Welcome back to Cauldron Save Us, where your favorite duo Ariel and Corryn finally drop the act; we’ve been playing our spoiler-free listeners HARD. We’re covering Chapters 37 and 38 of A Court of Thorns and Roses and talking about how Rhysand is NOT the villain we pretended he was, but rather, how much of a hero he actually is.
We break down the infamous bargain scene and why Rhys “twisting” Feyre’s injured arm is actually a life-saving power move that also keeps Amarantha from getting suspicious. We also rant about the fan theories suggesting Rhys is still secretly a bad guy (we’ve got notes and we’re not afraid to use them), and dig into the complexities of Feyre’s repeated “My High Lord” references to Tamlin (yikes!)
Things get spicy with a big reveal: Rhys finally shows Feyre his wings, we get the very first “Feyre darling” (swoon), and we debate whether her Night Court chore was actually a test… for him. Plus, a MASSIVE theory drop: could Tamlin have been helping Feyre Under the Mountain all along?
Whether you’re here for the theories, the fan debates, or just to scream about Daemati-level telepathy between Ariel and Corryn–you’re welcome and we’re sorry.
