We FINALLY get some answers.

Darien and Lucy feel a lot of emotions in chapter 37, "Legacy of a Rider."

Talking points include how "You didn't need to know" is rarely a good answer to "Why didn't you tell me this crucial information sooner?", how if dying makes one realize they need to share crucial information, perhaps that information should have been shared sooner, justified comparisons to Star Wars, and Murtagh joining Chewbacca in the ranks of Ultimate Ride or Die.

Spoiler warning: The end of this episode contains spoilers for Cassandra Clare's Queen of Air and Darkness and Sarah J Mass' House of Earth and Blood

Meet your new best friend.

Lucy and Darien try to keep it cool in chapter 36, "Murtagh."

Talking points include Eragon probably making things worse with magic and how that's not really his fault cause Brom is just a terrible teacher, sealing a wound not being the same as healing it, how to write a strong first impression, being very happy to see Eragon making a new friend, and Murtagh being a very good boy.

Things take a turn for the worst.

Darien and Lucy witness everything fall apart in chapter 34, "Worshipers of Helgrind," and chapter 35, "The Ra'zac's Revenge."

Talking points include Dras Leona being just an awful place, Eragon's odd visit to appreciate the local architecture, Saphira still playing messenger between Eragon and Brom, a daring city escape that shatters the pattern readers have come to expect, and Darien completely misreading a crucial paragraph.
