Ciri's good deed goes horribly wrong. Jaskier flirts with a prince. Gerald fights a monster straight out of The Forest.
Tropes:
- Body Horror: The women in the monster's lair - talking heads on tentacles! Where are their bodies?
- Exact Words: Someone else's words, in this case. When Rience comes to Codringher and Fenn's house, having learned about Geralt's visit there, he picks up their cat and holds a conjured flame close to its neck. Fenn begs "No, not the cat!" and Rience demands that they tell him everything they know. We then see him walking out of their burning house, with their screams coming from inside... but he's brought the cat with him.
- Meat Moss: Makes the Creepy Cave so much worse.
- Transhuman Abomination: The monster Gerald fights. So that's where their bodies went.
- Wham Line:
- "He's been talking to Nilfgard."
- "We're tied by destiny"
