Without communication, in different rooms, possibly on different continents.

Impressions:

This is what happens when you set out to make a mess of an episode. Mission goddamned successful. It’s more like two ten minute episodes haphazardly slapped together, except that one of them is half an episode. I can’t even fathom what the werewolf crap was about. The only duty it served was to add an extra two minutes to the run time and make the episode more inane by being utterly unimportant to anything and could have just as easily been replaced by bandits, disease, or hell, regular wolves. Kind of like the big woman at the start. Here I am! Eating up screen time! I’m definitely going to be som–oh wait, time’s up. Now I disappear.

You’d think from the first half where he’s embarrassed by the obligatory evil/powered by the darkness knight, that it might be about overcoming that or something. Instead, he somehow ends up in the village in the sticks where some random guy drugs him to have a dream about werewolves and gives him amnesia to… I’m not entirely clear on the exact goal of the plan here since apparently it was very easy to shake off the drug’s effects. Now pay attention, because around here is where it gets weird. The kid he was using Leo to replace was actually sold to slavers, but fought back and came home, and is currently in hiding in plain sight in the village in a clown mask, regularly delivering children to be sold into slavery. Nobody questions the pied piper marching up with a bunch of kids and them going into the church to never return, so it’s presumably this isn’t the first time he’s done so. Oh, and he’s secretly a magic dog. Which is immediately killed as soon as they bother to fight, obviously.  

Next Episode:

Whatever dad was up to while that… mess… was playing out.
