Mayfair Witches season 2 episode 2 recap
Mayfair Witches season 2 episode 2, Ten of Swords, unfolds with multiple pivotal events that escalate the tension and deepen the mystery surrounding Rowan and Lasher.
Rowan sees Lasher in the woods near Gifford Mayfair's house and goes there to find him. It's clear from their fight that she can't handle him. Lasher gets away when Rowan uses her powers to make a storm to try to knock him out. She is tired and angry because she knows Lasher's crazy behavior is still making things hard for her family after this failed confrontation.
During this time, Ciprien gains Moira's trust. While Ciprien was trying to get Moira to help him, he changed his mind and let her read his mind instead. This lets her know that his real goal is to keep Rowan and the Mayfair family safe.
This action makes the alliance less stable, but Moira is still wary because she doesn't know how to really help Ciprien's mission. Because Lasher is getting stronger, they need to work together even more.
Lasher’s destructive tendencies manifest again when Moira discovers her mother, Alicia, dead in their home. Alicia’s gruesome death is a direct result of Lasher’s volatile presence, marking the third fatality tied to him in this episode. The sequence emphasizes the escalating threat he poses to the Mayfair witches, further complicating Rowan’s efforts to contain him.
Meanwhile, Rowan reluctantly decides to free Cortland Mayfair from his otherworldly imprisonment. Trapped in a nightmarish limbo by his abusive father, Julien, Cortland’s psychological torment is evident as he sacrifices part of himself to appease Julien. Upon his release, Cortland’s motivations remain ambiguous, leaving Rowan uncertain whether she has gained an ally or invited further betrayal.
The last scenes show how bad things are for Rowan's family and how dangerous things are. The Mayfair legacy is almost doomed because Lasher is on the run and people are making deals when things are tough. At the end of the episode, Rowan isn't as sure that she can keep her family safe while dealing with Lasher's power and danger.
What to expect from Mayfair Witches season 2 episode 3
The next episode of Mayfair Witches season 2, called Cover the Mirrors, is likely to go into more detail about Rowan's growing conflict with Lasher, the dangerous entity. Rowan is under more and more pressure to protect her family and face her fate. As a result, viewers can expect intense character dynamics, secrets to come out, and shocking turns.
Rowan's friendship with Cortland is probably going to be an important part of this episode. She wants to stop Lasher's growing power, so she asks him for advice. But Cortland's intentions are still not clear, making viewers wonder if they can trust him or if his involvement will make Rowan's problems even worse.
Moira, on the other hand, is expected to step up and play a key role in helping Ciprien catch Lasher. Working together is likely to lead to new plans, but there are still a lot of risks involved in going up against Lasher.
Lasher's mysterious past and his link to the Mayfair family's history might also be cleared up in episode 3.
Mayfair Witches season 2 is available to stream on AMC+.
