OK I'm going to start this blog review with what the heck is skekMal doing to Rian? And what does skekSil want with him? I get the fact that he wants to take Rian back to the castle and I got a feeling that I may know why. I really don't think he should of drunk the rest of Mira's essence at all because that's Rian's proof to what the Skeksis are doing. Looks like the Darkening is spreading fast, even a Landstrider is being affected. Meanwhile at the Castle of The Crystal Tavra, Kyaln and Naia managed to free Gurjin and help him escape but Tavra made a discovery relating to skekSo.
If Deet was able to the enter The X Factor or Britain's Got Talent she would easily win because she has an amazing singing voice but Hup was scared of her but he reassured him that she's nothing to be scared of by reminding him of the things he had done for Deet. Meanwhile back in Ha'rar the All-Maudra Mayrin was visited by skekUng and skekZok unexpectedly and they required volunteers from the Vapra clan, more like harvesting Gelflings for their essence in my opinion. Mayrin stupidly agreed with them, still not knowing the truth about what those Skeksis are actually doing. OK there's one thing I like to say to skekSil: didn't your mother ever told you not to talk to your food let alone play with your food? Seems like that never sunk in because on the way back to the castle he interrogated Rian as he struggled to break free. Even though skekSil explained to Rian that death is cruel to Skeksis and everything kills in order to survive. Seladon is still mad with her sister Brea. Good thing that my sister is never mad at me. And then Mayrin walked into the scene, finding both her daughters were arguing let alone surprised to see Brea. Seladon tried to explain that Lore is a monster that Brea created in a secret chamber underneath the throne room as well as Brea trying to explain that Lore is not a monster. Thankfully Mayrin sent Seladon away and asked Brea to show her Lore. That's what my mum would do if she needs proof. skekSil gave Rian a choice: stand before the Skeksis and admit that he murdered Mira in order to save his race or be drained of his essence. Could someone please save Rian or else he'll be dead? But it did sound like Rian doesn't have much of a choice. Thankfully Rian refused. Then skekSil gave Rian another choice: run away or co-operate, Rian chose to co-operate. Meanwhile Thra is still teaching Aughra to hear the song but so far Thra hasn't been so much of a help. Both of Aughra's and Mystic's ways never worked and admitted failure. She shouldn't give up, there's nothing wrong to keep on trying. Aughra then realized that she shouldn't make Thra talk, she should listen. In order for Deet to see the All-Maudra, Hup helped Deet disguise her as a noble Vapra lady which didn't work for very long. When Brea introduced Lore to her mother Mayrin saw that Lore is a gentle creature whilst the Skeksis were being picky with their so-called "volunteers." Thank god Gurjin and Naia saved Rian just in time because that's what friends are for. I would give any of my limbs to save my friends from anything. But Rian's rescue was a bit of a bumpy ride. But thankfully he's safe and way from Skeksis harm. Even though Deet's disguise didn't fool Seladon she started to explain to her what's been happening up to the point of her meeting with Seladon. Aughra started hearing Thra's song as Rian, Brea, Mayrin Deet, Seladon, Gurjin, Naia and Kylan began dream-fasting with one another. Event though Rian, Brea, Mayrin, Seladon, Deet, Gurjin and Naia thought they were in the Skeksis castle Aughra explained to them that they have entered Dream Space and explained that Dream Space is a spirit world, a world within their world, the crystal has asked them for their help but Seladon thought it was treason to the Skeksis. Thankfully Aughra kicked her out of Dream Space because she's a different Gelfling with a different path. The crystal showed everyone what Rian has been trying to tell them about Mira and what the Skesis are doing all this time and they all decided to answer the crystals help and Aughra declared them all the hero's of Thra. But unfortunately will abruptly end for one of them after when Seladon told skekUng and skekZok about what's happened. Mayrin stood her ground and skekZok killed her. Seladon blamed Brea for their mother's death and was declared All-Maudra by the Skeksis. I really wish that Seladon would change her ways for her own sake let alone her life.
I can finally say that most of the characters now believe Rian and they must do whatever they can to stop the Skeksis from draining their essence which made this episode very enjoyable to watch.
