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.

Jane was performing a spell

over his body when I got there.

Well, we've got to figure out a way to control Jane's memory.

There was a guy in Nick's yard last night.

Jane: It must have been his older brother Jake.

There's no way I am going to let Jake be a part of this circle.

I've been accused of doing a lot of things tonight.

Maybe I should try at least one of them.

Jake: Cassie's magic is stronger than anything I've ever experienced.

She has dark magic inside her.

So why are you so desperate to tell her?

So she can fight it!

The antiquities dealer left her some kind of warning.

I need to figure out what it is.

It's time for the witches to die.

And all that's left for you to do is

to decide whether you're still one of them.

What does it mean?

I don't know.

There's nothing familiar here at all.

I just-- I thought because it has your initials...

I wish I recognized any of these symbols, but I don't.

What exactly did Calvin say to you when he gave you this?

That I was in danger.

Then he hung up, and 5 minutes later,

we were attacked by witch hunters.

I called his store a bunch of times,

but no one answers.

Keep trying.

I'll check with Henry Chamberlain.

He might know what this is.

Faye's grandfather?

Yes. He's an elder, and we're old friends.

Grandma...He died.

Of course he did.

I'm sorry, it's been a stressful week,

and I'm not sleeping well.

Don't worry.

I'm fine, I promise.

Ok. Ok.

All right. I better get to school.

But I'll let you know if I can get a hold of Calvin.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

Hey, emo girl.

You jerk. What are you doing here?

Helping your dad with the big shindig tonight.

He asked you to come to check up on me, didn't he?

I'd say rumors of your depression were greatly underexaggerated.

Yeah, well, my boyfriend died.

I know. I'm sorry.

I can't stop being sad.

I'm here now.

I'm just going to have to annoy it right out of your system.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, Melissa. Hi.

You're Melissa's cousin.

Holden, you remember Diana.

No. Nice to meet you.

You don't remember her?

She had the biggest crush on you when she was, like, 12.

She stopped by the house all the time that summer.

Oh, my God, Melissa. She's totally exaggerating.

Now I remember. You were the one who made a necklace

out of ribbons you won at the academic decathlon.

Yeah. That's her.

I officially hate you. Forever.

So, what brings you to town?

Helping Melissa's dad out with the gala tonight.

Taking a semester off school.

UCLA encourages outreach to disadvantaged cousins.

Very charitable of you.

So, I guess I'll see you tonight.

Yeah.

What? Ugh!

Well, this is a rare visit.

Are you ok?

I can't stop thinking about grandpa.

I'm so sorry, honey.

It's horrible that you were the one to find him.

He would want us to be strong.

And I need your strength too.

The Maritime Memorial Fundraising Gala is tonight.

You're still going?

I'm co-chair with Melissa's dad. I have to go.

There's been a death in the family.

No one will care if you miss it.

Faye, I have responsibilities.

You don't care about granddad, do you?

That's not fair.

Our relationship wasn't easy,

but he played his part in that, too.

Really?

It looked to me like you pushed him away.

That's why he stayed at the lake house all the time,

because you wouldn't let him into our life.

Maybe this is your fault.

Don't talk to me like that.

Our history was complicated.

You don't know the whole story.

Doesn't matter now, does it?

Not to him, anyway.

Cassie: Actually, no, we don't call it the Scooby-Doo magic shack.

I like it. Kind of a girlier "Lost Boys" vibe.

Let me go turn on the lights.

Hey, I saw that.

What are you up to?

What are you really doing here?

- I brought him. - Mm-mm.

The Jake I knew hated this town.

He'd never hang around here like a retiree.

But he would steal.

Jasper.

It's my family's stone.

I was going to put it at Nick's grave.

Don't play the death card with me.

Faye, that's enough.

I know this is going to be a blow to your overinflated ego,

but you don't know me. You never did.

You're wrong.

And proving it to these suckers is going to do my ego wonders.

Sorry.

Not your fault.

That's all my mistake.

- Let's take a look at these. - Yeah.

Ok. How do you figure out the symbols?

Don't know.

Ah. But look at this.

Witches used to separate paper,

write messages on the inside.

What?

And then put it back together.

I'm impressed.

That's my father.

John Blackwell?

Yeah. J.B.

I'm so stupid for not making the connection.

He died in the same fire that your parents did.

But that's pretty much everything I know about him.

Your mom never talked about him?

Hmm. Maybe it was too painful.

After a while, I just stopped asking.

But now...

Here he is, my whole history.

Father, grandfather.

Who are they?

Why did Calvin give me this?

How does it protect me? From what?

I don't know.

Well, I have to ask him.

- Want to go with me? - I can't.

I need to take care of something.

I'm sorry.

But let me know what he says.

I just--I just thought you could help figure it out--

I know. I wish I could.

But those symbols don't make any sense to me.

I'm sure Calvin will know.

It was the strangest thing.

I searched the Blackwell family tree on the Internet for hours

and came up completely blank.

How can a family this big not have a single hit online?

I don't know.

But it gives me a bad feeling.

Did you ask your grandmother about it?

Not yet. She's helping with the Maritime fundraiser today.

Are you going?

I was actually thinking about inviting Jake.

But then, he was... A little weird today.

You know, kind of distant.

Come on. You guys kissed at the lake house.

It's obvious there's something between you two.

Definitely ask him.

Mmm. I'll think about it.

So, what about you? You going?

Yep.

Solo. I'm single now.

It's pretty empowering, actually,

when I'm not desperately missing Adam.

- Mind? - Yeah.

Cassie's dark magic comes from Balcoin.

That's not possible.

The Balcoin line was eradicated.

Hidden, but not eradicated.

The name was changed to Blackwell.

Cassie's father was John Blackwell.
