Maybe she should've been nicer to the lad, eh? Then, suddenly, a commotion. He's laughed out of the room, Calanthe telling him Nilfgaard is the 'shit rag of the south.' Compare this to the first episode, when the Nilfgaardian army conquers Cintra, resulting in Calanthe's death and the destruction of her kingdom. Ciri refuses to believe that her grandmother, Calanthe, would do such a thing.Д«ack in Cintra, a Lord Peregrine of Nilfgaard makes his case for marrying Pavetta. He was the only survivor, because he fled. 'Your grandmother slaughtered my family.' he says. Later, Ciri reveals her true identity-Princess Cirilla of Cintra-to a shocked Dara.

Ciri is relieved to be reunited with Dara and watches as one of the dryads removes the arrow from his shoulder, healing it with a magical water. Geralt responds as he usually does, with a grunt.Д«ack in Brokilon Forest, the leader of the group, whose name we still don't know, reveals to Ciri that they are not elves, but dryads-a race of all-female wood nymphs who have lived in the forest for aeons.

But who wouldn't? 'Seems we are quite the pair.' she says, looking at him with a hunger in her eyes. I also get the impression that Calanthe has the hots for Geralt. 'There's a simplicity in killing monsters.' she says. Later, Geralt asks her why she fights when she could just sit on her throne in comfort. 'A few upstart townships in the south needed reminding who was Queen,' she says gleefully. Pavetta is not impressed by their loutishness, nor does she seem interested in any of them.Д¬alanthe makes a dramatic entrance, armour splattered with blood. Occasionally the assembled lords argue and wrestle. Mousesack, who we first met in episode one, has his money on Crach an Craite-a rowdy, beer-swigging young lad who you may remember meeting on Skellige, as an older man, in The Witcher 3. Suitors from different kingdoms are in attendance, all vying for Pavetta's hand in marriage. Prepare for The Witcher season 2 with all of our episode guides:ДЄ cleaned-up, velvet-clad Geralt arrives at the banquet-a marriage feast thrown for Calanthe's daughter, Pavetta. Seems Jaskier really is improving Geralt's reputation in the world, as he promised he would. Jaskier begins to sing what has become Geralt's theme song: 'Toss a coin to your witcher / A friend of humanity.' The tavern sings along. 'I had to get it from the inside.' he says, matter-of-factly. The yarn ends with the witcher being eaten, but just as he finishes the story Geralt bursts through the door, covered in blood and guts. In a tavern, a patron regales a captive audience with a tale about a man, a White Wolf, battling a creature on a frozen lake. We see Geralt, already friends with Jaskier, whom he met in episode two, at a banquet hosted by Calanthe-who we saw die in episode one.

This episode also made me realise that this is not a totally linear series. I didn't like this episode as much as the others-maybe because it was the first one not to feature a monster hunt-but there are some great moments here, particularly the scenes where a more mature, powerful Yennefer butts heads with an assassin. The woman tells her she's in a place called Brokilon Forest.Д«y this point, The Witcher has really hit its stride. Ciri says her name is Fiona, that she's lost. But before she can get close, she finds herself surrounded by a group of tribal-lookingвЂ¦ elves? 'If she runs, kill her.' a woman, the leader, says to her group in elder. Then, suddenly, the snow and withered trees transform into lush greenery, and Ciri sees a glowing light. As she moves deeper into the trees, the voices intensify and overlap, chanting her name. We rejoin Ciri in the woods, following those eerie, whispering voices.
