To kick things off in the opening scene, there is some good ol’ fashioned guy butt. A doppler (also known as a shape-shifter) looks like Buffalo Bill in the mirror. Nilfgaard has requested that he act as a double for them while they look for Ciri. Dopplers are mostly good-natured beings, and Geralt’s close ally Dudu, who is also the most notable Doppler in the lore of The Witcher, is a Doppler.
Another person is believed to have taken over as the head of the secret service in Novigrad; but, because he has been working to better the city, he has been left alone. However, the show makes a point to emphasize that this particular doppler is not like any other dopplers.
His doppler skills are top-notch. Take note of the silver coin that was displayed by the black knight who was responsible for Ciri’s loss at The Beginning of the End. The coin, like Geralt’s witcher sword, is made of silver.
The knight leads the doppler to a courtyard in a city designed in the Tudor style that is evocative of Vizima from The Witcher 3. (If that’s where they are, it would be a bit northeast of Brokilon Forest, while Cintra is just too it’s south—Of course, they don’t name it, so it’s possible that they were just using the look for inspiration, and that isn’t where they are intended to be.) Cintra is just to the south of Brokilon Forest.
They have brought Mousesack there for the doppler to dopple, which will also infuse him with all of the druid’s knowledge. The Nilfgaardians are responsible for this. After assuming his appearance, the doppler murders Mousesack, although, of course, actor Adam Levy will go on in the program as a sinister copy of his original character even though the doppler has killed him off. We also witness Fringilla, Yen’s classmate, who professes her devotion to “the white flame.” This is an alternative name for the Emhyr var Emreis, who is the Emperor of Nilfgaard.
\Dryads in Broccoli Forest are responsible for the deaths of several Nilfgaardian spies who were discovered there. The power that Ciri possesses causes concern for some of the dryads. The general, who seems to occupy an unneeded role in a group consisting of 12 individuals, want to get rid of her and close ranks, while Mama Amazon wants to keep her safe and educate her.
Even if they don’t speak it, other dryads comprehend English, which is incredibly useful for dramatic purposes even though they don’t speak it themselves. No mention of the magical light desert tree appeared in the last episode, nor is there any discussion of what Ciri discovered from it. Since the first handful of episodes, Ciri’s storyline has been going downward, and it is honestly boring at this stage in the series. Creators, why don’t you give the girl something to do?
