I really like this episode as you see some more character growth in both Asuna and Kirito. They are such an interesting pairing here!

Notice at the end of Lizbeth's story, Kirito cuts her off and say's "Don't say another word". She was about to finishg saying "It's all my fault" which is tied deeply to Kirito's trauma. I also love the "do it Sachi" moment. Such a great line that shapes the entire tone of the scene.

Yep. We start to, really, see her true colors. Like she said in episode 5, "At least I pretend to care".

This episode, also, shows the start of a change for Kirito. Before, he would always get really upset, or suprised, when someone called him an asshole. Not he's kind of accepted that as who he is.

Ah and this is the start of the Asuna we know and love in abridged. Original Asuna is cute and sweet and adorable, she’s great too but this Asuna is what’s known in anime as a Yandere. Which is basically a person who doesn’t want their love interest going for anyone else and will violently hurt either the person, her partner, or both.

I’m not a fan of harem anime’s in general so I’m glad SAO abridged did more than the original source to minimize those types of interactions even if it’s unavoidable at some points.

Not trying intentionally to be the grammar police, just an idiosyncrasy of mine so please forgive me :) Asuna Ah-Soo-nah Ah - Like "sAUna" Soo - Like 'SOOn' Nah - Like 'fauNA'"

Another episode with a voice you might have recognized(though it's obviously a different type of voice than you've heard before) - Lisbeth is played by Megami33(Corinne Sudberg), who did Bulma in DBZ Abridged and Integra in Hellsing Ultimate Abridged.

I'll be the first to point this out. The bit with Liz forging the sword is a pretty brilliant joke when you take the state of modern gaming into account, making it a mini(macro?) game inside of a much larger game. And no, it wasn't like that in the show, which makes the joke funnier. Also regarding the "claiming a man is high school behavior" bit, that actually tracks. Kirito was 14 when he full dove into Sword Art Online, and he's been stuck in the game for 2 years around now. Oh, and love triangle? you have no idea. More like anime's worst love parabola

I like how the creators made pretty much no changes to the Lisbeth character, she's exactly the same as she is in the original show, so a lot of the comedy to me came from the fact that this episode is basically what would happen if Lisbeth from the original show met with abridged Kitito and Asuna, who are extremely different to their original versions.
