Episode Summary

Continuing straight where episode one left off, we watch as Darkstorm's plan unfolds. Darkstorm plans to capture the good knights of Prysmos one by one, and starts with Arzon. In addition to this mission, Mortdred and Reckon discover their special powers, the ability to control vehicles, now powered by magic. Using these new powers the Darkling Lords capture Witterquick and Cryotek, although Galadria escapes to tell Leoric of Darkstorm's treachery. As Leoric plans to defend New Valarak the Darkling Lords attack, using their power staffs. Galadria is the next to be captured, soon followed by Leoric, Ectar and Feryl.

Once captured Darkstorm using the Dagger Assault to strip Feryl of his magical totem and threatens to do the same to the others. The knights are then thrown into prison, where they all agree to work together, under Leoric's leadership, and the Spectral Knights, a sacred order dedicated to bringing light to the darkness of Prysmos, is born.

Whilst the Knights celebrate their new alliance, Lexor floods the prison, hoping to drown all the Spectral Knights for mocking him.

Interesting Facts

  1. It is in this episode when the Spectral Knights are formed.
  2. We learn that Galadria is from a place called Androsia and that her biggest fear is drowning (even though she is a great swimmer). Also revealed are her feelings for Cryotek (saying how she was just "wanting to protect her favourite knight").
  3. We learn that the Visionaries cannot remain in their animal forms for long periods of time, as the magic wears off.
  4. We learn that the Cindarr has a soft spot for cats.
  5. This is the first episode where the Dagger Assault's magical prison is used to remove a magical totem.
  6. This is the first episode where the Spectral Knight's catch phrase, may the light shine forever, is used.
  7. According to the original scripts, Witterquick is a prince (they refer to him as Prince Witterquick).
  8. To the north of New Valarak is the ice plains (where Cryotek was captured), which is on the way to Northalia (Cryotek's home town).
  9. We find out that Darkstorm's staff has two powers, rot and restore, which works on a second rhyme. DARKSTORM RHYME:0"Power of rot, obscuring truth, what once was old, restore to youth!"

Missing Scenes

The following list details scenes which were removed from the Visionaries episode Ep 2: The Dark Hand Of Treachery but appear within the original episode scripts.

  1. According to the scripts, Feryl was considering swearing allegiance to Darkstorm (when they were captured) so they could then un-swear it and escape later. Arzon did not like this idea, as a true knight would never do that!
  2. In a missing scene, Witterquick is referred to as Prince Witterquick, though there is no mention to which kingdom he is from.

Altered Scenes

Below you will find a list of all of the scenes within the episode Ep 2: The Dark Hand Of Treachery which were changed from the original planned scenes within Flint Dille's script.

Bloopers

  1. Whilst Arzon is fighting with Virulina, Lexor, Mortdredd and Cravex are above them and Cravex shouts "Darkling Lords, attack!", yet you hear Cindarr's voice.
  2. Arzon and the Darkling Lords jump over a wide precipice without gaining enough balance. When Cryotek says he's spent his only arrow he looks at the front of his staff (as it is black). However in the next scene he is looking at the back (as it is grey).
  3. When Cindarr turns into his gorilla his totem remains on his chest until he disappears, although normally the totem jumps out of the chest plate, leaving it blank.
  4. For the second episode in a row Leoric is missing one of his gloves, this time it's whilst he is being sneaked up on by Mortdredd.
  5. The man who stands up to Darkstorm was not in the crowd before that point.
