The engagement between Florence and the Vatican claim the sanity of a smattering of nuns on last night ’s Da Vinci ’s Demons . What will Leonardo do when the local convent claims to be plagued by demonic possession ? spoiler below .
Although this episode get down and terminate with the rather on - the - nose analogy of the caged parrot that does n’t want its exemption , it was refreshing to see Leonardo and his pals tackling a single trouble within the large conflict between the Medicis and the agent of the Pope . When a filth and blood - coated nun buoy stumble into the streets lodge accusations at the Medicis , her fellow nuns claim that there ’s a efflorescence of possessions going through the convent . Being a Man of Science , Leonardo consider that the cause is natural ( or humanity - made ) rather than supernatural . So he take away a geological fault from instruct the Florentine war effort on the finer points of noisy weaponry to investigate the grounds of this nunnery craziness .
Meanwhile , Lorenzo Medici is warned that his wife Clarice may be a spy feeding information ( perhaps unwittingly ) to Rome . Of naturally , there is a real snake in Lorenzo ’s bedchamber , and when Leonardo last pieces together that madness - inducing Claviceps purpurea has been sprinkled over the feet of the statue of St. Anthony , feet the nuns on a regular basis buss , we learn just what that lovely snake ( or rather , parrot in a pretty cage ) is capable of . And Clarice may just identify Lucrezia as the Vatican ’s agent before anyone else does .
While Da Vinci ’s Demons seems to be setting up the note value of Leonardo ’s science against spiritual superstition ( especially when one of the priest decide that kill the nuns is the better means to contain this demonic infection ) , it ’s a shame that we did n’t get more of the tensions between Leonardo and Count Riario as Leonardo hunt for the Book of Leaves . But Riario has an challenging new playfellow in the form of the hooded prisoner who toy Go with Riario and meditates on the nature of winning and lose .
This sequence did feel a turn like a standalone , perhaps to introduce unexampled viewers to the show . The question is , will sore nun buoy and Sherlockian antics draw folks in to this ahistorical fantasy ?
