Cession in Session
Shown 19 Jul 22
The witches are given a hearing by the Council of the Cession.
Since the Cession believes that the Camarilla will uphold the treaty,
the witches are blamed for destroying the chemical plant.
Luckily, the Camarilla are impatient and do not wait for the witches to be extradited.
They send a platoon of expendable goons in to kill or capture the witches.
One of the witches has precognitive visions.
Now she tries to test if she can alter something she had a vision about.
Unfortunately it seems the future can be delayed but not altered completely.
Two of the Army witches are in Camarilla custody.
Of course, they got captured on purpose.

But I Don't Even Have a Dress...
Shown 16 Aug 22
The witches have handed themselves over to the US Government forces.
The good news is that this has ended the invasion of the Cession.
The bad news is that the witches are put on show-trial.
However, this nationally TV broadcast event is a double-edged sword.
The real POTUS has been injured in a car crash.
The problem is that the Marshal (Michael Horse -
Twin Peaks
) was driving.
Since he was empathically linked to his army,
whenever one of them was killed he was distracted by the pain.
Yes, this is a major flaw in the empathic link policy.
The Camarilla is quickly defeated,
and the ringleaders thrown in prison.
Yes, the entire Season arc is tied up in a quick montage … with a whole episode to spare.
Yes, this seems far too easy.

Shown 23 Aug 22
Since the USA's Witch Army was deployed to the Cession,
Fort Salem was practically unguarded.

and was able to stage a counter-attack.
Now the tweenage witches must break into their own base and defeat the villains.
Lyne Renee
is in Ghana, Africa, following the trail of a witch bloodline that ended up in a slave fort.
Yes, the final witch guardian is an African-American.
So what of the Camarilla?
They had the support of the American people,
so we can assume that they represent a sizeable proportion of American society.
Let us say thirty percent,
which is plausible when one considers the level of hard-core Trump support.
Especially since the Native Americans are excluded,
having their own State in The form of The Cession.
So what are the Witches, a super-powered elite,
to do with the regular humans who represent the American working class?
