Nesta gives the ultimate Stair Master a whirl and fails miserably…in front of Cassian. Poor Azriel is subjected to the first of many awkward meals in the dining room. After a true struggle, Nesta joins Cassian again for training, i.e. sitting on a cold rock doing nothing. In an attempt to distract from her dark thoughts, Nesta enters a quaint store with a gorgeous and witty store owner, Emerie! Her day ends with some time in the library where she meets a feisty acolyte named Gwyn.
It is time to fight together.
As women who have a platform, we decided to speak out about how we are feeling. We discuss the events of today, things you need to know, and what you can do to be proactive. Women deserve the right to make decisions about their own bodies. It is not something the government needs to have a say in. This episode might not be for everyone, that is ok. But we chose to use this episode as a way to help make people aware and honestly, piece out how we are feeling. It is time to vote. Vote for the changes that we deserve.
This is a safe place. Feel free to reach out to us through the podcast account or Mads @LaceandLit - we are here for you. Whether you need a place to vent, a place to parce out how you are feeling, or if you want to know what you can do.
Vote.
XOXO, the ACOTARPodcast WOMEN.
Hollin returns. He’s terrible, truly terrible. Celaena goes on a date with Archer. We continue to drool over her closet. Chaol is clearly jealous. And oh wait, the King wants Archer dead.
Cassian begins his new role. He visits Jurian, Vassa and Lucien. And surprise, Eris is there! There is tension brewing, especially with our newly made, old, queen fae. And Beron, he’s up to no good.
Nesta stews on her mockery of Cassian and gets a bit angrier while chatting with Mor. Their discussion makes it crystal clear where they stand with each other, i.e at each other’s throats. Following the training disaster (or lack of training moment) at Windhaven, Nesta follows instructions (shocking!) to report to the library where she meets with Clotho. Let’s see if her time in the library is more productive then training was.
Cassian meets Mor at a nice little cafe to recover from his verbal battle with Nesta. His recovery is short-lived though since Mor drills him about Nesta, his new position and the loyalties of their human emissary. After that lovely chat, Cassian is subjected to a brutal breakfast with Nesta where his nutritional advice is largely ignored. His day doesn’t improve when it comes time for Nesta to start training. Mainly because she refuses…in front of EVERY SINGLE WARRIOR at the camp. Oof.
Celaena is stuck on guard duty while everyone else gets to enjoy some delicious food, including Dorian and Roland. Everyone has eyes on everyone else during this dinner. Celaena is staring at Dorian and Chaol, but mainly Chaol. Dorian is watching her. Chaol is watching Roland. It’s a mess. We have a brief interlude to discuss some classic 2000’s teen dramas. Go look up the song in our title. Seriously, go listen to it. After that, things take a darker turn as we finally see what has become of Kaltain.
After Nesta’s intervention, Cassian follows Rhys into his absolutely gorgeous study and they discuss Cassian’s work with the Illyrians. Thanks to Cassian’s success in avoid any rebellion, he gets a promotion! Yay, right? Wrong! Cassian is not thrilled with his latest task at all. Mor arrives to winnow Cassian and Nesta to the House of Wind but seems a bit upset. After Mor literally drops them off, Cassian and Nesta continue their verbal sparring all the way to Nesta’s door.
A sassy, bronze skeleton door knocker of all “people” is Celaena’s newest friend in the castle. To be honest, all three of us want our own Mort! After learning of yet another evil to conquer, Celaena grabs Chaol for some light stalking in the city. She tracks Archer down to a tea shop and proceeds to have a creepy exchange with him that makes Chaol’s blood boil. Archer’s personal questions bring up some terrible things from her past too so be prepared for those gut punches.
Welp, that could’ve gone better. We are back in the middle of Nesta’s intervention and she is taking it as well as you would expect. Amren lays out her options: (A) live at the House of Wind, train with Cassian and work in the library, or (B) live in the human world with Issac Hale. Option A it is! Also, Rhys’ odd shield over Feyre is mentioned for the first time and we all know what that means…. 🚨Spoiler warning for The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo at the 56th minute thanks to Caitlyn! 🚨
