Ah, what a deliciously absurd episode. So you've got this castle that combines all the gender equality of Gor with a bunch of bad poetry. And oh yeah, magic don't work. I can't think of anything that would be more contrived and mismatched for Cara. Which is why the episode was so entertaining. Then there was the amusing subplots of the fat princess and the chancellor falling for Zedd's trap. lulz.
There were some serious moments after all, and I think the mix of farce and seriousness were carried off well in this one.
