SALEM: “Our Own Private America” Synopsis and Photos

By  | 

Half way through this first season and things seems to be getting more and more dangerous for everyone. Here’s WGN America’s synopsis for this Sunday’s episode of Salem.

When a shakeup within the coven leaves Mary with more power than ever, she hatches her most nefarious plan yet to bring the witches closer to achieving the Grand Rite. Alden and Cotton, reeling from the aftermath of their interrogation, question the efficacy of the trials while Cotton is left to wonder if his life’s work has amounted to anything. Alden finds himself weaker by the day – a victim of a dream spell that Mary uses to search Alden’s subconscious to locate the Malum – and work out her sexual frustration in the process. Meanwhile, with Mary’s attentions increasingly focused on her old flame Alden and her new pupil Mercy, tension escalates between Mary and Tituba. Elsewhere, Anne makes an eerie discovery about her father’s activities. When Cotton’s father Increase Mather makes an unanticipated entrance, Salem and its coven faces the arrival of the most feared witch hunter.

In addition to Lang, guest starring are Sammi Hanratty (“Chosen”) as Dottie, Mary Catherine O’Donnell as Emily, Daniel James as Joe Barker, Sharon Landry as Mrs. Barker, Rachel Whitman Groves as Mrs. Trask, David Jensen (“Bonnie and Clyde”) as Captain, Morgana Shaw as Mab, and Ben Mouton as Lamb.

Salem airs Sunday nights at 10PM Eastern/9PM Central on WGN America.

Despite her better judgment, she enjoys shows about the shallow sides of her home city, but will also find time to watch iZombie, Jane the Virgin, and much more. With a love of history, she also watches anything that is grounded in real life, including Victoria and black-ish. Having worked with children, she also follows shows she knows they watch (reminding her of those days of yore for her in the process). Contact her at roz@nicegirlstv.com.
