In the tenth and final episode of Penny Dreadful season 2, titled "And They Were Enemies", the central characters confront their demons both literal and metaphorical. The show is set in Victorian London and follows several individuals whose fates are intertwined by their encounters with the supernatural.
Ethan Chandler (played by Josh Hartnett), an American sharpshooter turned werewolf, is still reeling from his recent transformation and the brutal murders he committed while under its influence. He seeks out Vanessa Ives (Eva Green), a powerful medium with her own share of demons, to try and gain control over his animal urges.
Meanwhile, Sir Malcolm Murray (Timothy Dalton) and Dr. Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) are on the hunt for Vanessa's childhood friend and fellow medium, Joan Clayton. They believe she may hold the key to unlocking the secrets of Vanessa's past and present.
Elsewhere, Dorian Gray (Reeve Carney) and Lily (Billie Piper) continue their unconventional romance, while Victor struggles with his growing feelings for his own creation.
As the various storylines converge, alliances are formed and broken, and power struggles ensue. The season-long arc concerning the mysterious antagonist known as "the Master" comes to a head in a climactic battle that will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.
Overall, "And They Were Enemies" is a satisfying conclusion to a season that expertly blends horror, romance, and drama with a keen eye for period detail. With its outstanding ensemble cast and atmospheric visuals, Penny Dreadful is a true modern classic of the horror genre.
