Well first of all Kagura vs Dimarie awesome, shows what a different class those Spriggan, but I guess this is when Erza shows up, and did that Beth die? I assume Kagura stopped that attack in time, but I am not sure.
So we learn more about Brandish and all, and she looks so cute when she was a kid, but if what she said is true that Layla killed her mother, I would be pissed off to, though it is likely just a misunderstanding, maybe Zeref lied to her just to get her on his side, or someone else.
Lucy can be a bit naive, but most of the time she can tell who has a good soul, so I trust her judgement, but it is going to take a lot to get the good out of Brandish.
In the end, Aquarius is back, you know what Brandish should be thankful her mother didn't get that key, Aquarius can be a handful. Maybe she knows the truth of what happened. Can't wait till the next chapter.
