About this episode

The episode reflects on the themes of hope and beauty in the face of darkness, inspired by a passage from 'The Return of the King'.

"Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach." –The Return of the King
