EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at episode 187 of 203, this follows 'Bewitching Mist,' where Daemon Spade trapped the group inside layered illusions, and escalates the psychological stakes by turning those illusions inward. As a filler episode, it expands on the confrontation without moving the canonical storyline forward, but it directly bridges into 'Primo's Will,' where the fallout of Daemon's schemes takes on larger narrative significance. Viewers pushing through the final stretch of the series will find this a thematically consistent detour rather than a disruptive one.
