This episode is directed by Imogen Waterhouse, actress, queen, and now director! At the Nightshade Inn, Janzo serves drinks to the victors, Gwynn celebrates with a quiet Tobin. Then, Falista enters, and of course reveals that she is married to Tobin. We found out at the last moment of the previous episode that the zinj has chosen her. At Janzo’s lab, Wren is working on solving the zinj problem, he worries that she is mad at him. This is really a Wren episode. Janzo tries to reassure Wren. Gwynn is angry at Tobin’s marriage. He admits that most of the army has left for Yovanna. She tells him to leave. He wasn’t too bright in hiding the truth. Gwynn is given a crown as Queen Rosmund. She shows the brutal soldiers Two and explains that she was part of the Three, the other one has ran away. Zed says they should be killed. Gwynn has them pledge their loyalty to be pardoned. Garret agrees with her decision. She wants the soldiers to fight against Yovalla and they vow their loyalty. Gwynn has always been forgiving and whatever the consequences of her decision, she knows that she has acting as a queen.

Garret takes Two to the prison with Talon who speaks to her. Two notes that Talon, whom she calls Blackblood, brought Yovalla. Talon slams her against the prison bars. She brings up the seventh zinj, the Black Zinj, that kills anyone and explains that the Three searched for years for it. It looks like Talon is going to search for it to destroy Yovalla. Two warns that the death zinj will kill Talon and everyone she knows. At the prison, a man is taken in by guards so they can free Two. She drains the life of a person to revive a fallen soldier. Queen Gwynn is at her fireplace and meets with Talon. They have a laugh over her killing by Talon. It is nice to have a light moment between the two friends. At the gate, Two and her Red Guard soldiers get to the door and leave the Outpost. Zed wants to hunt them down. Queen Rosmund has Zed and his men stay at the Outpost. At the lab, Wren is experimenting when Zed enters. She is tirelessly searching for the zinj cure. Zed angrily wants to know where is Yovalla. Wren sends him away.
Lightning storms over the Outpost. Gwynn has fitful dreams of things she has seen under the zinj. She has seen a hill that might be where Yovalla is hiding! At the throne room, Gwynn assembles everyone about the dream that Tobin shares. Tobin knows that it is a pilgrimmage to the mountains. Tobin and Garret want to join the group to find Yovalla. Gwynn puts them in charge of the Outpost’s defense. Janzo sees Wren asleep at the lab. He starts to fill up a canister, another bomb. Wren wakes up with a splotch of red on her face. Morning, Janzo gives the bomb to Talon walking with Zed. Wren is working again to try to save her mothers life. He tells her that the group has left. Tobin meets with Gwynn when a messenger says the food stores are running out. Munt is moping the tavern when Falista pours a bucket of water on the sleeping Tobin. He has returned to drinking and Falista is angry at him using her zinj power to inflict pain. She is just beginning to come into her power so this may become important later.

Janzo opens the box to find a parchment and he has tasted the seal. Wren suspects it’s an antidote. He shows her a text that shows a sap. They use the seal to distill the sap, Wren kisses Janzo, and they run off with the needle of sap. Janzo and Wren find a prisoner tied up and infected by the zinj. He injects the needle and the zinj falls out. They found the solution! Janzo and Wren prepare for a journey with Janzo making excuses and goes to get Munt. At a forest is the pilgrims, it reminds me of the followers of Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian (1982), they are watched by Zed and Talon. They take up thier packs to follow the pilgrims. Garret sets up forces to go out and find food with Gwynn. They talk about their past relationship. A captain reports that Tobin, Falista, and their army has left the Outpost. He notes that Janzo and Wren are about to leave. The series seems to be balanced with good natured people like Munt, warriors, and also the balance of having scientists like Janzo and Wren.
Gwynn and Garret meet with them. They take along Munt with his hammer. In the forest, Zed and Talon are walking, they hear the chanting of the pilgrims. Talon suspects the delay is because of Yovalla. Wren, Munt, and Janzo reach a village. She announces that she is a daughter of Yovalla. A man goes to meet Wren. She speaks to the man communicating with her mother. They follow the man to reach Yovalla. In the forest, they are ambushed by Red Guards. They are being watched by a hawk controlled by Yovalla. They reach the pilgrims and find a temple. Everyone turns to hail them and then open a path to the temple! The strange part is that Talon and Zed’s quest to kill Yovalla. They ignore and don’t even talk to Janzo and Wren about their plan to find a cure. This is unusual since Talon put faith in Janzo to cure the Plaguelings. This show becomes interesting, there are developing relationships, threats that are ongoing, and enough complications to keep the series interesting!
Four Zinjes out of Five!
