Previously on The Secret Circle...
My sweet Cassie, you finding this means I'm gone,
and for that I am so sorry.
I didn't want you to have this life,
but destiny's not easy to run from.
You're a witch. You're a full-blooded 100% witch.
A complete circle is six.
You complete the circle.
She's got the gift.
You can get Cassie to do what we need?
The circle will take care of that without even knowing it.
Henry's body just turned up dead.
Your mistake forced us to silence Jane.
If you think the rest of the elders
aren't paying attention to this town right now,
you're full of it. That's my father.
- John Blackwell? - Yeah.
Cassie's dark magic comes from Balcoin.
The name was changed to Blackwell.
Why are you showing me this?
Your father's lineage is from strong dark magic.
That's why you have the power you do.
We're taking Cassie with us.
Cassie's in trouble. You have to help me save her.
Then I'll leave forever.
Get out of here!
Hello?
Jake, what are you--
what the hell are you doing here?
Your front door was opened.
You should be more careful.
You left with witch hunters.
Whose side are you on?
Yours.
They weren't very happy with me
after I helped you get away.
So what?
You just expect me to... to welcome you back?
No.
I have to talk to you
about dark magic.
Yeah, I keep remembering...
What you said
about how I can control it.
You can't control it.
That's what I came to tell you.
You said I could.
You said that I was a good person and could deal with it.
No.
Evil is evil.
I wanted to help.
The truth is, no one can.
You think I'm evil?
You don't me to tell you, you know.
You have evil blood.
Balcoin blood.
The devil's blood.
Aah!

You don't look sick.
Feeling better.
Um...
I appreciate the calls and texts.
But not enough for more than one-word answers.
Sorry.
It's been two days.
We were all just worried.
I was worried.
I just, I needed some time.
Witch hunters, Jake, you.
I was dying.
Is there anything else?
Isn't that enough?
On the boat that night,
you knew the witch hunter wasn't gonna hurt me
because you knew he was afraid of you.
Why?
I've never heard the name.
Jake said Francis Balcoin was as evil as they come,
that he passed dark power from generation to generation.
To my father, to me.
Jake. That's where we're getting the truth now?
Come on, is evil power even something you can pass down?
What, is it like eye color?
It would explain how I can do magic outside the circle.
Well, it's one explanation.
Maybe another is that your mom's side
passed down good power for 400 years.
I like the optimism.
Both my parents are witches,
it's possible I take after the good side.
What did your grandmother say?
Kind of what you just said.
That I'm just like my mom, so not to worry.
Maybe you should listen to her.
I don't know. She hasn't been herself lately.
She went away to a healer's for a couple of days.
She'll be Ok.
She's a tough lady.
Yeah, she is.
Hey, maybe Diana's book will have something.
There was a lot about black magic and demons.
I...I don't want to tell people.
Not yet. I just, I don't know how they'll take it.
Give them a chance.
Can we just keep this between you and me
until I figure it out?
Please.
It's important to me.
Of course.
Grandma Kate.
Oh, my darling, Diana.
Come in.
Are you staying?
Well, just for a couple of nights.
If you'll have me.
Of course.
Do you think your father will mind?
You know, he's been so busy lately,
my maternal instincts are on high alert.
He's fine. In fact, he's dating.
Who's the lucky girl?
Dawn Chamberlain.
Really?
Well, it's High School all over again.
He has always had a crush on her.
A crush?
On who?
Mrs. Chamberlain.
I was just telling grandma
that you two are Chance Harbor's new power couple.
Wow. It's an honor just to be nominated.
Especially by such an authority on power couples.
I'm gonna go get ready for school.
I'm so happy you're here.
Me, too.
Diana and Adam broke up.
They did?
She emailed me last week.
That's partly why I'm here.
I want to make sure she's all right.
Girls don't tell their fathers these things, Charles.
Well, I'm glad she can tell you.
Boo.
Don't, Faye, I'm not in the mood.
Ok, enough. Seriously.
Enough what?
This whole moody mopey thing.
I'm over it.
Your sensitivity to yourself is touching.
Look, staying sad all the time
isn't going to make Nick's death any less real,
it's just gonna make your life worse.
Acting normal makes me feel like I'm being disrespectful to his memory.
If he could hear you right now,
like as a ghost or something,
he is for sure laughing at how sappy you sound.
And boring.
Imagine being a ghost and watching you be sad all the time.
Thanks. Good pep talk.
You need a boost. I need a boost.
Still not making me feel better.
No, but I know what would.
Getting our own magic back again.
I want to be a real witch
instead of this spell by committee thing.
Dream on, Faye.
It's not a dream.
And I think I know how.
Yes?
Oh, dear God.
Ok, give me a minute.
Hello, Dawn.
Good to see you.
Kate. What a nice surprise.
Charles told me you were in town.
To what do I owe the pleasure?
I know you must be upset about Henry's death.
I wanted to make sure you were all right.
That's very thoughtful of you, Kate.
Oh, it hasn't been easy,
but Faye and I are getting along.
Something's going on in Chance Harbor.
First Henry dies, now Jane has neurological issues.
I don't know what you mean.
What are you up to, Dawn?
Excuse me.
Why are you involved with Charles?
I like him.
Nonsense.
All those years growing up
you never even gave him the time of day.
Are you really gonna hold a grudge
for something I did in High School?
On the contrary. I'm grateful you turned him down.
You had a habit of using people
and then tossing them aside.
I won't let you do that to my son.
I have a meeting.
I'm gonna have to ask you to please leave.
I'm going to find out what you're up, Dawn.
Whatever it takes.
A little light reading?
What was that? Nothing.
Looking up dark magic doesn't seem as weird
as you acting guilty about it.
I was just curious.
I don't want it to turn into a big thing.
Adam, being broken up doesn't mean I stop knowing you.
What's going on?
It's not for me.
Really? You're exploring dark magic for a friend?
For Cassie?
I told her I wouldn't say anything.
Does this have to do with her individual power?
It comes from dark magic?
How is that possible?
Her father's bloodline passed down through the generations.
I trusted you.
Cassie.
I'm sorry.
I was trying to--
Diana saw my computer and I couldn't lie.
I asked you to keep one thing.
We can all figure this out together.
Don't!
Adam. Adam! No! No, no, no!
I didn't mean it!
Adam, no! I didn't mean it.
I didn't...
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You did that to me.
I don't know what happened.
You got upset.
And my throat started closing up.
Like what happened with Luke.
You did that, too.
Mm-mmm. Totally different.
Luke went up in flames.
What's wrong with you?
I don't know.
It's always the short quiet ones you have to watch out for.
Shut up, Faye.
Cassie, hold on.
I'm sorry.
I saw you guys talking about my dark magic problem.
I didn't tell Diana.
She saw what I was looking at on my computer
and guessed.
Then I am sorry again,
for almost killing you and not trusting you.
I'm not looking for more apologies.
I'm just trying to understand.
Join the club.
You sounded upset on the phone. What's wrong?
Your mother. She came to see me.
About what?
She said she was gonna get to the bottom of what happened
and that she wouldn't stop until she figured out
what I was up to.
Nobody knows anything.
Ethan does.
You almost drowned him.
Which is why he's too scared to talk.
He wasn't too scared to tell Henry
that you were practicing magic.
And if he tells Kate,
then she will know that you have a crystal,
and our plan is over.
We've got to get rid of her.
Well, I can't just kick her out of town. She just got here.
I'm not talking about kicking her out of town.
Dawn, we are not killing anyone else,
certainly not my mother.
Killing Henry caused enough trouble.
What do you want to do, just kill all the elders?
Look, I know how it sounds,
but the elders stripped us of our powers.
They diminished us to nothing.
They are the ones standing in our way of moving forward.
Calm down.
There are other options.
Like what?
Spelling the elders into not asking questions?
That worked so well with Jane.
I'll figure out a way to deal with my mother.
Look, if she keeps asking questions--
I'll handle it.
For now, just stay out of her way.
Did you rip this page out of Cassie's Book of Shadows?
What are you doing?
Nothing. It's stupid.
An attraction spell.
Who are you trying to attract?
Not attract, exactly.
Just...Bring back to town.
Jake?
No. No way.
You remember he's a witch hunter, right?
Yes, but he also risked his life to save mine.
And Adam's.
And he's the only one of us
who seems to understand dark magic.
What happened today was an accident.
That's not who you are.
How do you know?
I just do.
Come stay at my house until your grandmother's back in town.
She's only gone for like a day or so.
Well, until she's back,
you're not staying alone.
Did you rip this page out of Cassie's Book of Shadows?
There are a million pages in there.
She'll never know.
The point is, whoever wrote down this spell
was practicing a different kind of magic than ours.
Maybe the kind that doesn't need
5 other people to hold hands with.
Well, I've never heard of any of these ingredients.
It's out of our realm of witchcraft.
Most of them are used in ancient voodoo practices.
And how are we supposed to find them?
I looked up voodoo Botanica
within a 50-mile radius of Chance Harbor
and this is the only thing that popped up.
"Lee LaBeque.
Love spells, hexing spells, oils, herbs, snake handling."
This is ridiculous. I'm desperate.
If anyone is supposed to have any power here, it's me.
And if I'm not born with it,
there has to be another way.
Are you sure this is Ok?
Absolutely.
My grandmother will be thrilled to meet you.
Meet who?
Grandma Kate, this is my friend Cassie Blake.
Hi. Amelia's daughter?
Yes. Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Your mother was a wonderful and independent girl.
Sounds a lot like Cassie.
I'd like to think so.
Hey, Cassie. Welcome.
Why don't you go in and sit down.
My mother has made dinner and it looks amazing.
Sounds great. Thank you.
You expecting anyone?
No.
Dawn. Hi, honey.
Mmm. I thought I'd join you all for dinner
if that's all right.
Brought a bottle of Pinot from France.
I remember you saying that was your mother's favorite.
How kind of you, Dawn.
This is an excellent meal,
as always, mother.
Seriously, it's amazing.
You need to teach me how to cook this, grandma.
All right, I will.
How's your grandmother, Cassie?
I talked to her tonight. She, uh, she sounded better.
I'm hoping that she's just overworked and tired.
I think losing Henry Chamberlain affected us all.
I don't really think we need to get into that
at the dinner table.
Well, they're not children anymore, Charles.
Dawn? What?
Don't you want wine, Kate?
I'd love some. Thank you.
To Henry.
A very good friend.
To Henry.
Charles, what are you doing?
I just thought I saw some cork in the bottle.
I don't want you to choke.
I didn't see anything.
Trust me.
I feel terrible about the cork.
I apologize. We'll fix that.
Excuse me.
What is wrong with you?
You think I'm trying to poison your mother?
Based on the fact that a few hours ago
you suggested killing her, yes.
I'm here to keep an eye on her
and to make sure she realizes I'm not easily intimidated.
You just wasted a very nice bottle of wine.
I can handle my mother.
Can you?
It doesn't exactly scream House of voodoo, does it?
You sure this is it?
32 MacMillan drive.
Come on, it's obviously an online scam.
Let's just leave.
Can I help you?
Uh...We emailed.
About a consultation.
Follow me.
I only deal in cash.
And I only deal with professionals,
not kids who operate out of their parents' garage.
We need help with the spell.
Want to set the mean girls
who steal your boyfriends on fire?
No, smartass.
We are the mean girls.
This is an ancient voodoo power spell
used by priests to expand their capabilities.
Where'd you get this?
A friend.
This is a dangerous spell.
Are you sure you want to do it?
Are you sure you can?
Your grandmother's really sweet.
Makes me miss mine.
Oh, she'll be back soon, I'm sure.
Yeah.
It's Adam.
Two rocks is code for "can I come up?"
Complicated stuff.
He's been doing it since the sixth grade.
I forgot how happy that sounds makes me.
Hi.
I think he's here to see
if I accidentally hurt you with my mind.
No. Um...
I actually came to apologize.
For what?
Well, I came to apologize to Cassie.
Oh. Ok.
Um, should I leave my room?
No, of course not.
You don't need to apologize.
Yeah, I do.
I'm sorry for saying anything to Diana.
Me being used to sharing things with her
shouldn't have taken priority over your trust.
But I do think it's for the best that everyone knows,
and I'm sure whatever's going on with you
is not that big of a deal.
And any of us making you feel bad
for being different,
that's just... Ridiculous.
That's it. So, good night.
The spell's meant to release your untapped power.
It'll open the channel from your heart to your head
so they can function as one.
Close your eyes.
Hey.
Open your eyes.
It's done.
Give it till tomorrow.
Concentrate on something you really want to have happen
and it will.
Yeah, we'll do that.
Might try something warm.
Help you sleep.
You're troubled.
You have dark magic, Cassie Blake.
You can sense that?
Of course.
Your magic scares you.
People keep telling me it's dark,
but I don't even know what that means.
You have darkness in your blood.
I'd hoped that you'd followed your mother's lineage,
but you are also your father's child.
What do you know about him?
I know that he had the same dark magic
and the same potential for evil.
The people who knew your father
said that bit by bit the darkness took him over.
He allowed it to.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
Can I stop it?
We can draw it out of you.
We can rid you of its power before it takes hold of you.
How?
There's a spell.
Ok. Please.
You have to do it. I don't want to hurt anyone again.
I'll do anything.
We can't just go around outing ourselves to people,
especially the elders. It's dangerous.
I didn't.
She knew. She sensed it.
Does she know about me?
I don't think so.
Believe me, I wish she didn't know about anything.
It's creepy that she could practically smell it on me.
Um.
I'm sorry.
I can't imagine what you're going through.
She said she has to do the ceremony
in a special part of the forest near Harbor Woods.
Do you know it? Yes.
I wish I could come with you.
I just, I don't know what to do.
My grandmother is the most amazing woman I've ever known.
And if she says she can help you, I believe it.
You can trust her.
Where you headed?
Oh, I'm just going out.
With Nancy Collier.
I left you two something to eat.
Don't stand so close.
I want to make sure I'm the only one doing the spell.
Fine.
Don't even look,
just to be safe.
Shatter.
What's happening? Nothing yet.
Shatter.
Shatter!
Come on.
I'm an idiot.
It happens. You know, forget it.
I'm not just gonna forget it.
Come on, let's go show this guy what real magic looks like.
That sounds like a really bad idea.
Melissa, here's what you have to understand.
Some things can be really bad
and really good at the same time.
Let's go. Come on.
Look, Faye, I really appreciate you kicking my ass
back into the real world.
I needed it. You were right.
But the truth is, I'm not just gonna follow you around anymore.
I make my own decisions and I don't want to go.
No need for big drama.
I'll just let you know how it all turns out.
This is it?
Yes. It's back there.
Sure you're ready for this?
Yeah, I am.
This is the right thing to do.
Grandma?
Oh, my God.
You've been busy.
The sooner we confront your dark magic,
the safer you and the people around you will be.
We stand on either side of the altar.
What does this symbol mean?
The quartered circle represents mother earth.
We call on her to purge you of your darkness.
Are you sure this is even gonna work?
I know it's the best chance you have.
My role is to bring the elements together.
It's you who will determine the spell's success.
How?
Faith in who you are.
And who you want to be.
Ok.
Good.
I need you to stare into the middle of the circle.
I call on you, mother earth,
element of the physical,
may you purge her clean.
Give me your hand.
Now press your hand against the center of the circle.
Open the box.
Hand me the branch.
What is this?
Elderberry.
It's also known as the death tree.
Death tree?
We need it to finish the spell.
Adam, I think Cassie's in trouble.
What? What happened?
My grandmother sensed her dark magic.
She told Cassie they could do a ritual
to get rid of it, but she's lying.
I found this in her bag.
Mandrake root.
A plant that can kill witches.
This is what the witch hunters put in those bottles.
We need to find Cassie.
What's going on?
I think you're right about my mother.
She claims to be having dinner with someone
I know is out of town.
I called the husband, the wife was still away.
Do you know where she is right now?
No.
But I'm going to talk to her when she gets back.
Talk to her?
I think we're way passed that, Charles.
Give me the crystal. I'll deal with it.
No.
Charles. I said no.
Give me the damn crystal.
Or what?
We're done at the moment.
Wait a minute.
Charles, you're upset.
We'll talk this out,
come up with a new plan if you want.
We're finished here.
What are you doing?
For darkness to be destroyed,
the earth must bleed it from you.
You have to die.
No. No, no.
What are you doing?
Help! Please!
Aah!
Get me out of here!
Die in the ground
to let your evil magic die with you.
No, no.
- No, no! - No, no!
No!
Get me out of here!
Please! Aah! Get me out!
Jerk!
Cassie!
The creek's further in, but it goes on for miles.
They could be anywhere along it.
Please help!
Please, somebody!
Come on! Help!
Let...Me...Out!
Cassie!
Are you all right?
I don't know.
Oh, Charles.
You startled me.
Nancy Collier is in New England.
Where were you tonight?
You don't need to know.
What have you done, mother?
I tried to kill Cassie Blake.
You're not serious.
I am.
But her magic was more powerful than mine
and she survived.
It was quite something.
She's a child.
She's John Blackwell's daughter.
I had to find out how powerful her magic was.
You were testing her?
Bringing her to the brink of death
was the only way I could be sure.
She is the one we've been waiting for--
strong enough to tip the balance between good and evil.
That's barbaric.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Well, the elders will need to hear about this,
and they will. No, they won't.
I know that you're involved in Henry Chamberlain's death
and Jane's demise.
Everyone's magic leaves its own unique imprint on it
and I know yours.
I have ever since you started practicing.
How could I have been using magic,
you stripped us of our power.
Don't insult me. I'm not stupid.
Be careful, Charles.
You have a good heart,
but you're weak.
You give in to temptation, you always have.
I make my own decisions.
Come out of the darkness.
Otherwise you'll be lost to me,
to Diana,
to yourself.
Aah! Liar!
Uhh!
Hey.
You've got some anger issues, huh?
Douchebag issues, but I'm feeling much better now.
Thanks.
I know what you are.
You're a fortune teller now, too.
You're a witch.
Obviously I'm not the voodoo priest I claim to be.
Yeah, I noticed.
But my grandparents were.
And I've been around enough magic to know it's real.
But you're obviously having trouble accessing your power
or you wouldn't have come to me.
I can help you with that.
Really? For how much?
I think we can arrange something
that will benefit the both of us.
I told you you could trust my grandmother.
I'm so sorry.
You don't have to apologize.
I believed her, too.
I never thought I'd say this,
but I'm glad she's gone.
I hope forever.
What did it feel like?
It was horrible.
I thought for sure I was gonna die.
I can't imagine.
I've never felt fear like that before.
The panic.
It just, it...
It flooded through my entire body.
Then...Erupted.
The scary part is...
I liked it.
Liked what?
The feeling of power.
Destroying the box that was sucking the life out of me,
blowing away the earth.
It was smothering me and letting my fear save me.
I know that it isn't right,
but it felt really good.
And I guess...
If I didn't have this,
I'd be dead right now.
Just how powerful are you?
