Lucy and Darien suffer major second-hand embarrassment in Eldest chapter 46, “The Beginning of Wisdom,” and Chapter 47, “Broken Egg and Scattered Nest.” Talking points include Eragon promising to be cool with Arya from now on, Arya revealing herself to a basic bitch (affectionate), a last-minute arts and crafts assignment, some deep dragon lore, the hosts doubling down on how it would be cooler/make more sense for all Riders to look like their dragons, Saphira experiencing the brutal sting of rejection, and the looming threat of the next set of chapters. Content Warning: This episode contains mention of child death. Sparks of Inspiration Darien fell in love with Bea Fitzgerald’s The End Crowns All. Lucy is (was) so happy with the increase in sunlight hours.
