I thought he was insect-ing with Auntie-Queen. Or implied. After his return dinner, Silas finds her in the kitchen looking for a missing shoe that she was wearing earlier. Or do I clearly need to watch that one again? ---

I was wary at the beginning because despite using such a big canvas, the show seemed to simplistically portray certain policy decisions as “good” and “evil.” Peace with Gath and Michelle’s healthcare plan were sponsored by the “good” characters, and we were expected to cheer them on as they were opposed by the “evil” characters. But the show actually went and showed consequences of these moves, which are not all sunshine and roses. Like. ---

Yeah, they really stepped it up with this episode, it’d be too bad if this show went away. ---

> [@Sage\_Rat](#): > > Not quite as good an episode, but it was nice to have the show back. Total :eek: about the Princess. That’s a rather impressive way to convince dadums to make the right choice. Could you spoiler the Princess bit for me? My satellite conked out and I missed the episode. ---

> [@Contrapuntal](#): > > Could you spoiler the Princess bit for me? My satellite conked out and I missed the episode. She saw a Mother and son in isolation because of the plague. She went into the room when the Mother died to comfort the child. This made the King isolate the city, He talked the Priest or whatever into speaking to the people, to remain in their homes for the twelve hours that the plague would be contagious. The city was spared, as it were. ---

Hm…still midway through the new episode. Silas’ history is darned interesting. He’s got the one mystery man in the cell, and now there’s the lady in black and their deal. I hope they’ll be able to flesh these two trails out. ---

> [@carnivorousplant](#): > > But isn’t that the former King who everyone believes to be dead? Well yeah, but there certainly seems to be quite a bit history between them. I mean it’s obvious who the lady in black is, but you’d still hope that she’s more than a boogey man who only appears in one episode and has no other effect on the characters beyond that. I’m just saying that in both of these instances, there seems to be more story there waiting to be told. ---
