It makes me wonder if the show will take a really odd turn at some point.

I think it has already started to take an odd turn.

Spoiler for episode 5:

After all these episodes of Artesia hunting for Alice (dead or alive) we suddently discover that Alice is Ateria's daughter and so Ateria no longer wants to kill or capture her. Suddenly everything is okay. More than that, Alice is a witch, not a human like she has been claiming. There goes the whole theme of "magic can be done by anyone with a heart that believes."

The show just turned topsy-turvey on us. And I'm not convinced that it isn't going to turn topsy-turvey again.
