In the previous episode of HBO’s Lovecraft Country, Captain Lancaster cursed Diana, and it caught up to her. In Lovecraft Country Season 1 Episode 9, Christina buys some time, and Hippolyta returns with a plan.

Rewind and Reset

Ruby brought Christina to see Dee. She concluded the curse came from both Titus’ and Horatio’s pages. Only Captain Lancaster could remove the curse, but they had witnessed him getting blown up. Christina would help reset the curse, but they needed the blood of her closest relative, and she would only agree if Atticus came willingly to Ardham for the autumnal equinox. Montrose confessed to Tic that he could be George’s son. However, Hippolyta arrived just in time to help. Christina successfully reset the curse, giving them twenty-four hours.

As William, Christina went to the Chicago Lodge to find Captain Lancaster. The usual spell they would use, replacing his injured parts with those of black men, wasn’t working. Christina revealed the talisman reversing the spell. Lancaster died.

Hippolyta drove them to the observatory to use the multiverse machine. She plugged into herself to help find Tulsa of that universe in 1921. They were going to retrieve the Book of Names before Tic’s mother, Dora’s house burned down during the massacre.

Montrose’s father saved Leti and brought her into Dora’s house. They armed themselves, and Dora’s sister confessed to Leti that she was jealous that Dora was going to prom with George Freeman. While left alone, Leti searched the house but couldn’t find it. Dora’s grandmother found her, and Leti convinced her that she was from the future and needed the Book of Names. She handed over the Book to Leti, who stayed with her as the house burned down.
