Danielle Rose Russell said she hoped Season 2 would show more of Hope’s darker side, since jumping into Malivore must’ve damaged her psyche.
So much of Legacies Season 2 is going to have to follow whatever happened next to Hope after she jumped into Malivore, while balancing that with everyone else at the Salvatore School kinda noticing there’s something missing.
Everyone else may have forgotten her, but she should still remember them.
That includes her love, Landon; headmaster/mentor, Alaric; Josie, whom Hope just saved with her blood; and — perhaps most especially — Rafael, who really needs Hope to return more than anyone so she can make him a non-wolf again.
