    In the 100th episode of PKFP we look back on some of our favorite moments from the show and then dive into a discussion on the last chapter of Cress.

    As Kai absorbs the news that Cinder is Princess Selene, he comes to the realization that there is more to be done to overthrow Levana. Before a plan can be formalized, a terrifying news alert shocks the rampion crew. Now Cinder has a new plan and a new title that will lead us into the final two books of the series.

    We finally get to see our girl, Scarlet! She is plagued by nightmares and living in a small cage in a menagerie as a 'pet' and her future is looking bleak. She is also missing a finger, underfed, and her living conditions are subpar, to say the least.

    Scarlet is visited in her cell, I mean cage, by the beautiful and strange Princess Winter. Winter comes to ask Scarlet for news of her friend, Jacin, but also has a surprise gift for her. Scarlet is hesitant to befriend Winter and even pushes her away, but Winter's gift may be the only comfort Scarlet has.

    As Levana learns of Kai’s kidnapping, she also finds out an old colleague is in the hospital. Levana and Dr. Erland have some catching up to do when Aimory enters with some interesting information about Sybil and who is responsible for kidnapping Kai.

Queen Levana’s fury is unmatched at the loss of Sybil, the reveal by Dr. Erland that Cinder is Selene, and Jacin’s claims of innocence and espionage.
