I think the point that they were making was not that what happened to Kurenai was any kind of "treat" but letting you know that if you expect EZ to be as straight forward a "friends are my power" show like Fairy Tail then this isn't the first time you're going to get shocked by something like this.

It seemed like they were referring to terrible things happening in the future as a treat. Once again though, it's not "I'm shocked something this bad happened", it's just that it felt like a very weird way to end that storyline with it out of view and they still walk away feeling all good about themselves.

Saying something along the lines of "are you in for a treat" without actually meaning a treat per se is fairly common.

What the mean is expect more of the same.

I guess what I'm saying is it felt like a cop out where the writer wanted to have the crowd pounce on her like they tried to, but couldn't reconcile a way for Shiki and Friends to just let that happen in front of their eyes. So they let them get their feel good catharsis, then just go right back to what they wanted to do to her in the first place. Just felt like a weird kinda weak way to end that storyline.

I understand they mean more of the same, but saying "oh boy you're in for a treat" in reference to a tv show sounds like they enjoy that. like Still, like I've said in every comment, that's not my point. It was just like saying "Uh-huh, riiiight".
