Plot[edit | edit source]

SPOILERS AHEAD

As Grandma Jane plans to head up to Henry's cabin for the weekend, Faye convinces Cassie to throw a big Halloween party for the Circle. The pair rummage through an antiques store looking for decoration ideas, but odd things happen when Cassie pays the owner of the store. Jane confirms that Calvin is a witch, and she says there were more magical families in Chance Harbor before the fire. Meanwhile, Melissa is still mourning at Nick's grave, and she and Jake exchange heated words.

Back at the house, Cassie discovers a piece of the dagger that Simone used to try to kill her. She wonders if Calvin will know anything about the strange symbols on the blade, so she plans on going back to the shop. Jake magically sabotages her car and then pays a visit to Calvin himself. He warns the shopkeeper off from telling Cassie the truth and then concocts a potion which will permanently kill a witch. All he needs to do is set the potion alight, and Calvin will be dead. Once Cassie gets to the shop, Calvin doesn't tell her a thing. Cassie spots another weapon in the shop with similar markings so she takes a pic of it.

Later she, Adam, and Faye research the symbols online, and discover that they belong to an organization of witch-hunters. Jake is seen making the same killing potion for everyone in the Circle. He will have some help kidnapping the witches at the party. One of his fellow hunter is Luke.

Jake and Cassie talk, and Cassie expresses her concern about the witch-hunter symbols she saw on the blade. Jake shows more knowledge of those symbols than he should. Cassie grows a bit suspicious of him. Meanwhile, Adam and Diana are still pining for each other, and Adam is angry at his dad for encouraging the break-up. Ethan shrugs it off, saying you can't fight destiny.

At the party, Faye and Jake flirt, but members of the Circle are being picked off one by one. Melissa is taken away first. Cassie slips away from the party for a moment to head next door to rummage through Jake's family's house. She finds a witch-hunter knife in Jake's things. Jake arrives and says that the knife was Nick's.

Calvin and Ethan talk about Cassie's father, and whether she should know the whole truth about her dad. Calvin has a change of heart and contacts Cassie to warn her about the witch hunt and about Cassie's special abilities. Before he can say too much, however, Jake sets fire to Calvin's potion and kills him.

At the party, Adam is still trying to get Diana back but she's still refusing to say yes. Diana goes off alone and is taken by the witch-hunters. Cassie is finally taken, by Luke. The Circle are all gathered together, and Jake arrives to tell the other hunters that Cassie's powers are special and she won't be killed by normal means. The hunters ignore his warning, which is a big mistake, as Cassie sets Luke on fire. Jake cuts his arm open and pretends that he was one of the hunted as well

Jake tries to distract Cassie from the night's events by visiting her. However, Cassie sees that someone has mailed a scroll to her. Calvin's last act was to help Cassie. Meanwhile, Jane arrives at Henry's cabin, and finds him dead. She searches his home for his crystal in the hopes of reviving him, but then someone knocks her unconscious - it's Charles, who stole the Crystal.

Quotes[edit | edit source]

Faye: "I'm a sexy witch doctor."

Faye: "It’s times like this I pity the normals. They would never be this cool."

Luke: "Like my father did before me and his father before him, but at least I can be proud of mine."

Adam: "You are my home, Diana."

Jake: "Ding, dong, the witch is dead !"

Adam: "Will you stop using fate as an excuse for what you did to Mom? Did you ever even love her? Cause the way you talk about Amelia... doesn't seem like it."

Cassie: "Really Faye? In my bedroom..."

Faye: "There's something different with you... You were always an ass, but you were never distant, not when we where like this."

Jake: "Maybe you just always thought that there was more there, and there wasn't."

Faye: "No, I felt it since you got back."

Jake: "Looking for something ?"

Cassie: "Just Nick’s MP3 player, for Melissa. You know, their songs, I thought it might help her."

Jake: "Did you think stabbing it to death would get her the closure she needs?"

Cassie: "No, but what else would you use it for? Opening really thick letters? Killing people? These symbols mean witch hunters. Why do you have it?"

Jake: "It's not mine."

Cassie: "Are you telling me this is Nick's?"

Faye: "Wow ! This is what takes you to get more exicted ! A little girl with a knife."
