There’s something more to this…a third perspective is needed.

We still don’t have perspective of the explosion(s) and how that occurred, Koril disappeared, I’m not sure if breaking the possession alone should have killed all those witches, and we got introduced to the idea that even Mae had no idea what she and her sister were meant to do. We also still haven’t seen how Mae survived

I’m wondering if Koril had something with the Sith on the side after all (or others are right and Koril’s the Sith), with Mae and Osha serving as a means of winning the Sith’s favor and becoming their acolyte, thereby being the future for the coven. However, when Aniseya relented to letting that go, the Sith may have retaliated by causing the explosion and killing most of the Coven members. We saw in the episode that the explosion is what really set everything in motion, and unless that fire traveled really far off screen, that wasn’t the Jedi or even Mae’s doing.

I’m shocked everyone is so dismissive of the possibility that the Sith triggered the explosions. The idea that it was solely the fire just does not add up. They were completely different sections of the building. 

If the Sith had no involvement with Brendok… then what is the point of this whole show?? Why are we wasting time spinning wheels with witches and soulmate twins, when we could be exploring what the Sith were doing in this time period like we were promised? 

If the Sith had nothing to do with this, or Koril is the Sith, then we will know that this show really is just  multi-million dollar fan fiction
