Lovecraft Country Episode 10 "Full Circle" Summary



With the Book of Names in their possession Atticus and Leti begin the incantation to remove the curse from Dee’s body, but are pulled through to another place where they are connected to Hanna and Atticus’ mum, Dora, who impart their wisdom of magic and their family on them. Removing the curse from Dee, Leti, Atticus, Hippolyta and Montrose, set about to disrupt Chistina’s plans for Atticus. After obtaining the flesh of Titus Braithwaite using the Book of Names, they also enlist Ji-Ah and ask Ruby to obtain the final part of their counter-spell, a piece of Christina’s body.



As the autumnal equinox approaches the gang return to Ardham County, joined by Ruby, Ji-Ah and Dee, to begin their offensive. But their plans are thrown into chaos as Christina has taken the form of Ruby, who lies in a coma back in Chicago. Throwing Leti from the village tower and capturing Atticus with the help of the Ardham locals, Christina, as the moon rises high in the sky, performs her spell on Atticus to become immortal. But as all seems lost, Leti and Ji-Ah come together to connect Atticus with Christina and begin their counter-incantation. In an explosive force of magic Christina is beaten but at a terrible cost. The willing sacrifice by Atticus to die ensures that his unborn son, his family and friends are protected, but also the power of magic is removed from the Braithwhites and white people to the Freemans and black people. In the emotional aftermath of Tic’s death, as they get ready to leave Ardham County behind, Dee approaches the injured Christina and crushes her neck with her new bionic arm!

Lovecraft Country Episode 7 "I Am." Summary



After going to Ardham County, Hippolyta’s journey of discovery continues through time and space after unlocking the secrets of Hiram’s Orary. Elsewhere, Atticus and his father’s relationship hits a new low as he encounters Montrose and Sammy at his dad’s flat while looking for information about his mother’s side of the family. As Tic attempts to track down the Book of Names in St Louis he is warned by Leti that Hippolyta has the Orary and could be in danger. At a space observatory in Kansas, Hippolyta activates the device, just as members of Captain Lancaster’s police have her at gunpoint. Atticus arrives to help his Aunt but during the fight with the cops a rip in space and time opens up and both Tic and Hippolyta are flung through the tear. From the Kansas observatory to a high tech “cell” with the being “I am” Hippolyta is then teleported to Paris to dance with Josephine Baker, from there Hippolyta travels onwards to ancestral Africa (with Confederate soldiers) and further into the sci-fi world of her daughter’s comics with George. Her odyssey through multiple worlds is transformative and empowering as she learns about her thoughts, her feelings, her desires and ultimately who she is and what freedom means. Back in Kansas Atticus is flung out of the tear and back into the observatory carrying a book written by Geroge Freeman, but where has he come from and what has he seen!!?
