Examples of Masculine Personality Traits Exhibited by Macy Vaughn:
- Willing to take risks: Macy taps into her Evil Sight to figure out where Fiona is holding Harry hostage after taking him at the end of 1×17. She also later uses it to locate Parker.
- Analytical: Macy is able to deduct that something is wrong with Dr. Julia when she finds broken glass on the floor, her badge in her office, and Julia nowhere to be found.
- Self-reliant: Macy is reluctant to accept help from Galvin when looking for Julia, after their breakup. Together, the two find Julia, dead, in the trunk of her car.
- Leadership ability: Macy and her sisters take on Fiona and save Harry at the end of the episode, finding out that the “Flame of all Magic” and the “Source of all Evil” are actually one and the same, meaning witches and demons draw their powers from the same source.
Examples of Feminine Personality Traits Exhibited by Macy Vaughn:
- Yielding: Macy opens up more about her breakup with Galvin to Dr. Julia, as she had a similar relationship with the demon Alistair as a human woman.
- Eager to soothe hurt feelings/sympathetic: Macy breaks the news to Maggie that Julia is dead and Parker is missing gently, showing growth from earlier in the season when breaking the news that the two actually share a father.
Conclusion: This episode points at the beginning of a darker chapter for Macy, as the traits above illustrate. She is giving in more to her “masculine” traits, how she used to be at the beginning of the series. This is also foreshadowed at the end of the episode, after talking with Galvin, Macy’s demonic eyes flash, and a beaker breaks in the lab. Despite this, Macy does retain a warm relationship with Maggie, and they all come together to save Harry from the villainous Fiona, so it seems like only the beginning for a Dark!Macy to emerge.
