Glass Fleet Episode 18: Like a Lion

EPISODE CONTEXT

Positioned between 'Like Flight' (Episode 17) and 'Like a Royal Road' (Episode 19), this episode occupies a critical stretch of the final act, where the series is narrowing its focus and raising the personal and political stakes for every major player. Whatever momentum Episode 17 built — whether through action or revelation — Episode 18 appears designed to deepen it, pressing characters like Michel and Cleo further into defining choices. 'Like a Royal Road' ahead suggests a shift toward grander, more decisive territory, making this episode the likely pressure point that forces that reckoning.
