Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Brother Day meets Zephyr Halima, a so called leader who opposes the Empire. Brother Dusk grows suspicious of Brother Dawn.
Our Take
Mostly a talking episode, but the political sparring between Brother Day and Zephyr Halima gives Lee Pace plenty to chew on, and he makes the verbal chess match feel bigger than it is. The Cleonic subplot moves slower than it should, though the tension between the brothers is quietly building. Worth watching for the palace scenes, even if the pace tests your patience.
