Episode 8 Scene by Scene

  1. 00:00: The Poisoned Blade

    Celeste Rourke cuts Seraphina Vale across the cheek with a vervain-covered blade. The poison causes burning agony and leaves a permanent scar on her face. Nearby onlookers whisper among themselves that making an enemy of House Lockwood is a fatal error.

  2. 00:29: Surrendering the Gown

    Seraphina fears another cut that could permanently disfigure her face. She puts aside her pride, apologizes to Celeste, and gives up the wedding dress. Celeste refuses to stop the punishment, stating that she needs to vent all her rage before she can sleep.

  3. 00:47: Damian Mocks the Engagement

    Seraphina begs Damian Lockwood to step in and warns him that he will suffer consequences for permitting this abuse. Damian mocks her warning. He claims her mother forced the arranged marriage onto his father and tells Seraphina she has no real standing.

  4. 01:07: Celeste Escalates the Threat

    Celeste prepares to humiliate Seraphina even further on the cobblestone street. She declares that she will strip Seraphina naked in front of everyone to wash away her scent. Seraphina cries out and begs for mercy, but Celeste ignores her pleas.

  5. 01:18: An Interrupted Call

    A ringtone sounds from Seraphina's shopping bag resting on the ground. Celeste reaches down and snatches the phone before Seraphina can move. She answers the call with a smirk as Isolde speaks through the line, warmly asking how the dress fitting went.
