'Witches of East End' Recap: An end for the new start

'Witches Of East End' Recap: An end for the new start

Mädchen Amick warned the fans to stay tuned until the final moments of the Witches of East End season finale, and she is not kidding at all. It definitely kept everyone nailed on the finale, pointing at TV screen shouting, "SHUT UP!" or "I KNEW IT!" Joanna's mantra for the entire two hours consisted of three words: "This ends now."

And boy, did a lot of things end. Let's power through the first hour, shall we?

Joanna
The Beauchamps are still in 1840. Joanna has gone to meet her former self and Ingrid in the cemetery so she can commandeer the magical soul-sucking box.

Wendy
Aunt Wendy lost the magical key to the time door. If they don't find it in the next hour, they will be stuck in 1840.

Freya
While helping Aunt Wendy look for the time-door key, Freya runs into Edgar Alan Poe.

 Tarkoff

Tarkoff follows Joanna into the woods. After she gets the soul-sucking box from her other self, Tarkoff attacks her, grabs the box, and disappears. 

Killian
Killian begins hallucinating after taking the potion that is going to kill him. He passes out and sees Freya in a dream.

Ingrid
Ingrid rushes over to help Killian, certain that his dream was actually a vision from Freya advising him to ingest lotus root. It will slow down the process but not stop it. Ingrid tells him to take the medicine every 15 minutes.

Freddie
When he's not kissing up to his grandfather, Freddie is tattling on Ingrid. It appears that she has doubts because Dash aka Bastian from Asgard is talking her out of going back to Asgard. 

King Nicholas
Grandfather is not happy to hear his granddaughter is frolicking with Bastian. He must send a message.

Dash
King Nicholas arrives at Fair Haven and tells Dash that he misses the old Bastian. The King knows Dash has "tasted blood," and he also knows he enjoyed it. Dash later confesses to Ingrid that her grandfather came for a visit, threatened him, and therefore must be stopped.

Now let's move on to the second hour.

Joanna, Wendy, and Freya all reconvene at the saloon. Joanna is hot that she lost the box to Tarkoff, and when she spies him at the bar, she tells the others to meet her at the time door in 10 minutes. She's about to open a can on Tarkoff. Meanwhile, Aunt Wendy has located the missing key. There's only one problem. It's tucked away safely in the ample bosom of 1840 Wendy.

Back at Fair Haven, Detective Raven shows up in her trench coat. Not so fast, Dash. She's here on business, not pleasure. She begins peppering him with questions about Archibald Browning and how Fair Haven's history is full of witchcraft and occult ceremonies.

The King begins monologuing about the wonder that is Asgard. Freddie slowly creeps up behind him with a dagger, convinced he is seconds away from killing his grandfather. The rest of us knew better.

Too bad Joanna is paralyzed. Tarkoff shoots her up with drugs, tells her he loves her, then seduces her. It was disturbing. The concoction soon runs out and Tarkoff is forced to go get some more.

Detective Raven is back at Fair Haven per Dash's request. He demands she give him back the dark and twisty journals; she claims to not know what he is talking about. What she does know is that there are five federal agents outside, and there's a search warrant in her hand.

Later that day, Freddie wakes up, heals himself, and heads to Dash's house with Ingrid. They are furious when Dash tells them he has no idea where the journals are, and Ingrid is even more angry when he admits that he read every single one. It turns out this is a good thing. Freddie can pull information from Dash's brain just by placing his hands on his head and chanting. 

Cut back to 1840. Freya is frantic as Wendy and Joanna run through the streets, with Tarkoff close behind. Ingrid opens a new time door and calls them all to her. Just as the last one flies through the opening, the door closes and Tarkoff eats brick wall.

The family reunion celebration lasts about six seconds before Aunt Wendy vanishes. Ingrid fills everyone in. Grandpa wants their powers. He's already taken hers and she's learned that they all have unique gifts. There's the traveler (Freya), the key (Ingrid), the dagger (Joanna), and the bridge (Wendy.) If they all work together, they can defeat the King. Freddie is instructed to stay at Fair Haven for his safety. 

Joanna calls Freddie and doesn't seem a bit concerned that her son isn't answering his phone during this time of crisis. She leaves a message telling him that his grandfather is dead. Guess who else is dead?

Freddie. In the Fair Haven attic. With a dagger to the gut. And a lovely message written in blood next to his body that reads, "Death to witches."

Now, who in East End hates witches? Aunt Wendy leans over Tommy's body. A Snow White kiss doesn't work on him, but she does have something that will. She transfers her last life into Tommy's body and collapses right beside him. Her necklace turns black.

What did you think of the season finale? Is King Nicholas dead? Is Freddie dead? Will Aunt Wendy stay dead? Could there be any more death on this series? Will Freya and Killian ever get to be Frillian? Here's looking forward to securing season 3, might be a more exciting one!
