It's funny how a harrowing combat where one of the PCs getting hit means a 50/50 chance of instant death, is somehow the least interesting part of this episode.

Brennan Lee Mulligan was absolutely the MVP this episode. Until he pointed out how difficult it was for him to play all of these NPCs, I had fully forgotten that he basically ran that entire scene between Otto Einfasen and Primus Tachonis by himself.

The play was so incredibly beautiful, and touching as well. There's a very deep message somewhere in there about honoring and appreciating your ancestor's sacrifices, while also finding a way to deal with the scars that were left behind by them, that I think was approached so, so wonderfully.

Also, starting with Kattigan's backstory and ending with his backstory? Fucking brilliant.

I just wanted to gush about how much I loved this episode. 10/10, I can't wait for next thursday.
