The Sandman – S2 – More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold – Eps03
In the Dreaming, Nuala runs into Dream and they recount their first meeting. In England, 1593, Dream inspires William Shakespeare to write A Midsummer Night’s Dream and makes him play it for King Auberon, Queen Titania, and their courtiers as an attempt to heal a rift between the Dreaming and Faerie by making mankind forever remember the fae through the play. Auberon and Titania like the play and make amends with Dream. In the present, Dream discusses his dilemma with Nuala and the next morning, everyone assembles to hear his decision. Dream ultimately decides to return the lordship of Hell to the Creator, provoking Azazel into attacking him. However, being in the Dreaming, his seat of power, Dream easily overpowers Azazel and saves Nada. Before his departure, Cluracan reveals that Nuala is a gift to Dream from Titania, and Dream reluctantly accepts after Nuala herself agrees to stay. Dream finds out that Loki, trying to escape imprisonment by his fellow gods, posed as Susano. Dream, in exchange of a promise of future service, lets Loki go and then approaches a retired Lucifer and they peacefully part ways. Later, he apologizes to Nada. She does not accept his apology and leaves for the waking world instead.
