Despite promising Vi (Hailee Steinfeld) that the quest to take down Jinx (Ella Purnell) wouldn’t change her, events in the undercity lead Caitlyn (Katie Leung) to putting the life of a child at risk to get her revenge. Unwilling to let her go that far, Jinx escapes, the bombs she placed around the city go off leading the to the toxic gas Piltover has been pumping underground for years to reach the surface, and playing right into the hands of the now quite desperate Ambessa (Ellen Thomas) as the episode teases more of the Black Rose and suggests that Ambessa is after something in the undercity that might offer her a chance to fight back.

The Second Season of Arcane: League of Legends picks up immediately after Jinx‘s (Ella Purnell) attack which managed to somehow only kill the minor supporting characters leaving Jayce (Kevin Alejandro), Caitlyn (Katie Leung), and Mel (Toks Olagundoye) largely unscathed and the other counselors only wounded – although Caitlyn does suffer the loss of her mother. Not knowing about his friend’s secret experiments, Jayce blames the attack for Viktor‘s (Harry Lloyd) unusual condition.
