* AndTheAdventureContinues: The episode, and thus the series, end with the unit inheriting the power of the First Song and the ability to use magic being spread to everyone in the entire world.

The world needs new stewards, needing their vision, their care, and their fury (looking at Tally the Seer, Raelle the Fixer, and Abigail who is storms). And they will be called goddesses.

* TheSwarm: Nicte directs her cauldron of bats to attack the troops in the Necro facility, giving the unit an assist in the fight.

Petra's office. Silver is out of his prison jumpsuit and back into a suit, preparing to deliver a speech. When he asks about Kara Brandt, Alban says she sends her regrets. He and his assistants prepare to have Silver's transmitted to the nation. He tells the viewers that as the ''rightful'' president, it is his duty to set the country right. While a surly Izadora stands in a corner, a disguised Sterling comes in, revealing himself to her, and tells her to that Penelope is in the basement and to make them pay. Silver continues to talk about the Wade that appeared at the hearing being a Witch impostor and other Wiccaphobic[[note]]fear of witches and witchcraft[[/note]] sentiments.

* OnlyMostlyDead: At the end of the previous episode, Izadora's throat was slit and Hearst lamented that he wouldn't have a chance to discuss her work with her. Nevertheless, it turns out in this episode that he was able to have her patched up for interrogation after all, whether through appropriated witches' healing work, surgical techniques or both. She still has a patch over her throat where it was cut.

* PlotHole: Izadora manages to survive after Alban's mooks slice her throat. It is unlikely anybody could have Fixed her in time, even if Alban had sent for a medic.

* OnlyMostlyDead: At the end of the previous episode, Izadora's throat was slit and Hearst lamented that he wouldn't have a chance to discuss her work with her. Nevertheless, it turns out in this episode that he was able to have her patched up for interrogation after all.

* InformedAttribute: Nicte claims to be a "really fun person". Alder acts incredulous ("Have you met yourself?")

* ContinuitySnarl: Didn't Izadora get her throat slit in last episode? And Alban did speak about the shame of being unable to discuss her work with her. Yet somehow Izadora is not only alive but able to be interrogated. Overlaps with PlotHole.

All wards (the Sheperd, Khalida, Noodin, Alder, Tally and Abigail), embodying the original Six Witches, sing. Raelle sings.

Alder goes back to talking for herself only. The Mother has let her known that her work is done. As she turns into mist, she delivers her last lines: "Thank you for changing the world, my daughters. When they call you goddesses, make sure you live up to it."

Our girls hold hands, and recite in Menishe "Let us begin." And the words are echoed by all the other witches.

Elimina, Ghana. Alder finds herself at the Elmina public market. She sees a storm forming. There is an explosion and a buzzing sound that puts most of the other people to sleep. A bunch of witch soldiers show up. Their leader recognizes Alder and knows she is back from the dead. In a confrontational manner, he orders her to state her business, considering her presence a military incursion. She uses her Mycelium power to disappear.

* InformedQuality: Nicte claims to be a "really fun person". Alder acts incredulous ("Have you met yourself?")

At the Necro lab, the gang continues to fight the faceless mooks, when the sound-killing tech is activated. It even muffles speaking voices. Alban Hearst is there, extremely proud of himself. "You don’t look too good. Fungal infection?," he asks Raelle with mock concern. He presses a remote and the mines planted outside go off, delivering fungicide directly to the Mycelium. Raelle collapses, with glowing TaintedVeins over her face. In Virginia, Alder is also affected, screaming in pain. And unexpectedly, so are Adil and Scylla. As Alban celebrates the happy accident, Tally and Abigail use their scourges some more. The MagiTek glitches, and they knockout the remaining mooks with a Windstrike. Tally worries that Alder might be affected too. If she does not find the last piece of the First Song, the world ends. Everybody dies. Gregorio shows up but so do more mooks. The sound-killing tech is back on. More fighting. Up in the sky, a cauldron of bats flies over Fort Salem and inside the facility, where they swarm the mooks but leave our heroes alone. Nicte Battan has shown up, announcing that Wade sent her.

Petra's office. Silver is out of his prison jumpsuit and back into a suit, preparing to deliver a speech. When he asks about Kara Brandt, Alban says she sends her regrets. He and his assistants prepare to have Silver's transmitted to the nation. He tells the viewers that as the ''rightful'' president, it is his duty to set the country right. With a surly Izadora stands in a corner, a disguised Sterling comes in, revealing himself to her, and tells her to that Penelope is in the basement and to make them pay. Silver continues to talk about the Wade that appeared at the hearing being a Witch impostor and other antiwitch sentiments.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: The episode, and thus the series, end with the unit inheriting the power of the First Song and the power to use magic being spread to everyone in the entire world.

* PleaseWakeUp: The heartbroken Sterling begs Anacostia to wake up after a Windstruck hurls a truck through the air and it crushes her. Petra tells him she's gone and that they need to keep going, almost pulling him off her body.

* WasItReallyWorthIt: Penelope Silver asks this of her father: was becoming the President worth sacrificing his only daughter to the Camarilla?

Alder goes back to talking for herself only. The Mother has let her known that her work is done. As she turns into mist, she delivers her last lines:
"Thank you for changing the world, my daughters. When they call you goddesses, make sure you live up to it."

* {{Glomp}}: Tally does this to Nicte when the latter shows up with a cauldron of bats to fight against the Camarillo forces.

And we start exactly where we left off: the bonfire, with a sick-looking Raelle claiming to be OK. Petra and Anacostia come to the group. To put it simply, the Camarilla picked a great time to take over Fort Salem since half the Army's forces remain in the Cession. They are blocking exits and entrances, interfering with both regular communication and Farspeech. They are focusing on the Necro facility and the Mycelial Chamber. But the Bellweather unit is ready to fight.

Izadora is alive despite getting her throat slit last episode! But she is tied to a chair and drugged, and Penelope is inside the chamber where she was reconstituted to human form. Alban Hearst is walking around the lab in full LargeHam mode. In his best FauxAffablyEvil manner, he asks her how's Basic and other small talk. She screams and turns into her nonhuman form, a black condensed mist. He asks that "it" be transported off site. Next he turns to Izadora, asking whether the Mother will shrivel or pop. Izadora laughs maniacally. "She's gonna kill you all," and laughs some more.

Alder finds herself in the Elmina Public Market, Elmina, Ghana. She sees a storm forming. There is an explosion and a buzzing sound that puts most of the other people to sleep. A bunch of witch soldiers show up. Their leader recognizes Alder and knows she is back from the dead. In a confrontational manner, he orders her to state her business, considering her presence a military incursion. She uses her Mycelium power to disappear.

Fort Salem. The gang, consisting of the Bellweather unit, Adil, Gregorio, Sterling, Petra and Anacostia. Petra instructs the unit to get to the Necro chamber by fighting their way through, but first get some scourges from the training area. Anacostia gives the unit a RousingSpeech tells the unit how awesome they are. There is a group hug before they run off to the training room to put on their combat gear. They split up with Gregorio going off to Petra, Sterling and Anacostia, and the rest fighting their way to the Necro facility. While using their scourges against their enemy troops, Adil and Abigail discuss honeymoon options, opting for the beach. Raelle can barely walk with Scylla's support

Outside, mines are being planted. And very large troops are seen. The quartet (Anacostia, Petra, Gregorio and Sterling) does a subsonic Work called Rings of Saturn that creates a tornado. And it works, scattering the troops, until one off them presses a button in their armor that breaks down the tornado and emits a shrill tone similar to nails on a chalkboard. A truck is thrown in their direction, and Anacostia sacrifices herself to save Petra and Sterling. Poor Sterling tells her to wake up. Petra has to pull him away from her and orders Gregorio to get back to the lab.

The unit keep fighting their way to the lab. Gregorio comes up and tells them about the new and updated MagiTek. It kills ALL sound, not just work. Fortunately it is rather glitchy and it needs constant adjusting. The unit run off to the lab, with troops down their neck.

National Library of Jamaica, Kingston. A voiceover reads notes from a ledger about receiving cargo from Ghana including "an uncanny one called Orageuse", a 19-year old female. As she checks an old and yellow registry of slaves, the voiceover says that she has already been sold to a planter in Roanoke Virginia, and good riddance, since allegedly she is a witch. Alder disappears just as a clerk brings her another book, she is already gone.

At the Necro lab, the gang continues to fight the faceless mooks, when they activate the sound-killing tech. It even muffles speaking voices. Alban Hearst is there, prancing about, extremely proud of himself. He addresses Raelle: "You don’t look too good. Fungal infection?" He presses a remote and the mines planted outside go off, delivering fungicide directly to the Mycelium. Raelle collapses, with glowing TaintedVeins over her face. In Virginia, Alder is also affected, screaming in pain. And unexpectedly, so are Adil and Scylla. As Alban celebrates the happy accident, Tally and Abigail use their scourges some more. The MagiTek glitches, and they knockout the remaining mooks with a Windstrike. Tally worries that Alder might be affected too. If she does not find the last piece of the First Song, the world ends. Everybody dies. Gregorio shows up but so do more mooks. The sound-killing tech is back on. More fighting. Up in the sky, a cauldron of bats flies over Fort Salem and inside the facility, where they swarm the mooks but leave our heroes alone. Nicte Battan has shown up, announcing that Wade sent her.

Alder wanders around an abandoned mansion and finds a dusty old book. Voiceovers tell us about the enslaved Orageuse. For starters, her real name was Jem and it was said of her that she had "mighty work in her". Her manumission was processed. On the walls of what appear to be slave quarters, there are illustrations of her calling up storms. Another voiceover: "Earth and Sky arrange themselves to her songs". There is a song Jem was afraid to sing that she learned from her grandmother. The song can make or break the world. This Jem was ''the'' Jem Bellweather, Abigail's ancestor.

Back in the office, with Izadora serving coffee, Alban instructs Silver to talk some more about how the "thing" they trotted out was not Wade and about "the Ghana situation" so they can blame Alder for starting World War III. The annoyed Silver finally tells Alban "to go eat a big pile of shit" since things are NOT going according to plan. Why are the mines planted at Fort Salem taking so long? Alban tells Silver to not let himself be seduced by doubt. He downs a cup of coffee and complains to Izadora that it is a little bitter. Going back in the air, Silver talks some more about Wade being a real patriot. He is interrupted by Alban gagging and spewing black threads that envelop his body completely and consume him from the inside. And where Alban stood once, there is Penelope Silver. Silver’s jaw drops. Penelope finally confronts her father. "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Was it worth it?]]". He tries telling her that he was told they would not harm her and claims that they were very powerful and made him watch as they injected her. "How about how powerful I am?" He hugs her, saying he is sorry and that he loves her. She says a plain, "You too." and turns into black threads again that envelop him and dissolve him into a pile of black goo.

The Mycelium. Alder shows up with the other stewards including Khalida, and tells Tally to trust her. Tally tells her she understands everything, but where is the last steward? Alder goes to Abigail and tells her about Jem Bellweather. Apparently, Jem's status as one of the most powerful witches in the Army's history. The song is in Abigail, even if the history of the stewardship was stolen from her family. She asks Alder how she will know how to sing it. Alder tells her that she will know.

BOOM.

At Alder's request (and she provides a lighter), Nicte changes her face back to its original version, pre-disfigurement. Alder apologizes for what she did to Nicte and how it harmed her. In turn Nicte apologizes to Alder

Thank you for changing the world, my daughters. When they call you goddesses, make sure you live up to it.

%% Full recap will be posted later. Please feel free to expand list of tropes

The SeriesFinale. The Camarilla have taken over Fort Salem. But the Bellweather unit and their allies are ready to fight back.

In the meantime, Alder continues to search for the final piece of the First Song, starting out in Ghana, then heading to Jamaica, and finally, a plantation in Roanoke, Virginia.

* AndTheAdventureContinues: The episode, and thus the series, end with the unit inheriting the power of the 1st song and the power to use magic being spread to everyone in the entire world.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Alban Hearst was responsible for creating the Witchplague (engineered to only kill witches) and Silver allowed the Camarilla to infect his daughter with it and use her as a weapon. Penelope turns the tables on them, using her plague ability to kill them. And judging by Silver's screaming, it is a painful way to die.

* RousingSpeech: Anacostia gives one to the Bellweather unit before they run off to arm themselves:
-->'''Anacostia''': I just wanna say how proud I am to know all three of you. The moment we met, I knew there was something else. This odd, beautiful, precisely perfect combination of your talents. Everybody saw it. Everybody knew. Never doubt that, all right? Never doubt what you've built. And look out for that one. ''(points to Scylla)''.

* TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Izadora serves coffee to Alban Hearst, who complains about the bitter taste. It was laced with Penelope's essence, which kills him when she rematerializes.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Penelope to her father: "Was it worth it?"

* WasItWorthIt: Penelope Silver asks this of her father. She does not get an actual answer, just some excuses about the Camarilla promising not to harm her and they being so powerful he had to do it.
