Episode 13 recap
The 13th episode began with Liza Quillyn writing a letter to students explaining the situation at the College, including recent attacks on students and their guardians. Chise and friends then discussed Philomela’s leaving the school with her. She reveals that she and the Sergeant family have served Veronica and the Rickenbacker family since she was little.
The episode then cut to Elias Ainsworth, who greeted Simeon Paladhilhe as he awoke and updated him on the situation. Simeon once again calls Elias a friend, causing Elias to realize he has several friends if caring for someone is all it takes. Chise is then greeted in her room by Lucy, who has been given permission to sleep in their dorm once again. Chise and Lucy then head to the courtyard for class, where the other students and Zaccheroni are also gathered.
The students were then told to destroy Zaccheroni’s familiars in order to pass the lesson for today. As Chise was attacked by a familiar, her curse came over her, which led to her crushing the familiar’s windpipe to defeat it. After class, Philomela began feeling sick, prompting Chise to take her to the nurse’s office, but Philomela just asked to be taken to her room as the episode ended.
What to expect (speculative)
The Ancient Magus’ Bride season 2 episode 14 will likely begin with an update on Philomela’s status, considering that the episode ended with her being taken to her room. Chise and Lucy should also be shown discussing their own theories on what’s wrong with Philomela, as well as whether or not it has anything to do with the College lockdown.
The Ancient Magus’ Bride season 2 episode 14 should also see some sort of progress made toward finding out for sure who is responsible for the attacks on the students. Likewise, this should lead to the establishment of a clear antagonist, setting up the season’s second half to be much more action-packed and exciting than the first.
