This has to be one of my favourite episodes, even with the hammer-us-over-the-head true love shtick (if only the writers would employ subtlety the Richard/Kahlan relationship might actually be interesting).
I loved Cara's defence of Kahlan. I find it interesting that she is with Richard because he's Lord Rahl but she respects and trusts Kahlan because of her actions. Plus, you know, totally wanting to jump her bones.
Kahlan's dive was fantastic and I loved her look of 'Oh, isn't she sweet, I knew she had changed, which means it's okay to have secret lusty thoughts about her' to Cara after she'd apologised to her sister.
The Cara/Kahlan shipper in me danced merrily at this episode.
I felt a little sorry for Denee getting stuck with babysitting when you could tell she was itching to get out and kick some butt (mostly Cara's). So I hope they bring her back. Actually, they should have Denna use some magic mojo on her, then the two of them could team up against Cara and Kahlan, and we could have a Confessor/Mord'Sith dream teams grudge match.
Denna was her usual badass self and I get the feeling, now she knows Cara is travelling with them, that she'll employ some secret Mord'Sith ritual or other to turn Cara to her ways and seduce her to the white-leather side. I kind of wish they'd made Richard a little tempted by what was on offer, not to rock the Richard/Kahlan boat, but to show that he's a bit more human/feisty.
I think the Rahl boys should get to spend more time together, because they obviously have issues that need to be resolved *g*.
There's something about Richard's physique that puts me in mind of a little boy, which robs it of its power, whereas Darken Rahl's arms are rather gorgeous.
