The Season 2 finale of AMC’s Mayfair Witches pushed Rowan (Alexandra Daddario) to her limits — and beyond. Once reluctant to embrace her family’s supernatural legacy, she now fully wields her power after an episode filled with shocking choices, deadly confrontations, and a ritual that changed her forever.
Major Spoilers Ahead: The following section reveals key plot points from the Mayfair Witches Season 2 finale. Read at your own risk!
A Desperate Rescue Mission Turns to Carnage
Rowan’s attempt to save Lasher (Jack Huston) from her power-hungry family quickly spirals into chaos. What begins as a ritual meant to channel ancient magic turns into a bloodbath when she realizes the extent of their horrifying plan. Betrayed and grieving, Rowan unleashes her most destructive power yet, but even that isn’t enough to stop the inevitable. In the end, she drinks Lasher’s blood, crossing a dangerous threshold and embracing a level of power that no one should have.
Rowan’s Power Grab: What Comes Next?
Speaking to Variety, Alexandra Daddario reflected on Rowan’s evolution and her struggle with unchecked power: "She walks around saying she doesn’t want any of this… But when you are actually tempted with real power, I think it is hard to reject — and it is hard for Rowan to reject." Daddario also admitted she hopes the show explores Rowan’s descent even further, saying: "I would like to see Rowan really lose it more."
Throughout the season, Rowan insisted she was only using her abilities for the greater good. But Daddario questions whether her character truly believes that: "Is she really doing it to protect people, or is she just justifying her own need for power? I think she’s just doing whatever she wants."
Season 3? AMC’s Immortal Universe Continues
While Mayfair Witches has yet to be renewed for a third season, AMC continues expanding Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe with The Talamasca premiering later this year. As Rowan’s newfound power threatens to consume her, fans are left wondering: how far will she go?
And if the finale was any indication — no one is safe.
