I always really liked this episode. The biggest thing was showing why Geralt was tied to Ciri by destiny. I think the weakest part of it was Ciri's time in the forest. To address a couple of your questions, Eist was helping Geralt and Duny fight because he wanted to honor the Law of Surprise that Duny had called. He felt he was doing the right thing there. Pavetta threw up because she was pregnant. You guessed that right. They had implied through earlier conversation that Pavetta and Duny had already met, were in love, and had spent the night together. Now, about the timelines. This is the episode where, for me, it all started to come together. Yennefer, Geralt, and Ciri are all in separate timelines. You could call Ciri's timeline the present, Geralt is before Ciri's, and Yennefer is before Geralt's and Ciri's, so she's in the earliest timeline. From the very beginning they've laid out clues to show where each main character is in relation to each other. For example, in the first episode, Ciri says to her grandmother something about winning her first battle when she was Ciri's age. In Geralt's story, Renfri says to him that Queen Calanthe had just won her first battle, so that shows that Geralt is years before Ciri in the timeline. In the third episode, Geralt was in Temeria helping with the striga who was the daughter of King Foltest and his sister, Adda. At the ball in Aretuza, where Yennefer goes after her transformation, we see Foltest and Adda there as young children so we realize that Yennefer's time is years before Geralt's. I'm not sure how well I explained all that, but I hope it clears some things up for you a little bit.

Stephen, no offense, i understand and accept that the Witcher is not for everyone, but maybe its just not your style. This show requires you to pay real attention to the dialogues and story and doesn't hold your hand at all throughout. You have a style where you do also other things throughout your watch of an episode (you watch other screens i imagine) which can lead you to miss some important things some time. In Witcher this affects heavily your watching experience.

Sorry .. i meant to continue. In regards to this episode, i liked it a lot. Where you're wrong and the reason why you were confused, is that from the beginning of the show we've had different timelines. This is revealed through dialogues mostly, even from the first episode. Renfri mentions to Geralt that Calanthe just won her first major battle, and in another scene Ciri tells Calanthe that she was almost Cir's age when she won her first battle. So that establishes from the start that Geralt's first story is at least 30+ years before Ciri's plotline. Then in the second episode you can understand that some time passed in Geralt's timeline when it is already common knowledge to everyone of what happened in the first episode in Blaviken. Then a second (older timeline is introduced) with Yennefer. And you know this because there is dialogue when the mages are conferring and they mention Calanthe as being the heir to the current king of Cyntra. Then in the third episode there is another more obvious clue as to the difference between Gerlat's timeline and Yennefer's timeline, when we see in Gerlat's timeline Foltest as a 50+ year old King and in Yennefer's timeline we see during the scene at the ball a 12-13 years old Foltest along with his sister. So as you understand this was not a simple flashback in this episode. It's just that we've had 3 different timelines and they are all moving forward at different paces. Ciri's timeline is the one that is "present/ current" and is moving at a slow pace, and the other two are jumping through specific points in their timelines in order to eventually catch up with Ciri's. It was a bold choice by the creators and i personally loved it.
