About this episode

The episode explores themes of loyalty, trauma, and supernatural elements through a narrative involving a fictional war saga.

Chaz, Wolfy, Scott, Corey, and special guest Heath McCoy return once more to the crumbling, smoke-covered battlefield of  Regarding Music from The Elder —this time under the banner of  “The Oath.” And fittingly, absolutely nobody emerges emotionally intact.

Scott unveils the latest section of the ever-mutating  Elder  screenplay project, pushing the story fully into dark fantasy opera territory as Mr. Blackwell unleashes absolute devastation across the battlefield while Corey—bloodied, broken, and spiritually unraveling—comes face to face with the horrifying realization that maybe the Order of the Rose isn’t quite the noble institution everybody hoped it was.
