The Compass
Wren is in a difficult position when she’s questioned by the council. She knows that she’s the only one who can break out of this situation and so she must be careful not to incriminate herself. However, she also knows that if she doesn’t speak up, her friends and family will be in danger.
Meanwhile, Oloman heads into see Jerlamarel who is still struggling and remains dead-set on gaining his sight back. He implores his son to keep this development quiet to the Trivantians, who would clearly take advantage of him if they knew about his regained sight. ..
Haniwa is surprised to learn that her mother is a princess. It’s a pretty startling revelation for her, but one that helps to establish just where Maghra and Kane are holding up. Thanks to some markings on the wall, they learn she’s in Pennsa.
Baba Voss and Haniwa are attacked by a group of bandits. With things looking bleak, the gang are saved by a group of women, led by Paris. With Kofun on his way to Pennsa, Paris learns that Voss is working with the Witchfinder General. ..
The Compass is a secret society of guardians that helps sighted children during their early years. Membership is passed down from mother to daughter, and it is only revealed to those who are chosen by the group.
Jerlamarel is a sighted child who was able to access the archives thanks to a broken rule. He left because he realized that he could and did have power over others. Unfortunately, this power led him down a path of destruction, as he caused the loss of books and codes that were used by other Compass warriors.
In a bombshell revelation, Kane reveals that she has lost her baby to Maghra. Using this, and the threat of an uprising across the city, Maghra begrudgingly agrees to marry Lord Harlan. However, this will only be a formal engagement to quell the grumbling masses, when in reality they won’t be wed.
Maghra calls on Harlan to help find Baba Voss and Haniwa for the privilege. Harlan agrees, but Kane jumps on this news first and ousts them all in the council.
Meanwhile, Edo Voss shows up to see Jerlamarel. He’s convinced that the man is responsible for helping Baba Voss, demanding to know where Baba is. Edo learns that Baba has taken Jerlamarel’s sight, losing his effectiveness. And just like that, Edo slices his head off and turns to Oloman, claiming he needs a ahem clear head for what’s to come.
The Episode Review
The latest episode of See sees big changes afoot. With Jerlamarel now dead and Oloman taking over, Edo and his soldiers look set to pave the way for a big conflict on the horizon with Kane and Pennsa. Jerlamarel’s secret is out too and unfortunately this all ends in the worst way, with the man beheaded.
Meanwhile, Haniwa and Baba Voss learn more about the Compass group, which is a nice inclusion to the lore of this post-apocalyptic world. It also helps to shed more light on Paris and her history too, especially given Jerlamarel was the original gifted boy she was overseeing.
