Episode 3 (Season 3)

Episode 3 is the third episode of the third season of A Discovery of Witches. It is also the twenty-first episode overall in the series.

Synopsis
In New Orleans, Matthew and Marcus attempt to reconnect with Marcus' unforgiving children. Jack struggles to contain his blood rage.

Plot
Matthew, Marcus and Jack arrive in New Orleans hoping to recruit Marcus' sires into their scion. Geraldine, however, rebukes them, citing that there will be no scion given Matthew's previous behaviour and culling of Marcus' sires.

Matthew and Marcus arrive home to find that Jack has fled the house in a rage. Matthew goes to find him and eventully comes across him in a cemetery. He is able to calm Jack down, and Jack seems rather angry at himself and wants the whole ordeal put behind them — this is becoming increasingly difficult, however, given Marcus' sires won't cooperate.

Marcus heads to Ransome's club to make amends with him, and highlights their plan to form a scion and fight against the Congregation. Ransome cites that this is a silly plan, however, and will more than likely see them all dead. Marcus tries to sweeten the deal with the idea of a cure for Blood Rage, but Ransome remarks that it is centuries too late.

Meanwhile in London, Diana and Phoebe work on tracking down books that could aid them in their search for the missing pages. Diana comes accross the Book of Soyga, which has previously been missing but has now found a home at the British Library.

Diana heads to the library accompanied by Gallowglass, but enters the manuscript room alone. Here, she projects a field around her to protect her actions and project the view that she is simply reading the book. Inside, she uses her magic to track down the hands in which the book has passed — this leads her to discovering the letter "H", to which she believes is in reference to Father Hubbard.

Just as Diana begins to unravel the mystery from the Book of Soyga, Peter Knox too realises that Hubbard is the one holding the vampire page from the book. He confronts Hubbard, citing that he would be wise to hand over the page, but Hubbard refuses. Just as Knox attempts to use magic on him, Hubbard pins him to the wall and promises that he will not leave the building alive should he continue.

Not long after, Diana visits Hubbard asking for the page in his possession. Diana too seeks the page but Hubbard refuses once more to hand over the page. Diana implores him, citing that she will ensure the page isn't used by Knox to tip the scale to the witches, or Gerbert, who wishes to seek the secret to immortality. With this, Hubbard hands over the page for Diana's safekeeping.

Marcus arrives at Ransome's club to talk with him privately, but is refused an audience with him. Marcus remarks that he is asking as his sire, not as a friend, and he is taken to talk with him. The two talk, and Ransome tells Marcus that Matthew's apology is centuries too late.

Meanwhile, Jack hangs out in cemetery and begins hearing noises. He goes to investigate and eventually comes face-to-face with Ransome, who finally figures out that he is the Blood Rage killer. He questions what is so special about Jack, before leaving shortly after.

At home, Jack tells Matthew and Marcus about his encounter, and moments later, Marcus receives a message from Ransome agreeing to meet. Whilst Marcus and Jack are eager to tag along, Matthew remarks that he must go alone.

Back in London, Phoebe, Diana, and Sarah are continuing their research into the Book of Life. They eventually trace the origins of the book and the hands that it has passed through. Eventually, they come across a demon named TJ Weston, who bought a page from the book — they quickly realise that one of the pages was gifted to a witch, vampire, and demon.

Matthew arrives at Ransome's club to find that he is greeted by the remainder of Marcus' sires and numerous other vampires. There is no love lost between the two, however, and tensions are high. Matthew explains that the Congregation must be stopped, but Ransome is reluctant to pledge his allegiance to this cause given the danger. In order to win back Ransome's trust, Matthew begins to recite the names of everyone he has killed in relation to Blood Rage. He specifically places focus on Jacqueline Lascelle, Ransome's mate, who he killed on her way home from Ransome's club. This is enough to get Ransome to end his feud with Matthew and join the scion.

At the Congregation in Venice, Benjamin visits Satu, but finds that she is hostile towards him, citing that vampires are not welcome here. Benjamin proposes that she join him and help with his feud against Matthew and Diana, but Satu is reluctant and refuses him; she cites that she will get her revenge just not yet.
