Ill giveMayfair Witchesthis much.
I never have any idea whats going to happen next.
I cant tell if this episode was successful because I still dont know what it was trying to do.
In this universe, dynamic women are just useful plot martyrs for Rowan to either sulkily avenge or resent.
Ellie, Deirdre, Delphine, Carlotta, Ghost Aunt, Suzanne, and now Tessa (presumably).
In fact, Im becoming increasingly convinced thatMayfair Witcheskind of hates women.
But hey, its Rowans choice.
Or, actually, maybe its Lashers choice.
Shes not sure, which is why she now needs Tessa to get in touch with him for her.
This is pretty understandable, in my opinion.
Theoretically, I support Rowan wanting to rid herself of Lasher at all costs.
I mean, the nerve.
Didnt we all just go to great lengths so you’re able to bail on this family?
But despite even Uncle Cortlands hard sell, Rowan refuses to do this.
What if hes with her and she needs him and I call him away, she whines.
Of course, Rowan then cancels out her one good deed by physically threatening her uncle.
Rowan comes storming in, magic fingers blazing, and starts zapping brains left and right.
No matter that Jojo pretty clearly said no killing anybody.
This is great fun.
And where is Ciprien in all this?
Once again, poor Cip has been trapped in one of Lashers patented mind prisons.
Tragically, however, Cip has just followed her into a trap.
Another trap, I mean.
Its a trap within a trap.
Our evil genius finally leaves Ciprien to contemplate his existence … in a room full of witchy escape-hatch ingredients.
It takes Cip about 30 seconds to whip up an exit portal.
And also Uncle Cortland.
This is what finally gets Rowan to call Lasher.
Good job, everyone.
A perfectly executed, very logical plan.
At some point, this show is going to have to explain Rowans cake fetish to me.
No, lets make her just a poor woman with a grudge.
Lighting the pyre with a tiki torch was a cute touch.
I think were supposed to remember the word henbane for the future.
