So far, three episodes of the show have been released. The first two episodes came out on May 13, and the third episode was released on May 20. In the first three episodes, we witness the death of Cora’s husband in London. She becomes a close friend of her husband’s doctor Luke Garrett. After her death, Cora heads to Essex in Aldwinter with her son and live-in maid Martha after she learns about the return of the flying serpent.
At Essex, Cora meets vicar Will Ransome who believes that the stories of the serpent are mere rumours. Cora is an intellectual and has a scientific approach. She believes that the serpent might exist and has a scientific explanation for her beliefs. Strange things keep happening at Essex. During one event, Cora is the one who mentions the serpent in front of the kids. It makes the villagers suspicious of her.
We saw Will getting insecure about seeing Cora and Luke’s friendship in the third episode. At the end of the episode, he holds her closer as if he’s going to kiss her. Will’s wife Stella watches it all from the Ransome house’s window.
