Differences

 * "A Question of Price" story part: Jaskier asks Geralt to join him as a "bodyguard" to the festivities in Cintra. In the short story, Dandelion doesn't appear. Also, in the short story, Geralt was invited (as Ravix of Fourhorn) by Queen Calanthe to join the banquet to solve a delicate matter for her. It is revealed later, that she planned to use Geralt to get rid off the Urcheon of Erlenwald, so Cintra could create a bond with Skellige.


 * Yennefer's story: Yennefers part in the episode was completely written for the show. It was never clarified, what she exactly did, after she graduated from Aretuza. It is briefly mentioned, though, Yennefer sometimes counselled the King of Aedirn because she lived in Vengerberg, where she also had some kind of shop. In The Voice of Reason 6 the priestess Nenneke mentions to Geralt, that Yennefer would earn a lot from rich ladies if they accept her professional help to end an unwanted pregnancy.
