Questions for the Audience:

1. What do you think Ye Huo thinks about all this? He’s essentially collateral during this whole scene, but he’s still here!


2. Relatedly, how concerned do you think Guo Changcheng might be about Chu Shuzhi’s loyalties during this sequence? (Chu Shuzhi obviously affirms his attachment to the SID/the Envoy by the end, but there's a decent chunk of time when Guo Changcheng could be worried before he does!)


3. Do you think Zhu Jiu’s recruitment speech has worked on other people?


4. How do you think things would have escalated if Zhao Yunlan hadn’t called right then?
