The Queens finish out the fourth book in Ursula Le Guin's Earthsea Series, Tehanu. In this episode, both Queens are confronted with multiple reenactments of their literal nightmares.

We're following our favourite characters as they wield pitchforks, doctor up their enemies, and find themselves caught in a trap so tightly that only a dragon can save them. In other words, join the conclusion to this adventure as we finish out this instalment of the Earthsea Series, Tehanu by Ursula Le Guin.This episode wraps up with both Queens presenting their reviews of the novel, followed by a returning favourite game: It's Giving.
