She’s distraught when she tells her mother about this. Somehow, Rowan caused him to have an aneurysm. He criticizes her, and Rowan grows increasingly frustrated until suddenly, he falls to the ground.

He’s dismissive of her talents and seems irritated by the fact Rowan is smart, savvy, and maybe even a better surgeon than him. But her boss at the hospital is, to put it bluntly, an ass. Eager to do something to help, Rowan decides to apply for a research assistant job for a stem cell trial. Rowan’s life is flipped on its axis when she learns that Ellie’s cancer has returned.

This woman appears to be a much older version of Deirdre Mayfair. A doctor arrives to administer a Thorazine drip to a catatonic woman perched on the front porch. Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches on AMC opens on the mossy old house with its two-story porch and damp green exterior. Down in the muggy heat of Louisiana stands a formidable ivy-cloaked manor home passed down through generations of Mayfair women.
