Luke must face a harsh truth about his sports fanhood (10:20 to skip). Folks, does it count as a war if the Sorceress never loses. We finally get to meet a dragon in the cosmere, and… not a great guy! Finally, we make a noble attempt at a grand spore theory and tbh I think we nailed it.

Plus how willing to swap out eyeballs are you?
