'His Dark Materials' Season 2, Episode 7 Recap: "Æsahættr"

In last week's recap, I mentioned that the original plan for His Dark Materials Season 2 was to do eight episodes, the last of which was still unfinished as of the premiere date due to the coronavirus pandemic.

During the series' Comic Con at Home panel over the summer, the production said they wanted to finish the final episode and release it as a standalone at some point in the future. But with the arrival of  "Æsahættr", it seems that plan may have gone out the window, as the shot footage from that lost episode, featuring James McAvoy's Lord Asriel, turns up in this episode's closing moments instead.

John Parry: Argue with anything else. But do not argue with your true nature.
