After the devastation of what can only be considered two completely predictable betrayals, we return this week to the realm of Kelvorda with our questing queens in a rush to recover. Now immortal, Queen Inira has everything she needs for her war against the realms of the land. Monét cane out the gate with sense, talking Bob out of selling the runic bones, though the group seems to promptly forget about them afterwards.

Alaska came in the mood for two things: love and shopping! I’ve been dreaming of Aabria having a turn with the questing queen in a world like the Court of Fey & Flowers, and this simply left me craving that all the more. We’re also gifted the beauty of Qamir.

Unfortunately, when the questing queens hears his prices, Bob once again ignores Monét’s warnings, offering them up for trade. Infighting ensues, and Jujubee reveals her knowledge of Gaelic, asking for access to the bathroom to avoid dealing with the issue, but when she immediately returns, Brennan gives her kudos for the random bio break.

The sides of the table switched off. Monét and Alaska desperately tried to restrain the chaos which Bob and Jujubee brought to the episode. They were on the lookout for one-liners, punning and snacking without a care in the world. Some questionable flirting dragged Monét into the chaos, leaving Alaska trying to keep the group from getting in over their heads.

Despite refusing to use Suggestion earlier, Bob uses it on Asif to make him feel better about himself, and Twyla sings for him. Alaska barely keeps everyone in line to get them into the den of the Jade Vipers, but Bob pushes for the group to bet almost all of their limited funds on Aasiya defeating Karg.

Clearly nervous, Aasiya reaches for her ring, putting the boon the questing queens need into jeopardy. Twyla acts quickly, enlarging the princess. Monét fumbles and sends mud into Aasiya’s eyes, but Bob distracts him, allowing Aasiya to recover. When the queens announce Princess’s presence, Aasiya tries to throw Karg but only manages to tear off the war chief’s pants.

A desperate move by Twyla turns the tides, allowing Princess to act and win the duel for Karg without anyone knowing. Trebling their earnings, the queens run into Straven Mitzk, allowing them to seek her aid on the clockwork wings.

As the Jade Vipers descend upon Aasiya, Princess storms up, demanding they back off. The two get the chance to speak, and Aasiya admits she fell for Princess at first sight.

Inira intends to use the kraken to raise the sea. They could use the boon in Aasiya’s ring to stop that, but they hesitate in case of back-up plans. Brennan, caught in the chaos, has Nyruth lead them to a portal shop where the keeper trades in souls, but Nyruth tears the keeper’s spine out and creates a portal because he just loves the four queens.

Transporting into the ocean, they sneak into the castle, getting aid from servants to sneak into Aleksei’s room where papers prove that his family helped Zaria Hex, leading to the destruction of the original fae realm. If they can bring this information to Mysaara, they may be able to convince her to switch sides, and with her, the whole of any fae who followed her in her service to Inira.

They save Spoll and Roy, resting in a spellwork of frozen time before calling Duchess to warn her that there is a sigil hidden in the newly purchased Foehammer house which spells doom. The kraken rises, and Queen Inira goes to war.

Highlights

Jujubee must’ve been holding in the chaos those first three episodes. She did so well, thinking ahead and paying attention to the flow of the game, but we all knew the chaos train was coming.

Her pickle-flavored candy floss battering brought Brennan’s chaotic gremlin side out, leading to Qamir proclaiming it looked like his father. Really puts the French name for cotton candy (i.e. daddy’s beard) into new perspective.

Final Score (4 out of 5 Stars)

Absolute chaos. They manage to get away with some progress, but the road there is an absolutely tangled one. At one point, I switched to half speed just to catch everything that was happening and accidentally switched to twice speed. That was an experience I’d highly suggest just for the hilarity, but with so much happening and randomness levels higher than ever, it’s a rollercoaster ride.

I have some hope for next week as our heroes did well in the prior combat-heavy episode while saving Mophandrix, but with the chaos brewing, there’s no way of telling.
