The next step in a very long journey down the river has arrived!
Coram van Texel pays a visit to learn about the alethiometer and current events then gets paid another visit out on the street, ending in a scuffle. Malcolm also learns about the alethiometer while making the acquaintance of scholar Hannah Relf - but most importantly, Jesper.
Please note that unlike the His Dark Materials episodes, La Belle Sauvage episodes will be spoilers all with the exception of The Secret Commonwealth.

After doing the unthinkable in splitting a chapter to make two episodes, we follow Davos for another unthinkable moment: a baby shower. But it's not just any baby shower as watches a shadow in the shape of his king born while Davos feels himself die just a little on the inside.

Setting sail (again) with a new POV, this time it's the Onion Knight: Davos Seaworth. From the start, Davos's chapters set the tone for a story of sacrifice, faith, and the burning of old systems.

Another chapter, another Kingsguard flung to another place that is not King's Landing. Arys Oakheart is fighting a battle within himself, deciding how and whether to use the sword in his hand and the one in his pants.
