I agree with the post above me. I just watched the ep but it was very confusing because not much is seen b/w Suzaku and Lelouch. However because of the theory that Lelouch was manipulated under the command of Charles it helps clear things up.

However, we have assumption the Geass works only once per person, actually this is not true because that rule only applies and is most well known to be applied to Lelouch's Geass of Obedience.

Thus, it is possible for Charles to modify Lelouch's memory over and over. We must keep in mind that it is also illogical for Lelouch to be gone for too long from school.

My first theory was that this train scene was right after Suzaku captured Lelouch because Suzaku can only be a Knight of Rounds after Lelouch's memory was modified. Despite the fact that we have indeed witnessed the scene that Charles used his Geass on Lelouch, we did not see specifically what 'commands' or other memory details was implanted into Lelouch at that very moment.

What puzzld me was that lelouch's right eye was covered when I was thinking of my first theory. After seeing more of Suzaku and Lelouch towards the end it starts to make more sense. Lelouch's right eye is covered because Charles doesn't want to take any risk of Lelouch accidentally re activating his Geass which will cause complications.

1) This is happening b/w R1 and R2. Thus it is only logical to think that because we know specifically when this is taking place, we now know that this takes place after Lelouch got his memories modified and that the Black Knights have been captured/disbanded (somewhat)

2) Another interesting thing to think about is the fact that Lelouch was begging Suzaku for water and Suzaku looks back at him with disdain/disgust.
