Arcane season 2 act 1 is full of shocking moments that’ll leave you with more questions than answers

That won’t stop me from offering my thoughts and theories on what’s going to happen.

Arcane season 2 act 1 ending explained: when can I watch episode 4 on Netflix?

Arcaneseason 2 episode 4 will launch on Netflix onSaturday, November 16.

“Patience, my dear boy! More episodes are coming very soon”

It won’t be the only new installment to air on that date, though.

Arcane season 2 act 1 ending explained: what happens to Vi, Jinx, and Caitlyn?

I think the question should be whatdoesn’thappen, really.

However, the pair don’t realize they’ve been lured into a trap.

Unfortunately for Caitlyn, she wasn’t actually aiming at Jinx it was her reflection in a circular mirror.

Hey, I told you the duo affectionately dubbed ‘CaitVi’ byArcanefans had walked into an ambush.

If that isn’t loyalty, Isha, I don’t know what is

No fight inArcaneis straightforward, though.

In the resulting chaos, Caitlyn incapacitates Sevika and, eyeing another opening, fires at Jinx once more.

Before Isha can pull the trigger, though, Caitlyn shoots the gun out of her hand.

I guess this sets up Pit Fighter Vi’s arc in season 2 act 2, then…

Jinx has escaped again and it’s an understatement to say Caitlyn isn’t happy.

Caitlyn leaves to return to Piltover, leaving a distraught Vi alone in Zaun’s underground internet of tunnels.

Arcane season 2 act 1 ending explained: where do Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger go?

That’s no wild rune…

The answer to this query is less clear.

Unfortunately, the group can’t solve the conundrum.

Just minutes after arriving at their destination, the Anomaly a giant Hexcore-like object appears before them.

Stop, hammer glitch time!

As he strikes it, Jayce, Ekko, and Heimerdinger are abruptly whisked away to an unknown location.

So, where are they?

Some fans may think they’ve traveled to another dimension.

There’s more explaining forArcaneto do here.

I suspect we’ll learn more about wild runes as season 2 progresses.

Viktor’s glorious evolution begins…

For now, this is as good an explanation as we’ll get.

Arcane season 2 act ending explained: what is Viktor’s new mission?

To end Zaun’s suffering and heal its populace.

Arcane season 2 act 1 ending explained: what is Ambessa’s end goal?

Because it’s so difficult to pin down what she wants to achieve this season.

I have two theories about her objectives.

Ambessa beating her chest as she bows in Arcane season 2

Ambessa is really starting to sink her claws into Piltover’s finest

The first is simple: bring Piltover under Noxus' rule.

My other theory is a bit more complicated.

Reading between the lines, that’s got to be money and/or titles.

Erm, congratulations on another promotion, Caitlyn?

The group is so secretive that its members don’t actually know who else is a part of it.

Of course, this begs the question: will the Black Rose be revealed asArcane’s Big Bad?

I certainly think so.

Nope, that’s enough magic-based body horror for me,Arcane…

Thanks to season 2 act 1, we know this is 100% true.

Don’t bet against it.

Arcane season 2 act 1 ending explained: who is Janna?

One of the least important season 2 act 1 questions, but nonetheless a fascinating one to answer.

I don’t think so, but, hey, I’ve been wrong before!
