In this episode with Bundin and Manny (check out his music below!), we see Dijkstra sending an elven spy into Cintra, none other than Dara. Triss visits Kaer Mohren, where she is quickly rejected by Geralt romantically but enlisted to help train Ciri. She helps uncover both Ciri's monolith-toppling power and her Elder Blood.
Meanwhile, in Gors Velen, Yen and Cahir are on the run, with an emotionally evocative encounter in the sewer and a surprising reunion with a newly matured bard, Jaskier, now acting as a rescuing Sandpiper. He is not mature enough, however, to avoid an altercation with the dock guard, and an act of redemption saves them all. But the lute crash at the end lets us know that not all is clear...
