In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description! Finished? Click here to close.Still no sign from Jane. Seriously, this is ridiculous. They should maybe consider not starting each show highlighting Cassie's domestic situation, as it's getting less realistic than the witch stuff or someone looking like her and being considered an outsider in high school. Apparently, she told Diana that she and Jake dug up her father's grave. Adam's sort of CRAZY when he finds out. It all boils down to him just really hating Jake, and can you blame him? In any other world -- and I mean world -- Adam would be the cutest guy around. But, then Jake comes along and balls shrivel and voices crack. I get it.
This woman named Lucy Gibbons shows up at Cassie's house and it turns out she was the person who saw and spoke to Cassie when she was travelling back in Jake's memory to the day of the fire. She warns Cassie that witchhunters are asking about her. Charlie confronts Dawn, who has a strange cut on her hand, about getting Ethan to go after him. He sounds like he wants to kill her. Ethan asks for Diana's help planning a surprise birthday party for Adam and she agrees, but not before Adam hears them talking. Surprise ruined. At 7 Briar Hill, Jake and Cassie fool around with the medallion that she found on the boat, in an effort to unleash its power. Wind starts to whip around in the basement and she tells Jake to run - but instead, he tackles her, breaking whatever spell was happening. Lame. Also, lame? Adam walking in at that moment and seeing them on the floor together and thinking it's what it looks like. Cassie tells him about Lucy's visit and that witch hunters are coming after them.
Faye, always such a good friend, gives Melissa that devil's tooth powder or whatever. Jake and Cassie go to Lucy who says that she can find the medallion spell for them. After they leave, Dawn shows up. She had "marked" Lucy those many years ago and that's what the cut on her hand was. She says that Lucy betrayed them before. She blames her for not seeing that the witch hunters were coming after them (Lucy's a psychic). She tells her that she wants help finding the remaining family crystals.
Jake and Cassie get back to her place to find that the medallion is missing. But, she has to get to Adam's birthday party, which Diana had one afternoon to plan. Why? Melissa's hopped up on the devil's dramalam and Faye accidentally loses the rest of their stash, prompting Melissa to get Faye to call the dealer. Charlie tries to get cozy with Ethan, but he's not having it. Also, he seems to be fully aware of Charlie's attempted manipulation. Callum shows up with drugs and takes a shine to Melissa. Fun! Adam returns the medallion to Cassie- he had stolen it. She gets Jake to admit he had killed witches, which is apparently a turn-off for her. Lucy arrives at Dawn's house and stabs her in the gut! She is on the side of the witch hunters and apparently always has been.
Charlie steals the crystal from a sleeping and ill Ethan. The Circle meet Lucy in the woods and start chanting something that's supposed to keep them safe from witch hunters. But, the spell Lucy gives them is actually trying to take their powers away. Cassie breaks free and almost kills Lucy. She finds out that her father is still alive then tells Lucy to never return to Chance Harbour. Charlie finds Dawn stabbed on the floor and uses the crystal to bring her back to life.
It has taken exactly a day for Melissa to get addicted to drugs. Jake booty calls Faye and boy does she answer. Lucy goes to the head witch hunter, who has nasty burns from the fire, and he slits her throat when he finds that she failed to take the power of The Circle. Cassie spends her free time in the basement of 7 Briar Hill making the wind whip. When she finishes, she feels as if she's been with her father.
Want more? The full recap starts right below!We begin with Cassie at her house, carrying luggage downstairs, when a bell signals someone at the door. It's Adam. She asks how he... Oh, Diana told him she was there. Is Jane back? Nope, just grabbing some more stuff. Stop. They are really going off the rails with this grandma stuff. Where the hell is she? But, seriously. And, this mysterious Brigadoon for the Neurologically Demised, their treatment is what exactly? Because the length of time is making me think electroshock therapy or lobotomy or something. You'd think Cassie would be a little more concerned and maybe spend a few days watching after the woman.
Anyway, so Adam is steamed because Diana told him that Cassie and Jake dug up her father's grave. She's like, "I know it looks bad." Hey, we don't judge here, Cassie. You won't even check in on your mush-brained granny who took you -- an orphan -- in when you had no one in the world after your mother spirited you away and never even visited. We don't judge that, so why would we judge you for digging up a freaking grave? She tells him that her father didn't die in the fire and she needs to know what happened. Adam, getting heated, says that risking getting caught and exposed is not the way to go about it. He's pissed about her spending time with Jake. He thinks he's bad news. She says that because of Jake, she found the medallion at the boat. Adam replies that he will do whatever it takes to find out if her father is alive, because he cares about her, not because he's obsessed with her dark magic connections. He reminds her that they kissed the other night and says that there is no room for Jake between them. Ew. His jealousy regarding Jake is really not attractive. It's like it's making him actually shrink.
Faye is leaving The Coffee Press with a piping hot cup of witch's brew when she spies Jake. She says that he must be back in town to make sure Adam and Cassie don't get to second base and he replies that jealousy isn't a good look on her. She says that she heard that witch hunters killed his parents -- Jesus, his hair is so beautiful -- and she's sure that he's out for revenge. But she says that he's "barking up the wrong shrub" with Cassie. She won't get it, she's not his type. He says "Thanks Doc" and suggests she get over her feelings of powerlessness by trying to burn down another school. Heh. She smiles and says that's the Jake she remembers.
Cassie's on the edge of her bed looking at the medallion. She goes to her mantle where her Book of Shadows is and puts it there. Then she grabs her stuff and tries to leave again. This time, there's a woman at the door. The woman has a haunted look and says that Cassie is Amelia Blake's daughter. Cassie says she looks familiar and the woman says that they met 16 years earlier during the boat fire! Cue spooky girl la-la!
