Cold open[]
Ilena continues teaching Clare the Quicksword.[7]
Fit for battle[]
Clare's limits[]
Nearly sunset. Clare falls to her knees, exhausted. Ilena warn her not to overextend herself. She orders Clare to take a bath.[8]
Hidden valley[]
Night. As Clare bathes in a lake, she notes how well hidden Ilena's home is. She puts on a shirt and leggings from Ilena's old uniform and joins Ilena at the campfire. Ilena notices how well her old clothing fits Clare. The two women have a heart-to-heart talk.[9]
Ilena speaks[]
Ilena observes that Clare thinks Teresa's death is Clare's fault. Ilena agrees with this—Teresa's resolve as a warrior declined after meeting Clare. Teresa could have killed Priscilla, but Teresa was no longer fit for battle.[10]
But Ilena adds she thinks Teresa was happy before she died. She advises Clare to stay alive, since Clare is the only proof that Teresa ever lived.[11]
Parting gift[]
Another day of practice. After a minute, Clare again falls her knees, exhausted. [12]
She also notes Clare's paradox: "You already appear calm on the surface, but your real heart is a whirlpool of passion."[13]
Ilena realizes Clare will never master the Quicksword in her condition. She commands Clare to stand up. She cuts off the stump of Clare's missing arm.[14] Then Ilena cuts off her remaining arm. She orders Clare to attach it to the open stump.[15]
Prepping Clare for a new arm
After hesitating, Clare attaches Ilena's arm. She promises Ilena to return the borrowed arm someday.[16]
Rafaela[]
Clare has gone. Ilena stands outside, gazing into the mountains. Warrior No. 5, Rafaela approaches from behind. Rafaela tells Ilena that the Organization has ordered her executed for desertion.[17]
Interruption[]
Clare travels though the forest. She senses something sudden in Ilena's arm.[18] But a loud commotion interrupts her thoughts.[19]
Additional details[]
Notes[]
- Artistic license is taken with Ilena's clothes perfectly fitting Clare, since Clare's height is 170cm (5ft 6.92in)[20]
- Ilena's height is 180cm (5ft 10.86in),[21] the same height as Teresa
- Ilena is a "Never Found the Body" candidate and may again return as a "Back from the Dead" character
