Urged on by Lambert’s teasing, Ciri chooses to take on the witcher obstacle course, a brutal wooden contraption of swinging spikes and traps - imagine a medieval Ninja Warrior.
Of course, it doesn’t help that she’s taunted by the fellow Kaer Morhen brethren, particularly Lambert (Paul Bullion). However, Ciri, much like the younger Geralt, is stubborn. Time has softened Geralt’s attitude, though, and he doesn’t want to push Ciri beyond her comfort level. But the younger Geralt has no time for rest, continuing to push Eskel under the guidance of Vesemir (Kim Bodnia). In a flashback, we see a tired and battered Eskel asking Geralt for a reprieve to let their hair down and have some fun. He’s been through witcher training himself, and he’s seen the effects it had on his brothers, like Eskel (Basil Eidenbenz), who met his end last week. Geralt, however, knows the importance of rest. As her old advisor, Mousesack, once told her, “Anything less than perfect means death,” and so she needs to sharpen her fighting skills quickly. Ciri wants the Witcher For Dummies crash course she doesn’t have the patience for Geralt’s slow approach. 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. Even then, a quieter episode of The Witcher still contains a wild monster fight and some mage magic to keep us satiated.
There were still revelations and plot advancements, but this felt like an episode setting up the pieces for the chaos to come.
For a show that is usually full-steam ahead, this was a more subdued episode by The Witcher standards.
