So, Professor Foley's group of magic-users or whatever is called Praxis. That name came out of nowhere. Almost like there was some information about them, including how it came to be, that was cut. But that would be a trivial thing to nitpick. Regardless, we have a name to refer to them by, now. That's good enough.
Man, the sequence with Alyssa and Gabrielle's cover of Tove Lo's 'Habits' playing in the background was super intense. I wasn't expecting all of that. Thankfully, both Vera and Hamish are still alive. Well, I hope Vera is still alive, a second time. I feel like it would be dumb for whatever that magic beetle was for (and did) to have killed her when she didn't get killed earlier in the episode. Yes, I know that was a different method than whatever the beetle did, but still. I'm guessing its purpose was to blow Professor Foley up with a little something extra, like amplified magic or something. With that in mind, getting captured must've been on purpose. To have another opportunity to kill Vera. Again, I hope this second time with this method didn't succeed, either.
Honestly, I forget what the Vade Maecum Infernal was for and what it does. But I seem to vaguely recall that it was shown in the previous season that it does still exist, that there was a scene where Vera was holding it or something after it was supposedly destroyed. I may be wrong. But if I'm not, maybe it has something to do with how she's seemingly unkillable. Like, the fact that getting set on fire didn't kill her was surprising and seems a little up-there in terms of the capabilities of magic practitioners. Well, at least without the assistance of something. Something like the Vade Maecum Infernal. So, if I'm right, the ending of this episode probably won't kill her, either. I hope it didn't.
