Arcane Season 2 (2024)
Jayce and Mel, joined by councilors Shoola and Salo, narrowly survive Jinx’s devastating rocket attack, though at great cost. Salo is left crippled, and other council members, including Caitlyn’s mother, are killed. Viktor is gravely injured, forcing Jayce to betray his vow to destroy the Hexcore by using it to save Viktor, fusing the technology with Viktor's body. The Council debates retaliation against Zaun, with Mel opposing the use of Hextech weaponry. Meanwhile, Vi, haunted by her past, declines Caitlyn’s offer to join the enforcers, recalling how they killed her parents during Vander’s riot.
As Caitlyn mourns the loss of her mother, she gains a promotion to Commander and assembles a task force, including Vi, to confront Jinx and dismantle shimmer production. Meanwhile, chaos engulfs Zaun after Silco’s death. Chem-barons Smeech, Chross, and Margot vie for control, while Sevika seeks unity. Jinx, struggling with her identity, befriends an orphan named Isha and rejects Smeech’s plan to surrender her to Piltover. Viktor, awakening to his metal-clad body and Jayce’s betrayal, leaves Piltover and gains a cult following in Zaun after demonstrating miraculous healing powers.
Jinx’s fragile state worsens when she encounters Vi in enforcer attire during a raid, leading to a breakdown. Ambushed by Smeech, Jinx is saved by Sevika and Isha. Determined to protect her “family,” Jinx plans a bold attack, spreading Piltover’s smog back into the city. Vi and Caitlyn’s relationship deepens, but their alliance strains when Jinx escapes once more. In Zaun, Singed experiments with creating human-wolf hybrids, hinting at dark developments ahead.
Tensions escalate when Ambessa orchestrates a memorial attack to justify martial law. As Zaun descends into further anarchy, Caitlyn and Vi confront Jinx and Sevika in a heated battle. Jinx’s escape leaves Piltover vulnerable as Sevika releases “the Gray” across the city, sparking chaos. Caitlyn is promoted to Commander-in-Chief, tasked with enforcing martial law, while Singed's experiments advance, creating a human-wolf hybrid revealed to be Vander.
Jinx reunites with Vi and Isha, seeking Viktor’s help to heal Vander. Meanwhile, Ambessa and Caitlyn plot to seize Viktor’s sanctuary, with Caitlyn and Vi working covertly to neutralize the threat. Jayce, haunted by his experiences with the wild rune, infiltrates the sanctuary, killing Viktor and triggering chaos. Vander becomes feral, forcing Jinx and Isha to make a desperate stand. Isha sacrifices herself, leaving Jinx devastated.
Amid the destruction, Zaun and Piltover’s fates hang in the balance. Jayce and Caitlyn prepare for Ambessa’s final assault, while Mel negotiates in vain with the war-hungry forces. The Zaunites, led by Ekko and Jinx, rally to defend their home. Viktor’s servants overpower the resistance until Ekko disrupts their control using his time-travel device. Viktor, confronted by Jayce and his future self, chooses redemption, destroying the wild rune and vanishing alongside Jayce.
In the aftermath, Zaun begins to rebuild under Sevika’s leadership on the Council. Singed cures his daughter, while Jinx and Vander’s fates remain uncertain. Mel departs for Noxus, and Caitlyn and Vi reflect on their tumultuous journey, pondering a fragile future amidst the ashes of war.
