What to Expect From The Alienist: Angel of Darkness Episodes 1 and 2?
‘The Alienist’ season 2 episode 1 is titled ‘Ex Ore Infantium.’ In the season premiere, we can expect the old team to band together to solve a new mystery that has baffled everyone. Set in 1897 New York, the second season picks up after the events of the predecessor. Sara Howard is now a private investigator and runs a detective agency. Sarah might seek the help of her old friends – John Moore, now a New York Times reporter, and the formidable alienist, Dr. Laszlo Kreizler, to pursue a serial killer who has been kidnapping and slaughtering infants.
When Ana Linares, the infant daughter of Spanish Consular goes missing, the team will take up the case and strive to bring the abductor to justice. Sara, John, and Laszlo will set out to find Ana but they might soon realize that their path is filled with multiple murders and deceit, and a treacherous and evasive killer awaits them on the other side. Apart from that, the team will also have to deal with corruption, gender bias, income inequality, and yellow journalism that is prevalent in society.
In episode 2, titled ‘Something Wicked,’ Sara might have to face the adverse consequences of unraveling a hint while scouting the Siegel Cooper Department Store. We can expect Moore to struggle to strike a balance between his personal and professional life as he delves deeper into New York’s criminal underworld. Laszlo, on the other hand, might begin to investigate the shady undertakings of the Lying-In Hospital. The episode will see the return of the former NYPD Commissioner Thomas Byrnes who might prove to be a hindrance to Laszlo’s operations.
