Story Recap and Episode 2 Preview
Season 2 picks up one year after the events that tore the town of Sanctuary apart. Witches Sarah Fenn and her daughter Harper have been living in hiding in Scotland as anti-witch laws lead to increased hate crimes. Sarah returns to Sanctuary after learning about the murder of a man named Ryan, the assistant of her friend DCI Maggie Knight.
The investigation reveals the killer used witchcraft, and Sarah receives a threatening package containing a lock of Harper’s hair, forcing her to help find the murderer. Separately, Harper, who is struggling to control her growing powers, has begun a road trip with a mysterious man named Lachlan. The first episode ended with a major reveal: Lachlan is Harper’s father.
The official description for Episode 2 states:
“Following the discovery of a sigil at the crime scene, Sarah and Maggie determine that they have to dig deeper into the killer’s identity; having discovered Lachlan’s identity, Harper grapples with her feelings towards him.”
The episode will focus on Sarah and Maggie using the magical sigil as a clue, while Harper deals with the emotional shock of learning the truth about her companion.
