DeepSummary
The podcast episode opens with a warning about a discussion of grooming and triggers. The group then engages in an extended role-playing session as they attempt to gain access to an ice tower to rescue a family. They encounter and battle an ice dragon guarding the tower. As they gain the upper hand, the dragon is revealed to be possessed by a being called the 'mirror man' who has stolen aspects of their identities and memories. The being escapes on the dragon to hunt down the group's loved ones.
Despite their failure, the group rescues the trapped family consisting of a woman named Lauren and her two children. Lauren explains her backstory with her husband Krujian, detailing how he created an army that led to many deaths before realizing his mistake. She has been separated from him for decades due to his unilateral decisions. As they travel, Lauren cools at the mention of reuniting with Krujian.
Unbeknownst to the others, Freya/Belloc experiences visions during the battle, seeing potential past lives or alternate realities involving powerful beings. As the ship passes over a city, each character sees it differently based on their desires. Ultimately, Freya mysteriously vanishes from the ship as they admire the view.
