By Mads Lennon
On a new Legacies, Hope turns to Lizzie for help in making things right with Landon while Josie looks into a secret Alaric has been keeping.
In the penultimate episode of the season, Legacies dropped several new shocking discoveries into our laps, including the real story behind TRIAD, Malivore, and Agent Clark.
Apart from audience revelations, in-world, Lizzie and Jo finally learn the entirety of the Gemini coven secret curse from their father. To put it mildly, no one is having a great week.
Let’s unpack the five most shocking discoveries from Season 1, Episode 15.
5. The origin of Malivore.
Years ago, supernatural creatures and human alike were hunted by dragons (insert clever Game of Thrones reference here). To stop these foul beasts from destroying their homes, an unholy alliance was formed to put an end to their reign of terror. A witch, a vampire, and a werewolf joined walk into a bar united to create a new kind of being, a gollum, also known as the “eater of the dark”, in case it wasn’t dramatic enough already.
This creature roamed the earth devouring other monsters, absorbing them, evolving with every new strand of DNA it consumed. Every time it digested one (this dude must have had terrible acid reflux) the monster was erased from the history books – with the exception of witches, vampires, and werewolves, who were exempt from being hurt by the gollum since they created it (nice job of making this new lore make sense in the greater franchise mythos writers!)
