The episode of the numbers 2. Picking up where they left off in the last recording, and after seeing this episode's runtime and understanding why this is a two-parter, Akash and LittleWolfBird delve deeper into the propoganda of House of the Dragon S2E2 and tie ideas back to other well known media including Lord of the Rings 3 - The Return of the King, and the original A Song of Ice and Fire books, as well as the other show Game of Thrones.
