EPISODE REVIEWS

This episode is where the season's central mystery begins to take shape and the fact that someone might be targeting pregnant consorts is a terrifying prospect, and the show's subtle approach makes it even more chilling. Maomao's new friendship with Shisui is great she finally has someone besides Xiaolan to share her weird interests with and the scene where she sniffs all the clothes is peak Maomao chaos.

Episode Context

As the second episode of twenty-four, 'Caravan' builds on the season premiere's reestablishment of Maomao's role by introducing external threats to the palace's carefully controlled environment. It functions as a critical setup piece, seeding mysteries and complications that will escalate directly into episode three, 'Corpse Fungus,' where Maomao's investigative abilities face a more urgent test. This early stretch of the season is clearly laying groundwork, using outside influences to destabilize the status quo and give Maomao new problems only she can solve.
