Holiday TV: Evil Druids on 'Friday the 13th: The Series!'

 Another Friday the 13th in the year 2026 is here.

Let's see if there's a properly Irish Episode to cover.

***

We're at the 2nd to last ever Episode and it is...

A woman is about to give birth at a Private Center.

The Nurse says that the Father-to-be needs to go outside with a candle for a ritual...and he's grabbed by roots and pulled into the base of a tree!

Johnny- the new Male Lead for Season 3- meets the woman from earlier.

She was told that only her Son survived, but she doesn't buy it.

Johnny looks into her story and, well, she's right.
This would be a bad Episode if she was just crazy.

The Center is run by Druids- all Ladies- is helping couples give birth to fraternal twins and then keeping the girl child.

They're also sacrificing the Husbands, because Cults.

The girls are all part of a plan to form new Druidic Covens across the World!

Step 1: Make A Bunch of Covens
Step 2: ????
Step 3: Profit!

The group finally believes Johnny as he finds out more about the group.

It all revolves around an artifact- a Cernunnos Idol.

It makes magic fruit or something as long as you do the rituals correctly.

The Mom, of course, doesn't wait for help and is left to die by the evil Druids.

They do what Dr. Phibes did to Terry Thomas, but slower and less efficiently.

The trio try to stop it, but things don't go well at first.

Jack is nearly sacrificed, while Johnny attacks the tree at the roots.

Lightning strikes and the ritual is ruined.

The tree falls on the evil Doctor and the day is saved.
The End.

A strong Episode, even if the promise of a Wicker Man isn't delivered.

The idea of evil, lady Druids is a good one.  It only took 71 Episodes to get there!

Granted- in a real-world situation, this evil plan has about 100 holes in it.  This is the Show about magical artifacts though, so...

While watching the Episode, I was making Wicker Man jokes to myself (jokes about bear suits and bees, etc.).  Seconds later, they say that they are preparing a Wicker Man!

Well, it is actually just a Wicker Coffin to burn.  Boo.

Regardless, this one has an evil villain with a lovely Irish brogue and Jack speaking Gaelic.
Oh well, time to check out this Show in...8 months.

Sorry, Jack.

An Episode with good villains and an interesting Artifact.  Just don't promise me a Wicker Man and then give me nothing!
