Lovecraft Country: Atticus just got the upper hand over Christina

Another exciting Lovecraft Country episode, another ending to explain! 

Warning! Spoilers follow for Lovecraft Country episode 4.

Lovecraft Country continues to up the excitement, and episode 4 was no different. Last week, Letitia dealt with some old ghosts in the mysterious old house that she bought. Come to find out, the house had several links to the Sons of Adam and the Braithwhites.

You can check out our entire recap of episode 3’s ending if you need if. And you just might — because it’s all beginning to connect as we move on to episode 4, “A History of Violence.”

In this episode, Atticus, Letitia and Montrose decided to go looking for the cipher pages that Christina told Atticus about in episode 3. But of course, things couldn’t be easy. Along with that, Hippolyta found out more about the mysterious solar system model, and Ruby and William were certainly… up to something.  Read on below for the spoiler-filled explanation for episode 4’s ending.

Lovecraft Country episode 4 ending explained (spoilers)

Most of the show revolved around Atticus, Letitia and Montrose going through Titus’ Braithwhite’s vault to find his cipher pages. Those pages, as explained by Christina in episode 3, were meant to be used to translate the Book of Names and reveal the powerful spells within them.

After their treacherous journey through the vault, the three came upon the room where the cipher pages were being held. Oddly enough, their trip to the Boston museum where the vault was located magically led them back to Chicago — right below the Winthrop house! We don’t know for why the room led to the Winthrop house, but Hiram Epstein (the evil spirit exercised out of the house) died there trying to get his hands on the pages.

So, in the room where the pages were being kept, we found out that along one of him many voyages, Titus Braithwhite had captured a Native woman to use her to translate the book. When she refused to do so, he killed her entire family, and put a spell on her,  binding her to the room for hundreds of years in a zombified state and even turning her into a siren so she couldn’t speak.

Atticus had high hopes to use the woman to help him translate the pages, even though she initially refused. Because once the pages were translated, Atticus would have the upper hand to be able to cast spells and protect his friends and family from the Order and Christina. Unfortunately, after rescuing the woman, Montrose killed her shortly after. But why would he do that?

It appears that Montrose had no interest in Atticus going any further in translating the pages. He’s been trying to stop Atticus from his journey this whole time, but his son would not back down. Despite not having a translator, Atticus still has the advantage because (unlike Christina or any Order members) he has Titus’ cipher pages. At this point, it looks like he’ll just have to do the work himself.

Meanwhile, Hippolyta’s had the golden solar system model in her possession from the home, and we learned from Christina that it’s the key to a time machine. After finding George’s map to Ardham, Massachusetts, in the car, Hippolyta and her daughter, Dee, look like they’ll be heading that way to uncover the true secrets behind George’s death. And they may even learn more about the solar system in her possession.

And finally, William approached Ruby making her an offer she couldn’t refuse. We don’t quite know what William is up to yet, but we’re sure he’s really up to no good. If only Ruby could see past the seduction.
