Brienne returns to Maidenpool and has a few reunions with folks from the late King Renly's camp. Like many reunions, her meetings with Hyle Hunt and Randyll Tarly are unpleasant. But it's not cause for getting crabby: That happens later with the entrance of Nimble Dick Crabb.

Brienne continues her adventure, learning a history lesson about Duskendale and its extinct houses. She gets her shield repainted to a very familiar image: a shooting star at sunset above an elm tree. After, she adopts a kid.

It's all about intentions—from those of the knife's unseen tip to Asriel's new vehicle to those of our heroes (and ambiguous villains). As the knife is mended, Iorek, Will, and Lyra begin to express doubts while Mrs. Coulter gives the performance of a lifetime.

Where there's a will, there's a way—whether that's a way to get back to the North or secure the Northern succession, that is. Although, it seems the way to the Twins is quite rainy, delayed, and full of time for plotting. Lady Gwyn of Radio Westeros joins us to help break down the implications of Robb's will, Jon's parentage, and the rise and fall of Catelyn's hopes.

Due to some personal life updates, we're experiencing a few production delays—but that just means all of you get bonus episodes! Our regularly scheduled episode for The Amber Spyglass will be delayed a few days, for release between September 26-28, but until then, please enjoy this special episode brought to you by The Dust Podcast (check out their links below!) and our patrons.
When season/series 2 of the His Dark Materials show ended, we joined our good friends Matt (Double M) and Holly of The Dust Podcast to dissect some of our favorite musical moments in the show and what makes the music of His Dark Materials so good. This episode, though, is just a snippet, a taste of the sort of musical analysis and story analysis that you can get regularly from The Dust, so be sure to check them out and subscribe to them.

It's all downhill from here: We start on Catelyn's ASOS chapters, and they're real sad. Like very, very sad. It only gets sadder. This episode we get sad about Cat and Lysa's girlhoods and agency over women and girl's bodies.

Catelyn receives news about the (alleged) death of her sons. Manaro of ManaroGeek TV joins us for a tour of the sex dungeon to examine Catelyn's grief and how it changes her. While down there, Catelyn mourns by seeking answers and shooting the shit with Jaime Lannister—with a dash of hate-flirting, maybe.
There are shit jokes. Be warned. This is a shitty filled chapter.
