Episode 8 Summary

[Karri Pretty]

Tensionsbegan to emerge because the father who helped create the French immersion program, Rob, was a professional fundraiser who began to raise large amounts of money that would chiefly benefit programs for the new White students, not actively involving the majority-BIPOC students, families, or programs within the school.

A second way this episode illustrates White interference with integration is the story of a new school which was created by a White mother inside I.S. 293 and which then was essentially abandoned by its planners and left to further confuse matters in the school building.

This episode was heartening in that it shows concrete actions schools can take to foster racial and socio-economic integration and support its success. For one, the new BHS initiatives to hire more BIPOC staff and explicitly talk about and do trainings around race and inclusiveness seem to be paying off.

Joffe-Walt is quick to point out that this district is just ONE small part (a mere 11 middle schools) within a huge school district which is still deeply segregated. That said, these new District 15 policies are a very hopeful sign showing that something can be done about educational inequality.

Wow! I do not think I realised how much of a problem the issue was/is. This is more like the castism we have in India never did I think that the issue is in the west too. We go by birth you by the colour of the skin.Your analysis is in-depth and frankly, I cannot assimilate it all in one go.Will come back again later to read yet again.

There have been such profound and important comparisons recently between India's caste system and America's racism, most recently in Isabel Wilkerson's new book, Caste, which is on my list to read. Thank you for sharing your perspective from 7,500 miles away!

While admiring the babies, Meredith notices one of the babies crying intensely as his face turns blue, and quickly identifies a tet spell. Tet spells, which are most common in young infants two to four months old, are episodes of deep blue skin, nails, and lips appearing after crying or feeding, or when agitated. These episodes are caused by a rapid drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood.

Meredith realizes there must be an underlying problem as indicated by not just these observations, but also by a heart murmur. A heart murmur is a blowing, wooshing, or rasping sound heard during a heartbeat. This is caused by turbulent blood flow through the heart valves or near the heart. While often times harmless, some heart murmurs may indicate underlying heart problems, including valve calcification, endocarditis, cardiac shunts, or septal defects.

Heart murmurs occur when a valve does not close tightly and blood leaks backward, a process known as regurgitation. They can also happen when blood flows through a narrowed or stiff heart valve which restricts the blood flow, a process called stenosis. In less severe cases, heart murmurs can appear from exercise or fever, when blood flows through the valves faster than normal.

Step 1: Hemostasis and Inflammation: In hemostasis, bleeding is stopped by the intertwined activation of platelets and coagulation cascades which attract inflammatory cells. Inflammation aims to restore the integrity of damaged or threatened tissues.

Unable to convince the daughter to go into the hospital, Izzie eventually sneaks out supplies and sutures the wound outside in the rain. Ms. Lu and her daughter leave the hospital sutured and satisfied.

Well, finally. The ruinous civil war called the Dance of the Dragons is here at last, and if this episode is any indication, it's gonna be one bloody mosh pit. Lord Beesbury's was technically the first blood spilled in the war last week, but poor Luke represents its first front-line casualty. They didn't just kill this messenger, they chewed him all the way up. (You know how you never see Cookie Monster actually eating the cookie, he just sort of reduces it to flying crumbs? Sort of that, but with gobbets of flesh.)

I mentioned last week that the characters on this show are drawn with a lot more nuance and ambivalence than their comparatively sketchy and ruthless counterparts in Fire & Blood, the book from which House of the Dragon is adapted. That's particularly true this week, as Rhaenyra argues for caution and restraint, and the show goes out of its way to establish that neither combatant in the dragon-on-dragon air battle is fully in control of his creature when the dark deed gets done.

I like the Rhaenyra stuff, because it's doing solid work to delineate her character and remind us of her childhood friendship with Alicent. I'm less crazy about turning dragons into willful, aggressive mutts you can't take off-leash at the dog park ("Play nice, Vhagar! He doesn't want to play with you, Vhagar. VHAGAR NO HUMP. NO HUMP VHAGAR.")

Is this gonna be a whole thing? That dragons possess rich and textured inner lives of ephemeral moods and nursed grudges? Yes, it adds a layer, I suppose, as it reinforces their status as wild, dangerous beasts, but as employed here, it really lets Aemond off the hook. What is added by turning that horrible, irrevocable moment into an "Oopsie, my bad" ?

Luke stands at the Painted Table, the giant dragonglass map of Westeros. Which, I gotta say, seems a lot more carved than painted, but whatever. It looks cool, let them call it what they want. And wait'll you see it at night.

He and the pregnant Rhaenyra share a nice scene together in which she reassures him that she wasn't ready when Viserys named her his heir. But she decided to "earn her inheritance," a phrase so wildly oxymoronic that it practically devours itself.

Daemon decides that Viserys was murdered, which is a big leap, and that Rhaenys could have burned Team Green into traitorous ash but didn't do it, which is not. Rhaenys says the war that's coming "is not mine to begin," which is a cop-out answer that makes only the kind of sense that is non-, but Eve Best sells it.

Meanwhile, Daemon marshalls Dragonstone's defenses. He learns that Corlys Velaryon is feeling better, but still doesn't know which side he's on. He orders that their nearby allies in the Crownlands (read: the region of Westeros around King's Landing) be alerted: Lord Darklyn (of Duskendale), Lord Massey (of Stonedance) and Lord Bar Emmon (of Sharp Point).

Back to the Painted Table Which Is Actually Carved, Because No, I'm Sorry, Words Mean Things, People. If you thought this show loved tchotchkes before, hoo boy, they're busting out the whole damn Fisher-Price playset of map figurines. There's Hightower gewgaws and Velaryon doohickeys and Targaryen whatsits and then it turns out the whole table lights up once they hit the fantasy LEDs (read: candles) beneath it.

Someone's like, why are we counting up our army men when we got dragons? Dragons eat army men! Dragons burn army men! Dragons smush army men into a thick paste between their dragon toes! You get the point!

There's also unclaimed dragons like Seasmoke (once ridden by Laenor) on Driftmark. Daemon mentions an additional two currently riderless dragons called Vermithor and Silverwing on Dragonstone. Plus three wild dragons, also on Dragonstone, and 20 dragon eggs.

Daemon suggests gathering the whole dragon gang at Harrenhal, in the center of the continent, and then sending them to surround King's Landing, but before Rhaenyra can weigh in, Otto Hightower arrives to offer King Aegon's terms.

There's a tense moment when Rhaenyra tosses Otto's Hand pin over the bridge, but he then shows her the page she wilfully ripped from that book way back in episode one, which Alicent has held onto. Daemon's having none of this and starts sword-rattling, but Rhaenyra's sincely touched and having all of it; she orders him to stand down. She tells Otto that he'll have his answer tomorrow.

Back at the...you know what, let's just call it the Glowing Table, okay? Because it glows. Rhaenyra is reluctant to follow Daemon's Hugely Destructive Dragon PlanTM, which, predictably enough, enrages him. Hell, he's Daemon. An under-ripe peach would enrage him.

We know the prophecy is true, we know that's she's right. How much more interesting would all this be if we didn't? If the show trusted us to make up our own minds, instead of pushing us so doggedly into Rhaenyra's camp?

Corlys is recovering nicely, thank you very much, and Rhaenys informs him that his brother Vaemond is dead, killed by Daemon for questioning Rhaenyra's sons legitimacy. You'd think this news would cause Corlys to direct his anger at the sociopathic head-lopping rage-monkey that is Daemon Targaryen, but no: He decries Vaemond's "heedless ambition" instead.

But Rhaenyra wants to wait until she knows if the Arryns, Starks and Baratheons will side with her. Jace suggests that he and Luke fly their dragons and deliver her message to the three Houses. Jace is to head North, to deal with the Arryns and Starks. But never mind that for now, because this season we won't be hearing how any of that went down.
