Maybe I only rank this a bit higher because Jaskier was in it, but it is nice to see him again either way.
I do also like what seems to be building up with the king of Redania, and what Triss adds to Geralt and Ciri's plotline (even if both of them themselves are still quite dull), but if you took Jaskier out of Yennefer's part of this episode, suddenly it doesn't look all that good anymore.
Fortunately, he is in Yennefer's part of the episode, but someone who's also there is those two people in the sewer, one of which is dropped in an almost comic way, and the other adds almost nothing to anything.
So, you know...certainly better than the last episode, but...eh, also certainly still not exactly lighting Netflix on fire.
