#THE WITCHER SEASON 2 EPISODE 7 SERIES#

It’s a compelling dramatic choice to start Ciri’s timeline off here in episode one and have Geralt spend the entire season getting there, but in practice, it’s the reason that she spent most of the season treading water. It should have happened three or four episodes sooner. I’m excited about that, though I’m also disappointed that it took this long. We’re finally just about caught up in time for the last episode. A dying Calanthe wants Ciri remitted to the witcher’s care, but he has escaped. We’re back to the siege at the time that Calanthe is injured, and Mousesack’s magic fails (episode one), but we’re seeing it now from Geralt’s POV in the dungeon as well. Watching, Geralt knows he’s been had!Įist shows up and is willing to forsake the law of surprise, trapping Geralt to send him to the dungeon. Some shots of Cavill’s tightly leather-clad butt walking down the street, and we see a repeat of Ciri playing a street game with her urchin friends from The End’s Beginning, in which fake Ciri bids them farewell.

Geralt walks in on Calanthe explaining to a younger blond girl that is very much not Ciri that she must go with Geralt. I don’t think anybody smiled this entire episode.Ĭalanthe says she’ll submit to the Law of Surprise (as always, she’s lying). He also contradicts that by saying that he wants to take her for as long as Cintra is under threat from Nilfgaard and then bring her back once the danger has passed. He was heading back to check on Ciri but tells Calanthe that he might not have taken her if Calanthe had treated him more like a friend. Some assassins look an awful lot like knights from Cintra, so Geralt threatens Mousesack, who teleports them away back to Cintra so Geralt can confront Calanthe. Geralt meets with Mousesack, who tells him that Pavetta and Duny died at sea, and Calanthe has raised ciri. Geralt is watching the Nilfgaardian army march toward Cintra, which places us shortly before the attack on Cintra in the first episode (form Ciri’s point of view)-in other word’s, he’s not quite caught up to her, but is in the same general time. Spoilers below for episode seven of The Witcher. That sets the stage for the proper beginning of Before a Fall. Before she can actually do much of anything, however, the scene shifts back to Geralt, looking over a valley, watching an army march. We start with Ciri, alone, heading to Skellige.

In the first season of The Witcher’s penultimate episode, we’ve split back into three storylines. Other Witcher Episode Reviews: Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4, Episode 5, Episode 6īefore a Fall: Who Says You Can’t Go Back?
