Gandalf and Elrond come to terms with their own past mistakes while Aragorn reveals the lengths to which he\u2019s gone to repair the faults of Isildur. As the story continues to unfold, the truth becomes clear to all at the Council of Elrond: Frodo\u2019s ring is the One Ring cut from the hand of Sauron, and Gandalf isn\u2019t afraid to use strong words \u2014 in the Black Speech \u2014 to prove it. We meet Radagast (in flashback), get word nerdy on a rather condescending name for Hobbits, and look for eucatastrophes in our favorite non-Tolkien stories.
