In episode 22 of The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2, titled "Give a thief enough rope and he'll hang himself," everyone was expelled from the unconscious dreamworld, except for Philomela. Meanwhile, Lizbeth remembered Adam's birth and began the process of resurrecting him. It was at this moment that Philomela arrived at her location.
Lizbeth had a plan to use a grimoire and Philomela's blood to bring a god to bring Adam back to life. However, when she actually summoned the dark figure, Lizbeth prevented Philomela from being sacrificed.
Shortly after, Chise and the rest of the group regained consciousness and arrived at Lizbeth's whereabouts. It was then that Philomela confessed her desire to continue living. Upon hearing this, Chise destroyed the circle used to summon the goddess and saved Philomela.

The next episode of The Ancient Magus' Bride season 2, "Of Two Evils Choose the Less," is expected to uncover Adam and Iris's history. Despite Lizbeth's desire to only revive Adam and not Iris, Adam did not share her sentiment. As a result, the upcoming episode may uncover a crucial revelation, leading to a potential conflict.
With Chise Hatori destroying the Goddess summoning circle, the impending clash is likely to involve a divine being. However, viewers may have to wait for the next episode to air to learn the true identity of this entity.
