Coven of Darkness, the second season finale, originally aired on June 12, 1989. I know I've been saying this a lot, but it's been true, this is yet another truth is relative episode. The way one fights evil can also be used to fight good, it's just all how you use whatever power. It's really stupid and is so incredibly false I cannot begin to explain how false that truly is. Micki discovers she has magic powers and uses them for good, but she uses all of her powers up by the end of the episode. Ryan gets bewitched in this episode. The cursed antique is a witches ladder. This can greatly increase the witches' magical powers. There is also a sculpting tool that sculpts peoples image out of clay in order to bewitch them. Both items are returned to the vault by the end of the episode. There's a somewhat cliffhanger at the end. Micki, who knows her powers are gone, opens up the spellbook to a musical sting and freezeframe. If they don't address this in the season 3 premiere, then this ending is incredibly forced.
Season 2 overall was a fairly good season. Season 1, at least to me, didn't have any objectionable episodes. Season 2 has plenty. There's plenty of episodes praising voodoo, magic, Shamanism, etc... None of this I find good. I don't think it's right to present something as how you use it determines whether you use it for good or for evil. I don't think we're that powerful, for one. Having said that, the stakes are a LOT higher in season 2 which is a major plus. It's a much welcomed change from the formulaic season 1.
After a full year of the TV series, the producers felt it was time to resurrect their main villain, Jason, one last time. How would audiences react after having more than a full season of TV to distract them from the movie series? Well, we'll have to address that next time.
