Arcaneseason 2 already has major stakes as the show reaches its conclusion, but the series is also setting up a dark arc for Caitlyn that could have huge ramifications. After an award-winning first outing,Arcaneseason 2 will end theLeague of Legendsadaptation, meaning every ongoing storyline will have to be wrapped up when the show returns. Although the battle between Zaun and Piltover will be the overarching story of season 2, each character will have their own objective during this war, and a recent update suggests Caitlyn’s mission could be incredibly somber.
Caitlyn was one of Arcane season 1’s central characters, but despite being driven and ambitious, she seemed more hopeful than many of the show’s other characters, which could be about to change in season 2. With the series gearing up to get even more brutal,Caitlyn looks like she will be impacted by the war more than most, meaning her attitude and demeanor could take a full 180. Rather than optimistically searching for peace, it looks like Caitlyn may finally show her darker side inArcaneseason 2 after years of waiting, leading to a story full of heartbreak.
Caitlyn’s New Arcane Poster Suggests She Will Be Out For Revenge After Jinx’s Piltover Attack
Caitlyn’s Primary Goal In Arcane Season 2 Will Be To Stop Jinx
WithArcanedropping a new character poster for Caitlyn, the Enforcer seems like she will spend season 2 hunting down one of the show’s major characters, Jinx.Jinx is the one responsible for reigniting the war between Piltover and Zaun, as her assault on the Piltover Council duringArcaneseason 1’s endinglooks to be the cause of the upcoming conflict. While it’s possible some council members survived, season 2’s trailer heavily suggests most of them died, with Caitlyn’s mother likely being among the casualties. As a result, it seems inevitable that Caitlyn will be after the woman responsible.
The latest character poster further points towards the Piltover native being on a path for revenge, as the artwork depicts her looking intensely at a poster of Jinx. Caitlyn was even present during Jinx’s attack, but she was unable to stop it, potentially adding to the heartbreak of losing her mother if she was indeed one of the victims. With this pivotal moment likely changing Caitlyn’s entire personality and motivations, she may be the one responsible for telling Piltover that Jinx was the culprit, and her desire to catch the chaotic rebel risks becoming an unhealthy obsession.

Even though Vi can see how flawed Jinx has become, it’ll be hard to completely turn on her sister.
Even though Vi can see how flawed Jinx has become, it’ll be hard to completely turn on her sister, and having Caitlyn try to stop or even kill Jinx will create plenty of tension.
