* Geralt is happy at Kaer Morhen and considers it his home ''now,'' thanks to Vesemir, but that wasn't always the case.
--> '''Ciri''': And what did you do on your first night here?
--> '''Geralt''': I was beaten and starved.

* While there's plenty to be said about Yennefer putting the townfolk under a spell that traps them in an orgy, there is something tragic in the fact that she does not take part in it, instead sitting alone, fully clothed, with a look on her face that carries no expression - for all that she did this as a sort of retribution, it clearly carries little enjoyment for her all the same, an indication of just how lost Yennefer has become since leaving court, that the power she has sought has brought her no satisfaction.

* Tissaia's visit to Yennefer is very much that of an estranged mother-daughter relationship. Tissaia clearly wants to help Yennefer: trouble with the Brotherhood, trouble with fertility angst, trouble with an "intolerant king"; her student is facing a lot of trouble, and is trying to shield her from it as best she can. She offers forgiveness, acceptance, and purpose at Aretuza, but it comes out as scolding and orders. On the other side of it, Yennefer has too much pride and Imposter Syndrome to accept help from anyone. All she sees is someone who wants to control her and take credit for her accomplishments. Making it all the sadder, the more important business she refers to is overseeing an orgy, rather than something worthy of her talent.

* Meanwhile, Nivellen might have a LOT of terrible things on his track record like [[spoiler: raping a priestess, slaughtering his servants in a frenzy after she cursed him, and allowing his bruxa lover to slaughter the nearby villagers,]] but he is also a man [[PrimalFear who is desperately lonely,]] thanks to all those circumstances.

* Yennefer's breakdown after escaping the sewers, finally laying bare her vulnerability and angst over how her life has played out:
-->'''Yennefer:''' What the '''FUCK''' is the point... of anything?! You're born helpless so you find strength, and then that's all that they want you for: to use you. Then you... you find love but it isn't real, it's a ''wish'' someone made once before they even knew who you were! And... you find power ''AND IT TURNS TO ASH IN YOUR HANDS!''

* To muster up the chaos to wipe out the Nilfgaard army, Yennefer has to, at Tissaia's urging - relive every moment that's ever hurt her. It becomes clear in the blast of fire just how much pain Yennefer has been carrying around her entire life.

* Ciri and Yennefer escape through a portal to the farmhouse from the end of the previous season. The building is dilapidated and seemingly abandoned, leading Ciri to assume the family must have moved on. As she pokes around she discovers the charred bodies of Yurga and Zola in a back room. Ciri is horrified to realise that the couple, who'd been so kind to her and Geralt, were slaughtered by Rience during his search for her.
