In its second season Motherland: Fort Salem seems overwhelmed by what it can say, do and show, to the point it barely succeeds in what it does do right.

As the change of the guard completes, a new threat to the Bellweather Unit upends whatever trajectory you thought they’d be on.

In the penultimate episode of the season, everything Adler could fear comes to pass, and we learn the source of the Mycelia.

As the Bellweather Unit is tasked with capturing Nicte, so comes the question if these 3, who barely started War College, could take the founder of the Spree?

As many fight to rescue Raelle, Adler deals with being attacked and more vulnerable in Fort Salem than she has ever been on the battlefield.

So much happens in “My 3 Dads” from a Spree attack, Camarilla attack, and new information that adds layers to witch culture that it might just be one of the best episodes of the season.

It’s Halloween in the world of Motherland: Fort Salem, and while some get the treat of seeing the dead, others are tricked and end up in the grave.

As the Camarilla execute their first public attack, Tally finds herself tired of the politics and lies, just as much as Anacostia.

As the cadets are reminded of their limited reproductive rights, Raelle proves herself worth more than her uterus, Tally learns more about Nicte, and Abigail? She is fighting for autonomy.

As Abigail and Raelle deal with additional tests, war college begins, and Tally, while a standout, also is starting to notice things she shouldn’t.
