Who else is surprised that Witches of East End ’s somehow gotten unexpectedly good ? Do n’t get me incorrect , it ’s still foot up and dropping plots like an indecisive shopper purchasing market while thirsty , but at least it ’s choosing the ripe ones to keep and devolve . The right ones to keep ? Enver Gjokaj and Freddie Prinze , Jr.
Spoilers below . . .
Last hebdomad , as weather trapped me in an airport in the Midwest , I realise that a three - 60 minutes delay would force me to miss Witches of East death . And that was really disconcerting , because since I ’d commit up andaccepted the show as my personal lord and savior , I was funny as to where it ’d go . Whether it ’d keep squeeze the crazy . And the result to that is :

Yes . Buckets of crazy yes .
Now , technically this plot went through the whole episode . But it ’s still the most boring beloved triangle ever , so permit ’s toss out of it quickly . Freya ’s still woolgather of Killian , but she ’s place on Dash . So she make herself a potion to hold on the dream . Although , Dash hear her let the cat out of the bag about the osculation Killian and Freya had in the pilot , which has not been mentioned since then . receive back to the plot , make - outs that cause flowers to bloom ! He decides to go off to London without Freya . Joanna uses tarot cards to severalize Freya that she loves them both , and that one will save her and one will destroy her . She has to choose . Which , honestly , it looks like she has . She dreams about Killian again , who tells her she ’s bugger off it all wrong , she ’s misinterpreting the dreams , but she does n’t care . It ’ll be the last one , the potion she made jam them . We all make love that Dash is the one that ’ll destroy her and Killian will save her , right ?
Let ’s move on to the part of this show that act a thousand time better . Virginia Madsen , who confirm she ’s Athena , raises the Ingrid that Wendy kill from the utter . Virginia Madsen tells Dead!Ingrid that if she can get a snake key that belonged to her begetter from Wendy , she ’ll get to kill her in revenge . Dead!Ingrid ’s one hundred pct on circuit card with killing Wendy .
Wendy , meanwhile , has decided that she has to live her animation to the entire . Which , of course , involve bump Freddie Prinze , Jr. He ’s still the Geek King of the Lepidopterists , so she obtain him hunt for butterflies in the field . She manages to get out of explaining that she stole a rarefied butterfly from him for a spell , and they make out . Dead!Ingrid discover them , but kindly waits for them to be done having sex before she abducts Wendy for some supernatural torture .
Freddie extend to drop off Wendy ’s purse , and alerts Joanna that something ’s incorrect . She shows up just after Dead!Ingrid plunges her hand into Wendy ’s chest . She pretty nonchalantly drops Dead!Ingrid to the footing , and starts a spell . powerful before that , Dead!Ingrid says , “ You do n’t kill ! ” and Joanna responds , “ You ’re already all in . ” And then , with a wafture of her hand , wrench her to ash . It ’s top-notch badass . This is the Joanna we saw casually poison people in the flashbacks of a few episodes ago , and it is dandy .
Also awesome ? The introduction of Enver Gjokaj , who we commend so lovingly from Dollhouse . His name ’s Mike , but he ’ll always be Victor in our hearts . He and Ingrid give-and-take cutely about how he ’s rude to librarians and how she loves to shush people . He intervenes when a creep corners Ingrid , and she sound to thank him . This could have done without the uncomfortable significance that he ’s all good with her now because he saved her . The show tries to furbish up it , but the line “ Just as long as you know that I could have handled that myself ” is n’t in reality enough . Whatever , they care each other , she ’s over the guy she make out who died to compensate her wizardly debt , and he ’s obtain the blueprints to Fair Haven . So Victor ’s plainly got his own agenda . Plus , the dead cat and Ingrid plotline was dazed , so I ’m utterly happy to disregard it in favor of Victor .
The family all get under one’s skin together , and once again the show is funny on purpose :
Freyja : Why are we watching Aunt Wendy eternal sleep ?
Joanna : She ’s not asleep , she ’s all in .
Freya : Oh my god , again ?
That ’s apparently her last death , which is terrify : A ) The gags surrounding her death are slap-up . And B ) if Wendy really break down and leaves this show , that ’s the best graphic symbol gone .
In other secret plan , Joanna digs up the snake key that Virginia Madsen sent Dead!Ingrid after . ( Wendy straight up calls her “ Dead!Ingrid , ” which is hilarious ) Wendy confirms that Joanna destroyed it , which she clear did n’t . Finally , Virginia Madsen looks at a portrait of her father and says , “ I need more power , ” followed by her say , “ Yes . ” Well , that ca n’t be good for anyone .
I do n’t experience how I feel about a show about a phratry of cleaning lady require men to be good . On the other bridge player , Dash and Killian have been around forever and are the most uninteresting thing in this intact show . So perchance Freddie and Victor just poise out their severity ? Plus , was n’t Joanna getting it on with her attorney ? He allege he sleep together her , what take place to him ? Wow , the more you believe about it , the more you realize that a lot from those first few episodes is just getting left in the dust of this dotty train .
Only two episodes left after tonight ’s . And , not gon na lie , that ’s make me a little sorry .
