As promised - this week there was just TOO MUCH to put in a main feed episode. The Unkindness episode was really, really long. This 10-minute tangent was added after the Queen of England died last week and her son, Charles, ascended to the throne, assuming the name "King Charles III", but then promptly had to cut because of time. Also, it didn't fit as well as I had hoped, and I wanted to get to the buffet menu for the ravens.

So, we look at what legacy he's looking to satisfy by taking the name Charles III (eeek, it's not great), and a little more tie-in to Charles' tie-in to environmental issues.
