Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Queen Sareth and Dawn share a moment as she tries to learn more about Day. Brothers Constant and Poly bring Hober Mallow to Terminus.

Our Take

This one splits its time between court intrigue and the Terminus arrival, and the palace material works better than it has any right to. The Sareth and Dawn scenes have real tension to them, while the Mallow storyline mostly exists to set up future moves. A slower, talkier hour, but the character work keeps it from dragging too badly.
