In ‘Wisdom Visits From the East,’ Faust travels to North America to investigate environmental decay. Meg receives a surprise visit from Inori, the Sage of Wisdom. Inori shares that humanity hopes witches can reverse environmental damage, though it may already be too late.

She offers Meg a future role as her assistant, prompting Meg to confess her fear of failure and death. Inori reveals a meteor shower to inspire Meg, reigniting her will to live. Weeks later, the Otherworld Festival approaches, but Faust is injured, prompting her to summon Sophie Hayter.

The annual Otherworld Festival begins in Once Upon A Witch’s Death Episode 4, where the gate to the afterlife is going to be opened by Sophie and Meg. As she could cause a commotion, Sophie disguises her appearance to avoid attention.

The two will spend time together in town, allowing Meg to witness Sophie’s extraordinary magical intellect firsthand. The episode will also explore Sophie’s origins, how she became a witch, and her personal motivations with magic. The two will then open the gate together, but whether they succeed without error is uncertain.
