There will be some minor spoilers here in regards to the book so if you don't want anything potentially ruined for you then I recommend you turn off now.
As for the entry itself we pick up right after the events of Season 1 with Lyra stepping through the tear in the fabric of her reality. This is mirrored by Will who did the same thing on his end both meet up in the entry. Whilst it feels like a lot of fun and games throughout, this episode very much sets up the great war that is coming.
On one side are the Magisterium who wish to find the subtle Knife through Will and on the other are The Witches who believe that Lyra will be the key to their salvation. In the wake of Lord Asrial opening up the portal to another reality, the world has stumbled into chaos. The witches believe that this is the fulfilment of a prophecy laid out long ago that states all existence will either be destroyed or made anew.
Juxtaposing this the high ranking members of Magisterium believe that Lord Asrial birthed it into existence and that to state it was already there is heresy. At one point they capture a witch and torture her which forces the group to launch an attack on them which we'll get into in just a bit.
This episode is very much about both Will and Lyra meeting and forming a union with other another. Early on Lyra arrives at the town of Cittagazze which is the same location that could be glimpsed through The Northern Lights in Season 1.
Cittagazze roughly translates to City Of Magpies which also just so happens to be the name of this entry.
Incase you don't know, in the books, this seaside location is based on an italian mediterranean town and throughout it's cobbled roads and ancient architecture we can see abandoned homes and restaurants.
At the centre of it lies Torre Deglie Angeli which translates to the Tower Of The Angels and within it is held the Subtle Knife which of course ties in with Will's fate.
Now with this new world comes new rules and similar to Lyra's world this is tied in with Puberty.
In Lyra's world, Mrs Coulter wanted to seperate children from their demons before they hit puberty in order to save them from Sin. She believes that if she accomplishes this on a grander scale that the entire world will be free of sin and thus has been carrying out experiments on children for what she views as the greater good.
I know it goes beyond that but it's an important rule to pay attention to as this idea of adolescence causing problems is very much tied in with this new world.
The Cittagazze is pretty much devoid of adults and bar a zombie like one named Tullio that we encounter in the entry, the entire location is only really populated by a gang of children...who...ey Lyanna's back!
Anyway we discover that the city is actually haunted by invisible ghosts known as Spectres. Once a child starts to mature, these spirits become visible and they suck the souls of their victims, leaving them in an almost undead like state.
