We also get to see Triss who, for whatever reasons, has flame-red hair now and scars on her body from Yen's fire spell. Istredd defends his old flame, not before Stregobor shows us his scarred stumps where his hands were burned off by Falka-or so he says.
He also compares her to Yen, saying that given the chance, Yen would burn down Aretuza and wreak havoc on the world. Meanwhile, Istredd contradicts Stregobor's story about a sorceress called Falka who wielded fire magic-she's one of the reasons it's forbidden, really. A normal father-daughter relationship with various bastard uncles, then. There's a turning point in their relationship here as Geralt realises he needs to push her harder, whereas Ciri is still struggling with the idea of perfectionism and letting others guide her. She keeps going and going until at the last jump, she falls, which Geralt notes. Lambert is only too happy to oblige and takes her to a training obstacle course where she's beaten and bruised by various bits of potentially deadly pendulums, sharp spinning objects, and wobbly platforms. Lambert mocks Ciri training with a stuffed dummy, and much like in previous episodes, she remains defiant and asks to be trained properly. They say their goodbyes and return to Kaer Morhen, where Ciri is training. I say rest, what I mean is: Wolves are going to come and eat him, because that's how badass the School of the Wolf is. They take Eskel to a cave to lay him to rest. He's spent considerable time dissecting him in the hope of finding a reason as to how this could have happened, but Geralt calls time on the investigation-not least because Lambert seems pretty pissed with what they've done. Vesemir and the rest of the Witchers are devastated at the loss of Eskel, who became a Leshy mutant.
