Shadowhunters 107 Preview: ‘Major Arcana’ – Expect the Unexpected!
Lyanna Spearwife
It looks like every episode of ‘Shadowhunters’ is going to be full of surprises, twists and turns, and drama! The preview videos below certainly show us some unexpected things to come. Perhaps there are some other hints in the episode title?
The word ‘arcana’ by itself, means mysteries, or, in modern day terms “commercial in confidence”, “tricks of the trade”.
However, the term ‘Major Arcana’ refers to Tarot cards. It is half the pack of Tarot cards: the 22 trump cards, including “The Fool”.
I don’t know if Cassandra Clare and Ed Decter use the same information, but About.com explains (formatting my own):
Didn’t Luke have Dot’s Tarot cards from Jocelyn’s apartment in his desk drawer?
Didn’t Dot draw a Tarot card with a single goblet when Clary walked in, on her 18th birthday, in the first episode?
I wonder what special meaning we will realise when we see the full episode?
Episode Synopsis, ‘Major Arcana’:
After piecing together the clues as to where her mother hid the Mortal Cup, Clary, Jace, Alec and Isabelle are on the clock to find its hiding place before anyone else. But with demons and Downworlders lurking everywhere, obtaining the Cup may not be as easy as they had hoped.
Meanwhile, as Simon’s symptoms become increasingly worse, he fears he is turning into a vampire. (Trailer 0:29)
There’s LOTS in that trailer to make us wonder what is going on. Has Clary gone mad?
