Harlan is exceedingly smug but also clearly switched on, so he’s one to watch. Since Queen Kane purposefully sabotaged Kanzua, the hydroelectric dam she and her Witchfinders called home last season, Maghra is worried that the act might be exposed, especially given the queen’s arrogance and petty jealousy over Harlan’s current station. Lord Harlan, an obvious Littlefinger type, has been ruling in Queen Kane’s absence and clearly - along with his brother, Kerrigan - has designs on long-term leadership.
When we catch back up with Queen Kane and Maghra as they arrive at Pennsa, we realize pretty quickly that there’s a fairly tenuous political situation here. The introduction of the Trivantians is only part of the show’s expanded worldbuilding. If he isn’t back by then, they’re on their own.
#EMPIRE SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 RECAP FULL#
That’s where Baba is heading next, in full homemade samurai-style armour, leaving Kofun with Paris and the pair of them instructions to wait for him only seven days. Baba, Kofun, and Paris are still out in the wild, but after being sold by Jerlamarel, Haniwa is currently a guest of Edo Voss (Dave Bautista), Baba’s brother, in the militarized nation of Trivantes. Voss isn’t the kind of dad you’d want - he’s a bit too into the joy of killing someone than seems reasonable - but he’s the kind you’d need in this world, especially under the circumstances following last season’s finale.
He might later lament having to teach Kofun to fight and survive in this way, but he’s determined to do it properly all the same. “Brothers and Sisters” begins with a bloodthirsty action sequence, one perhaps a bit more intentionally nasty than those of the first season, though admittedly they weren’t exactly fun for all the family either.
