You're telling me that I... that I...

You came up here to sleep with your daughter.

N-No. No, I mean...

No. I-I-I feel like I wouldn't have let it get that far.

W-W-Wait!

I-I had no idea you existed.

But, look,

now that I do, I recognize your eyes,

your ears, your hair.

So much like your mother.

I'll never forget meeting her.

It was love at first sight.

We talked till sunrise

about music and dirty jokes,

our hopes and fears.

Every moment with her showed me

a new way to be happy.

I spent my whole life looking for pleasure.

I never thought I'd find romance.

She unlocked my soul.

But then, as quickly as it started...

the world got in the way.

And all these years, I never got over Lea.

Always holding on to hope that

somehow, somewhere,

our love could live forever.

That's not my mum.

Are you sure?

You fucking asshole!

W... Uh, wait, wait. Uh... Phoebe? Janet?

Burt?

Christy? Clara? Coriander?

I feel like it starts with a "C."

Her name was Sybil,

and you left her like she was nothing,

just another one of your conquests to bed.

Mum raised me alone,

struggled endlessly to support us.

She deserved better,

but instead she got you,

a selfish gnome

who doesn't even remember her name.

I really am awful.

Don't try that with me.

No, it's the truth.

I've made a lifetime of mistakes, and...

I'm not sure why I'm this way,

but my heart is breaking a hundred times

for not knowing about you.

So, go on, stab me.

I won't resist.

You've earned it.

No. No.

That'd be helping you run away again.

So I'll do worse than kill you.

I'll leave you with this burden.

It's yours now...

Dad.

Kaylie, wait.

If you just...

Stupid thing. Ow.

P-Please just...

Let me...

Cheers.

Ah...

Grog, why does your keg say "For Animal Consumption Only"?

I don't know.

But I'm gonna need another round.

- So I said, "You can certainly..." - For me?

- Oh, thank you. - Hey, that's mine.

All right, brother, got us some drinks.

The hell?

Please, usher us into the beyond.

The fuck do you want from me?

She's watching.

Some night, huh?

Unforgettable.

Have you ever...

Ah, it's stupid, never mind.

No, go ahead.

Well...

Have you ever... had your life change, and...

you don't know what comes next?

Since we've all been together? Daily.

Change is constant.

Running's always been my answer.

I'm starting to think that, yeah,

the worst things in life come from fear, but...

maybe the best things do, too.

You don't get to choose your part in the play,

but a true performer commits anyway.

Oh, uh, sorry.

Th-This isn't helpful.

You're saying you can't let fear hold you back.

I guess I am.

Take the plunge.

Westruun has been bled dry, Thordak.

Then why have you not delivered my gold?

There is one more item to acquire.

Another vestige even more powerful than this.

More distractions.

I assure you, my king, all will be delivered in time

for your emergence.

If this delays you by even a day, Umbrasyl,

your flesh will burn.

He underestimates your power.

With those gauntlets, you wouldn't have to grovel

to Thordak any longer.

One last collection,

then I melt this city and pull them from the wreckage.

You get power,

and I get resources.

A deal is a deal.

Let me know when the troupe's ready to leave, Dr. Dranzel.

Can't wait to be rid of this place.

Should be ready soon, Kaylie.

Woof.

Take it easy on the partying.

Looks like you didn't sleep a wink.

Uh, hey, Pike, c-can I ask for some... priestly advice?

Uh... I guess. What's up?

Okay, uh,

say you just found out you had a-a puppy,

and you try to...

sleep with that puppy.

Please, God, tell me this is a metaphor.

Right. Listen up.

If we're going up against a dragon,

we need a good plan.

So... do you, uh...

- have one? - Have one what?

Perhaps I can be of assistance.

For starters, a dragon has an aerial advantage,

so it's vital we keep it grounded. Now,

I was thinking we implement Gersh's law...

of opposing forces and set a trap

that requires our enemy to activate.

Obviously, we would need a few fail-safes, but I

think if we had the proper materials,

here's how it could be done.

You can come out, Vex. I heard you four blocks ago.

Ugh, don't flatter yourself.

I wasn't the one making that racket.

Hi.

Uh, wow, you guys are good.

Am I really that loud?

So, care to tell us why you're sneaking out?

The Matron of Ravens.

She's in my head, calling.

So, I thought I'd try answering.

We'll come with you.

I put you in this place.

No one put me here,

and I need to find these answers on my own.

Do not go far from me.

Hello?

Strange.

I mean, the little I've heard about the Matron's

flock is super creepy.

They're into torture and starvation

and ceremonial flaying and enemas and...

Keyleth, stop.

When I get nervous, I... talk.

He's just been so closed off lately.

I know you have feelings for him.

Wow, yeah.

This isn't something we have to talk about now,

or... ever, honestly.

I know my brother, and...

I know he still cares for you.

You think?

Uh, I mean, maybe, but with of all this to deal with,

I mean, does that even matter?

It always matters.

Vex, what should I do?

Don't let him get away.

I don't understand.

Where do I...?

If there's some sort of pact between us,

I'm here to honor it.

What would you have of me?

Take the plunge.

Champion.

Vax'ildan.

You've come at last.

My sister lives.

That debt will be paid.

What do you want? My life?

My soul?

Or am I to be your puppet?

The Threads of Fate are not puppet strings.

They connect life to destiny.

You are fate-touched,

able to see and bend the threads around you.

Understand the wholeness

of what you serve, champion.

All the living share one experience:

death.

Your mother, your sister, even you.

We must safeguard that beautiful moment

when the soul transitions to a new purpose.

The souls I've been seeing,

you want me to shepherd them?

In a sense, yes.

Protecting the sanctity

between life and death.

That is our cause.

Your cause.

Do you accept this charge?

What choice do I have?

I accept.

You're afraid of dying.

- Of course I am. - Don't be.

I've been watching you longer than you know.

Recklessly drawn to your destiny,

like a flame.

My beautiful champion.

There is much to fear,

but not death.

For it gives meaning

to life.

She was always there, wasn't she?

Vax.

We were so worried about...

What the fuck?

I'm fine. I'm better than fine.

You are not fine. Whose blood is that?

I saw her. The path we're on,

it's the right one, and she's watching.

- But... - Let's head back.

- I'll explain on the way. - Okay.

And so, the addition of pressure

activates the coils of the cross post, which,

when coupled with the jaw hinge tension screw,

delivers the restraint,

anchoring the target to the baseplate.

Simplicity itself.

Uh... what?

You...

dig... there.

The digging isn't the important part. Here,

pay attention to how the trap will...

Son of a bitch!

He's not very smart, is he?

Grog.

- This belongs to you now. - Wh...

Kevdak's Bloodaxe?

May you wield it more honorably than my father.

Um, do you talk?

Nothing to say?

Phew. I'll take it.

Well, wagon's ready.

Kaylie, I...

Look, you don't have to talk to me.

Okay? I-I just wanted to say... I can change.

No more brothels.

- Ugh. - Oh, yeah, I-I know

that sounds super gross, but it's actually

a big step for me. I...

Wait, can you tell me where you're going?

As far from these dragons as we can.

- Maybe Ank'Harel. - In Marquet?

What do you care?

Look, something has always been lacking in me,

and I think you might be it.

I realize I'm not the dad you wanted,

but I could try to be.

After all the wrong you've done,

you'd have to do a hell of a lot right.

Well, at least take this back.

I don't want anything from you.

Everyone ready?

Okay, let's slay a dragon.

20 half-giants, three vestiges, and...

one Percy trap.

Why do I feel like that's not enough?

As long as Umbrasyl steps on the pressure plate...

it will work.

And if it doesn't?

Then all hell breaks loose.

Their smallest offering yet.

You are wise to not show your faces today.

Damn it.

Fire!

Keep the dragon down!

♪ Lightning in your face! ♪

Going somewhere?

Don't hold back! We've got him right where we...

My power cannot be contained.

That's new.

- Where'd he go? - Can't see shit. - I can't see.

To blood!

Damn it.

Shit.

Valentia!

Keyleth.

Nothing's working. Use the Titanstone Knuckles.

All right, let's do this.

Can't hit what you can't see.

But I can see you.

Scanlan.

You trying to get yourself killed?

Sorry, I just... I got shit to prove.

You?

I found out I'm the champion of the Matron of Ravens.

I found out I'm a father.

You win.

Okay, look, I got a plan, but it's fucking crazy.

Well, those are the best kind.

We need to get inside that dragon.

What? Inside?

Through a mouth full of acid? No way.

There is a way. The other way.

Got you.

Where are they going?

♪ Scanlan's hand! ♪

Oh, God.

I didn't actually think this would work.

Eh, it really shouldn't have.

Right, let's see this fucker try to fly away now.

You leave

He's down. Hit him with everything we got!

Ready?

You... cannot contain me.

You will not.

Scanlan.

Failures.

I have your vestige,

We can't let him get away.

Oh, no.
