Episode 2 is where Lucy actually joins Fairy Tail, where Natsu's character is established (his caring for the guild and such) and where several other guild members are introduced, so it would make sense to include the Macao arc.

If they show Ep 9 "Natsu eats a villiage" that's the point where I'm convinced they'll show every single episode.
