Dijkstra gets promoted from spymaster to chess grandmaster, surpassing even Varys and Littlefinger. Ciri is viewed from a distance as a shadow of Geralt and possible villain. We discuss Philippa's idea that the world will fall apart without magic. Yennefer is late for the magical Zoom call. Cam doesn't know how wine works.
