Episode 2 recap

A saboteur sneaks into the apothecary and waters down Kyle's medicine. Kyle drinks it anyway and ignores the diluted taste. During the second trial, he leads thousands of soldiers through nine complex flag formations before an incense stick burns out. Kyle bleeds through his bandages, yet finishes without an error. He realizes someone tried to make him bleed out. Theron fumes over Kyle's victory, so Queen Selene promises to drop all subtlety next.

Episode 2 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: Sabotage in the Apothecary

    A hooded saboteur creeps into the royal apothecary under darkness. The royal physician sleeps at his station, completely unaware of the intruder. The infiltrator finds Kyle's prescribed medicine on the table and pours water into the mixture to dilute it.

  2. 00:14: Drinking the Diluted Tonic

    Kyle returns to his bedchamber and drinks the prepared tonic. He tastes that the medicine has been heavily watered down. Instead of investigating the altered drink, he dismisses the issue, lays down in his bed, and rests before the trial.

  3. 00:26: Flawless Battle Formations

    Kyle raises signal flags on the battlefield to direct thousands of soldiers through nine difficult formations. Red blood stains his fresh bandages as the incense timer burns down. He finishes every movement without mistakes, leaving King Draven completely stunned.

  4. 01:04: The Escalation Scheme

    Kyle looks at his stained bandages and deduces that someone intentionally sabotaged his tonic so he would bleed to death. On the viewing stand, Theron rages over his brother's success. Queen Selene promises to abandon subtlety in their next plot.
