What happens and why it matters
Temporary alliances form under pressure, with Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji forced to read each other through danger instead of rules.
PopRot’s read is that the episode works because every supernatural incident doubles as character pressure: rules reveal values, resentful energy exposes old wounds, and clan hierarchy decides who gets believed.
