[woman] Previously,
onMotherland...

[Alder]
Welcome to Fort Salem.

Some of you
will place at War College,

others, will join
the front lines.

-The Spree are ruthless.
-[people screaming]

This was your mama's. Wear it
in combat, keep you safe.

[Raelle] I think my mom
was tired when she died.

-[Izadora] Did you touch that?
-Is it dangerous?

It's just better
if it's left alone.

Let's just say it's
part of a mushroom.

-I'm Adil.
-[Abigail] He's cute.

Can I eat my breakfast before
you start planning my wedding?

Awfully nice to meet your
girlfriend, Raelle.

No matter what happens,
I'm with you.

I saw a balloon.
I think Scylla is Spree.

-How'd you get out?
-[Scylla] Anacostia helped me.

What if we can send her back
to them to be our eyes?

You were supposed to
bring me my daughter.

Our ancient enemy has returned!
This is the Camerilla!

-She's dying!
-Take me!

Thank you, daughter.

-[squelches]
-[gasps]

You gotta break the link

or I'm gonna
take you with me.

Not gonna happen, Collar!

No!

[anxious chatter]

[theme music plays]

[engine droning]

You're okay.

[sobbing]

[sighs] I keep thinking,
why not us?

How is it?

It's unlike anything I have--

I should--

I can't sleep.

Come here, come here.
[grunts]

That's because we're in the sky

where the majestic winds reside.

Here.

She gave me this.

One of the ones we left behind.

Is that why she died?

No.

[kisses]

It's hard to sleep
on these things.

My mother used to sing a song
when I couldn't sleep.

A song older than time.

[vocalizing]

[echoing vocals]

[glass clinks on table]

Why didn't you tell me
you were her mom?

I couldn't risk it.

How could you send me in blind?!

You burned me with the Army
for a personal mission.

And then you sent
that charming agent

to choke me into compliance?

And when I don't deliver Raelle,

you send in the troops
to attack a wedding!

That, my dear, was not us.

What kind of strategy
is that, exactly?

You are not hearing me!

The attack on
the Bellweather wedding

had nothing to do
with the Spree.

There is something else
I need to show you.

Please.

[sighs]

[whooshing]

[dishes clinking]

[echoing] We're closed
for a private party.

[sizzles]

[beeps]

[high pitch ringing]

Two [indistinct] who just
brought in 61 million hits.

[glasses clink]

You honor us all!

We are the Spree.

[glass breaks]

[pops, piercing zaps]

[echoing screams]

[intense whooshes]

[gasps]

They got half our leadership
in one strike.

-Who are they?
-The ancient enemy has returned.

The Camarilla.

I want you to join me
in hunting them.

Our mission is not about
the Army, anymore.

At least, for me.

And why would I
do anything for you?

Because you are a witch!

And these people
intend to end us all,

Army and Spree.

[sighs]

[plane flies by]

I'm sorry.

You're more than that.

You're reckless and vain
and out of control.

[hissing]

It's all you want.

You took my girl from me.

Do you have any idea
what this means for my family?

Abigail is the last viable--

It was Abigail's choice to come,
and a brave one, at that.

[thunder cracks and rumbles]

I marked you with this, Sarah.

Ohh.

[voice breaking]
I'm so sorry.

Me-- Me, too.

[crying]

What say the Rangers
and the Tarim?

Nothing conclusive.

The blast radius
continues to warp climate

in ways that are visible to us.

What is most curious is that,
while diminishing,

the blast zone is noticeably
on the move.

General Bellweather, you
must take the time you need--

Soldier first, mother second.

Right?

I just received intelligence
that the Spree was attacked

a week ago in Belgium,
just before the soccer stadium.

At least six major operatives
were taken down

by weaponized plagues.

The same plague
that took our Biddy.

And almost killed Khalida.

The Tarim are a lure.

To get me out in the open.

They dressed that poor woman
like my sister.

Burned my soldiers before
my eyes, like the old days.

-The Camarilla.
-I should've believed you.

I was blinded by my own trauma.

They found some way,
not just to dampen our work,

but proximate it.

-In a crude but effective way.
-How?

The vocal chords.
The Camarilla took their voices

and contrived some way
to use the necrotized tissue.

They wanted it to
look like the Spree

so they could bide their time.

And harvest our voices
to use them against us.

Excuse me, Generals. I believe
you'll want to see this.

[cranks]

...is a day Vice President
Silver and his family

will not soon forget.

A day his daughter, Penelope,
found out

that she has
a very special gift.

♪ ... the rolling thunder ♪

♪ Thy power throughout... ♪

Imagine not knowing
what you are.

Just like those
last Bellweathers

who were attacked
when they got Charvel.

Silver's daughter
will need to be tested.

Goddess knows how many more
are out there.

We need to find them.

Agreed. We need to get to them

before the Camarilla does.

[Abigail]
Quite the blast radius.

[panting] Gotta be
at least ten miles, shit-bird.

You know, if you keep calling me
shit-bird every two seconds,

it's not gonna be special,
anymore.

And I really want it
to be special.

-Shut up. [chuckles]
-[chuckles]

I think the outpost is
60 miles past that ridge.

[flies buzzing]

Sun's going down,
we should keep moving.

We did this.

We have to show this to someone
as soon as we get back.

[scoffs] You're assuming
we're getting back.

They must have Rangers
looking for us.

Not if they think we're dead.

We have an obligation
to show Alder.

And then what? We spend
the rest of our lives in a lab?

I don't want that, Abs. No way.

I don't think you're
appreciating

how big this could be.

We could be canon, Rae.

Canon, huh? Sounds impressive.

See? What did I tell ya?

I'm Abigail Bellweather,
Private First Class.

This is Raelle Collar.

Stand down, soldier.
We'll see who you are

and whose faces
you might be wearing.

Until we do, you ladies
are in custody.

[metal clangs]

What happened here?

We found him like that.

Follow us.

[quiet, indistinct chatter]

Sit down.

Have I done something wrong?

Not at all. What you've
done for me,

the sacrifice you've made,
can never be repaid.

I am so grateful!

[Biddies in unison]
We are so grateful.

You're welcome.

Becoming a Biddy is
something people usually

have years to prepare for.

Years of training and careful
evaluation to identify traits.

I can catch up.

Tally?

I would like to offer you
something very rare.

An opportunity to
resume your life as it was.

I made a decision
and I stand by it.

This is my way to serve.

It's not an order,
it's an offer.

I want you to
think about it, carefully.

This process is
not without serious risks.

But you're strong.

I've seen that, first hand.

[knock on door]

[indistinct conversation]

General...

[indistinct conversation]

[gasps]

[gasps]

[gasps in pain]

They're alive!

Abigail and Raelle are
about to board transport home.

[crying] They're alive.

Yes, my answer is yes.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, so much.

I'm saying something
about what we did.

Even if you don't.
It's the right thing to do.

Thank you.

Don't Bellweather me.

You don't get to decide
what's the right thing to do.

Abigail, why should we trust
Alder with this?

Do you trust me?
Because I basically

just followed you
into death, sis.

[footsteps approach]

Lieutenant, we have something
we'd like to discuss--

You two must have been up to
some really wild stuff.

I've just been ordered
not to debrief you.

[pounds] Off you go.
Goddess help you.

[engine revs]

[indistinct chatter]

Vice President Lanton Silver.

[sighs]

How's your daughter?

The picture of bravery
and composure,

-as per usual.
-Hm.

Unlike me, on the other hand.
[chuckles]

So, I need you to explain to me
one more time,

What is-- What is this
matriline?

Our men are born
with the work in them,

just like their sisters,

and some of them
are quite powerful.

But they don't pass it
to their offspring.

So, our government
tracks witch-hood

along the maternal line,
the matriline.

So, you're saying that
my wife was, um...

-one of you?
-[inhales sharply]

But she didn't know
and she definitely

[chuckling]
didn't melt any windows.

So, how exactly does that work?

There are many reasons why

people lose touch
with their histories.

Some choose to hide
from their duty.

Your wife probably had
some inkling

that she was one of... us.

Well, unfortunately,
we can't ask her.

I'm sorry for your loss.

But we won't know for sure
until we test Penelope.

All of this is a bit premature.

I'm sure you understand
how delicate this is,

considering who I am.

You've already met
Sergeant Quartermain.

She helps new conscripts--

It's probably best
just to get to the point.

I'm concerned that Penelope
will become a target.

We appreciate your concerns.

But if we do find the work
in Penelope,

she must deliver herself
bodily to Fort Salem

for training in
the military arts.

-[clears throat]
-It's the law of the land.

No exceptions.

So, you're asking me
to give you my daughter?

And my daughter's daughters,
in perpetuity.

As our kind have done
for centuries,

to keep this country safe.

And you can keep Penelope safe?

Can you actually
guarantee her safety?

Don't worry, Mr. Vice President,
we take care of our own.

[brakes squeal]

[thunder rumbles]

Oh!

-I'm sorry--
-Don't.

I am so very proud
of what you did.

It was a classic
Bellweather move,

against the odds,
in the face of oblivion,

full of grit and
the kind of sisterhood

this Army was built on.

You may be the greatest
Bellweather yet, my daughter.

Is there any chance
we could see Tally?

Oh!

[chuckles] Uh, come along,
that's where I'm taking you.

We-we don't have much time.

I won't take the second chance
for granted.

I love you, daughter.

I love you too, Mom.

Are you real?

[chuckles]

-Hm.
-[gasps]

-Hi.
-Hi!

[girls all giggle]

-[laughs]
-Tally.

What happened?

We wanna ask you that.
You're-- You're you.

-[chuckles]
-She let me out.

Did you mess up?

God, she promised
it wasn't that

and I am trying to believe her.

I mean, guys, you dream
for years to be a Biddy.

-Could you hear her thoughts?
-Sort of?

Surface stuff. Like, directives,
I could hear loud and clear.

Not so much memories.

And I could hear
the Biddies, too.

It was like being in a car
with the same people

on a road trip
that never ends.

No privacy, like, ever!

Okay, so, does she
really not eat?

No, not a morsel.

Loves her wine.

Why are we talking about wine?
[laughs]

You guys are alive!

That explosion, that
was you two, right?

How did you do that?

Uhh, we don't know,
exactly, but, um...

it was definitely us.

It was so big.
You guys are a bomb.

-[laughs]
-Yeah, but, uh,

Rae doesn't think we should
tell Alder what we can do.

Well, we just-- We-we
don't even know what it is yet,

you know, or-or
if we can do it again.

So, don't you think
we should wait?

And also, Alder's Alder,
let's not forget--

Meaning?

Wow, a little defensive.

[sighs]

I know she's complicated,
but I believe in her.

Look, complicated or not, she's
the head of the Armed Forces.

Who else are we gonna
show what we can do?

Uh, how 'bout no one?

Those people who ambushed us

are the same people
that killed Charvel.

-And how do you know that?
-They had the same tech.

This sonic shit
that blocks vocal work.

This thing we can do
can help us fight them.

I thought you were dead.

We thought you were old.

[laughs]

[Khalida] You're tired.
When you're recovered,

we should continue
to search for home.

[sighs] Why not here?

You know how I feel
about this place.

After everything Alder's
done for us,

for our people and what's left?

[scoffs] Why is this
the worst place?

Is this because Abigail's back?

Perhaps.

It's more about not wanting
to run anymore.

[thunder rumbles]

[scoffs]

We should at least
consider our options.

You're right.

Again.

Come on.

[Adler] So, the Camarilla agent
stabs you,

and then, you link with her.

Yes, ma'am. But Raelle
was too messed up to move.

I was just keeping her alive
at that point.

I told her to
break the link with me

or else I would
pull her into death.

And you maintained the link?

Correct. There was
another Camarilla--

Is this the person
who stabbed Raelle?

No, I don't think so.

It's very important that we get
the details right.

We could definitely do that.

We could break everything
down to powder

and put it in neat little piles.

Or, we could cut to the chase.

[sighs]

The blast was us.

We don't know how,
but this force

protects us
when we're threatened.

While we don't understand this
work yet, we will master it.

Let's continue to
break this down...

to powder.

Yes, ma'am.

[dog barks in distance]

How many did they get?

Six.

Women I've known for years.

Bright, brilliant,
dangerous women,

gone, like that.

The leadership that remains

is none too happy
with what I did next.

After Brussels,
I was put in charge

of the attack on
the soccer stadium.

You don't any of this?

No. Well--

Thanks to your mission,
I was locked up.

I switched it up.

I traded catastrophe
for information.

[wood creaking]

I warned all witches everywhere

that the Camarilla is back.
I hope they heard me.

[creaking]

That's a fetch.

[Willa] We're on the move.
She's been tracked.

[vocalizing]

[whooshes]

Is there anything else
you soldiers want to share?

It's all we can remember.

Good.

I want you to train them
to wield this new gift,

immediately. Dismissed.

Actually, I had a few questions.

For example?

I wanna know who those
people were. The Camarilla.

And I wanna know how they're
connected to Charvel's death,

because I know that they are.

Abigail, I'm going to order you
to stand down on this.

They attacked my family.
They almost killed me.

I wanna fight these people
with everything that I have.

You need to let more experienced
soldiers handle this.

How can I stand down?

[Adler] By putting that passion
into your training, cadet.

Master this new weapon
as promised.

Then we can talk about
the Camarilla.

That's an order.

[gasps]

[breathing heavily]

I really missed you.

Me, too.

I thought you were dead.

-[chuckles softly]
-I'm so happy to see you.

[sighs] I don't think
I've ever been this happy.

I know. Me, too.

[Khalida] I have
something for you.

Thank you, so much.

This was my mom's.

I know. And I know
you saved that boy.

Just like you saved me.

Can you save my brother, too?

[chuckles] He looks
pretty happy, to me.

He's changing. He's seen
too much suffering.

This is not his place.

[Edwin]
So, was it exciting?

Um... it was pretty routine.
[chuckles]

[Edwin] Ah, classified, huh?

Over my clearance? I get it.

Well, I am so glad you're back.
When am I gonna see you?

You know, um, I don't even know
what our situation is, yet.

So, I guess we could get
redeployed soon.

Uh-huh. You sound
just like your mom.

You know, um--

I thought I lost Mom's charm,

but somebody
brought it back to me.

[Edwin] Well, I'm not
surprised, in the least.

That old thing will
find you anywhere.

That's how hard
your mom loved you.

[chuckles]

As soon as I know where we're
off to, I'll call you, okay?

Okay. Hey, hey, uh...

whatever happened to
that girl you liked?

We broke up.

Her great loss, I'm afraid.

I love you, Dad.

You too, Rae.

Talk soon.

Bye.

Hi!

Hello.

Everything where it should be?

Yes. Thank you.

I hope I'm not disturbing.

No, no, not at all.

I just wanted to see
how you're feeling.

I'm okay.

I--

What is it?

This is gonna sound strange,

and definitely inappropriate.

Say what's on your mind.

I've missed you so, so much.

Like I've never
missed anyone in my life,

and it's only been, like--

[voice breaking] A day?

[quietly] Sorry.

[mumbles]

This will pass.

What you've been through
is very destabilizing.

Mm.

You may even feel
like you've lost a child.

Or a mother.

The bond we shared
will endure forever,

in some small way.

I'm okay with that.

I'm afraid you have no choice,
at this point.

[laughs] Mm.

[vibrating]

General--

Let's move on to vocal.

[hinges squeak]

[vibrating tone]

Let the sound fill you.

Let it shake your teeth
and thicken your blood.

Gather it into yourself,
and when you are full...

sing.

Your call to service should

My call to service?

When you say the oath.

I don't know the words.

You'll know what to say.

The words are in your blood.

Welcome, daughter.

[hinges squeak]

[siren blares in distance]

[clicks]

[sizzles]

[indistinct chatter]

This was the site of
a Spree attack, six years ago.

We need to figure out why
these people are gathering.

It touches my heart to see

so many of the same faces
every year.

And each year,
I meet new friends, too.

More and more people affected by
the violence of the Spree.

More and more people
who are disappointed by

our Army's ambivalence to
doing something about them.

[crowd] Yes. Yes.

And like me, more and
more of you have lost family

to senseless attacks
on unarmed citizens,

and still, our Army
does nothing!

-[crowd agreeing]
-And how can that be

in a free and just world?

Yeah! Yeah!

Well, maybe, they don't
wanna defeat the Spree.

Maybe, they can't be trusted
to fight against their own!

[cheers and applause]

Hate is a disease.
Find patient zero.

I'm in.

[laughing] So, that earthquake

was you guys?

That Tarim earth work
is strong.

Alder and I totally felt that.

Oh, yeah? You and Alder?

I-- She came to check on me,
no big deal.

-Mm-hmm.
-So, how great was it?

-Did you quake, too? [laughs]
-I always quake.

-[squeals]
-But, um...

no, it's more than sex
with this one.

More than just chargin' up,
you know?

It's deep, and...

feels like destiny,
or somethin'.

Mm. Do I need to start planning
the hand-fasting?

-[laughs]
-That boy loves you.

You should've seen him
on that plane.

-Destroyed.
-[door opens]

-[door closes]
-Oh, God.

Metals!

What did we do now?

What haven't you done?

[chains clinking]

[laughing]

Congratulations. You've changed.

You've all grown so much
and I am very proud of you.

-Craven?
-Yeah. [laughs]

No cadets deserve this more.

[Raelle chuckles]

[sighs] And the best part
of it all?

Now, you're Alder's problem.

-[gasping] I--
-What's wrong?

I was in the jun-- jungle.

Alder was there. There we--

There were these worms,
they were--

-[gulps] Stinging me.
-It was a dream.

-It was a dream. You're okay.
-[gasping]

Go to bed.

[exhales]

-Tally! Tally, it wasn't real.
-[whimpers]

It wasn't real!
