Mayfair Witches Season 2 Episode 4, “Double Helix” Recap

AMC’s Mayfair Witches is back with Episode 4 of Season 2, titled “Double Helix.” This episode continues Rowan’s intense journey as she faces family secrets, dangerous forces and her own abilities. This episode mixes past and present, showing important events and keeping viewers excited. Vamos a revisar todo.

The episode starts with a flashback showing Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) and Lark (Ben Feldman) fixing up her houseboat. Their fun chemistry creates the mood for their apparently perfect relationship. The harmony breaks when Lark admits that he has received a job offer from the Keplinger Institute in New York—a choice he made without talking to Rowan. Rowan, feeling shocked and hurt, brings up their plans for residency next year. Lark then reveals that he isn’t as dedicated to their surgical career. The scene ends with Rowan closing off emotionally, making their future unclear.

Back in the present, Rowan’s chaotic life is in full swing. Moira (Alyssa Jirrels) wakes up Rowan after Ciprien (Tongayi Chirisa) accidentally knocks her out. Moira encourages Rowan to fix the problem with Jojo (Jen Richards) and Daphne (Olive Abercrombie), who are stuck in a supernatural spell inside the house. Although she tries to bring them out, Rowan feels restricted without Lasher nearby to boost her abilities. She is tired and agrees to keep trying, but it’s obvious she needs assistance.

While this is happening, Sip looks into whether Lasher is really being held at the Talamasca headquarters. After searching the facility, he finds no record of Lasher’s detention. Sip, feeling suspicious, confronts Mawbel (Melissa Chambers). She admits there is proof that Lasher was captured near the First Street house, but nothing more is known. Keen to find the truth, Sip leads a team to look for Albrecht (Dennis Boutsikaris) and discovers his abandoned car under a bridge. Even after searching the area and using his psychic powers, Sip finds no clear signs of Lasher’s location.

Rowan, still dealing with her feelings, calls Lark and decides to meet him for breakfast. Ella usa la excusa de estar de resaca para desviar la atención de su comportamiento extraño. Rowan avoids Lark’s questions about her life, making their conversation tense. When Lark mentions the blood sample she sent, asking if it’s from a family member, Rowan avoids the question, saying that patient confidentiality prevents him from answering. Lark, feeling frustrated, blames her for pushing him away, which makes their conflict worse.

At the Mayfair house, Moira attempts to communicate with Daphne by writing notes and showing them, but it doesn’t work. Ryan (Frank Monteleone) calls Moira to tell her about a family meeting scheduled to remove Rowan as the leader of the Mayfair family. Suddenly, the house starts to behave strangely—lights flash and break, and the building feels like it’s alive. While trapped in a room by Rowan, Cortland (Harry Hamlin) meets his sister Millie (Geraldine Singer). Their tense reunion turns into a fight, and during the argument, Cortland accidentally causes part of the ceiling to fall down.

Sip finally gets a vision that shows Albrecht’s plans. He watches Albrecht comforting Lasher (Jack Huston) that they are going to a safe place away from Rowan. Angry, Sip understands how deep Albrecht’s betrayal goes. Rowan contacts Sip to ask for his help in moving Lasher closer to the house so they can free Jojo and Daphne. However, Sip admits that neither he nor the Talamasca has Lasher, which puts Rowan and Moira in a difficult situation.

Desperate for answers, Rowan and Moira ask Cortland if he knows where Albrecht has taken Lasher. Cortland admits he doesn’t know but proposes that they could reach out to Julien, Rowan’s ancestor who has passed away, for advice. Cortland explains that Julien tied himself to a victrola before he died, which lets him stay in the physical world. Rowan and Moira go to get the victrola from Dolly Jean (Charlayne Woodard) and tell Cortland to wait there.

Rowan and Moira get to Dolly Jean’s house and see her dancing in a trance to the victrola. Evelyn (K. Steele) appears and says that Julien’s spirit lives in the victrola, which helps him stay connected to Dolly Jean and Evelyn. This discovery shows the strong connections between the Mayfair family and their supernatural background, along with the efforts they’ve made to keep their power.

While Rowan manages the victrola, Sip’s problems get worse. Los agentes de Talamasca de Ámsterdam, dirigidos por Polina Vilkov (Mariana A. Novak), llegan para hacerse cargo de la situación de Lasher. Polina asks Sip about Albrecht’s plans, but Sip acts like he doesn’t know anything. She tells him to pack for a trip to Amsterdam, suggesting that people are questioning his loyalty to the Talamasca. Before leaving, Sip finds a piece of paper with the word “Taltos,” which refers to Anne Rice’s novels and might hint at Lasher’s true goal.

While Rowan and Moira get ready to face Julien’s spirit with the victrola, Lark collects a sample of Rowan’s drink for testing, which might reveal some secrets she wants to keep hidden. Sip’s standing in the Talamasca becomes more unstable as he gets ready for questioning in Amsterdam. Meanwhile, the Mayfair house is falling apart, showing the disorder affecting the family. With the stakes at an all-time high, Rowan has to deal with her broken relationships, supernatural dangers, and the burden of her family background to keep her loved ones safe.
