S5 E16: Façade

Locked in cells, Amara and Rou quickly realize the mysterious prisoner is one of the Sultan’s spies. Their equipment and weapons have been confiscated, although the contents of Amara’s gauntlets have been spared. She takes one of the tools out and attempts to pick the lock, but fails. Dassana offers to do the same with one of her hairpins but also finds she is unable to free herself. When the spy, named Anaan, shares that only one guard comes down for feeding time, the group hatches a plan to attack the guard, grab the keys and escape. Meanwhile, Trix continues to clean under Faerlin’s watchful gaze. When Trix asks how long he plans to stay, Faerlin admits they’re surprised Trix didn’t already know. He shares that “The Dragon” often visits all the locations to make sure everything is as it should be and things are progressing according to plan. Dawn arrives and Faerlin escorts to the entryway to greet “The Dragon” and his retinue. What Trix sees before them is an Adar-Kai with regal bearing, a human with slightly yellowed skin and balding pate, surrounded by more than a dozen armed guards.
