Ravenswood’s second episode “Death and a Maiden” provided riveting surprises to audiences with a big event. What follows is a recap so beware of spoilers.
The episode picks up where Ravenswood’s series premiere ended, with the five teens going over the bridge into the water in their car and the teens rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. Miranda (Nicole Gale Anderson) is in serious condition as Remy (Britne Oldford) is visibly shaken up and proclaims that the accident was not her fault. As viewers remember Miranda grabbed the wheel as she saw something in the road. Miranda crashes and dies as Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) looks on. Looks like the ghost theories were right if Ravenswood viewers can expect to see her around still.
Olivia (Merritt Patterson) and Luke (Brett Dier) stick together as they try to grapple with the death of a girl they barely knew while Caleb flips out when an orderly tries to take Remy’s blood. Luke tries to calm Caleb done with no success and tensions are high when Remy’s parents show up and blame Luke.
Luke and Olivia’s mother Rochelle (Laura Allen) shows up and is visibly hostile to the police office and to Remy’s father (Henry Simmons). This makes sense as most of the town does consider a black widow. Apparently their father was the mayor of Ravenswood. Caleb visits Miranda down in the morgue, where Miranda was mistakenly labeled a Jane Doe. Caleb takes advantage of the coroner’s kindness and pilfers through Miranda’s things when he hears a banging against the metal cabinet and the radio suddenly turns on. Raymond Collins (Steven Cabral), Miranda’s uncle turns up and takes Miranda’s body. Apparently her foster family did not care that Miranda took off to Ravenswood.
Mrs. Grunwald (Meg Foster) convinces Collins to extend an offer of hospitality to Caleb as he is otherwise homeless in Ravenswood. As Remy’s father interrogates her about the accident, her mother Terry (Sophina Brown) intervenes seeing that she’s upset. Luke’s mother warns them not to talk to the police or Remy and congratulates a stunned Olivia that she won Homecoming Queen.
Caleb has a talk with a dead Miranda who seems very much alive telling Caleb to retrieve items from her bag and showing him the figure she saw before she died. Mrs. Grunwald asks if Caleb has talked to Hanna (Ashley Benson) and relays the information that Allison (Sasha Pieterse) is not coming back. Mrs. Grunwald helps keep order for Collins and maintains her belief in the immortality of the soul. Could this be a reference to Haleb’s relationship?
Remy looks back into Ravenswood’s history and finds that five people die regularly there. She is interrupted by Luke throwing rocks outside her window, a typical romance trope, as they meet in the darkness. The two reconnect and decide not to focus on the previous night’s events.
Objects begin to move as Caleb recites poetry while Collins tries to cut into Miranda. The mirror in front of Caleb breaks and he is stunned into wondering what’s going on in Ravenswood.
As seen in a preview clip, Luke shows their father’s letter to Olivia, that he believes points to their mother’s guilt. He accuses their mother of cheating and Olivia incensed tears the letter up. Do you think she’ll regret this?
