Vanessa is barraged by an onslaught of disturbing occult images brought on by the mysterious Evelyn Poole. Because of the massacre he committed in the Mariner’s Inn, Ethan believes he needs to leave London. Dr. Frankenstein works to bring Brona back to life while under the pressure from Caliban, who, in search of work after being let go at the Grand Guignol, applies at a wax museum. After Mina's funeral, Sir Malcolm returns to London to discover that a whole new evil is hunting Vanessa.
Tropes:
- Back from the Dead: Brona, to create a bride for Caliban.
- Bad Boss: Evelyn casually slits one underling's throat, then tells the others, "Take that bitch out."
- Big Fancy House: Evelyn's castle puts even Dorian and Sir Malcolm's mansions to shame.
- Black Magic: What Evelyn Poole and her coven practice.
- Black Speech: The Verbis Diablo.
- Blood Bath: Evelyn takes one in a large jacuzzi, complete with cigarette and creepy singing.
- The Bus Came Back: Gladys Murray.
- Continuity Nod: The song that Evelyn sings during her bath, "The Unquiet Grave," is the same song Vanessa sings while possessed by Peter in "Seance," and while she's wandering the maze in "Closer Than Sisters."
- The Oner: The impressive tracking shot that takes the audience throughout Evelyn's castle until it meets her smoking in her blood bath.
- Promotion to Opening Titles: Helen McCrory (Evelyn Poole), and Simon Russell Beale (Ferdinand Lyle) are added after being part of the recurring cast in the first season.
