There is something that brought her here, as Vilgefortz earlier detected, but we are unsure what, as Yennefer declined to answer. Up to this point, our ever angsty Yenn seemed completely detached from this whole war thing. She kept their family farm running after her husband died and it was all destroyed, everything she’d ever known or had. She says she can’t, and tells Yenn her about her personal run-ins with the Nilfgaardians. Yennefer suggests that she go down and enjoy herself. The woman shares that they wanted more fletching, but the roads were blocked by Nilfgaard. She runs into a woman who seems as sullen as she. Yennefer finds herself walking on the battlements looking down at the seemingly carefree people. They do battle preparations into the evening where everyone settles down and unwinds to some ale and good conversation. The man states he does, “With help.” So the people and the mages then busy themselves preparing bombs, spells, fletching arrows and more. “You still believe it can be saved?” Triss asks. He quips back that there is no where else. She tells him to take everyone and hide before Nilfgaard comes.
“Or stupid.” our diplomatic Yennefer states. The man passionately states it has to be held. All of them had been affected by the terrors of Nilfgaard. They are met by a man who walks them through the encampments of vagabonds who settled there. The boat lands, and as they march towards the keep, the important bit of information we get is, “hold Sodden, save the continent.” Seems simple enough. The goal is to hold the fort while they wait for back ups from Temeria and Kaewyn. We discover that Sodden is the only way north and there is an old elven keep that guards it. Tissaia, Vilgefortz, Yennefer and Triss are having a conversation about strategy. Yennefer is in a rowboat with 60 (or so) mages heading towards Sodden. With this our little nomad hops out of bed, dresses herself, and then runs off into the woods. Ciri snaps awake and has a vision of Calanthe saying, “Go. She sees an increasingly frantic Tissaia yelling “Yennefer!” as well as a frantic Geralt yelling the same. Ciri drifts off into a dream where she sees a rather bleak battlefield smoldering with embers. She confides that she feels Ciri was brought to her for a reason and then tells her to go to sleep.
The woman comes to tuck her in and states that she has had everything in life that she’s ever needed or wanted everything except a daughter.
Unaffected by what’s going on in the warzone, Ciri is snuggled up a little awkwardly in bed. Their conversation ends abruptly when they hear explosions in the air. Now at the woman’s farm she has a brief conversation with the farmer's son and the woman. “They got what they deserved,” the woman says, “you’re safe now.” As she and Ciri walk off to head home the camera pans away and we see the mass devastation caused by our Cirilla. You see by her terrified eyes that she knows what happened and how it happened. Ciri, noticing her “friends” impaled on trees states, “They came for me.” In a shaky voice. She stands up, the woman asks, “What happened?”. Ciri looks around, sees everything flattened, the horse bloodied and dead. A familiar face, the woman who wanted her to come home with her, lays a hand on her shoulder. Cirilla lays on the ground waking up from whatever that craziness happened at the end of the last episode.
