Willow is a 2022 sequel series to the 1988 Ron Howard dark fantasy film of the same name, which is something people might need reminding of since… well, it’s been a while. An unlikely choice for a revival, the series airs on Disney+ and is presumably an attempt at giving the streamer its very own rival to stuff like House of the Dragon on HBO and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Prime Video.
Here’s what happened in Willow episode 3:
- Elora was able to temporarily escape from Ballantine and his forces. She met two women in the woods who swore allegiance to her, but they were subsequently killed by Ballantine.
- The main fellowship split up after disagreeing on the best way to proceed. Kit and Boorman went to the titular Slaughtered Lamb, where they ran into some wererats.
- Everyone else was able to catch up with Elora. Eventually, so were Kit and Boorman. In the battle, Silas was fatally wounded. Angered, Willow finally used his magic to win the fight.
- Freed from his corruption, Ballantine told Jade he was proud of her and pushed her to kill him, which she eventually did.
- In the skirmish, Graydon was wounded and corrupted in the same way Ballantine was.

Predictions
We don’t have an official title or synopsis for the next episode, but we can make some logical assumptions:
- I’m still expecting to see Madmartigan eventually.
- Since we didn’t see Airk or get a sense of the Crone’s forces this week, we might next week.
- I imagine Graydon will be healed from his corruption.
- Elora’s facility with magic will improve.
