A Discovery of Witches 3×02 saw Diana and Matthew getting Jack back. Not only that, they were tested as parents and partners when said reunion doesn’t go as well as expected. Nonetheless, this is a great start to a storyline that proves how perfect these two are for each other. In addition, this episode reminded us why we love the supporting cast of this show, from the heroes to the villains.
Communication When It Comes to Jack
Jack is Diana and Matthew’s son. And no matter how much time has passed on A Discovery of Witches 3×02 will change that. Neither will the fact that he’s a vampire with blood rage. He needs their help. That doesn’t mean that it’s easy for either Diana and Matthew. Diana wants to help him no matter what. And Matthew understands what it is to live with this and must make a hard decision for his family. Good thing he doesn’t have to do it alone.
Watching Diana and Matthew discuss what to do speaks of a relationship that is strong but that also has a lot of growing to do. Because Diana and Matthew don’t agree on everything. It would be kind of boring if they did. But they talk to each other and most importantly they listen to each other. And it’s most important to do that when it comes to their son and what kind of influence he’s going to have in the world.
Honestly, we had a feeling that Jack was going to be the blood rage vampire. Who else would steal those portraits? And so far we’re enjoying the storyline and the way that it’s pushing Diana and Matthew. They’re reexamining who they are while preparing themselves for the challenges that come with having a creature child. Because the babies are going to be something wonderous, new, and absolutely a handful to deal with.
Phoebe and Chris Are the Real MVP’s
A Discovery of Witches is doing a great job at making us fall in love with Phoebe and Chris. Seriously, major props to this show for giving us Diana and Matthew as leads. But major kudos to this show for giving us supporting characters who breathe a different kind of life into this show. Because, yes, they support the leads. But they are their own characters with their own woes, fears, and achievements.
Phoebe, we weren’t too sure of. We’re not going to lie when it comes to that one. She felt like an outsider to an already tight family. She quickly proved how valuable, loyal, and resourceful she was. Plus Marcus deserves a little loving with a powerful woman in her own right. A Discovery of Witches 3×02 saw Phoebe using her strengths to help the team while standing her ground and supporting Marcus. We stan.
Then there’s Chris. He’s a huge gamble as well. But he understands the importance of this research and he cares for Diana. There’s no way that he’s going to break her trust. Plus if Diana trusts him, so do we. And he was right to ask for more people. Because this research can’t wait for years when Diana is only going to be pregnant for 9 months. His tenacity and honesty make him a character to watch out for and one we already care for.
What Did Satu Do to Knox?
Another week, another section of our review about Satu. Look, we can’t help it. We like how messy she is. Sure, Diana is our #1. But Satu is so messy and interesting this season that we can’t help to want to see more of her. She’s different this season; more sure of herself. And that’s what we want to see from all of our women characters when it comes to A Discovery of Witches.
Satu is tired of everyone around her. They think that Diana is the one that was prophesized. But Satu feels the power running through her veins and sees herself just as powerful but more skilled than Diana. Too bad she doesn’t know that Diana is more sure of herself and her powers than she’s ever been in her life. This obviously foreshadows a throwdown between these two that we can’t wait to watch.
Then there’s what she did to Knox. There was something there in that power she displayed. It wasn’t to be a showman like Knox is 24/7. That was pure intent meant to hurt. And that smile that had as she walked away was confirmation that she knows what she’s doing while all the men are squabbling overpower and how to one-up each other. She’s here to win. And if the vampires, witches, and daemons don’t watch out, she will.
A Discovery of Witches season 3 airs every Saturday.
