Episode notes
Spy Evidence from Memory

- This subtle clue indicates a spy actively communicating with Marais aboard the barge.
Veil as Possible Double Agent
- Veil might be the spy, acting as a double agent balancing loyalty and secrecy.
- This complexity keeps suspicion open between Shallan's multiple personalities and the others on the expedition.
Shallan’s Unique Memory Power
- Only Shallan can take memory snapshots; Veil and Brightness lack this ability.
