Alice instantly faces her previous and along with her coven in a incredible musical quantity worthy of her personal rockstar mother’s stage.
Alice’s Curse Has Been Haunting Her Household for Generations
Viewers may need thought that Alice’s aim for strolling the Witches’ Street was to search out her mom. In actuality, she desires to interrupt her household’s curse as soon as and for all. The fourth episode confirmed that the curse is generational, and from what we have seen, the curse appears to strike on the girls of Alice’s household bloodline. We see a part of this in Episode 3 when Alice hallucinates her mom, Lorna Wu (Elizabeth Anweis). Lorna sobbed to her daughter that when her personal mom died, she may really feel it from 1000’s of miles away. She tells Alice that it is her flip now and that “it” goes to kill her. We nonetheless do not know the origin of the curse, nevertheless it’s a deep-rooted worry that Alice has to the purpose the place she purposely forgets all the things her mom taught her due to the curse and the havoc it is wrought on her household. It took her mom away; it is onerous to say her anger is not justified.
Lorna Wu Made a Safety Spell
So how did Alice survived for thus lengthy even with the curse on her tail? Alice involves study with Agatha’s assist that the rock and roll model of the Ballad of the Witches’ Road that her mom carried out is definitely a safety spell. Lorna’s presence introduced the 70s again with the costumes the coven wore throughout the trial.

We see this when Alice talks to Teen (Joe Locke) concerning the tattoo on her forearm in Episode 3, which serves to keep at bay curses. Her mom made her get that tattoo when Alice was solely 13. Given the influence the curse has on her household, it is smart why Alice would not wish to imagine in magic and witchcraft. She distanced herself from her magic and put her household’s curse behind her thoughts.
In Episode 4, the trial facilities round Alice and her previous. The curse will get lifted from her and slowly transferred to the opposite coven members. They need to cease it earlier than the curse finally ends up killing them. To take action, the coven has to carry out Lorna’s model of the Ballad.

With the gang all singing a rock ballad of Witches’ Street, Alice faces the curse because the room round them is ready ablaze. Who would have thought that the facility of music would save the day? She lastly sees what the curse that tormented her seems like: a demonic-looking creature. By embracing her magic, Alice and her coven are in a position to destroy the creature and certain put an finish to the curse on her bloodline. By the top of the episode, Alice not feels anger over her mom’s loss of life. There’s nonetheless disappointment there, however now she is going to have the ability to cope and transfer ahead slightly than stay stagnant.
