Watch an all-new episode of HBO’s Lovecraft Country tonight
Look out, world. Atticus learned a new trick. Once Atticus learned about his family lineage, it was only a matter of time before he learned to utilize magic. Last week on Lovecraft Country, Tic finally tapped into his roots and cast a spell that saved his life.
The episode was centered around the death of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black boy who was brutally murdered and lynched. In the show, Diana was friends with Emmett. Diana attended Till’s memorial along with Tic, Leti, Montrose, and Ruby. Later on, Diana is confronted by Lancaster, who is on the prowl for her father’s orrery. After she refuses, Lancaster casts a spell and sends two evil spirits, Topsey and Bobsey, to haunt Diana.

Meanwhile, Tic finally gives Christina the key to the orrery in exchange for a lesson in casting spells. Montrose and Tic cast a spell to protect themselves from death, but nothing happens initially. Complicating matters, Ji-ah came to Chicago, much to Leti’s dismay, to warn Tic about how she saw Tic die in a vision. Speaking of Leti, Tic revealed that while at the observatory, he saw that Leti will have Tic’s child and he will grow up to write the book, Lovecraft Country.
Towards the end of the episode, Topsey and Bobsey attack and possess Diana, forcing her to collapse. Then, Lancaster heads to Leti’s house to find the orrery himself and in the process, shoots up the house. When a cop tries to shoot Tic, a shoggoth appears and kills the cop as well as destroy Lancaster’s arm. It turns out that Tic’s spell worked after all.
