In this episode, the opening is impeccable and beyond reproach. We discuss the world’s worst kidnapping attempt, the spiritual burden of turning 30, and the deeply mysterious role of Dominique. Also in this episode: Lohengramm’s slow descent into tyranny, Yang Wenli’s existential crisis over a bottle of brandy, and the most unintentionally hilarious animation choices of the season.

Plus: secret tunnels, anime shock edits, and a brief but passionate debate about putting ice in wine. The galaxy edges closer to war—again!
