I have to say, I really didn't expect this season to be about Satone, so I'm pleasantly surprised. I'm also pleased that every opportunity this show has had to ruin it by introducing a love triangle has been averted.
If you read the light novel, and saw the OVA, then it would've been obvious, as that is all there is to continue with this series.
But I really hate to admit it, but this is a case of the show being better than the novel. Extremely small spoilers in the box, mostly about a comparison of characters from the show to the novel.
In the novel, Kumin, Dekomori and Touka where never seen or heard from in the series. Kuzuha and Yumeha and Yuuta's mother were never in the novel either because they were in Jakarta with his father, Makoto I believe showed up twice and was gone afterwards.
Nibutani wasn't as fleshed out as she was in the show, she was a support character whom Yuuta went to get advice from often which always came from Kazari who appears in EP2 of Season 2. Nibutani always was found with Kazari. While Yuuta and Rikka remained almost exactly the same in the novel and show, it wasn't as dramatic, there was no danger in the novel at any point such as the rooftop scene, it was more drama and romance oriented. Book two's opening was romantic as hell, it was kinda adorable because the story revolved around Rikka more even though the story seems to be told by Yuuta. Yuuta while in love with Rikka is still an oblivious idiot, but in the novel Rikka is head-over-heels for him and she is the one who often takes the initiative.(But that opening on the second book...so adorably romantic..)
Anyways, going back on the most recent episode. The show's not over yet, one crisis is averted but there's another resonating in Satone's last words.
