After a routine stop at an inn, both Richard and Kahlan start having alternating moments of uncharacteristic behavior. Can they find out the cause before Zeddicus returns or Darken Rahl's minions catch them?
S01EP18 - "Mirror"; Kahlan's facial expressions when she realises what Richard has been doing with one of the other female characters is priceless - her reaction is beautifully acted.
However, all is not what it seems! An enjoyable story of identity and deception. The actors who play "Richard" and "Kahlan" take advantage of the opportunity to show different sides of their characters and hilarity ensues. They are able to play outside the norms of their characters - and get one over on the solitary Mord'Sith.
An entertaining episode, just the right side of parody, making much of the "identity-swap" trope. I enjoyed watching this light-hearted episode. Having come across this (2008-2010 vintage) "sword & sorcery" adventure in early 2018, I regard the series as being a cut above the run-of-the-mill similar series.
