The Witch and the Beast episode 5 recap
After a short recap of the previous episode, The Witch and the Beast episode 5 begins with a scene from the past featuring the necromancer culprit and his deceased wife. It's revealed that the Necromancer wanted to resurrect his wife, who died in a terrible accident.
Following that, the episode returns to the present, where Phanora Kristoffel and the police officer get summoned by the mastermind in his villa. A conversation between the necromancer and Phanora reveals that those who are turned undead will never be able to reincarnate because their souls go to the void realm.
The necromancer knowingly broke the taboo and turned countless deceased people into undead for his selfish desire to resurrect his dead wife into a "beautiful-looking" woman.
To achieve that, the culprit wanted Phanora's beauty, but the enigmatic woman remains calm before revealing her actual identity. The episode reveals that Phanora Kristoffel is not only a necromancer but also a witch.
She unleashes her army of undead knights who easily overwhelm the evil necromancer's "weaker" undead troops. The culprit curses his luck for having a witch involved in his grand plan and tries to flee to the other room. At that moment, he witnesses to his horror that Johan isn't dead.
The Witch and the Beast episode 5 discloses that Johan is also an undead. However, as he was made an undead by a witch, he was "different" from the rest, possessing far greater powers than a mere undead.
Instead of killing the necromancer there and then, Johan brutally tortured him till Phanora arrived. The necromancer witch then shoots the culprit, even though it means breaking a rule.
Following that, the episode shows Phanora turning the evil necromancer into an undead, which is a punishment worse than death. She also tells the police officer that she will turn his dead wife to life.
The officer, fully aware of the consequences, couldn't help but feel both happy and sad at the same time. He also thanks Johan and apologizes for saying harsh stuff to him. The episode ends with Phanora piercing her nails into the undead necromancer as a punishment for what he did to Johan.
