After the devastating events of Episode 6, Primal Season 3 is set to plunge even deeper into emotional turmoil, brutal survival, and irreversible consequences. Episode 7 could be a turning point not just in the storyline, but in the fragile bond between Spear, Fang, and Mira.
With Mira gravely injured, Fang conflicted, and Spear increasingly isolated, the next chapter could deliver one of the most emotionally complex episodes the series has ever attempted.
Mira’s Life Hangs by a Thread
Episode 7 is likely to open with the aftermath of the cave massacre. The survivors stagger through hostile terrain, battered and traumatised, while Mira lies barely conscious, her injury worsening with every step. The boar’s bite was not just savage; it may be infected, threatening both her life and that of her unborn child.
Spear, desperate to help, is expected to remain close, scavenging for medicinal plants, water, and shelter. However, Fang’s hostility toward him may escalate. Her attack in the previous episode suggests a deep fracture in their relationship; whether driven by instinct, jealousy, or fear of losing her young, Fang now sees Spear as an unpredictable threat rather than an ally.
The emotional distance could create devastating consequences, as Spear may be forced to choose between respecting Fang’s wishes and saving Mira’s life.
A Dangerous Return to Civilization
The preview hints that the group will return to the human settlement - a place that has never welcomed Spear. In Episode 7, we may finally witness the full consequences of his monstrous reputation. To the humans, Spear is not a hero; he is a walking nightmare, a savage beast capable of mass slaughter; the very hands that saved them are stained with blood they cannot forget.
Fear will likely turn into hatred.
Villagers may attempt to capture or even kill Spear, seeing him as a greater danger than the wild beasts beyond their walls. This hostility could trigger violent confrontations, forcing Spear to restrain himself for Mira’s sake and his struggle to suppress his primal instincts may become one of the episode’s emotional centerpieces.
Instead of fighting back, Spear may choose submission, enduring beatings, chains, and humiliation, because Mira needs protection and peace, not more bloodshed.
Fang’s Loyalty Is Put to the Ultimate Test
Fang’s emotional arc in Episode 7 could be the most heartbreaking yet. Torn between instinct and affection, she stands at a crossroads. Does she continue to reject Spear, or does she finally recognise his sacrifices?
Seeing Spear endure pain without retaliation may stir something deep within her, memories of their shared survival, their victories, and the countless moments that forged their bond. Slowly, cautiously, Fang might begin to understand that Spear is no longer the same man who once hunted her kind.
Yet reconciliation will not come easily. You can expect moments of tense standoffs, heavy silence, and subtle emotional gestures; the kind of storytelling Primal excels at. A single glance, a shared breath, or a silent rescue could carry more weight than a thousand words.
A City on the Brink of Chaos
Mira’s presence alone could destabilise the city; pregnant, wounded, and deeply traumatised, she may become both a symbol of hope and a spark for unrest. The survivors from the cave will likely spread horrifying tales of the boar monsters, stirring panic among the population.
In response, leaders may call for harsher defences, forced hunts, or even sacrificial offerings to appease unseen gods. Fear has a way of turning communities cruel, and Episode 7 may explore the darkest side of human survival: paranoia, mob justice, and blind cruelty. Spear, once again, could become the scapegoat.
The Breaking Point
As tensions rise, it’s possible that Episode 7 builds toward a catastrophic confrontation. A mob attack, a public execution attempt, or an ambush could push Spear to his limits. The moment he snaps, or chooses not to, will define his destiny.
Will he finally abandon humanity, retreating into the wild alongside Fang, or will he stand firm, absorbing cruelty in silence for Mira’s sake?
This internal struggle may culminate in a powerful, emotionally devastating scene, one that reshapes his identity forever.
A Fragile Hope for the Future
Despite the looming darkness, Episode 7 may also offer glimpses of fragile hope. If Mira survives, her child could symbolise renewal, a promise that life continues even after unimaginable loss.
Spear’s connection to this unborn life may deepen, fueling his resolve to protect, even if it costs him everything. Fang, witnessing this devotion, might slowly begin to trust him again, setting the stage for an emotional reconciliation in the episodes to come.
What Episode 7 Could Mean for the Rest of the Season
With only three episodes remaining after this, Episode 7 is positioned as the emotional fulcrum of the season. The choices made here will echo through the finale, shaping alliances, fueling vendettas, and possibly sealing tragic fates.
Viewers may expect brutal action, aching silence, and storytelling that relies more on raw emotion than spectacle. Primal thrives in these moments, where survival is not just physical, but psychological.
If Episode 6 was a descent into horror, Episode 7 may be a journey through despair and perhaps, the first flicker of redemption.
