Ep 2. The Devil Inside

As the second season of the historical drama Knightfall continues, episode 2, titled "The Devil Inside," follows the journey of the Knights Templar as they struggle to keep their power and influence despite challenges from external forces and internal disputes.

One of the central conflicts of the episode revolves around the personal struggle of Landry du Lauzon, played by Tom Cullen, who is haunted by the memory of his recent past and the sins he has committed. His dark past is brought to the forefront by the arrival of his former lover and partner, Talus, played by Mark Hamill, who was thought to have died years ago. Landry is forced to confront the guilt and shame he feels as the two are reunited and must work together to solve a new mystery.

The plot also involves confrontations between King Philip IV of France and the Knights Templar, as tensions rise between the two factions. The king's advisors believe that the Knights hold too much power and influence and conspire to undermine them at every turn. Meanwhile, the Knights must navigate their own internal conflicts, with rivalries brewing between different commanders jockeying for control and alliances.

One subplot of the episode revolves around the role of women in medieval society and the role of the female warrior Adelina, played by Sarah-Sofie Boussnina. Adelina is an independent and skilled fighter who challenges gender norms and expectations. Her presence and abilities create tension among the male knights, but also provide a new perspective on the historical era.

As the episode progresses, the Knights' true enemy begins to reveal themselves, and it becomes clear that they are facing a more serious threat than they previously anticipated. The Knights are forced to confront their deepest fears and reconcile their inner demons to overcome the darkness that threatens to consume them.

"The Devil Inside" is filled with tension, conflict, and moral quandaries that keep the audience engaged and on the edge of their seats. The show's attention to historical detail and the strong performances by the cast make it a must-watch for fans of historical dramas or anyone looking for a thrilling adventure.
