What happens and why it matters
The second half of the opening case pushes the possession/revenge setup into action and uses the Mo household incident to reintroduce Wei Wuxian’s unorthodox methods without handing viewers the full history at once.
PopRot’s read is that the episode works because every supernatural incident doubles as character pressure: rules reveal values, resentful energy exposes old wounds, and clan hierarchy decides who gets believed.
