📸 Sky/BadWolf - A Discovery of Witches S2 E06

"Mr Knox was just leaving."

Another favourite scene from the #RealTimeWatch of 'A Discovery of Witches' S1 episode 3. Coz this was the first time we see Diana and Matthew as a team. They stand together in their 'power couple' pose and face down the bad guy. And 'Bishmont' is born. Plus - Matthew does another growl - Yay!

Matthew Goode and Teresa Palmer as Matthew Clairmont and Diana Bishop.

Mother and son, Matthew and Ysabeau, Matthew and Lindsay.

I just adore them. Their dance together was so beautiful, the chemistry palpable. Two wonderful actors creating magic on screen.

Here is the music piece they danced to (Glenn Miller's Tuxedo Junction):

Ophelia Jackson-Clairmont née Foster-Jackson ( insp. & insp. )

Matthew, we have the chance to change history. We can’t just sit back and do nothing. I’m sorry, mon coeur, but there is nothing to be done. I don’t believe that. And I can’t believe that you do, either. Don’t you think that the covenant is wrong? That Philippe was wrong to create it in the first place? I know he was your father, but you have to admit, he was not perfect — no parent is. Creating the covenant did more harm than good. Like I said, there is nothing to be done. The Congregation will ensure that the covenant will never be overruled. I don’t understand why you won’t fight for us. Because to go against something as ancient as the covenant would mean certain death. It is a fight we cannot ever hope to win. So, you’re not even going to try? Ophelia, it is too dangerous. I would never forgive myself if you were harmed. But what about the countless other creatures we could save if we managed to disband the covenant? Matthew, this is about more than just us. Can’t you see that? Please, think about this. Diana and I can’t do this without you and your family. The Congregation has a higher chance of listening to the de Clermonts than a couple of witches who don’t know how to use their magic. Matthew, I’m not proud of it, but I’m begging you. Don’t leave. We can win this fight. I know we can. Please. Ophelia... I love you. There, I said it. I know we’ve only known each other for a month, but I’ve never been more certain of anything in my entire life. I love you, Matthew de Clermont. Ysabeau will continue to ensure your safety here at Sept-Tours while I am in London. You and Diana will be protected. So, that’s it? You’re just going to walk away. I have no choice, Ophelia. There is always a choice. Not always. You’ve been many things in your long life, Matthew de Clairmont, but I never knew you were a coward.

To every question I have ever had, or ever will have, you are the answer...
