Several years after Pavetta’s betrothal, Geralt and Jaskier discover a Djinn and accidentally release it. Initially it seems that Jaskier is the Djinn’s ‘master’ but then he falls seriously ill. Geralt seeks help from the nearest healer, the elf Chireadan, but as they need a mage to heal Jaskier, Chireadan reluctantly refers them to Yennefer. Although Yennefer cures Jaskier, her plan is to use him to capture the Djinn to grant her wish of regaining her fertility. As Jaskier uses his last wish, nothing happens and it’s revealed that it is Geralt, not Jaskier, who actually has the wishes. Geralt realises the Djinn will kill Yennefer, so he uses his third and final wish to save her (but the wish itself is not revealed). The Djinn leaves. Now free and safe, Geralt and Yennefer act on their attraction and have sex. Yennefer asks what his third wish was, but Geralt does not answer as he has finally fallen asleep. Cahir hires a doppler to assume the identity of Mousesack by copying his form and memories, then kills him. Later, Eithne allows Ciri to stay in Brokilon, but “Mousesack” arrives requesting Ciri and Dara leave with him.

It’s the season finale! With Cintra still engulfed in flames, the finale finds the Nilfgaardian forces continuing their murderous crusade. Yennefer and the other mages decide to join the fight, using all manner of magic to fortify Sodden Hill. unfortunately, the opposition has a few magical tricks of their own- courtesy of Fringilla- and the ensuing battle claims the lives of countless mages and human alike. but when hope seems lost, Tissaia gives Yennefer a game changing command: “let your chaos explode” and explode it does, eviscerating much of Cahir’s army with a massive fiery blast. and where is Geralt? the Witcher finds himself indisposed after a nasty scuffle with some undead creatures and is saved by a merchart. Durning his delirium from the monster bite, he has visions of his childhood, including the mother who abandoned him in the forest. Ciri finds shelter with a woman who turns out to be the wife of the merchant who rescued Geralt, leading the princess and the Witchers long awaited meeting in the forest. Then comes the last line of the season, spoken by Ciri: “Who is Yennefer?”
