![]() ![]() He stole the halo and escaped to this world, and the Tarask want it back. We don’t see what happens to her, or the others. And in the most disrespectful cliffhanger I’ve seen in a long time, the screen fades to black as Mary is overrun by the possessed. Mary, true to her name, goes in guns blazing. When Ava shows up with the halo recharged, ready to fight with the Cruciform sword, Adriel summons non-corporeal Wraith demons to possess nearby civilians. Lilith -who came back from… somewhere, with powers of her own- briefly overpowers him, but he survives a point-blank arrow to the head. The sisters have to quickly get over the fact that they’ve been played and go fisticuffs with Adriel. He manipulated the OCS to free Adriel and return the halo to him. He convinced everyone that Duretti killed Shannon to gain power, which Duretti played into by reigning in the OCS and ascending to the papacy, all the while he was responsible. Turns out, Father Vincent pulled the long con. But he has no idea what she’s talking about. When Ava and the team are infiltrating the Vatican, Mother Superion (Sylvia De Fanti) confronts now-Pope Duretti about the bones, and Shannon’s murder. Duretti’s guilt seems apparent, as he attempts to seize control over the halo, and undermine Father Vincent, including bringing his own coven into the OCS to replace Mary, Beatrice, Camila, and Lilith. Throughout the season, Mary investigates the death of the previous Warrior Nun, Sister Shannon, and when it becomes clear Shannon was targeted, the evidence points to Cardinal Duretti (Joaquim de Almeda). Warrior Nun Review (Spoiler-Free): Sisters Doing it for Themselves By Nicole Hill The portal closes when Ava manages to push Adriel away, suggesting the halo is a key. When Adriel tries to yank the halo from Ava’s body, the portal opens, and Michael travels through it alone. She builds a portal to take Michael to a world where “death doesn’t exist,” or so she believes. Unbeknownst to her, this created a connection between Michael and the armor’s original owner, which allowed Adriel to manipulate her by way of her son. Previously, scientist Jillian Salvius (Thekla Reuten) saved her son, Michael (Lope Haydn Evans), by infusing his blood with Divinium she harvested from Adriel’s armor. Ava, like Areala, sees through Adriel’s bullshit, so he drops the pretense and tries to rip the halo out of Ava’s body. Areala knows he’s neither man nor angel, but doesn’t immediately expose him for fear of having the halo, and her life, taken away. But when he touches her, she experiences an Avatar-state like reliving of Areala’s past, likely fueled by the halo, which shows Adriel appearing out of nowhere, with halo in tow, and a Tarask demon hot on his tail.Īdriel pretends to be an angel, and uses the halo to revive Areala (Guiomar Alonso), and convince the Knights Templar to fight for him against “the devils.” He forges his armor, shield, and the Cruciform sword from the melted-down remains of a Tarask -the source of Divinium. He immediately spins a tale of being tricked and stolen from, which almost convinces Ava to return the halo to him. When Ava enters the supposed tomb, she finds Adriel alive. After spending the majority of the season running away from the duties that were thrust upon her, she ultimately decides to use her power to stop the cycle of “girls being used, abused, and tossed away by powerful men.” In the penultimate episode, Ava and her allies, Sister Beatrice (Kristina Tonteri-Young), Sister Camile (Olivia Declán), Shotgun Mary (Toya Turner), Father Vincent (Tristán Ulloa), and Lilith (Lorena Andrea), infiltrate the catacombs underneath the Vatican to find the tomb of the angel Adriel (William Miller) -original owner of the halo- to destroy his bones and stop demons from coming to this world. But with great power comes great responsibility, as she’s expected to take on the mantle of Warrior Nun -and fight demons- for the Order of the Cruciform Sword (OCS). In the beginning of the season, Ava (Alba Baptista) is resurrected by a halo that heals her paraplegia and gives her superpowers. But here are some attempts at answers anyway. The explosive finale leaves things off with more questions than answers. ![]() The conclusion of Netflix’s Warrior Nun launches its viewers directly off a cliff, and we’re left hanging until (an as of yet unannounced) season 2. The following contains spoilers for Warrior Nun. ![]()
