;Plot Summary
'''Kaladin'''
Elhokar charges up the stairs quickly, stringing out their small force. They encounter a platoon blocking the way. Elhokar tries to stir their memories of their king, trying to break them from the spell they seem to be under. They break ranks and retreat after hearing a voice. Syl reports that the queen is inside the royal chambers. They hear her singing and enter.
'''Shallan'''
Shallan approaches the wrong-looking purple heart. She tries to destroy it with her Shardblade, but it has no effect. She decides to try what she did before, and touches it with her hand. She is swept away.
'''Kaladin'''
The queen acts normally at first and says that Gavinor is off playing with friends. Syl tells Kaladin where he really is, in the room, and he heads that way. Elhokar tries to get the queen to come away with him from the evil influence in the palace, but she just calls him a fool. Meanwhile, Kaladin finds Gav huddling in a corner being attacked by strange red spren. He summons Syl and stabs one of them, killing it. Syl is amazed that they have killed a spren. The queen boasts of her "Radiants" in the palace and that she has bonded with ancient spren, something Gavilar hadn't discovered. Her eyes start glowing red. Elhokar gathers up his son and they flee the queen. She calls for her soldiers to attack.
'''Shallan'''
The spren implores Shallan to "give me your passion," and Shallan takes on many identities as the voices suggest different emotions. She hears Wit's voice tell her that she can be all of those people, and she screams to him for help. The darkness suddenly withdraws, and the enormous heart oozes away. Adolin and Azure prepare for the counter-assault with the army on the other end of the Oathgate. Shallan goes into the control room and sees a strange woman in the mirror. She introduces herself as Sja-anat.
'''Kaladin'''
Kaladin glows fiercely to try to hold back the queen's troops. It halts them momentarily, but they go forward again. Kaladin rushes down the steps and hears Parshendi singing. One of them Sah, his friend.
'''Shallan'''
Sja-anat insists that she is not Shallan's enemy and that she is no longer of Odium. But she was compelled to mess with the spren controlling the Oathgate, creating a trap. She begs Shallan to not activate the device.
'''Kaladin'''
Kaladin sees friends on both sides, fighting and killing each other. He loses the will to fight and yells at them to stop. He sinks to his knees, distraught, then remembers that he needs to get Elhokar out. He sees him holding his son and the sketch of him that Shallan had done. He haltingly starts to say the Words, but he is interrupted when Moash runs him through with a spear. He salutes Kaladin with the Bridge Four salute. The queen arrives surrounded by black smoke with strange crystal formations forming on her body. Drehy and Skar suddenly arrive and drive away the soldiers. Adolin pulls Kaladin away.
