In Season 2, Episode 22, the focus is on Lizbeth Sargant's plan to resurrect her son Adam by sacrificing Philomela. At the beginning of the episode, Lizbeth's motivations for choosing Philomela as the sacrifice are explored, highlighting her belief that Philomela, as Adam's child, is irrefutable proof of Adam's existence. Lizbeth's complex feelings toward Philomela are examined, revealing a mix of resentment and the desire to erase the memory of Adam's betrayal.
The episode delves into Lizbeth's past, particularly her struggles as the heir of the Sargant family without heirs of her own. In this context, it becomes clear that Adam's birth initially served to affirm Lizbeth's worth within her family. However, her relationship with Adam is complicated, vacillating between disgust and adoration, ultimately culminating in an obsession centered on the idea that Adam is an extension of herself.
As the narrative progresses, Philomela becomes aware of the grim reality of her role as a sacrifice and decides to resist. Chise, known for her willingness to help, intervenes to save Philomela. The rescue involves a complex magical operation in which Chise transforms Isaac's magical key into a hammer, infuses it with Ruth's fire, and successfully breaks through the magical barrier protecting Philomela. This act saves Philomela but simultaneously raises the question of the fate of Carnamagos, a deity invoked in Lizbeth's spell, and whether its liberation poses a new threat.
The episode ends with some uncertainty about the potential dangers posed by both Lizbeth and the possibly freed Carnamagos, leaving a tense anticipation for the next episode.
