Every argument doubles as a comedy routine, and Canute plays the straight man beautifully. The flashbacks are back, like an uncle who tells the same story at every dinner. Eadric enters the story, and the cast list gets a little more dangerous. The line of the week goes to "And besides, I have other reasons for coming all the way to the front.", which deserves to be embroidered on a cushion. A low point, but every series is allowed one.
