The end of the story of Jason, Medea, and the Argonauts. Things have been pretty easy for Jason. Medea solved all of his problems before he even knew he had them on the Argo, and her fairly violent murder-by-proxy of Pelias secured Iolcus for Jason's father. It would probably be a very bad idea to cheat on Medea, right? The hard times are about to catch up with Jason.

Someone is burned alive, and it's not pretty. I talk about melted and bubbling skin, but that's basically the extent of it.
