The Secret Circle

Previously on the "Secret Circle"...

Hi. I'm Diana.

Pete. Ship's captain.

How big is your boat?

Your boat?

I might have exaggerated my position

in regards to the boat. It's not mine.

That's not an exaggeration, it's a lie.

So you do have magic.

But I can't stop all the witch hunters.

The hunters are back?

Yes, and they're going to kill all of us.

You're a witch.

If I have as much power as you think I do,

do you really want to test it?

Each one of your families has its own crystal.

Bound together in their original form,

there is no stronger magic.

And there'll be enough to stop Eben and the witch hunters?

You're a circle.

Together with the power of 6 crystals,

you can destroy them once and for all.

I can't believe I just rifled my mom's underwear drawer.

No one that old should have that many thongs.

The crystal's never gonna be here.

The elders were trying to keep magic away from our parents.

Well, my grandfather is dead,

and I guarantee if he had a crystal,

my mom found it.

Ok. Let's say she had one and was trying to hide it from you.

What's the last thing you'd ever do around here?

Heh, I don't know.

Cook, clean.

Bills?

A journal?

Tied with an actual ribbon.

Hey.

You leave something like this lying around,

you're just begging for it to be read.

Doo-doo-doo-doo.

"July 12, 1994.

"I am deeply in love.

"He says my presence chases away the dark

like the dawn of every day."

Ew. I have to stop. I just ate.

Your mom and dad were in love.

That's nice.

I don't know about that.

"I told John today that we can't hide our relationship

from Tom and Amelia for much longer."

Wait, Tom's your dad, right?

And Amelia was Cassie's mom.

Which means...

My mom and John Blackwell were secretly hooking up.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==

You guys reading stories to each other? How cute.

Yeah, about witches being massacred over the centuries.

There's 200 years just known as the burning times.

Whole towns burned at the stake.

And that was before the witch hunters

had demons helping them.

That's why we need to find the 6 crystals and bring them together.

It's the only weapon powerful enough to defeat them.

No crystal at my place.

Then we just have Cassie's.

How does it work?

My grandmother says the crystal is a lens

that magnifies individual power.

So I could destroy this ugly vase all by myself?

Let me try.

Faye, drop the crystal!

Faye! Don't do that again.

This is not a toy.

Its power can be drained.

So only use it if you have to.

Now, we need to get the rest of the crystals

from the elders before the witch hunters attack.

Wouldn't the elders want to stop the witch hunters, too?

Can't we just ask them for help?

The elders will never trust you.

After the boatyard fire,

they stripped your parents of their magic.

When they find out you have it,

they'll do the same thing to you, too.

I'm gonna drive out to my granddad's.

If my family has a crystal, it'll be there.

My grandparents are on the other side of the country right now.

My grandmother disappeared

after she tried to kill Cassie.

I'm sure I can find a way into my grandmother's place

and look around pretty easily.

Don't underestimate the elders.

Go in groups so you can use your circle magic.

Why don't you and I help Melissa?

I told Jake I'd go with him.

Well, I call shotgun.

Unless you two were planning a romantic daytrip.

I can help Melissa.

Ok, let's go.

Hey.

Uh, my grandmother called.

She comes home tomorrow.

She does?

I'm glad, for both of you.

Heh.

Look, I know you two were never best friends,

but it would be nice to see you two getting along.

Well, you know, if I'm gonna be staying here in town,

there's a number of people I need to reach out to,

and she's definitely one of them.

Thank you.

For you. For giving me a second chance.

You won't regret it.

For the next 24 hours,

you're gonna get all truth all the time.

And Pete's letting me borrow the boat for the afternoon,

so I'm gonna take you to the San Juan islands

for a sunset picnic.

That sounds amazing.

And I can't believe I have to do this,

but something came up

and I was hoping we could reschedule for tomorrow.

Actually, we're shipping out

first thing in the morning.

I'm not sure when we'll be back.

Melissa, hi.

I love the way you say my name.

And you're the guy from the boathouse.

- Adam. - Grant.

Can you excuse us for a second?

Sure.

I just bailed on an insanely romantic date he had planned,

but can I at least just have an hour?

As soon as my grandmother leaves the house,

we have to be ready.

It's our best shot to find her crystal.

But do we have to go right now?

Well, maybe we can pull it off without the three of us.

Really?

So you don't need me at all?

Go.

Thank you.

Let's go picnicking.

Well, good day, mate.

That sounded Irish.

Look, grab us a couple coffees,

I will meet you up front.

I emailed. I called.

And you haven't heard from me.

What does that tell you?

Sorry about the way I acted at the party.

Couldn't help myself.

Come on, you're a witch. You know how amazing that is?

Yeah, actually, I do.

Why are you here?

What do you care?

It's ok, Jake.

No, it's not. He's a bottom feeder

who just wants our power.

Our power?

You mean he's a witch, too?

Just leave us alone, Callum.

You know that I'd never hurt you, all right.

This Ken doll, I mean, he's a different story, huh?

You know how much a pint of witch blood goes for

on the black market?

Stop it!

Stop it!

Let's just go.

Hello?

Grandma!

Hi!

Ha ha! What?

I--I didn't expect you until tomorrow.

And I was gonna clean the house

and...buy you flowers, put food in the fridge.

You don't have to worry about me anymore.

I should be taking care of you.

I managed ok. And Mr. Meade was really great.

And my father's back.

We came to visit you at the clinic. Remember?

Yes, I do.

Oh.

Look, I know you two haven't had the greatest history.

A real father is someone who raises you,

looks after you,

not someone who pretends to be dead for 16 years.

But people can change, right?

Look, don't get mad,

but I asked him to give you a call.

All right.

I will try to get along with him.

For you.

That means everything to me.

Oh, um, I have to go.

I mean, I just-- I didn't know

that you were gonna be home today and I have this thing.

Go. Have fun with your friends.

If your father calls, I will invite him for coffee,

see if we can't play nice.
