might have a theory for why Gold came to see the Tsaritsa
Gold herself says, “In all this time, I’ve had no great ambition to recover my stolen morsel.” So originally, she apparently wasn’t particularly interested in getting it back
But then she says, “But if it were used to extract life… Or even defy death… It would be a grave transgression.”
This makes me think something changed. Gold may have learned that her stolen morsel was being used for a purpose involving life and death, potentially even to challenge Ronova, the Ruler of Death. That could be why she suddenly decides that she needs to recover it
What makes this even more interesting is that we can see the stolen morsels in the background of the bank, while Vesna appears to be doing something with them, possibly using them for some kind of experiment or process
So maybe the reason Gold came to see the Tsaritsa wasn’t simply because she wanted her morsel back. She may have come because she discovered what the Tsaritsa was doing with it and realized that it could be used to defy death.
That would also explain the later exchange, where Gold says, “It seems I’ll have to reclaim what is mine. Care to stop me, Cryo Archon?”
And then we hear the Tsaritsa say, “Time to start the next phase of the plan.”
So perhaps Gold’s arrival and what she revealed about the morsel caused the Tsaritsa to move forward with the next phase of her plan. The big question is what exactly the Tsaritsa is planning to do with the morsel, and why it is important enough to potentially challenge Ronova
