Episode Summary & Review
Summary
While Shadow tours Cairo and gets a lesson on its history, Laura and Sweeney meet with Baron Samedi and Maman Brigitte and make a deal to bring Laura back to life. Wednesday meets with Alviss, the King of Dwarves, and is told there’s another part to restoring his spear’s power.
Our Take
A slower, worldbuilding-heavy hour that leans on odd-couple banter to carry the weight. Laura and Sweeney’s dealings with Baron Samedi are the highlight, giving the episode its only real spark, while Wednesday’s spear quest feels like table-setting for later. Worth watching for the character pairings, just don’t expect the season to move much.
