The coven dangles loose ends to lure us to next season.
Here is our review of Bitten season 2 finale.
Well hello there, my fellowBittenfans!
This has definitely been a season chock full of new characters and revelations.
One of the biggest surprises comes in the form of Clara Sullivan (Debra McCabe).
Clara seemed to be a character of little import for most of this season.
She betrayed Ruth and the coven, got stripped of her coven status and lived as a psychic/magick practitioner.
Oh how wrong I was about that one!
I like that the writers threw that little surprise at us.
Its not often that we are given a character in such a manner.
Usually, major involvement is at least hinted at.
These last two episodes are the (obvious) culmination of this, the second season.
This being said, theyre trying to open up even more plot points.
While understandable (leaving something to lead into next season), it kind of leaves my head swimming.
The overload of information has been my main complaint this season.
Every episode, there are so many details to take in.
I do have to give it to the cast, they have done a smashing job delivering it all.
One of these characters is Nick.
Previously, he didnt have much of a role beyond being the eye candy.
From the beginning of their interactions, were shown a different, softer, side of him.
They care for each other in a way I wouldve previously thought beyond Nicks abilities.
He honestly loved her more than anything and wanted her to be a wolf with him.
Unfortunately, she didnt survive the change and he couldnt handle that.
Hes been hiding in seclusion with her on life support just so that she isnt completely gone from him.

Along with Nick and Cain, Jeremy also shows us something new.
I wouldnt say its a new side of him.
Its something that we always knew was there, but he did his best to hide it: tenderness.
For all the things Ive had problems with this season, it still managed to be a good one.
Its very different from season one, in both good ways and bad ways.
The story line was expanded far beyond just the pack and their dealings.
There were some episodes that we hardly saw anyone from the pack because they werent the main focus.
There were others where the entire pack was involved, but the story arc didnt revolve around them.
To me, a continuation of this style will be important in the season to come.
If everything was neat and tidy, we wouldnt have much to hold on to until next season.
Or perhaps if anyone is thinking of characters that I might not be.
Im unsure whether the Witches will be important next season or not.
The way it was left, it could really go either way.
Without something of the sort, Im not sure that well see much more of Paige and Savannah.
