In this episode, Julia and Chloe return to the shadows for a final look at the third instalment in Claire Sager’s series. What begins as a discussion of plot twists, character reckonings, and political upheaval quickly spirals into something murkier—what makes a story land, and what makes it crumble?
With opposing reactions to key moments, the hosts explore themes of silence, survival, and manipulation. Trauma is unearthed, alliances shift, and power takes unexpected forms—though not always convincingly. There’s talk of crowns that mean nothing, relationships that stretch belief, and a kingdom that may have changed too fast to be saved.
And somewhere in the middle of it all: potatoes.
