We break the episode down scene by scene, from Redgrass Field and Westeros’ favourite way of ending rebellions (hint: overwhelming force), to tourney chaos, questionable prosthetics, genuinely excellent armour, and one very memorable fish-related incident — and assess whether Aerion has reached peak arsehole yet, or if there’s still room to grow.
There’s puppet shows, painted shields, tug-of-war nonsense, Sweetfoot heartbreak, and Egg being suspiciously well-informed for a shaved orphan from nowhere. Along the way we dip into behind-the-scenes details, relevant lore, and an RIP section that somehow survives despite nobody technically dying — and, as ever, we do not make it through the eulogies without laughing.
Spoilers for book readers at the end.
