Recap / His Dark Materials S 3 E 4 Lyra And Her Death

In the Land of the Dead, Lyra and Will are sent to a holding area where humans await death. There they learn that every person has a "Death", a figure that accompanies them unseen throughout life until it is time to die. Although Will and Pan suggest turning back, Lyra summons her Death, who agrees to take them to the waterway where dead beings crossover. The boatman denies Pan passage, saying daemons cannot enter the Land of the Dead. Lyra and Will cross while Pan and Will's as yet unseen daemon stay behind. Mrs Coulter returns to the Magisterium. Claiming to still be loyal, Coulter tries convincing MacPhail that she can protect Lyra from temptation. Commander Roke, who stowed away on the Intention Craft, helps Coulter find Dr Cooper's laboratory where she is manufacturing a directional bomb. Roke attacks Dr Cooper and takes the lock of Lyra's hair that will guide the bomb to her. Mrs Coulter burns the hair, then attempts to escape but is recaptured. MacPhail, who retained some of Lyra's hair, says he will sever Mrs Coulter from her daemon and use the released energy to trigger the bomb and assassinate Lyra. In a new world, Mary encounters a large quadruped mammal that brings her food and appears to communicate.
