Episode 6 of Willow revived Kilmer’s Madmartigan with the help of Jack Kilmer in this episode, even if it was just his voice – but that’s not the only highlight! Christian Slater’s Allagash and Tom Wilton and his evolved trolls definitely brought humor to this otherwise intense episode.
This week’s episode unraveled the truth behind the original hunt of the Kymerian Cuirass and the events that led to Madmartigan’s death. But more than that, we see some development between Elora and Graydon, Kit’s grief over her father, and the twins falling into fatal danger. What will the next episode bring after that ominous ending?
1. Episode 7 Synopsis/Speculation
This week’s episode’s ending was the epitome of a cliffhanger, with Kit drowning while the others tried to save her and Airk meeting a mystery woman in the most ominous of settings.
With Airk’s confusing kidnapping, Lili’s introduction doesn’t seem like one of a savior at this point but a devious ploy of the Crone to activate the Six’s blood in his system. The mystery behind her arrival and true identity should be revealed in next week’s episode.
Boorman’s quest is finally complete, and the cuirass is in the team’s hands – but will Boorman be worthy of the armor, or will someone else get a chance to wear it? we will have to wait and watch!
What did Scorpia mean when she warned Jade about choosing sides and sticking with it? Is Elora Donan strong enough to save Kit and get them out of Skellin unharmed? Is Graydon susceptible to yet another possession, or is he fully healed?
Sigh, all these questions left unanswered. Hopefully, the following week’s episode will answer them while progressing towards the finale.

5. Episode 6 Recap
Willow and Kit find themselves in the underground prison of Skellin after the trolls kidnapped them and separated them from the group – but they’re not alone. A decade-long prisoner claiming to be Madmartigan talks them up about the hunt for the Kymerian Cuirass while the remainder of their rescue party attempts to spring them from Skellin.
Elora and the rest sneak into Skellin as trolls, but Donan drops her wand in the abyss, liquefying the ground, while Graydon is separated from the group. Willow discovers the prisoner’s identity, who is really Madmartigan’s knight Allagash, who reveals Boorman was the traitor that veered the hunt off and resulted in Kit’s father’s death.
After the prisoners free themselves from the Crone’s lackeys, the group reunites, and Boorman reveals Allagash was the true traitor. They carry on finding the cuirass and succeed, but Kit finds her father’s sword and is almost lured into a trap when she suddenly hears his voice calling her.
Elora and Jade pull her away, but Kit is blinded by rage at Donan, due to whom the caves are collapsing, and she’d have no way to reunite with her father. A stone falls, and Kit falls into the frozen abyss as the others pound on the magically closed-off hole to save her.
Elora casts a spell to free Kit, but before we see if she succeeds, the scene cuts to a waking Airk. He meets a mysterious girl, Lili, who claims she’d save them all if he freed her.
