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.

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?

The circle will take care of that without even knowing it.

And my mother did something to Heather that was worse than death.

She hasn't moved in 16 years.

She had to be the one to put the spell on Heather.

Wherever there are witches, evil follows.

They were trying to use your mother's power.

I tell you, she was trying to stop.

Demons!

We need to know what happened 16 years ago.

Wake up. We're late.

Are you dead? Hmm?

Oh.

Ohh. Oh, I have such a headache.

Mmm...

Ugh! Get off!

What the hell?

I said my head hurts.

I'm sorry. I just really don't feel well.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

Did you get any sleep last night?

A little.

I can't believe you witnessed that terrible accident.

Poor woman.

I know.

She was a friend of your mom's--

Heather Barnes. Did you know that?

No.

She'd been ill for a very long time.

Homebound.

I can't imagine what she was doing

in this neighborhood.

What were you doing last night?

Um, nothing, you know, just coming home.

Where from?

Uh, nowhere.

Just hanging out.

Oh, with Diana, Faye Chamberlain, those girls?

Yeah. Is that bad?

No. Not at all.

I'm glad you've made friends so quickly.

It makes sense, I guess,

that you'd find each other.

What do you mean?

Just that you have so much in common.

Your parents were all such close friends.

Well, it's a small town, I guess.

Your mother and her friends went through a lot together.

Ultimately, a lot of tragedy.

Um, I should get going.

School.

How about I make us a nice dinner tonight?

I'd love to catch up.

Sure.

There's nothing that you can't talk to me about.

You know that, right?

Mm-hmm.

Watch it!

I beg your pardon?

I'm so sorry, Mrs. Chamberlain.

I don't know what's gotten into me today.

I just feel really awful.

Ok, it's fine. Just, please, watch where you're going.

I will. I'm sorry.

Why can't I tell my grandmother?

Maybe she can help us.

What if she tells my dad or any of our parents? Then what?

I have no idea what. You tell me.

They've lied to us our whole lives.

They obviously don't want us to know anything.

If they find out we do, this might all be taken away.

Our magic? How?

One of the last entries in my book

talks about our parents' circle being punished for their actions,

having their powers stripped away.

By who?

The book refers to the Elders.

We think that means the generation before.

Like my grandmother.

So she still has her powers?

I think so. All the more reason

not to tell her we're practicing it.

I hate lying. I'm supposed to have dinner with her later.

Another night of pretending to be someone I'm not.

I get it, believe me. But the answers we all want

about what happened 16 years ago,

what if exposing ourselves means we never find out?

Heather Barnes was killed outside the Blake house last night.

Yes, I'm well aware.

Right in front of our kids.

You think she said anything to them?

She was supposed to be catatonic for the rest of her life.

I'm not even sure how she was able to get out her front door.

But we always knew binding the circle might attract

unwanted attention.

But I never thought they'd face this kind

of danger, not so soon.

The more they're confronted with, the more they'll dig.

And we're not equipped yet to protect them

from what they might find.

We will be. The Blood Moon's tonight

and I've got everything ready.

Be at the boat at 10:00.

You don't want to miss it.

No, we don't.

What do you say we go back to using phones

for these kind of conversations?

It's so nice to see you in person.

Oh, your dad's here.

You're probably getting expelled.

You don't know?

Know what?

Our parents are dating.

It's cute, huh?

Uhh!

God!

Aah!

Are you ok?

Nick.

Yeah, Nick.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine. But I need your help.

What?

I found my family's Book of Shadows.

Seriously?

Mm-hmm. But I don't want the others to know.

Where'd you find it?

I was looking for a necklace in my mom's stuff

and I found her diary. She writes all about

hiding our family's book in the forest for protection.

Will you help me find it?

It'd just be for us, you and me,

doing all the spells?

That could be fun.

Our secret.

You must have read it wrong.

There's nothing down here.

Trust me, it's there.

I am done. I'm about to pass out.

Stop being such a wuss and dig.

Hey.

What the hell?

This thing weighs a ton.

Uhh! Uh!

Are you sure the book's in there?

This is exactly what we're looking for.

How's the chicken?

Mmm. Delicious.

Thank you.

School?

Fine.

You know, it's school.

Pretty soon we're gonna be talking about the weather.

Sorry.

What?

The way you just wrinkled your nose

exactly like your mom.

Really?

What was she like, at my age?

Well, like you, beautiful.

Strong.

So smart.

Why did she leave here?

Your mother kept a lot of things from me.

She didn't think I'd understand.

You might feel the same way.

When she was in trouble,

I did not see the signs.

If we were closer, if she'd come to me,

I could have helped.

I'll never forgive myself.

You know, once mom got something in her head...

Ah. See? You know her better than you think.

Please don't make the same mistake, Cassie.

Everything ok?

Fine.

Ready for dessert?

Actually, I have to meet someone.

But I won't be late.

Thank you for the dinner.

Mm.

I'll be back soon.

Well, let's just open it.

What's your problem? Don't touch it.

This is what you wanted--the book.

My mom put a spell on it to protect it and keep it safe.

It won't open until we undo the spell.
