This episode, we have a bit of a change of pace. Our warrior lady this week was a swordfighter but she's a lot more known for her high-stakes wrestling. The stakes? Her hand in marriage. Expect a primer on Mongolian warfare techniques, Marco Polo for some reason, problematic operas, iconic actresses turned queer icons and enough horses to appease the most demanding of horse girls.
