The second season of A Discovery Of Witches picked up the story of historian (and witch-in-training) Diana Bishop and vampire Matthew Clairmont as they fled through time to Elizabethan London to escape sinister witch Peter Knox. While Diana's aunts Sarah and Em hid out at the de Clermont family mansion, Sept-Tours, Matthew's vampire son Marcus vowed to protect his daemon friends Nathaniel and pregnant Sophie from Knox and fellow scheming members of the Congregation, while also beginning a romance with auctioneer Phoebe. By the end of the season, Diana and Matthew were finishing their adventures in 16 th century London and preparing to time-walk back to modern day Sept-Tours. Unfortunately, if and when they get there they will be met with tragedy – Peter Knox, fascinated by Sophie's newborn baby, who is a witch, has beat them to it.
