This time on the Silent Sisters', covering the penultimate episode of the season "The Red Sowing", LIttleWolfBird and Blue_Lemons are joined by returning guest and lovable devil's advocate, Pat Sponaugle, and first timer and drink-mixer extraordinair, Sean Pink! In a shocking and unplanned start to the episode, Pat and Sean stage a coup, take over the show, and drive your High Heretics headfirst into a Criston Cole discussion. We learn that it's all Otto's fault, oh and did you know he was a feminist? Alicent takes a much needed vacation to the Kingswood with one of the last remaining King's Guar knights and we all want to join her. Aemond dismisses Aegon's bff's, sending them to the wall while Larys and Jasper consult each other on whether to give the Prince Consort some perhaps dubiously sourced and potentially unreliable information. Sean blows our minds about Larys encouraging Maester Orwyle in gaming the system plus, perhaps Targaryan's have magical healing powers, question mark? LittleWolfBird once again goes on to question Addam's parantage based on Corlys' behavior this episode however, she concedes that it doesn't have to be Laenor and everyone agrees: this dragon claiming plan wasn't well ... well planned. Pat teaches us how claiming a dragon is not unlike coming upon a bear in the woods and Sean declares that Targaryan's have steaks in their pockets. And LWB concludes the episode with a lesson on the timeline...again.
