The pace is still slow, though understandably so. It is only the second episode, after all, and only the second day after our MC got her life back. So it only makes sense that the majority of the episode revolves around Ava just trying to live her life which doesn't serve much to the main storyline of Warrior Nun, yet. There wasn't a lot of interesting things in the first half, but when we get to the second half (which is when they attended the ArqTech party), things started to get more interesting. We get introduced to these sort of antagonist characters - Jillian Salvius and Kristian Schafer - whose interests might harm the church. The party introduced the main conflict, connected Ava with the OCS, and exposed her to the OCS as well as Arqtech which furthers the conflict.
So, don't let the slow start put you off. Have some patience because this episode consists of a nice build-up the story needed. And we got to see some action too! Still not much but it was fun. All in all a pretty solid episode for me. Not their best episode by far, but the pacing makes sense to me, so I won't be too harsh. Another episode that managed to build up more excitement for the next ones!
