[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Witcher<\/em><\/strong><\/b> Season 2 E<\/strong>pisode 3, \u201cWhat Is Lost.\u201d]<\/b><\/p>\n

For a show that is usually full-steam ahead, this was a more subdued episode by The Witcher<\/em> standards. That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. There were still revelations and plot advancements, but this felt like an episode setting up the pieces for the chaos to come. Even then, a quieter episode of The Witcher<\/em> still contains a wild monster fight and some mage magic to keep us satiated.<\/p>\n

In Kaer Morhen, Geralt (Henry Cavill) is still attempting to play the protective father role to Princess Ciri (Freya Allan), who is growing frustrated with her training regimen. Ciri wants the Witcher For Dummies<\/em> crash course; she doesn\u2019t have the patience for Geralt\u2019s slow app<\/a>roach. As her old advisor, Mousesack, once told her, \u201cAnything less than perfect means death,\u201d and so she needs to sharpen her fighting skills quickly.<\/p>\n

Geralt, however, knows the importance of rest. He\u2019s been through witcher training himself, and he\u2019s seen the effects it had on his brothers, like Eskel (Basil Eidenbenz), who met his end last week. In a flashback, we see a tired and battered Eskel asking Geralt for a reprieve to let their hair down and have some fun. But the younger Geralt has no time for rest, continuing to push Eskel under the guidance of Vesemir (Kim Bodnia). Time has softened Geralt\u2019s attitude, though, and he doesn\u2019t want to push Ciri beyond her comfort level.<\/p>\n

However, Ciri, much like the younger Geralt, is stubborn. Of course, it doesn\u2019t help that she\u2019s taunted by the fellow Kaer Morhen brethren, particularly Lambert (Paul Bullion). Urged on by Lambert\u2019s teasing, Ciri chooses to take on the witcher obstacle course, a brutal wooden contraption of swinging spikes and traps \u2014 imagine a medieval Ninja Warrior<\/em>. No matter how many times Ciri is knocked on her ass, she gets back up and tries again, coming close to completing the course save for a last-minute tumble. \u201cSo close,\u201d says a begrudgingly proud Geralt.<\/p>\n

Ciri\u2019s urgency to learn to fight as fast as possible is not without good cause. The Continent is becoming more dangerous by the day; nowhere is safe. Last episode, we saw this with the leshy that embedded itself within Eskel \u2014 something Vesemir has never seen or heard about happening in the history books. After laying Eskel\u2019s body to rest, Vesemir wonders if the world is gearing up for another Conjunction of the Spheres \u2014 the cataclysmic event that trapped monsters and other \u201cunnatural\u201d creatures in this dimension.<\/p>\n

Vesemir might be onto something if the ending of this episode is anything to go by. After one of Ciri\u2019s visions takes her and Geralt into the woods, they\u2019re confronted by the leshy. Only, the leshy is destroyed by an even bigger, freakier monster \u2014 some kind of mutant centipede-looking creature. And this beast had Ciri dead to rights if not for a last-minute intervention by Geralt. \u201cAnything less than perfect means death,\u201d Ciri reiterates, hammering home her point from earlier in the episode.<\/p>\n

\"Freya<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Cintra, Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) surprises the Elders when she returns from her presumed death. The young mage\u2019s return is a welcome relief for Tissaia (MyAnna Buring), but not so much for Stregobor (Lars Mikkelsen), who feels his power is threatened. Tissaia calls Yennefer the true hero for what she did at Sodden Hill but tells her that for now, Vilgefortz (Mahesh Jadu) must take the credit to help their case in usurping control from Stregobor.<\/p>\n

In an effort to remain in the seat of power, Stregobor embarks on a disinformation campaign, questioning Yennefer\u2019s loyalty. He spreads rumors of her being a spy for Nilfgaard and shares propaganda about elves and their violent tendencies. Istredd (Royce Pierreson) calls Stregobor out for his lies but is brushed aside as Stregobor ambushes Yennefer, using his magic to get in her head and torture her from the inside.<\/p>\n

Yennefer only has two options to prove her loyalty. She either admits that she\u2019s lost all her powers since the battle at Sodden Hill or she kills Cahir (Eamon Farren), proving she has no connection to Nilfgaard. Neither option is particularly appealing. As Yennefer tells Cahir in his jail cell, she only kills if it serves a purpose, and offing a defenseless prisoner of war doesn\u2019t match her moral code.<\/p>\n

\"MyAnna<\/p>\n

On the other hand, confessing to her loss of powers not only reveals her vulnerability, but it\u2019s almost an admittance that she\u2019s never getting them back. Although she can\u2019t even magically heat a pool right now, there is still part of Yennefer that believes she can will her abilities back. Tissaia tries to offer reason, telling Yennefer that her powers aren\u2019t coming back, and even when she had powers, she remained unfulfilled anyway. But at least it was something, as Yennefer says, \u201cThat\u2019s all I had left.\u201d<\/p>\n

As one might expect, in the end, Yennefer chooses to do neither. She\u2019s brought in front of the Northern Kings, tasked with beheading Cahir. But instead of lobbing off his head, Yennefer breaks open Cahir\u2019s chains and knocks over the pyres, allowing the pair to make an escape through the distracting flames. \u201cWhy save me?\u201d Cahir questions as he climbs atop Yennefer\u2019s horse. \u201cI\u2019m not,\u201d she says, \u201cI\u2019m saving me.\u201d<\/p>\n

As I said at the start of this recap, while this episode was a slower feel action-wise, it set in motion what\u2019s to come. Yennefer\u2019s actions are bound to have consequences because, in the world of The Witcher<\/em>, there is no rest for the wicked.<\/p>\n

OTHER NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fringilla (Mim\u00ee M. Khayisa) and Francesca (Mecia Simson) commit to working together in Nilfgaard\u2019s aim to take over the Continent. It\u2019s also revealed that Francesca is pregnant!<\/p>\n

There is a brief focus on Triss (Anna Shaffer), who is self-conscious about the scars she suffered in the battle at Sodden Hill. Also, the show has now course-corrected and given her red hair like the character in the video game<\/a>. \u201cYou look different,\u201d Yennefer tells her in what is surely a wink and a nod to the audience.<\/p>\n
