The cycle begins anew, as Anton and Margaret break ground on Season 1, Episode 3 of Young Royals with their usual summary. While failing more than usual to keep from giving commentary, Anton struggles through a scarring intimacy scene, and Margaret loses it over one particular line of Sara's.

Time to wrap up another cycle, as Margaret and Anton tackle their Instagram DMs about various factoids and tidbits relating to the show that they missed. While learning a bunch more about Swedish culture, Margaret does their Googling due diligence, and Anton turns to the source -- Netflix -- to fact-check himself.

In their final main episode of this cycle, Margaret and Anton take on the symbolism, motifs, and themes of Young Royals Season 1, Episode 2. While reveling in the wonky and wishy-washy connective tissue, Margaret imagines a version of the show with August's internal monologue, and Anton comes up with (in real time!) a working theory of the thematic symbolism for day and night in the show.

Time for some more rich people nonsense, as Anton and Margaret delve into everything relating to class and the royal family in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While elaborating on just why the "on the table" scene is so weird, Anton commits to improvised cultural analysis of class and sexuality within the show, and Margaret jokingly laments that all of their discussions seem to come back to one particular topic.

Margaret and Anton are finishing this cycle's character episodes by delving into Sara in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While discussing the difficulties of making assumptions based on glimpses, Margaret shares their hypothetical reaction to being Sara in the library scene, and Anton tries to sketch out Sara's psychology to the best of his ability.

Anton and Margaret are getting into the shades of gray when discussing Felice in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While ultimately finding that they don't have much to say, Anton articulates the position of a "complicated" character, and Margaret asserts why none of Felice's action in this episode are particularly remarkable.

Margaret and Anton are going negative for an episode to "assassinate" August once again for his behavior in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While breaking from the format of prior episodes out of sheer annoyance with the character, Margaret references a popular Australian pop-punk band, and Anton makes a series of unfortunate jokes whose cringe is self-inflicted.

Anton and Margaret continue on with their character episodes for this cycle by stanning Simon in Season 1, Episode 2. While having a tangent or two (as a treat), Anton messes up some basic Tumblr terminology, and Margaret claims with their whole chest to never have the guts that Simon has at horror movie night.

Moving on to the character episodes for this cycle, Margaret and Anton start by stanning who else but Wilhelm in Season 1, Episode 2 of Young Royals. While finding themselves surprisingly contemplative, Margaret reveals a Wilhelm scene in this episode that they often have to skip, and Anton forwards a theory for why the other rowers don't also rightly find August's class journey speech absolutely hilarious.

Onwards! Anton and Margaret continue their exploration of character relationships beyond Wilmon in Season 1, Episode 2. While not being totally on their best behavior in terms of tangents, Anton admits that *with some significant changes to the plot* he finds a certain ship intriguing at the very least, and Margaret confronts the naïveté of Simon's second deal with August.
