R is for Relentless is the eighteenth episode of season 2, and the forty-fourth episode overall of the TV series.
Plot[]
The girls were trying to protect Yan Lin, the last remaining former Guardian, by hiding her in a cave, but the Knights of Destruction discovered their hiding place so W.I.T.C.H. then decided to hide her in plain sight - in Sheffield Institute's cafeteria!
However, the Knights of Destruction and Nerissa chased Hay Lin, Yan Lin and Blunk from one dimension to another. While Nerissa and Hay Lin faught, Halinor, disguised as Principal Knickerbocker, took Yan Lin away to Nerissa's cell on Mount Thanos, where W.I.T.C.H. then reunited.
Nerissa attempted many times to get Yan Lin to join her, but she refused. Hay Lin frantically battled Nerissa for Yan Lin's freedom, and succeeded. Hay Lin was then once again at peace knowing her Grandma is safe.
In the B-story, Hay Lin had a bad luck when her Chinese fortune cookies didn't contain her future, however in the end it was revealed that Blunk removed the papers, thinking they were a choking hazard. Hay Lin, in the end, picked one that said "The future is in your hands..."
Possible mistakes[]
- When Nerissa tried to convince Yan Lin to join her in Mount Thanos, Kadma could be seen holding the Heart of Zamballa in its original form, despite it being fused into the Seal of Nerissa.
