The Changeling: Emma’s Third Wish Explained (& How It Connects To Her Dark Fate)

In its first three episodes, The Changeling only reveals Emma’s first two wishes, leaving audiences curious about what her third wish could have been. Based on Victor LaValle’s novel of the same name, Apple TV+’s The Changeling begins on a light-hearted note, where it walks through the brewing relationship between Apollo and Emma. However, it unveils its horror undertones and hints at its darker elements by portraying how Emma meets a mysterious woman in Brazil who ties a string around her hand and tells her that three of her wishes will be fulfilled if the sting falls off.
