Episode Titles

"The Butcher's Knife Cares Not For the Lamb's Cry"? Wow! On a 1-10 scale for pretentious episode titles, I give it a "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield".
 
I enjoy episode titles that are poetic and/or evocative of the classics.

The juxtaposition of a butcher's knife with a lamb's cry must be an allusion to William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence," which references cries or outcries a few times, and includes this line:
The lamb misus'd breeds public strife,
And yet forgives the butcher's knife.
