Recap of The Witch and the Beast episode 3
The episode kicks off with Kiera Haines divulging the messages left by the witch at every crime scene to Ashaf and Guideau. Moroever, she calls the case "The Witch's Pastime" because none of the cryptic messages made any sense.
Later, the trio arrives at the house of a potential lead but finds the man brutally killed by the witch. Kiera gets visibly upset over this and tells Ashaf that nothing good comes from getting close to her.
At that moment, she receives a call from her police partner, who informs her about the witch's latest victim. Later that day, Ashaf and Guideau face the witch and realize that Kiera may have some connection to her. As such, they call her up and ask what sort of grudge the witch may have on her.
The episode then reveals through a flashback that the mysterious witch killed almost everyone close to Kiera, including her two children and boyfriend. However, she wasn't sure about her connection to the witch. Nonetheless, Kiera relies on Ashaf and Guideau, who promises to end the witch's life.
Following this, the episode highlights the enigmatic duo strategizing with the police to locate the witch and push them to a corner. To everyone's surprise, the actual identity of the "witch" was Kiera's two adopted children, Shulk and Loran, who faked their deaths and pretended to be a witch.
It is revealed that they had acquired a mysterious magical grimoire that cursed them into killing people and satisfying its hunger. Had they failed to do so, they would have gotten killed.
However, Kiera discovers that although they were under the Grimoire's influence, they still harbored angst towards people close to Kiera. Since she was "too young" to be a mother, her adopted sons had developed romantic affection for her.
With no strings attached anymore, the bereaved lady kills her adopted children and ends the "witch" case. The episode ends with Ashaf and Guideau leaving Hayden, after saying their goodbyes to Kiera.
