Episode Title:
Even a worm will turn.
Episode Description:
Alcyone recalls helping raise Philomena from the day she was born. Philomena’s mother Iris had been given to her father Adam to practice torture skills on, but instead they fell in love and abandoned the Sargant’s to raise Philomena. Lisbeth waited until Philomena was old enough to be useful then sent men to retrieve her and Adam. Iris was murdered and Adam committed suicide to spite Lisbeth. Alcyone attempted to flee with Philomena but was captured so they wound up with the Sargant family. Now, with Philomena mutated Alcyone fears she has failed. The unknown woman is revealed as the goddess Dark Lady, wife of the Horned God, and she demands Chise pay what she is owed; the Golden Branch, a reference to mistletoe and a blood sacrifice, though the details are unclear. Elias delays her request, claiming Chise is too young. Dark Lady accepts Elias’ promise to pay in the future and directs Chise to return her ancient lost powers of war and conflict by calling her true name, Morrigan. Unleashed, Morrigan slaughters Lizbeth’s guards so Chise and her friends can reach the house. On the way the female werewolf attacks so Zoe sends everyone ahead while he fights the werewolf with his powers as a Gorgon.
