A priest?!? The guy who blew up a sun is going to Seminary?!? I can't imagine what must be going through Hadrian's head as he is being forced to become part of the Future Spanish inquisition!

This episode really dives into the meat of the themes that are present throughout the entire series. We have melodramatic teenagers moping on the beach, a plan to escape Dad's big bad seminary plan, an incredibly awkward moment or two and a candid discussion on the nature of suffering and sacrifice. Warning: This episode discusses torture.
