cap_it2. But they don't have the screencaps from the latest episode.
Yes, well, that happens sometimes. But you know what you can do? Wait. If you see icons featuring scenes from the latest episode, the chances are that the icon maker capped it themselves. You can go haunt them about it, but there's no guarantee that they won't find you annoying. So, really, you should just wait.
