Holly was imprisoned in Bronwyn’s basement, where she could sense the presence of blood magic.
Elias healed Chess’s most grievous wounds but Chess was still weak. Matthew thought he had a lead on Bronwyn’s whereabouts but it turned out to be a false trail. Allegra worked out Bronwyn’s plan, and Elias put a name to it, but they still didn’t know where she was hiding.
In 1849: Leticia’s body was discovered. Her throat had been torn open. James disappeared while searching for her. Because he was gone, Ransome was able to blame the murder on James.
