Eugenides and Irene make a serious threat, and we discuss the centralization of power, risk-taking, new avenues for Pheris, the idea of an inverted tragedy, and, as always, love. 

War comes to the Little Peninsula. We discuss the logistics of killing people, Fordad’s fake surprise, Eddisian tattoos, prophetic headcanons, the iconic sleeveless leather vest, and Moira’s Pen.

Pheris adjusts to his new home. We discuss adult supervision, Gen's master plan, Eddisian accents, the psychology of Helen's clothing choices, and confusing banquet hall seating arrangements.
