Two Witches (2021) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

The elderly witch targeted Sarah because she was pregnant. In the witch's matriarchal lineage, power is passed down by consuming the unborn child of a chosen vessel. The witch needed Sarah's fetus to complete her own transformation and transfer her abilities to the next generation, which is why she appeared at the restaurant and haunted Sarah with visions.

Foreshadowing: Sarah's nightmares of the elderly woman began immediately after their first encounter at the restaurant.

Simon died of a heart attack while barricaded in the bathroom. When Sarah fell into a trance-like state and attacked him, he locked himself in the bathroom. During the struggle, he saw a horrific vision of the elderly woman holding his unborn child in the bathtub, which triggered a fatal cardiac arrest. The police later ruled it as domestic violence, covering up the supernatural nature of the events.

Foreshadowing: Simon had been dismissive of Sarah's fears throughout the evening, dismissing her paranoia rather than taking her warnings seriously.

The elderly witch consumed Sarah's unborn fetus in a grotesque ritual. After the radio reported Sarah's disappearance and Simon's death, the witch made a soup containing the fetus and ate it while a clawed, black-cloaked figure stood behind her. This act marked her full surrender to the dark influence and allowed her power to transfer to the next generation.

Foreshadowing: The vision Simon saw in the bathtub showed the elderly woman holding the fetus, foreshadowing its fate.

Masha is the granddaughter of the elderly witch. When Masha confides in Rachel about inheriting powers from her grandmother, she reveals she will become the next witch in their matriarchal bloodline. The elderly woman Sarah encountered was Masha's grandmother, making both storylines connected through the same family curse.

Foreshadowing: Masha mentions her grandmother and hints at inheriting supernatural powers before the connection becomes clear.

Masha became violent at the party because she was possessed by her grandmother's spirit at the moment of her grandmother's death. When her grandmother died that night, Masha's body became the vessel for her grandmother's power, transforming her into a violent, uncontrollable force. This possession drove her to attack a guest in the bathroom and set the stage for the night's tragedy.

Foreshadowing: Masha's face had distorted during her earlier one-night encounter, showing her instability before the possession.

Masha killed Rachel before arriving at Mary's house. Masha presented a live rabbit to Mary, claiming it was Rachel who had been therianthropized (transformed into an animal). When Mary looked under the table, she saw Rachel's dead body instead. Masha had murdered Rachel and used the rabbit as a twisted, symbolic cover story.

Foreshadowing: Earlier, Masha had tried to take Rachel's personal stories and present them as her own, showing her pattern of co-opting Rachel's identity.

Mary killed herself after seeing Rachel's dead body and being tormented by a spectral apparition of Masha's grandmother. When Masha snapped the rabbit's neck and Mary looked beneath the table to see Rachel's lifeless form, the ghost of Masha's grandmother appeared and psychologically tormented Mary, driving her to commit suicide in the garage.

Foreshadowing: The supernatural presence had been building throughout the film, with the grandmother's spirit manipulating multiple victims.

• mary suicide
• grandmother ghost
• self-harm
• psychological torment

The ending strongly implies Sarah has become the next vessel for the witch's power. When found by authorities, Sarah rants that a witch ate her baby, and as the detective interview room lights flicker, Masha's grandmother's spirit appears while Sarah laughs maniacally. This suggests the matriarchal curse has passed from Masha's grandmother through Masha and ultimately settled into Sarah, continuing the cycle of evil.

Foreshadowing: The coven at the end summoned a devil who demanded they bow to a new queen, foreshadowing the transfer of power.

• curse continues

The coven accepted Masha as their new queen because she successfully inherited her grandmother's power through the ritual of possession. When Masha's grandmother died, her spirit transferred into Masha, making her the eldest living witch of the lineage. The witches summoned the devil, who declared they must bow to their new queen, legitimizing Masha's position as the coven's leader.

Foreshadowing: Masha had been training to inherit her grandmother's powers throughout the film, discussing her destiny with Rachel.

The séance triggered Sarah's possession by the elderly witch's influence. Melissa's attempt to banish the spirit backfired, as the ritual created a connection that allowed the witch to reach Sarah more intensely. Sarah slipped into a trance-like state where the witch's influence took control, causing her to attack Simon with violent intent, believing she was acting to protect her unborn child from the witch's claim.

Foreshadowing: Sarah had been experiencing nightmarish visions of the elderly woman ever since the restaurant encounter, showing she was already targeted.
