She knows the only person who can stop this evil and beat the devil (Oliver Bell) – is the very witch that birthed him, his mother, Mary Sibley. Meanwhile, Isaac (Iddo Goldberg) takes it upon himself to attempt to clean up Knocker’s Hole and get revenge against Mercy (Elise Eberle), who has found her calling running the brothel. Still struggling with her new powers, Anne Hale (Tamzin Merchant) continues to imprison her husband Cotton Mather (Seth Gabel), using her familiar Brown Jenkins. With the help of Baron Sebastian Marburg (Joe Doyle) and his old ally and fallen angel, The Sentinel (Samuel Roukin), the devil is planning a massive attack and war with God that will culminate in the ultimate showdown between good and evil!” [1]

Sebastian: "History would say the Devil was born in Salem. Their god is dead, or lost in senile slumber. But not ours. Our God, their devil, is alive. Awake. And now, finally, he’s here."
The Devil: "Remember, dear ones, to the Reaper all flesh is grass. Even witch flesh. A great terror will soon fall upon Salem, and there is not a soul alive upon this dull earth who can stop me."
Petrus: "You and Mary Sibley gave the Devil the Earth. Now you and Mary Sibley have got to take it back."
Essex Elder: "Raise the dead and you'll never know what you raise."
