Building bridges between worlds isn’t an easy task, but it makes for a captivating over-arching theme in Deborah Harkness’
A Discovery of Witches homes in on the prejudiced attitudes that pose as obstacles to building those very bridges. The question of if people (or creatures, in this case) are capable of change is one thing; what ends up being compromised is entirely another.
The episode begins with Diana’s aunts, Emily (Valarie Pettiford) and Sarah (Alex Kingston), as they adjust to their new circumstances, living in hiding while Matthew and Diana are time-traveling. They are staying at Sept Tours, the territory of the de Clermont family, and their hostess Ysabeau (Lindsay Duncan), Matthew’s vampire mother who is infamous for her murder sprees of witches. To say things are tense is bit of an overstatement, but it shows just how extraordinary their situation is.
