Penelope and Widgit have existential crises while Kevin entertains Mansa Musa.
was kind of a fake-out. Nothing unusual happened, they just didn’t like the experience that much. They said it was “like a nightmare,” but then they simply dropped down into some other historical place and time like they always do. Judy did get lost in the portal, though . Now she’s trimming shrubs in SB’s palace. But the rest of the team is in Northern Africa in 1324 CE at the hajj of Mansa Musa, King of Mali, still thought to have been the richest man to have ever lived..
There’s an emphasis on purpose here, particularly on distinguishing purpose from ability. For instance, the wise mansa informs Kevin, “Telling stories is what you do; your purpose is to save your parents,” and the latter does not come easily to him. It’s even harder when you consider that he has to leave this environment where he has found happiness and a father figure he adores to continue to work toward this goal. The implication is that one’s purpose is something that involves some toil.
There’s a little side story about one of the mansa’s attendants revealing to Biddelig that he has a crush on the queen, making him realize that he deeply cares for a missing friend. Though it’s not the most compelling subplot, a few good lines come from it. The queen declines the bath the attendant has prepared for her, because she would rather take one in Cairo—”there are so many soaps!”—and she rebuffs his gesture of affection as well, saying, “No chance ever. Obviously.
• Speaking of things that could change history, Penelope’s rubies fell out of Biddelig’s “bottomless bag.” It would suck if that started a war or something.film, King Agamemnon, played by Sean Connery, acts as a fatherly stand-in, and once Kevin has returned to his own timeline, a firefighter who looks exactly like the ancient king happens upon the scene to extinguish a fire at the Haddock household. I wonder if they’ll do something like that here.
