What happened in episode 4 of Mayfair Witches?
Rowan and Cispen attended her mother's funeral, although everyone was startled by her presence, as if she were a ghost. Carlotta invited her to the Mayfair home to attend a small afterparty. Rowan initially rejected the offer but eventually showed up at her ancestral home.
Ciprien, however, had to leave the funeral early in order to investigate Deirdre's murder and discovered a horrific reality regarding the murderer and Lasher. At Mayfair House, Rowan learns more about her family, even discovering that she owns the house after a conversation with Cortland.
Meanwhile, in a startling turn of events, Carlotta tried to kill Rowan and herself by setting the house on fire, but Ciprien managed to save Rowan at the last moment. Unfortunately, Carlotta accidentally stabs him, and when Rowan and Ciprien were trying to leave home, Lasher shut the door with his powers.
