It's you. You're the Shadow Demon?

Welcome to the Sisters of the Arcana.

You were gonna kill me?

Tartarus.

A hellish prison.

Little brother, you will pay for this.

It's where the bad guys send their bad guys.

Parker, stop. The Portal to Tartarus!

Oh, my God.

Stay back! I'm gonna kill her!

Hey.

You bloody thief.

You've robbed your last bank.

Aah!

That's how we break you in Tartarus.

We torture you with the memories

that you most wish to forget.

You're gonna have to do better than a memory

that's entirely fake.

The more you resist,

the harder you'll fall.

The Book of Shadows was useless.

We've been through every arcane and mystic text.

Hunter basically dragged Harry down

into the Alcatraz of the underworld.

So, like Hell-catraz?

- Not funny, Macy. - Sorry.

I don't deal well with stress. What did the Elders say?

That it is unfortunate that you destroyed

Marisol's piece of the Scythe of Tartarus.

The fact is,

that scythe is the only known method

to extract someone from Tartarus.

The Elders don't have any other ideas

- how to help Harry, and... - And what?

And they are not particularly interested

in pursuing the matter further.

Not for a Whitelighter.

So they're just going to leave Harry in Hell-catraz?

It was Harry's choice to become a Whitelighter;

he was well aware of the risks.

Remind me again how the Elders are the good guys?

You're okay with just giving up and letting Harry rot?

I am not giving up, I just...

Have no idea what to do.

But I will keep thinking, obviously.

In the meantime, we need you two to stay on mission.

That means you, Mel, get back to the Sarcana

and find out who is murdering Elders.

Got it.

Thank you.

For you, Macy,

that means figuring out what is going on at the lab.

As painful as the discovery that Parker is a demon was

for your sister, it does reveal what's clearly

a larger demonic plot

connected to Morningstar Biotech.

Already on it.

Check this out.

It's a family operation.

Dr. Julia Wagner and Alistair Caine were married.

She's Parker's mom.

They're divorced now.

But still in business together.

Wonder if he pays her Hell-imony.

What? It's only okay when you do it?

He looks familiar.

Huh.

Nice work, Macy.

Anything else I should know about?

Nope. Not that I can think of.

Okay.

- What was that all about? - It was Galvin.

- So what did he say? - That he's back and he's ready to talk.

I'm hoping that's not cover for burning me at the stake.

Uh, we should continue to not let Charity know

he found out we're witches, and that he's walking around

with an un-wiped memory,

thanks to our Whitelighter being in Hell-catraz and all.

Yeah. I'm starting to think that we should make a habit of that.

Keeping things from Charity.

I'm gonna go see the Sarcana.

But not because I think they killed Mom.

They broke somebody out of Tartarus.

They might be our only chance to save Harry.

I'm heading out.

Will you be all right?

It's been a week. I think I'm all cried out.

No, there's more.

This is all my fault.

Harry's in Hell-catraz because my freaking powers

couldn't figure out my boyfriend was a demon.

The holidays are a fun time for everyone.

Sorry.

I thought you might be ready for a little black humor.

How am I supposed to trust my powers again?

How am I supposed to trust anyone?

I don't want to feel like this anymore.

I don't want to feel anything.

I know. But you have to.

You can't push your feelings away.

Trust me, only when I let myself grieve Niko,

I could finally let her go.

It's just so hard.

I know.

But you have to give yourself a break.

Just a little break.

We who struggle, break and bend,

make us never hurt again.

So let me get this straight.

You're a witch, and your sisters are witches,

but not just any witches. You're special.

And you sent someone to Hell-jail?

And Harry, who's your "white person," went with him?

Whitelighter.

Although both are technically correct.

Yes.

I can't believe you're taking this so well.

You're not freaked out, like, a little bit?

Well, I mean, the thing is, when I was growing up,

my granmè was always talking about her religion.

Yoruba this, Yoruba that. Witches and demons.

And she even said that she did a special spell on me

when I was a baby to protect me from evil.

She did. You had a protection mark.

What?

I saw it on your side when you started dating Summer.

Remember? It's a long story.

I was worried it was demonic, but it's gone now.

The shape-shifter who was pretending to be me at Christmas

got rid of it 'cause it was stopping him

from entering the house.

Sure. Casual.

I always thought my granmè was just superstitious,

but now that I look back on it, there was a few things

that happened I couldn't explain.

Speaking of which...

... can you do it again?

Yo, that is wild.

No cap.

Okay, okay. Sorry.

I c... I can, I can handle this.

- I can handle this. - Really?

- Mm-hmm. - 'Cause there is one more thing.

We are working for a demon.

Aw, sweetheart.

You're getting worse.

I wish you had gotten that amulet.

I stand by my decision, Mom.

I'd rather die a half-human than live as a demon.

I understand.

I just don't know if I can save you without it.

Aw.

Look what we have here.

A touching mother-son moment.

- How revolting. - What are you doing here, Alistair?

Have you heard from your brother?

He stole the amulet and took off.

He's not looking to be found.

A detail that still makes no sense,

no matter how many times you say it.

Alistair, leave him alone.

He's not well, and we had an agreement.

You can't just show up here. The laboratory's my domain.

I don't remember you complaining

when I handed you this plum job.

You really should be thanking me.

I want you

to thank me.

Thank...

Our settlement has very strict prohibitions

against you mesmerizing me.

I'm gonna find Hunter.

We will see if he has a different tale to tell.

Shifa' on haza-aljesmo wa ruho.

This is what happens to people in Tartarus?

They torture you down there, destroy your hope.

And you end up like this.

And she's a witch?

A very important one, known as the Keeper

of the Sacred Flame.

Just like your Whitelighter, she didn't belong in Tartarus.

It's the worst of the worst.

It's Hellflame, to power the incubator.

But we don't have enough to make her better.

I'm sorry the Elders are so heartless

about saving your Whitelighter.

Not that I'm surprised.

They always have been cold and out of touch.

And in power for far too long.

But all that's gonna change.

What do you mean?

Soon as we get more Hellflame, you'll see.

Shifa' on haza...

I'm gonna help you get your boy back.

A demon named Dante guards

the nearest gateway to Tartarus.

I can show you where to find him,

but you'll want to act soon.
