Welcome to our episode by episode analysis of The Witcher, where we focus on character psychology and relationships.

Rience watches idly as Lydia's face gets burnt off;  there is trouble between Triss and Vilgefortz in Aretuza paradise; and Fringilla makes a plea to Artorius.  

Fringilla and Fransesca's friendship falters; I defend Cahir yet again; and someone kills the elven baby.  

Jaskier sings an awesome song and tells Geralt off; Yarpen decides to join Geralt on a secret mission.  

Yennefer and Ciri travel to Cintra for Yennefer's act of betrayal; Ciri screams, Geralt arrives, and he and Yennefer share a very loving moment at opposite ends of a sword.  

Also, the evil witch escapes at the last minute. Bad deal.

Charles is driving Sam to work, watching her giggle as she texts. He frowns, and we see chains. His jealousy is evident.   

He asks how Sam is feeling, and Sam is brutally blunt... and very explicit, so much so that Charles is blushing.   

He asks her out to dinner that night, but she tells him it's raid night, no longer embarrassed. Charles, however, is busy all weekend. Is he really busy, or is he just retaliating?   Sam is trying to confirm with someone who is likely Dion, and Charles distracts her with a well placed hand on her thigh. Is he jealous? Is he Dion? ;)  

They arrive at the office, and the anticipated encounter occurs: Mr. Young charges Charles like a bull, but Sam steps in front of Charles to defend him, and Mrs. Young slides in for the win, causing Mr. Young to trip and fall flat on his face. Mr. Young gets his due.

In the glow of the evening light, Lauren talks with Uncle Tristan and Dakan about the night at the factory and her role as Lune. We learn that he faced a difficult choice, and Dakan is potentially sus with his prying questions.   

Lauren refuses to disclose Kieran's identity, but shares the information they found out. Tristan retrieves the painting Lauren made for him, and sweet words are exchanged. She finally decides that now is the time to tell them about her parents and Snapdragon.  

Meanwhile Kym, ensconced in her watermelon duvet, has trouble sleeping due to her factory trauma.  

Yet another character has no rest. Sandman, in an office, deftly fights off an assassination attempt, and grimly calls a blue haired person from Mirage Opera House, telling them that they've been discovered.  

Fwoot has a new simpery subject.

The gang arrives at Felicia Bay. Tora and Poppy are sitting in silent gloom while Quincy tries to lighten the mood with his sexcapades.   

As they stop for gas, Poppy mulls over the information Quincy shared: that Felicia Bay and Moonbright are clan-neutral territory. Theory time! She worries for Tora's safety and his breaking Balthuman law by covering his tattoo.   

Poppy texts Erdene to forward her address to her cousins if she isn't heard from in a week, which is a REALLY LONG TIME.   

They arrive at the beautiful compound, and Quincy accidentally checks out Poppy's posterior while they unpack, immediately launching into a coughing fit as he, in Kinkajou's words, "chokes on his loyalty."  Poppy wonders who the compound belongs to, and is perturbed to discover that it is Tora's.  

Turns out someone else is surprised at information she learns: Inspector Lane is shocked to see Tora and Poppy drive away.

Welcome to our episode by episode analysis of The Witcher, where we focus on character psychology and relationships.

In this episode with Patty, we discuss Rience's appearance at Kaer Mohren and try to make sense of some questions. Istredd's conversation with the caustic Fenn and Codringher is highly entertaining as well as enlightening.  

Back at Cintra, relationships between Fringilla, Fransesca, Cahir and Hake are complex. As a Cahir stan, I make my best case for the not-completely-awful side of his character.  

Geralt has some typical teenager trouble with Ciri, and attempts to train her at Melitele are thwarted by Rience and his Michelet brothers - not to mention the interference of one very selfish sorceress, Yennefer.

Sam wakes up in Charles' arms and goes to take Bowser out for a walk. She wonders why she feels heavier, and we discuss the meaning of the chains dragging behind her.

She spots Marshall being catcalled by some thirsty women, and when she confirms to Marshall that they are no longer watching him, he breaks down, unusued to the physical exercise. Marshall remembers that she was never in good shape due to her poor health, and feels bad, but immediately bounces back and asks Sam how she feels about her new Indigineer score. Sam decides to protect his feelings by pretending she liked it.

They walk back to the apartment together, and Charles, waking up from a nightmare about his ex-wife cheating on him, is perturbed at Sam's absence and even more so when he hers he talking to Marshall. He is about to open the door in a brilliant callback to his trauma, but stops himself. He is bent over when Sam enters, and locks her into a passionate embrace.

We discuss the implications of Charles' character moving forward.

We open with Lila faithfully visiting Lucas, still unconscious in the hospital, and then move to Lauren, being taken care of by Lucy. She looks in the mirror, contemplating what she has done to her friends and family, and now, just like her best bud Kieran, sees her reflection in blood and flames, with vicious monsters surrounding her.   

She is about to get "eaten" by one of them when a knock on the balcony window shakes her out of her waking nightmare. A dapper and dashing young man by the name of "almost got killed Kieran" is flashing his sardonic grin outside of her door.   

They exchange hilarious banter, and Kieran admits he has come all this way just to check on her - after only a few hours. Lauren asks about how the Phantom Scythe will handle Kieran's failure to get Lune, and the most romantic moment ever happens!! We are dead.   

Once again, Kieran deflects and doesn't allow anyone to show concern for him. He asks about how Lauren's friends handled their reunion,  and Lauren admits that they may suspect that Kieran is her partner but are mum about it. Kieran assures her of his doctors' silence as well.   

Kieran then puts his heart on the line and offers Lauren his bed - er -home, and Lauren thanks him. She remembers her begging Kieran to wake up in the factory, and maybe, just maybe, starts to realize how much he means to her.   

Just then, there is a knock on her door. Kieran disappears in a flash, and Lauren braces herself to remain calm for her reunion with her family, but actually seeing Tristan and Dakan looking distraught for her breaks her down. She steps away from Tristan when he reaches for her and bursts into tears, apologizing for having hurt them and her friends. She collapses, and Tristan takes her into his arms.  

Back at his apartment, Kieran proceeds to his locked room, finally allowing himself to express his pain, collapsing on the floor before he can reach the chair. Panting, he pulls out a drawing of a runed symbol, and we flash back  to a younger Kieran scratching this rune out over and over again from a prison cell, which he shares with another mysterious figure.

In this Meet the Tinker interview, we talk to Keryl Brown Ahmed, the author of Big Ethel Energy on Webtoons who has also worked on a number of film productions.

Keryl didn’t even like writing as a kid, and it took a math and science high school to get her to write a script and realize, hey, she liked it. We talk about how she overcomes self-doubt, and her work on the television show Blackish and the new movie Cheaper by the Dozen.

Keryl was a huge Archie’s comic fan, so she was thrilled to get the opportunity to pitch a story to Archie’s Comic and Webtoons, and that’s how we ended up with Big Ethel Energy. We talk about the messages Keryl tries to impart in the story, and how she actually likes having structure to help guide her creativity.

We’re so thankful that Keryl came on to discuss her work: check them all out on the links in the description.

Will, looking haggard and tired, doesn't believe that Lauren was in a car crash. Luckily for him, the phone rings just at that moment.  

We switch to Lauren's home, where Kym and Will burst into Lauren's house and Kym aggressively hugs/punches Lauren. They sit down and Lauren tells them.... almost everything. She lies about her partner, telling them that he died in the explosion, though Kym suspects Kieran.   

They hear a commotion and go outside (with Lauren in pajamas ahem), where they hear the new royal decrees announced by Hermann.  

To end our Season 3 premiere with a bang, we fast forward to a month later, where we see a shocking scene: Lauren in the cave, and Neyra telling her that "He is dead." Who what when where why? Who knows?  

We also discuss the Season 3 premiere (episodes 106-111) as a whole, and our issues with its pacing and stakes.
