Finished the episode and we're back. The group doing a good old fashioned dungeon crawl is CR at its best.

I generally hate when they do that, but in this case they aren't 100% sure Essik is on their side plus they know they are being scryed.
I'd argue it's a little late to be having second thoughts about Essik. As far as being scryed on, through Cad they found out it was through orders of the Bright Queen and unless they're trying to hide stuff from her, I don't get being worried here. Like presumably the stuff about Obann and his new friend is stuff that they'd WANT to make its way to the Queen. And as far as stuff about there being a traitor in the court, I don't think that would be news to the Queen. I imagine they didn't have that Beacon just lying around, so they must know it was an inside job.
Dairon probably should have stuck around to avoid suspicion. The house is being scryed on so the fact that the housekeeper that just randomly showed up one day disappeared the day after a huge break-in is a glaring neon sign of foul play.
Also Beau didn't tell Dairon about the massacre at the CS. What the fuck.
