The Pellet with the Poison in the Vessel with the Pestle

Rian and Deet search for the other half of the Dual Glaive. A lot of people see them as a couple but I don't. I think their relationship is purely platonic.

Brea is captured by the Skeksis and finally learns their true nature despite the fact that skekOk cackled evilly while she was on a carriage ride with him and skekLach, not to mention the fact that skekVar killed her mother. skekOk even says she should have seen it long ago. The Scroll-Keeper's capitalist position is convenient to him, as any Gelfling who would have told Brea that would have sounded like a "condescending leftist".

The reason for the Court Jester joke is that skekSil got the Gruenaks to pour a thin liquid into an essence vial to get back at skekVar for insulting him and getting him demoted.

Well, at least something went right for skekTek for once, even though the moment doesn't last long. I don't condone his actions, but I do feel sorry for him and I'm rooting for the satisfaction he's getting after skekVar has belittled him so many times.

I like how the Arathim talk like the Helping Hands from 'Labyrinth'.
