'Britannia' Season 2 Episode 6 Preview: Harka sends a 'bloody message' to Veran, is Amena behind this?
There is a prophecy that speaks of how Britannia can be saved only by a maiden – "hope is the daughter of the blind father," the prophecy says. Veran (Mackenzie Crook) had set it in place thousands of years ago, even before anyone could imagine a conquest like this. When the Romans arrived on the coasts of Britannia with their massive army and technologically advanced arms and ammunition, they had little idea that a prophecy awaits them.
When Aulus (David Morrissey) discovers about this prophecy, he invests all his might and more into finding Cait (Eleanor Worthington Cox) and putting an end to it. That was in Season 1. In season 2, his search for Cait is still ongoing. But now, armed with Willa's (Jodie McNee) latest update, he might get his hands on her. Or will he?
Suddenly, everyone has their eyes on this girl. Divis (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) would have liked to keep this prophecy a secret. But now, Cait's life, the fate of the prophecy, and the future of this land are at threat, especially with Harka's quest.
In the previous episode of the historical fantasy drama, Harka sends Mallin (Tom Rhys Harries), the boy he had deemed 'love' in an attempt to thwart her role in the prophecy. Everywhere is Britannia is trouble for Cait - except for around Divis. Elsewhere, Amena (Annabel Scholey) is arrested by her sister Andra (Samantha Colley) following an unsuccessful proposal meeting. It is when Veran arrives and recalls Andra's promise to the Gods that she jumps into action.
While so much happened in the previous episode, the synopses for the upcoming episode reveal very little about what is to happen next.
According to the official synopsis of the episode, "Philo and Brutus, deserters from the Roman Army, decide to play a prank on their old colleagues. Later, Harka sends a gruesome message to Veran." Veran is with the Devni tribe - so does Harka's message come to him there? Or will this have anything to do with Amena?
At the same time, well well, it has been a while since we last saw Philo (Zaqi Ismail) and Brutus (Daniel Caltagirone). Last we saw them was in Season 1 high as a kite. Rumour has it that they might be doing the same this time around.
'Britannia' airs on Epix on Sundays at 9/ 8c.
