This isn't what I would call a ship episode at all I'm afraid. I'm not sure where the rumour that it is has come from, but from reading the comments left here so far I think it's best to say that now than let the arwen supporters be deeply disappointed come Sat.
Great to see Smirkgana back, she and Gwen are great together as always, I miss their friendship that they had early on in the show. And the knights have more screen time too; this feels a bit more like a quest episode that we would get in a more traditional telling of the story, which is one of the things I would love to see more of in this version too.
