Recap / His Dark Materials S 3 E 3 The Intention Craft

Lyra's dream about Roger concludes, and she determines to travel to the Land of the Dead to rescue him. Will wishes to obey his father's final request to take the Subtle Knife to Lord Asriel, leading them to argue. Will and Lyra ask Iorek to mend the Knife. Iorek is reluctant but agrees, with the process requiring Will to dispel doubt over his actions. Will succeeds by picturing Lyra, and, with the Knife repaired, agrees to travel with Lyra to the Land of the Dead before seeking Asriel. Will cuts into the world from Lyra's dream, and they follow the figures they find there, ignoring Pan's wariness. Meanwhile, Asriel's forces agree to work with the captured Mrs Coulter. She is given freedom of the camp, though she falsely claims knowing nothing about Will's Knife. Asriel discovers her deception and shows her the captured angel Alarbus as proof of the Authority's corruption. Combining the severing technology with his device to travel between worlds, Asriel slices Alarbus into pieces and sends him to the Authority's regent, Metatron, as a warning. Mrs Coulter slips away and escapes in Asriel's flying Intention Craft. Elsewhere, Dr Malone continues her journey, while MacPhail employs Dr Cooper.
