In Episode 23 of "The Ancient Magus' Bride" Season 2, the story unfolds with a series of dramatic events and confrontations. The episode begins with Zoe falling unconscious and Fabio preparing for the next phase of his plan as a disguised warrior appears.
Meanwhile, Chise, Alcyone, and others are seen comforting Philomela, while Lizbeth, furious at Chise for thwarting her plan, realizes that Chise is under the influence of a magic book. Chise explains her intention to protect Philomela, prompting Lizbeth to swear she will reclaim Adam at any cost, even if it means harming Chise and the group.
A werewolf intervenes, fighting Lizbeth and declaring her independence from Lizbeth's control. Although Lizbeth insists that the werewolf's children are no longer in this world, the werewolf remains skeptical. In this situation, Alcyone steps in, and a flashback reveals her conversation with Adam, in which he tells her she will be Philomela's shield.
Alcyone, sensing her impending death, apologizes to Philomela for her failure and passes on her memories to her. She symbolizes her farewell by placing a dead bird in Philomela's hand. Philomela recognizes a man on the battlefield as her father Adam, though he claims he is not.
This Adam doppelgänger confronts Lizbeth with the murder of Alcyone. Despite Lizbeth's attacks, the doppelgänger—a program with Adam's memories and form—remains unharmed. He reveals that Lizbeth is cursed by a spell Adam placed in Alcyone's body, activated by her destruction and the threat to Philomela. The doppelgänger declares his mission to destroy Lizbeth. However, before he can act, Lucy demands that Lizbeth explain her past actions. Though he understands Lucy's plea, the doppelgänger remains committed to his mission. Just as he and the female werewolf are about to kill Lizbeth, she is saved by the magical book beast.
Morrigan appears and explains her presence as a response to the threat posed by the magical book beast, a god encroaching on her territory. Elias recognizes the beast as a god but not a true deity like Morrigan. Morrigan asks Adam's doppelgänger for help, who transforms into a spear, and together with Ruth, they battle the deity.
Amid the chaos, the werewolf gives Lucy crucial information about Lizbeth's role in the Webster family tragedy. Chise theorizes that only a human can stop the false deity, and Philomela suggests retrieving the magic book from her possession, even if it means sacrificing herself. However, Lucy proposes a plan to reclaim the book without losing Philomela.
The group successfully executes their plan, and Chise, Isaac, and Lucy empower Philomela to control the book. The episode ends with Philomela preparing to wield the book against the false deity, leaving the viewer eager for the next developments in the story.
