- Jordan.
- She's at the warehouse.
- I'll be back.
[crackling]
[theme music]
- I have never stood against a force like this creature.
We must move before she unleashes more.
- Oya, we're not ready.
They aren't ready.
- Readiness is irrelevant now.
We are the last line of defense, Claudette.
It will be us or the Chromovok.
- I know.
But we have to be prepared.
Or do you want me to lead them into a slaughter?
- No.
All our work would be wasted.
Understand that no matter the cost,
I will not let this creature win.
- Neither will I.
- I'll be ready at the warehouse when you arrive.
- Be careful.
I love you.
- Love you, too.
- Did you get it?
Was she still there?
- No.
I don't think she knew what she was leaving behind,
or she would have burned it.
Everybody okay?
- Just tired.
Barely remember what sleep is.
- I'm sorry.
- No, it's fine.
- Yeah.
Wait, is that it?
Wait, it was there?
- These are all the pieces.
- See what you can make of it.
- I'll help you.
- How's everything here?
- It's coming along.
We need to get ready fast.
This thing is completely powered up.
That portal will open soon.
- Yeah.
- So it's not a weapon?
- Technically, no.
But it can open up a hell dimension
if you're not careful, so--
- Dangerous.
Got it.
- Yeah.
[sighs]
You know you don't have to be here, Javi.
We have a goddess, and you can go
home until everything is over.
And I--
- Jordan, why are we even talking about this?
Even you should know I would never do that.
I'm right where I need to be.
Let's try to piece this thing together.
Figure out how to work this relic.
- Okay.
Yeah.
- I, uh, don't know where to start.
- What are you two doing?
- Making bombs.
- I'm sorry, you're making what?
- Yeah.
I got the idea from Tao, turning my potions
into small magical bombs.
Don't worry, they're not going to hurt us.
But hopefully, this will be enough to weaken Amaya.
Right.
Okay.
Will you put the wicks in the bulbs?
- Yeah, I got you.
- Perfect.
- Are you sure these are going to be safe for us?
- Yes.
They have to ignite to work.
Just don't be standing next to Amaya when they go flying.
Because--
- Mona, you really think this is going to work?
- I hope so.
This is the only way we can reach the masses.
Here we go.
- "My name is Dr. John Murphy.
I am thrilled to share our groundbreaking discovery in
the fight against fear fever.
After some experimentation, we found that electroshock therapy
to the brain, such as use in psychiatric treatment,
effectively cures the fear fever."
Dang, girl.
You faked a whole scientific article.
- And that's why it took so long.
I am not a scientist.
Okay.
Now, to make this go viral.
[notification pops]
- Fuck.
You got that shit spreading like herpes.
- Okay, so turn the top part
to the left two clicks.
[device clicking]
- Okay.
- Now twist the right side.
- Your right or my right?
- Mine.
Yeah.
- You sure?
- Yeah, look.
- Okay.
All right.
- Okay.
And we turn the bottom to the left one click.
[device clicks]
Yeah.
- That's it?
- Yeah.
And then we reverse it back to cube shape.
Now we say the incantation, and it'll activate.
- Wow.
- Yeah.
- Good job.
And now remember that.
- Hey, guys.
Any luck?
- Yeah, so here are the details of the Chromovok, the history.
- Spiders!
- No, no!
- This one is a seal that the original protectors
use to trap her.
And according to this, it creates
an interdimensional prison.
- What does that mean?
- Well, it's like a pocket dimension.
It creates a chamber outside our space and time.
The seal is the lock, and the relic is the key.
But this is how they kept her locked up.
- That won't work.
- Why not?
- Because it took nine powerful witches to maintain
the seal at all times.
- Which means if we don't constantly
have a group of witches tied to her power, keeping her in,
she could get out.
- And she's stronger now.
She has killed way more people than a village worth.
- Even if we had nine people who wanted to protect the seal,
that may not be enough.
- Look, we need another solution.
It is 4:30 in the morning.
We move in two hours.
- We're not done yet.
I mean, this really does more than just activate a seal.
- And the answer is here.
Look, Tao said they could send her back, which means we can.
Look, we just have to find the right combination.
- Okay.
Then Jordan, what's taking so long?
- I mean, this relic is complex.
Every action has its own combination and spell.
- Yeah.
And one combo would open the door,
but a whole different one to shut it,
and an incantation of swanna.
Wait, do you guys know swanna?
- Because I don't.
- Okay, all right.
All right, Jordan, we get it, yeah.
- Just make sure everyone else does their part.
And hopefully, we all just don't die.
[sighs]
- Jordan, what is it?
What is it?
Jordan!
- You guys, I found something.
The Chromovok has a weakness.
It says that it's incredibly sensitive to silver.
- Oh, shit.
For real?
Let me see.
- Silver.
I think there's something you can do about that.
- I know exactly what you're thinking.
- Wait, Mami?
Why the hell's she calling me.
Hang on a second.
Mami?
Que paso?
[sobs]
[giggles]
- Can you make more?
- I can make as many as we need.
- Yeah, all right.
- This will help.
Stay focused and keep working.
- I can feel it.
I can feel it.
Right.
- My brother is dead.
My mami just called me, and it happened so fast.
She said it was the fear fever and he went before she
could even find him.
He could have called me.
He could have called me!
- You remind me a lot of myself, Sherise.
- Well, if you're speaking as Oya,
I'll take being a goddess as a compliment.
- See that right there?
No, speaking as myself, actually.
And it's still very much a compliment.
You're tough.
Strong, stubborn.
That's how I know what you're feeling right now.
- Oh, really?
Please, enlighten me.
- How about grief?
Pain and hate.
I hate that I can't be with my daughter right now.
And I hated Tabitha and Caden for taking her from me.
Just like you hate Anthony for what he took from you.
And you should.
You really should.
Sherise, don't let all of that pain
swallow you like it did me.
- How?
I keep hurting everybody I love.
I keep getting people killed.
Tabitha.
- No, I killed Tabitha.
You got to let that go.
Believe me.
I was going to take her out whether you were there or not.
- But I still got Faith killed.
And Darius.
I--
I'm just a fucking liability.
- Do you know why I let Oya move from Angela into me?
- Let me guess.
Power?
- Yeah, that's what I thought.
At the time.
I thought, you know what, Oya, I would--
you know, I would finally have enough power
that no one,
and I mean no one, Sherise, could ever take for me.
What Julius took, what the council took,
what everybody took.
And that was just fear.
But through Oya and training you girls, I--
I now see something that I--
I was missing my whole life.
- What was that?
- This.
This.
This, Sherise.
This right here.
You know, there's power in unity.
So much more than I had alone.
They are stronger with you, Sherise.
Don't run from it.
You know, Oya and I didn't spend
all this time training you--
Sherise, I--
I didn't spend all this time training you,
something I wanted to do with my own daughter,
for you to walk away.
So you, damn it, you take--
you take all of that pain and that hurt,
that anger,
and you put it in this fight.
Do you hear me?
So that you can save the ones you love.
- Seriously?
Ange, I think this can wait.
- Sorry, I'm stress cleaning.
- Stop.
Come with me.
Come on.
Angela, I wanted to let you know something
before we go into this battle.
- Okay, what is it?
- You bring me so much joy
that I never even knew was possible.
You make me happier than I've ever been.
I brought you this as a symbol of my love.
I sealed it with protection in case anything happens to me.
- Oh my god.
It's beautiful.
Thank you.
And look, we are going to get through this.
Okay?
- But if I don't, Angela,
I need you to wear this.
And every time you wear it, know how much I love you.
You mean the world to me.
- And you mean everything to me.
I love you, too.
And like I said, we are getting through this, together.
- Where's Mona?
- She's talking to her family.
She'll meet us there.
- Are we sure we're all ready for this?
- Listen, today's fight is going to test our limits
in ways we can't imagine.
We are facing an evil like never before.
This is going to demand courage
and unwavering resolve.
This is going to be a tough fight.
And some of us may not survive.
But no matter the cost, no matter who gets hurt
or who goes down,
we must stand together and hold the line.
- This is it, guys.
Everyone knows their part.
Hold the Chromovok.
Weaken her.
And Oya and I will finish it.
- Let's do this.
- Everyone, this is Priyali and Keemo from the council.
They've agreed to help.
- And the others?
So much for leadership.
Everyone, get in position.
- We're good.
- Stay quiet.
Follow my lead.
[buzzing]
- You, come here.
[gasps]
[chanting]
- Are you ready for this?
- As ready as I'll ever be.
- Remember, you're all connected.
Draw on that.
[chanting]
- Kill her.
- Stay!
- Now!
[chanting]
[monstrous groan]
- Almost done.
- Oh god, it's working.
Go find more, okay?
- Dominic!
Here.
Be careful with that.
- She's too strong.
- The portal is opening!
- It's my turn.
- Javi?
Javi!
[gasps]
- She's getting stronger.
- I can't hold it much longer.
- Reach!
- Look, I can't close it without the relic.
- We're out.
- This is all we have left.
- I have an idea.
- I love you.
- Darletra, wait!
- [chanting]
- Oh, shit.
- Close it, Jordan.
- [chanting]
- Holy fuck.
- Shit.
- Hey.
- Caden!
[screams]
Can you help him?
- I think I can.
[yells]
- You're alive.
- I ain't going nowhere.
- You survived.
- Over 1,200 years
of corruption now vanquished.
Thank you for joining the fight.
- We'll let you handle your business.
- So what happens for you now, Oya?
- With the Chromovok now gone,
balance is returning.
It is time I return to where I belong
and leave this world to all of you.
You are all more than capable
of taking care of it,
as it should be.
- Wait.
Will this kill my sister like it could have killed Angela?
- Sis.
You should know me better than that.
She's gone.
- Is she really gone for real this time?
- Yes, it's me.
I swear.
- Let's get out of here, okay?
- Yeah, okay.
[groans]
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, are you-- are you okay?
- Yeah, I just still feel a little phantom pain.
But I'm healed.
- Yeah.
- [grunts]
What's wrong?
- Look, you almost died.
Like, I thought you were just going to, like,
hit right in front of me and just--
- Jordan.
Jordan.
Look, I know I hurt you.
And I know you're conflicted.
But I love you.
I love you, and I will never betray you again.
And I'll always protect you.
I just need you to give us a second chance
of a new beginning.
Let me show you who I am.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
[laughs]
- Nothing like some lovey dovey shit to end an apocalypse.
- All jokes aside, though, Mona, thanks for sticking
around and fighting with us.
We couldn't have done this without you.
- Yeah, you, too.
I mean, it was nice working with all of you.
But, you know,
I'm going to have to get up off this ride.
- What do you mean by that?
- Look, I love y'all.
I just-- like, I don't want this to be my everyday life,
you know?
Like, I want to live a regular life
and stay connected to my amazing friends.
But I'm here whenever you need me.
And that's magic or otherwise.
- Look, I get it.
And we all understand.
- I just-- I'm going to go to Columbus, you know, and spend
some time with my family.
My mom needs me.
So yeah.
Stay safe, guys.
- Be good, shorty.
[giggles]
- Thank you.
All right.
- I love you, Mama.
- I love you, too, Mia.
- We just killed a demon, y'all.
And really lived to tell the tale.
That's creepy.
- Well, I don't know about y'all witches, but I'm about
to sleep for a week.
- Seriously.
- Sherise.
Oh, Sherise.
- Whooped her ass. - I think we whooped her ass.
- Whooped her ass.
[laughs]
- So, little sis, what are we going to do about this council?
- I have a few ideas.
We have been through a crucible.
The fear fever is coming to an end.
And now we are free
of the Chromovok and her corruption.
The magic and the non-magic world
have collided in a way we could never have anticipated.
The world has changed.
It is now time for us to bring forth a new leadership rather
than the authoritarian rule.
The council has always been corrupt from the beginning,
leeching off evil sources.
If there is anything we can learn from this,
it is that the old system will not stand.
That is why I brought you all here.
I have a vision for our new leadership.
We can no longer rule by the strength of the few.
I propose that we replace
the High Council of Witches
and we become the Advisory Council of Magic.
As the Advisory Council, we will establish local chapters
around the world who will govern their own territories,
and to whom we must answer.
That way, we will always
be of service to those we lead
rather than iron fist rulers.
All in favor?
I have another proposition.
And this one is unprecedented.
As a council that is of service,
we are not only responsible for our community,
but how our community impacts the non-magic world.
As we've seen,
that impact can be devastating.
Right now, we are seven.
So I propose that for our last two members,
that we select two human delegates
without magic so we can work together
for the good of all.
- Caden, are you serious?
- We cannot let mundanes into our affairs.
That's outrageous.
- Is it?
- At the very least, it's dangerous.
- I hardly expected you to be on board.
- Two weeks ago, I wouldn't have.
But while looking down my nose at the mundanes--
that is to say, non-magic people--
it's been centuries of our council's
corruption and secrets that put everyone in danger.
The non-magic world suffered heavier losses than we did.
We can magically swear them to secrecy, but Caden is right.
We have a fairy and a djinn here to represent their people.
Non-magic delegates keep us true to our cause.
Service, not power.
- All in favor?
To a new beginning.
- The council has come to a decision.
- The council?
So there is still a council?
- Yes.
The council is being remade in a new vision.
It is no longer a select few who rules all.
- And it's very clear from the last attempt
at rebuilding that the old way does not work.
- Well, what's this new vision?
- The council is expanding.
We are establishing local councils around the world
to serve and govern their region,
with Claudette, Dominic, and I serving
what is now the Advisory Council of Magic.
- So who the hell going to run this area?
- You are.
- What?
- Wait, are you serious?
- Yeah.
You guys will operate out of Atlanta,
and you will be responsible for the Southern US region.
- Wow.
- We know that you will lead with honor and integrity.
- Man, the four of us will do great.
- Slow down.
This is a huge responsibility.
And it's dangerous.
- Yeah.
Shorty got a point.
Authority figures always attract trouble.
Ain't we had enough?
- We'll help you with that.
And we'll continue training together.
I want to make the four of you strong enough
that few would challenge you.
- Look, I know this is a big responsibility.
But y'all, this is our opportunity to help people.
And protect them.
- People like Javi's mom, Rachel.
- The slaves that were at Obsidian Dream.
- All right.
I'm in.
- Well, I guess I'm in, too.
This calls for a toast.
- Yes!
- To the future.
- To the future!
- Thank you.
- There's just one more thing to make it official.
- I pledge myself to the service,
care, and protection of both magic and non-magic alike.
As a member of the Southern United States Council of Magic,
I pledge to lead with honor, truth,
and dedication, and to be a guide for others
for the good of all.
From this day forward, until my will to honorably serve
shall end.
[claps]
- Ladies, congratulations.
- This manor is now your headquarters.
- Whoa.
You mean to tell me this entire place is ours?
- To be used in service, not for frivolity.
But yes, this is the council safe house of the region.
And now, you are the leaders.
[squeals]
[laughs]
- This is, like, our manor.
This is our manor!
We live like witches.

- I got to get some water, okay?
- I'll get it for you.
- Oh, no, you're fine.
Stay here. - You sure?
- Yeah.

Hello?
Javi?
Javi, is you there?
