Zariya Hollow: S2Ep06 – The Ghost in the Opera House (Chapter 5, Part 3)
Erik’s journey unfolds like a symphony of darkness, each movement steeped in the tragedies and triumphs that shaped him. From distant courts drenched in opulence and betrayal, to shadowed corridors where the weight of genius met the cruelty of empires, his path winds through treacherous lands and relentless trials. In each place, he carved beauty from chaos, but at an unspeakable cost.
As the story nears its end, we return to the Paris Opera, where echoes of Erik’s long and haunted journey reverberate through the very foundations. Love and longing clash with despair and vengeance, culminating in a finale where no choice is without consequence. Erik’s legacy, as both a creator and destroyer, demands one final reckoning, and the masks—both literal and metaphorical—must finally fall.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
