Matthew counters that they helped repel the armada, but Cecil says no one is above suspicion. The lord feels that the imprisonment and torture of the leader of the Scottish witches would cause their counterparts in England to rebel against the queen. Now that he’s back in London, Cecil expects Matthew to continue serving the crown and his task this week is to discover if there is a plot amongst the English witches as a response to the witch hunts in Scotland. The events in Scotland were making people very fearful. Before they departed, the countess offered a word of advice that no one in London should be trusted with knowledge of Diana. She pretended that the reptile must have crawled in from the outside, but everyone knew witchcraft was involved. The Yale professor is visibly disheartened that the other woman seems quite reluctant to aid in her quest to find a teacher, yet she does glad accept the alchemist as a friend.ĭuring this encounter we also learn of another one of Diana’s unique abilities as she was able to bring a snake pattern on Mary’s slipper to life. Mary does ask Diana would like to assist her in her experiments and offered her friendship. She learned about the existence of creatures from her brother (who Matthew also knew) but she was quite reluctant in being vocal about it. While Mary proves to be forward thinking as an alchemist, she says that she sadly cannot help them. Speaking of the historian, she geeks out in finally meeting one of her heroes. The PastĪt the inn with Walter and Henry, Matthew suggests they enlist the help of Mary Sidney (or Mary Herbert), Countess of Pembroke, in finding a teacher for Diana. Satu seems to be able to then freeze an entire lake (though we don’t see her actually doing it). The elder woman says she should stay then and become who she was meant to be. She’s upset and confronts her teacher that she wasn’t told who she was and that she doesn’t want protection but to learn and to better understand her abilities.

Satu returns home to a report part of Finland where we are introduced to another witch who trained her. The matriarch of the de Cleremonts clearly has no desire to play happy family with Em and Sarah but the other vampire says counters that Matthew would want his mother to make the other two women feel at home and if he can evolve then so can they. Em asks her pointedly doesn’t she want to know why.ĭownstairs, Marthe is setting up the table with Ysabeau asking if the witches will be dining with them tonight. The redhead though is more frustrated that the Book of Life is what started this whole mess to begin with. She also believed that the page from the Ashmole 782 Diana left them is connected somehow and must have answers for them. Sarah is convinced Peter Knox will find them no matter what but Em tries to reassure her that the Madison coven will not reveal their location. But it’s not easy as creatures have been instructed for many years not to mingle by the Congregation.

While Diana and Matthew are in the past, the witches family has taken refuge at Sept Tour under the protection of the de Cleremont family. Here are the notable moments from episode 2 of this season. Diana in the meantime discovers what she is exactly and finds a teacher in Goody Alsop.

This week on A Discovery of Witches, Matthew is forced to make a hard decision when it comes to another creature’s life in order to protect Diana.
