With a much slower pace this time around and more prophetic messages brought to the foreground, See begins to experience problems with its overall world-building as you begin questioning just how far humanity has fallen over such a short space of time. Despite this, and a few continuity issues surrounding Baba Voss' step-children growing up while everyone else remains the same age, See does well to keep things interesting, leading to a cliffhanger ending that sets things up nicely for episode 3 to follow on. Huddled together, episode 2 of See begins with the villagers sleeping while Baba Voss heads out with the babies to hunt. As thunder crackles overhead, he finds himself ambushed by a brown bear which growls in his face and forces him to lose his footing, and subsequently the baby basket too. Fearing for their life, Baba Voss goes toe to toe with the brown bear until an archer saves him, shooting the beast through the next. That archer happens to be Jerlamarel. As it happens, he does have his sight and he looks upon his children with pride, telling Baba to take care of them as they grow. He gives him the key to a box which holds knowledge for this world and implores him to open it when the time is right for the children. Meanwhile, Gether Bax and Maghra head out to find Shadow, a strange, nimble woman who dances her way through the forest without being detected. While in her presence, they ask her to follow Paris in order to find out if she's a witch or not. While the Shadow stands in the corner of the hut listening, Baba Voss opens the box where he finds numerous books and documents. It turns out the Witchfinder burnt many of the books back in the old days but when, why or how this happened remains a mystery. He Shadow returns after her mission and tells Maghra what she knows. It turns out there's no news about Paris being a witch, however he doesn't need it. Instead, Gether Bax decides to spread it anyway to rid them of Paris. As he throws a bottle containing a message down the river, Baba Voss confronts him some time later about whispers on the wind. Here, he tells him that if anyone has anything to say, they should say it before he finds them first. It feels more like a challenge than a suggestion but it's enough to unsettle him nonetheless.
