from Kanto for the visitation day. I'm 110% certain that that episode, while focusing on Ash and Delia, is going to have quite a bit of focus on Lillie and the lack of her family appearing.
Or, if they want to shake things up have Lusamine appear and be extremely cold to Lillie.
That episode is probably going to set things up for Lillie to travel around with Ash. I wouldn't be surprised if episode 25/26 is the end of the first part of the Pokemon School Arc, which sends us to the Akala/Trials Arc for another 25-30 episodes, which will then set up an Aether/UB tease/Ula Ula arc with Pokemon School sprinkled in every now and then.
>>32228657She isn't the only writer in the show, and her episodes are a lot of fun.
Omode is primarily writing Lillie focused episode it appears, handling her character on her own similar to how Serena was basically given to her to develop.
Omode did good work with Serena and is very good at developing characters. It wasn't until about midway through XY that Serena was handed off to her. The difference with Lillie is that it appears she has been given Lillie's character from the very beginning to work with.
Wasn't it Omode who decided that Shiron needed a nickname to seperate it from the Kanto Vulpix?
