#A diarly of witches series

She kills Benjamin with a perfectly weaved Tenth Knot spell that comes in the form of an arrow, almost as if the Goddess herself is sanctioning the punishment. In the previous episode Diana wrote Sarah a spell to kill Knox in revenge for Emily now Diana spellbinds Satu with ease, fully knowing it’s the worst thing you could do to an unwilling witch. I particularly enjoyed that the show didn’t shy away from the good guys exacting vengeance. Diana Bishop is an angel of justice, an instrument of the Goddess herself, sent to right all wrongs. When she comes face to face with the vampire and the witch who’ve made their lives hell, it’s not so much a fight as it is a reckoning. Benjamin and Satu were never really the pointĭiana is at the abandoned hospital in Chelm with Baldwin, Miriam, Gallowglass and Marcus, but she chooses to face her enemies alone in order to protect her friends. He didn’t throw him to the wolves with the Congregation, and he’s sure as hell going to show up in his time of greatest need. Even though he and his brother fought, Baldwin never for a second entertained the idea of abandoning Matthew to his own devices. Some may argue that Baldwin’s change of heart was unexpected, that it’s not realistic that he would be at Diana’s beck and call after all the times she’s threatened to kill him over a disagreement. The pride on their faces is mirrored by ours as we watch Diana do what she does best: exceed all expectations. Matthew, bless his heart, has also finally got one thing through his thick vampire head: Diana needs support, not protection. He recognizes Diana as his blood-sworn sister and then goes one step further towards giving up his seat on the Congregation for her. Gradually, Baldwin comprehends what Philippe’s vision was.

No matter the empty threats he’s made throughout the series to disown Matthew, the moment his brother is in danger Baldwin does not hesitate to join Diana, not even considering the risk to his own life, let alone his precious reputation. This season has been all about seeing Baldwin’s perspective.īaldwin may bark from time to time, but we’ve now learned he never bites. In the former, Diana takes control of a catastrophic situation as Baldwin makes his entrance he turns out to be the missing piece of the puzzle they desperately needed.

If the first scene of the episode is frantic and the last scene blissful. It makes sense that the final episode has a circular structure: it opens and closes with family at Sept-Tours, and the last words spoken are a new spin on Matthew’s voiceover from the very first episode of season 1. The show’s final chapter opens doors for all creatures. Because as Philippe used to say, endings are new beginnings. If one symbol could describe the show, it would be the Ouroboros on the de Clermont crest, a serpent biting its own tail in a never-ending knot. At the end of the day, love triumphs and the good guys win, but the real victory is the change they’ve been able to bring to the world. Some events might seem sudden, but the episode encompasses everything this story is about. The series finale makes some bold creative choices. Diana Bishop went out with a bang: not only did she single-handedly save her husband, get rid of the bad guys and uncover genetic secrets at the basis of the creatures’ very existence, she also dismantled an outdated government based on prejudice and segregation… all in one episode.
