Shadow and Bone Season 2 Episode 7 Summary

How does Kirigan strengthen his army?

First, we meet Kirigan’s new and improved army, led by three super-powered Grisha. Vatra, Nisho, and Fruzsi have all been boosted thanks to Baghra’s bones, which strengthen his army overall. They show Kirigan their new powers. He believes that they are now ready to fight Nikolai’s army.

Kirigan’s orders are simply to kill the new king, but he wants Mal to save for himself; they must not touch the tracker. Kirigan believes he can manipulate Mal himself. Despite this, Alina would rather die than sacrifice her beloved.

And that is true. The couple ponders their next move. Mal wants to get it over with; he sees no other way. However, Alina will try everything before killing Mal. Kirigan visits Mal in his dreams. He asks Mal to disappear, leave this life behind and start a new one somewhere else. However, Mal refuses to leave Alina’s side. He’s going to see this through to the end, no matter what. You must destroy the fold. Kirigan says Alina will be vulnerable if Mal doesn’t protect her. Mal believes she will have allies and an entire country to protect her when he is gone.

Nikolai explains his military plan to Alina, but her mind is elsewhere. He wants to send their strongest units to defend the orphanage in Keramzin. However, Alina wants to take on Kirigan and the Fold alone. She wants to get close enough to kill him herself without sacrificing soldiers or marks. Alina reveals that Mal is the Firebird. Nikolai comforts her while she cries. Alina returns Nikolai’s lucky compass and urges him to survive this fight for both of them.

What is Alina’s plan?

Faced with his mortality, Mal begins to think. He privately asks Nikolai to take care of Alina when he’s gone. Next, Alina talks to the leaders of the Second Army about their plan of attack. She has decided to send a mixed combat force to Keramzin with the First Army. They plan to ambush Kirigan’s army. However, Mal jumps in and suggests a different strategy. What if Mal and Alina fold while Kirigan is distracted? However, Alina refuses to sacrifice Mal’s life. Tamar has another idea; She could stop Mal’s heart for two minutes to give Alina enough time to destroy the crease.

Alina is ready to try anything. David interjects and explains that instead of sacrificing Mal’s entire body, they could use a fragment of Mal’s bone to fuse with Alina. Alina accepts the plan and with Tamars Help, Alina and Mal will enter the fold. Nikolai plans to go to Keramzin with them Dominik, Adrik, And Nadia. They all say goodbye and Nikolai sets sail on his flying ship, the Hummingbird.

What is Kirigan’s plan?

The flying ship passes the outskirts of the fold and heads for Keramzin. However, they are ambushed by Kirigan’s army; this was Kirigan’s plan all along – the Grisha attack, firing fireballs at the ship. The ship is hit and crashes. The enemy, Grisha, heads to the crash site to finish the job. Nikolai’s army retreats and heads for a nearby fortress, but many of his teammates are either dead or injured from the crash. Kirigan’s army pursues them through the wilderness.

Back at base, in the chapel, David begins to amputate Mal’s little finger. David is nervous and hesitates. Before he can continue, one of Kirigan’s shadow monsters attacks. The gang flees and runs away from this immortal enemy. Mal uses new phosphor orbs to fight back and they actually work against the shadow monster.

Who saves Mal and Alina?

During all this chaos, Kirigan silently enters the fold. He begins using his powers to expand the fold, which moves outward and engulfs the surrounding landscape. As the fold grows, the Volcra covers more ground, attacking and killing soldiers on the ground below. Alina and Mal are soon attacked by Shadow Monsters and Volcra alike. Inej however, appears to save the day by wielding the Neshyenyer Sword. She saves Mal and Alina’s life; The blade actually cuts through the shadow monsters. Inej joins them Zoya And Ninafound on a second flying ship.
