Mayfair Witches is one of the AMC shows for which Netflix has acquired streaming rights for a year. The show blends the supernatural with ominous entities, witches, premonitions, drama, and tragedy. The series follows the life of Rowan (played by Alexandria Daddario) - a neuroscientist turned witch.
Rowan lived a suboptimal life immersed in research and studying the human brain before realizing something peculiar about herself—she's a powerful witch. However, her blessing turned out to be her biggest curse. She must navigate her newfound powers to tackle the malicious presence that is after her blood.
The story introduces a diverse cast of vibrant characters, each with their own unique witchcraft abilities. One member of the Mayfair family of witches is Tessa (played by Madison Wolfe), known as the enchantress of men. Tessa's ability is known as 'Glamor'—she can briefly entice a man to carry out her will by either a glance or merely uttering it.
However, in season 1 episode 7, titled "Tessa," Wolfe's character meets her rather unforeseen fate—Tessa dies. Keep reading to learn about her fate in Mayfair Witches.
What happened to Tessa in Mayfair Witches?
In episode 7 of Mayfair Witches, Tessa is seen held captive by the man who desperately wants her heart and loathes her—Keith (played by Ian Hoch). After Rowan discovers she's expecting a child and is uncertain about the father's identity, she turns to Tessa for help, only to find that Tessa is not there.
Tessa has been captured and is being tortured by the man she dreads the most. Her limbs were bound tightly to prevent her from escaping as she is a witch. Moreover, her eyes were blinded and she was gagged with a rag down her throat.
In the episode, Tessa is set to be executed for being a Mayfair witch. Despite her pleas and cries for help, her captors pay no heed and proceed with the ancient punishment - death by fire on a pyre. Just as the pyre she was tied to was lit, Rowan made a heroic entrance.
With hands oozing electric power fueled by vengeance, she frees her sister while engaging in a mind-bending battle with Keith and other enemies. Just as Rowan and Tessa thought they were safe, the unthinkable happened, resulting in Tessa's death.
What led to Tessa's death in Mayfair Witches?
Episode 7 of Mayfair Witches saw the demise of yet another bold character—Tessa. In the episode, she and Rowan seemed poised for victory against the dark forces planning to execute Tessa, a Mayfair witch.
