(spoilers for show + books)

We wrap up our reheat in April 2017, when Ilya returns from Russia and faces Shane in Montreal. After a hospital visit leads to an invitation to the cottage, a groundbreaking moment in the hockey world gives them hope for something more.

Their escape forces Shane to confront his family and his truth, while Ilya makes the ultimate choice to move to Ottawa and build a life closer to him. Together, they take their first real steps toward a future that was once impossible.

Next up, The Long Game.

After learning Tamlin doomed his entire court for her (dramatic), Feyre runs Under The Mountain to save him ... only to find him sitting silently beside Amarantha's throne. For her first trial, she's dropped into a muddy labyrinth with a giant worm while an audience of faeries place bets on whether she survives.

00:10:38 deep dive

01:30:22 "maasive" spoiler section

Feyre gets drunk on faerie wine at the Summer Solstice, the Spring Court throuple is interrupted by an unexpected and unwelcome visit from Rhysand, and Tamlin drops an “I love you” that Feyre very deliberately does not return. Instead, she swallows her words (and other things) before coming back from a visit with her very fake aunt to discover the glamour did not work on Nesta, who actually tried to cross the wall to find her.

Next week: chapters 31-36.

We start with a review of Quinn’s Ember and Ice (time stamps below if you want to skip ahead), then jump back into our ACOTAR deep dive with chapters 19-24.

Tamlin buys Feyre paint, which she uses to curate a visual trauma dump. An ugly new bombshell (the Attor) enters the villa, Tamlin raw dogs the land on Calanmai, and Feyre is saved by a mysterious, beautiful stranger ... and learns she’s had an audience of glamoured faeries this entire time. Yes, even during the sneaking and farting.

Part 3 of Heated Rivalry picks up in October 2016, more than two years after Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov present an award together in Las Vegas. Shane visits Ilya’s penthouse, where things unexpectedly turn domestic when Ilya makes him a tuna melt, and the walls come down just enough for them to start calling each other by their first names. Back in Montreal, Shane meets movie star Rose Landry, and then we arrive at THAT club scene, the one permanently soundtracked in our minds by All The Things She Said. What started as something carefully contained is starting to bleed into real life, and neither of them is as unaffected as they pretend to be.

Our ACOTAR deep dive continues with chapters 13-18.

Feyre is advised to *stay with the High Lord* (xoxo, Gossip Girl), comforts a Summer Court faerie whose wings were ripped off, and takes a trip to Tam's favorite spot ... a pool of starlight. 

At the end of the episode, we talk starlight pool and Suriel theories in our "Maasive" Spoiler Section.

Part 1 of our Heated Rivalry deep dive kicks off at the very beginning, with the first collision between Shane Hollanderand Ilya Rozanov in Saskatchewan. We break down the instant spark that neither of them is prepared for, how a late-night hotel gym turns into something charged and impossible to ignore after the draft, and why the tension finally snaps in the showers and spills into a hotel room. By the time “Lily” and “Jane” show up in their phones, it’s clear this isn’t just a hookup, it’s the beginning of something neither of them can control.

Our ACOTAR deep dive continues with chapters 7-12.

Feyre learns there is a mysterious woman everyone is terrified of (I didn’t even know my mother was in Prythian) and overhears Lucien warning Tamlin that they are running out of time (ominous!). She also discovers Prythian has its very own Gossip Girl (XOXO, Suriel) and trauma bonds with Tam.

This week’s “Maasive” Spoiler Section dives into Mrs. Archeron theories, from fae, to witch, to just a really, really bad mom.
