As the second season of “Mayfair Witches” unfolds, fans find themselves increasingly curious about who is responsible for the death of Deirdre, portrayed by Annabeth Gish. The series, which blends supernatural elements with thrilling drama, primarily focuses on the life-altering events that befall Rowan Fielding, played by Alexandra Daddario, as she uncovers her family’s deep roots in witchcraft.

In the ensuing whirlwind of occurrences, Rowan discovers what it means to be a witch, amidst continuous surprises and additional complications, such as the shocking death of her mother, Deirdre. However, the identity of the person who killed Deirdre in Mayfair Witches Season 1 remains unclear.

Here’s everything you need to know regarding the cold-blooded murder of Gish’s character.

Who killed Deirdre in Mayfair Witches Season 1?

Contrary to fan anticipation, Deirdre meets her end at the hands of a human assassin in Mayfair Witches Season 1 Episode 4, titled “Curiouser and Curiouser.

In the given episode, audiences find Deirdre’s lifeless body in an elevator with a slit throat, leading many to assume Lasher, the malevolent character, was responsible. However, Ciprien Grieve’s investigation uncovers that it was actually a paid assassin who took Deirdre’s life. Moreover, through his psychic abilities, Grieve detects that the culprit is an experienced and ruthless killer.

This progression of events shifts the responsibility for Deirdre’s death in Mayfair Witches towards Carlotta Mayfair, who had been holding Rowan’s mother prisoner for a considerable time. The initial season additionally portrayed Carlotta’s ruthless ambition to eliminate Lasher, allowing her to carry out arson and even make an attempt on Rowan’s life.

Contrary to what was expected, at the end of Mayfair Witches Season 1, it turns out that Cortland Mayfair was the one who arranged Deirdre’s murder. This is quite different from how Cortland is portrayed in Anne Rice’s Lives of the Mayfair Witches novel trilogy, where he appears as a sympathetic character taken over by Lasher. However, the TV show adaptation significantly alters this by depicting Cortland as the main villain instead.

Regardless of his strenuous attempts, Rowan manages to seal Cortland away in the Season 1 finale by trapping him within a stone casing. Given that Cortland is the latest head of the Mayfair family and has the gift of eternal life, there’s a strong possibility that he will resurface in some form to retaliate against Rowan in the continuing season, or future editions of Mayfair Witches series.
