## Resource

Roran becomes the center of attention. Darien and Lucy witness some small town drama in Eldest chapter 21, “Wounds of the Past,” and chapter 22, “Wounds of the Present.” Talking points include the masterfully crafted tension, Sloan being completely out of line, Roran's Big Announcement, Katrina making a choice, taking a sip of tea every time the word “Inheritance” is mentioned, and Darien’s plea to brew your tea properly. Content Warning: This episode includes mentions of cannibalism and domestic violence. Sparks of Inspiration Darien raves about Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle. Lucy rekindles her joy of Lord of the Rings with Tales of the Shire.
