The Secret Circle

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.

Hi, I'm Diana.

You seen her yet? She got in yesterday.

We're different. You're different.

You're a witch. You're a full-blooded, 100% witch.

You're here. We have real power now.

A complete circle is 6.

You complete the circle.

She's got the gift.

You can get Cassie to do what we need?

Circle will take care of that without even knowing it.

Has Diana gotten to you about binding the circle?

Our energies are flying everywhere, all at once,

with no rhyme or reason.

We need to bind the circle.

Back off, Faye.

No. You go away. Aah!

Faye, what did you do?

If we can't control what we feel or what we think,

we're just gonna keep hurting people.

We have to bind the circle.

Lock, unlock.

Lock, unlock.

What happened to my magic?

Could you be any louder?

I can't open my locker.

Did you try the combination?

Novel idea, Diana. Why can't I do any spells?

You can.

I think that now that we've bound the circle,

we can only do collective magic.

Oh, you think?

I never would have bound the freakin' circle

if it meant losing my power.

You didn't lose your power!

According to the book, you just have to have another member

of the circle present.

The more you have, the greater your power.

This sucks.

Have you forgotten that you almost killed Sally?

Instead of complaining, you should be thankful

that things are under control.

And you better hope she doesn't remember.

Hey, Cassie. I left you a message.

Uh, yeah, sorry. I've been busy.

Is everything all right?

I was thinking we could hang out tonight.

Maybe we could talk about what's been going on.

Thanks, but I can't.

What's wrong, Cassie? Did I do something?

I did your binding ritual to get our powers under control

so no one else would get hurt.

That doesn't mean we all need to be friends.

I know. But we can be.

Or at least you and I can.

I don't like the secrets.

And I don't like lying to Sally

about what really happened.

This whole thing-- it's--it's too weird!

I know. Which why I think we should stick together.

I'm sorry, Diana.

It's the way it has to be.

I like this... Skipping school.

Me, too.

Hey, um... I have this idea.

It's gonna sound kind of crazy.

But there's this stupid dance tomorrow.

And I was thinking we should go.

You and me.

You wanna shower first? Or do you want me to go?

That's all you got to say?

I just asked you out.

You said we were just sex, Melissa.

You didn't want anyone to know about us.

I didn't want people to think I was slutty.

Then why do you want to go to the dance together?

Because I'm feeling kind of slutty.

What if Faye finds out?

Maybe I'm ok with it now.

It's just a school dance.

I don't do dances.

I just thought it would be nice to do something

that doesn't involve sex.

We're not dating, Melissa.

If that's where this is going, we're done.

You're dick!

I know your secret.

What?

You haven't signed up for any extracurriculars.

Oh. Right. I forgot.

So I was hoping you could help me with the dance.

My streamer hanging arm has seen better days.

Yes, sure. Whatever I can do.

I'm just-- I'm glad you're ok.

Last night was crazy, huh?

The doctor said I was really lucky.

I never actually saw what happened.

Me neither. It was all a blur.

But I keep getting these flashes of Faye.

Like she did it.

Faye?! How? That's impossible.

I know it sounds crazy.

But I have this distinct memory of her giving me her bitch stare

and then me waking up on the rocks.

Wow. She gives me that stare every day.

Maybe I should start wearing a helmet to school.

I know. It's ridiculous, right?

I refuse to let that girl get inside my head.

Forget I said anything.

Hey, Adam.

Hey.

So tell me about this new Cassie girl.

What about her?

I've seen you talking to her.

Is she friends with Diana?

What do you want, Luke?

An introduction.

No, I don't think so.

She's going through a hard time right now, all right?

Yeah, I know the story.

Her mom's died. Lives with her grandmother.

She's bummin'. Maybe she could use someone to talk to.

Have a good time.

Sure. Yeah, I guess.

Yes!

Things go smoothly?

Henry's body is at the lake house.

It won't be found until it needs to be.

Thank you, Charles.

Henry brought this on himself, Dawn.

You had no choice.

Doesn't make it any easier.

He was Faye's grandfather.

Well, I searched Henry's house.

There was no sign of a crystal.

I watched the whole thing.

The circle is bound.

We have to move fast, Charles.

Before someone else catches on to us.

There are still people in this town who remember...

Hey, honey.

What are you doing here, Dad?

Some budget wrangling.

You know I handle all the school's legal work.

Do you need a ride home?

No, I'm good.

Ok. I'll see you at home.

He's so cute.

But taken.

No, the other cute one. I know Adam's taken.

- Hey. - Hey.

Glad to see you're up and around.

Thanks Adam.

Uh, Cassie, I want you to meet a friend of mine.

This is Luke.

Hi, Cassie. Nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

If you ever need someone to show you around

or you just wanna hang out,

I'm available.

I'll see you guys, later.

Heh.

Yeah, me too. I'll see you later.

You know, there's a dance tomorrow night?

Yeah, I'm helping Sally with it.

Decorating committee.

So, you're going. With anyone?

Sally.

Right. Obviously.

But, you know, with her sling,

it's probably gonna be hard for her to dance.

So I could fill in for her.

If you want.

Uh, that's my awkward way of asking you to the dance.

Well, I appreciate you asking.

Mm-hmm.

But I have never decorated a school dance before,

much less attended.

Rain check?

Yeah, sure.

There you go.

The projector is being set up in the afternoon.

And most of the lights are already up.

We have to go over music with the DJ.

We also need 4 circular tables from the cafeteria

and then all the stackable chairs we can get.

So Luke asked you to the dance.

Sort of. I guess.

But you turned him down.

Kind of.

Because you can't stop staring at Adam?

What? No. Not at all.

Adam is dating...Diana.

And yet for some reason he can't stop staring at you either.
