- Rowan, after being contacted by Ciprien Grieve, used his phone to track down the house she had been seeing in her visions. She traveled to New Orleans to investigate it.

Predictions
Here’s the official synopsis for the next episode:
In the aftermath of Deirdre’s grisly death, Rowan searches for safety in a strange city; Sip provides Rowan with a safe house while he investigates Deirdre’s murder; Lasher makes contact with Rowan but not in the way one might expect.
- Rowan will inevitably have to balance her own safety with finding out what happened to her mother. This will obviously result in her getting closer to Grieve and learning more about herself.
- Since we started the second episode with that flashback, I would imagine that the history of the Mayfair witches is going to be threaded in a similar fashion throughout each episode.
- With Deirdre out of the way people such as Cortland will probably show their true colours in regard to Rowan.
