[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Mayfair Witches Season 2 Episode 4, “Double Helix.”] The past — both recent and realllly far back — came back to haunt Rowan ( Alexandra Daddario ) on this week’s episode of Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches , and TV Insider was on set to see some of it come to life. In the hour, entitled “Double Helix,” we got flashbacks that filled in the blanks about why Rowan’s med-school romance with geneticist Lark ( Ben Feldman ) in San Francisco came to an end.
Turns out, he was the one who sank it by taking a job in New York, without even telling her he was even applying for it months earlier! Obviously trusting this guy is risky, as proven by his secretive swiping of her teacup to test against the DNA sample she’d already given him. Needless to say, the results (exact matches!) left him shooketh. Still, it was fun to see our Rowan almost having a normal relationship, drinking a beer on Lark’s boat and being way more chill than we’ve seen her before.
And their current-time reconnection is adding a new layer to the character’s evolution, as she slowly begins to clue him into the Mayfair madness. More Headlines:.
