With the help of the Anywhere Key, Gideon’s Echo was free to travel to anywhere in the world and thus could leave its prison, i.e., the wellhouse. But Gideon was not the kind of person whom one could tame, and so he threw Eden into the deep well after snatching away the two magical keys from her. Eden tried to command Gideon to open the portal for her, which had earlier been destroyed by the Locke family and their friends. At the end of “Locke & Key” Season 2, a demon who had possessed a teenager named Eden Hawkins summoned Gideon’s Echo with the help of the Echo Key. In Season 2, it was depicted that the portal to the other realm from where the magical keys came from, was opened for the first time in 1775, and it was Frederick Gideon who had found it, and thus he could be held responsible for bringing the demons of the other dimension to the human world. “Locke & Key” Season 3 is the finale season in the franchise, and thus, to give appropriate closure to the characters and the storyline, the creators have portrayed Captain Frederick Gideon, the root of all evils, as the main antagonist of Season 3.
