Almas’ episodes are memorable. They include exciting and important moments like the Crows’ attempted kidnapping of Alina (Jessie Mei Li) at the Little Palace as well as the aftermath of that attempt when everyone flees The Darkling’s wrath. There are several pivotal scenes during those two hours of television, including the one where Inej (Amita Suman) kills someone for the first time in order to save Kaz’s (Freddy Carter) life.
