Episode description

In today's stories of unhappy love, we have two examples of visions in a dream. In the first (4.5) a woman's lover is murdered by her brothers, and he appears to her in a dream to help her find his body. In the second (4.6) a man dismisses the ominous dreams of himself and his wife (who he married secretly), then dies suddenly and leaves her with the challenge of explaining the whole thing.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Gore. In story one, after finding her lover's body, the protagonist cuts off his head and takes it home with her, where she treats it like a saint's relic. Corrupt justice system/sexual harrassment. In story two, a judge tries to convince the protagonist that he could protect her from suspicion in her husband's death if she sleeps with him. She refuses, and needs to physically back up that refusal before he gives up.
