Key Lines from Episode 4

“Surrender the warmth of your humanity. You shall bear the Frost Curse for eternity— Never again to feel any warmth in this world. Sever this thread of weakness. Then the pact will be sealed.”

The Norns · The hooded weavers state the price before Astrid agrees to the dark resurrection pact.

“Warmth? I felt no warmth the moment they poured the poison down my throat.”

Astrid · Astrid answers the Norns right before snapping the thread of her own humanity.

“The bargain is struck. Go now— and tear those false masks to shreds.”

The Norns · The weavers send Astrid back to the living world after the pact is sealed.

How Episode 4 Ends

The episode ends across the northern plains as the ancient runic seal breaks apart under cracking ice. Crimson flames burst outward, sending a massive red pillar of light roaring into the stormy sky. Where will Astrid emerge when this red beacon clears, and who will be waiting on the ice when she arrives?
