A brief recap of Once Upon a Witch’s Death episode 4
The recent episode began with Sophie and Meg spending time together. Faust had instructed Meg to learn from Sophie’s abilities and assist her with opening the gate during the Otherworldly Festival. Sophie was rather cold during the initial stages. However, the story revealed her backstory. Her family abandoned her, which forced her to develop magical abilities. Furthermore, she sought to destroy magic for everyone because it literally snatched everything from her life.
Meg had everything that Sophie didn’t. She had a family, people she cared about, and a life that seemed colorful to her. However, Meg’s innate ability to connect with someone helped her towards the end. She broke through Sophie’s defences and managed to befriend her. She also proved her abilities as a witch by saving the commonfolk from the dangers of the Otherworld.
What to expect in Once Upon a Witch’s Death episode 5?
The upcoming episode will most likely shift focus to Meg’s goals. She needs to collect a lot more drops if she wants to deflect the curse and live longer. She cannot become one of the Great Sages if she doesn’t accomplish the aforementioned task in one year. Furthermore, Faust will most likely receive screen time after making a complete recovery.
