Jake and Faye wake up together. She looks really hot in her underwear but she is NOT JAKE. Jake, however, is Jake. And. And. And. Why is this TV? Why isn't this HBO? They should win all the Emmys, these two. Stupid Cassie says that she felt an incredibly real connection with her father. She tells this to Diana. And, I'm OVER IT. Diana, luckily, is Meg Ryan circa 2015 and wants to have a vagina-free Valentine's Day. It's almost that time, FYI. So, she's a distraction and has a party for the girls and just the girls. Just the witch girls.
In the most fraught manner possibly, Adam and Cassie agree to go on a date together. So, um, Cassie is getting something out of her car and there's some dude with a sack over his head staring(?) at her, but she doesn't see him. Lee pays Faye a visit. And, Isaac pays Jake a visit. He's pretty pissed because he found out that witch hunters killed his parents. Isaac blames is all on John Blackwell. So much story. But, so little.In the basement on Briar Hill, Cassie's staring at the symbol on the ceiling when she sees that guy with the hood on. She, thankfully and finally expressively, freaks out and runs upstairs where Adam stops her. He doesn't see anything. She thinks it's her dad, but Adam tries to talk her out of it, because he's a freaking killjoy. Can't even dream that a shrouded dude in your basement is your dad. THANKS.
At the girl party, Melissa gives Diana some of the spooky juice! And, she takes it! The trio do a spell to make the pizza guy who is arriving soon very hot and it ends up being Lee, who is, of course, very hot. Diana kisses him, but then it's all a little embarrassing. The real pizza guy shows up and their spell effing WORKED. He's the cutest guy ever. Then, Cassie shows up and is the wet blanket.
Isaac tries to talk Jake into the idea that John Blackwell is still the bad guy. Why would you listen to any of this? Isaac says that John tried to steal powers with the medallion. The girls have a séance and try to contact John. The only thing that is told to them is "sacred." Cassie leaves because everyone is high or Faye. She's driving home (before Jake gets a chance to talk to her) and the medallion tightens around her neck and causes her to have a gnarly car accident? Witches and cars -- not a good mix.
Jake finds Adam at the docks. He ridicules him into helping him find Cassie. She, meanwhile, is pretty OK after that wreck. She sees a shrouded dude in the field to the car accident and starts running after it. Melissa OD's on ghoul porridge and Diana and Faye find her. They talk her down from her two or three day massive addiction. Cassie runs through the whatever until she's in an abandoned or under-renovation church. She's pissed. Many shrouded dudes arrive as Jake and Adam get there. Adam is surrounded. He gets possessed or something and it's cool. They boogies start to make Adam cut his wrist. It's a little confusing, but it seems like the demons want the medallion and are going to make Adam kill himself unless they get it. Instead, she crushes it with her hand. Adam's fine but, no medallion?
Jake shows Isaac the smashed medallion. He's pissed and says that there's nothing else he can do for Jake. Because he's been so helpful. Faye and Diana agree to watch after Melissa. Lee is apparently trying to make some girl better (she's like catatonic)... somehow. Later, Adam shows Cassie this Valentine's set up on his boat. He went all out. So, Cassie has found out that her dad killed people and she's tired of learning things about him. They start making out. Happy. On the dock is a guy with a scar on his hand, like the medallion! It's John! Please be played by Josh Hartnett.
Want more? The full recap starts right below!Faye wakes up to Jake and quickly starts dressing herself. Jake wakes and they basically fight over who wanted to fuck who more. Kids, you're both hot. We all wanted it for you. She's about to leave in a huff when they decide that, since they're both still nearly naked, why not just have sex again instead? I love the way they think. Faye wears really cute underwear. Jake also wears underwear. Boo.
At school, which Cassie apparently attends, she tells Diana that while playing a wind machine in the basement, she sensed the presence of her father. He was trying to find her through the medallion. He should just try going back to his hometown. SHE'S THERE. Cassie sees Diana staring at some fellow students kissing amidst a bunch of Valentine's Day decorations and wonders if she's thinking about Adam. She's not. In fact, she wants this V-Day to not be about her needing a guy for happiness. Oh Diana, you're a drastic haircut and a few years of heavy Ani DiFranco-listening before you're really going to learn that lesson. Down the hall, Faye is disgusted by some necking students celebrating what she calls "Anti-Independence Day." Melissa senses an extra sparkle in her bitchiness and asks what's up. She tells her that she got with Jake. She won. She says they're not together, but Melissa is suspicious of the whole thing. Faye makes really bad choices. This was not one of them. Faye proposes a no-boys-allowed slumber party to celebrate V-Day. Melissa is into it and invites Diana and Cassie to attend when they walk up. Faye says no boy talk and, specifically, no Adam talk. They agree.
Cassie remembers that she left something somewhere and is going to her car to retrieve it when she walks past Adam. Their sexual tension is amped up in this scene and it's kind of nice because it feels like Cassie is in charge of it. He asks her if she'd like to go to dinner and she explains that she can't because she's going to Faye's. She mentions that it's an anti-Valentine's Day party and he acts like he doesn't know what day it is and says, "That's so random." They agree to go on a for real date on another night. As she walks away, Adam shames himself for saying the random thing. So much face acting in this scene.
Cassie goes to her car and we see this dude, who is completely shrouded for whatever reason, standing with a really aggressive posture near her. Scary. But she doesn't see it. And then... he's gone!
Faye is at her house getting ready for the slumber party when Lee shows up at her door. He says that he's left a bunch of messages for him, but she reminds him that he didn't get her own power back for her. He argues that he did, but she and her Circle didn't like the way he did it. Touché. He has brought her something different. It looks like a cross between a dreamcatcher and a thing you'd use in lacrosse. A racket? Don't care. He tells her that it's a power totem that draws away weakness to intensify her strength. He invites her to dinner and she turns him down. He leaves the doll and says it and he are going to change her life. We can all agree that something's up with the doll, right?
Jake is at his house doing whatever it is he does while being a thing that fell to earth on the back of a golden calf floating on a cloud of butter and Sweetums when he sees that Isaac is there. Wha? He slams Isaac against the wall and is generally just really pissed because he saw that Eben killed his parents, not witchcraft. Isaac says that he only knows part of the story. Jake says that his parents were willing to give up witchcraft, but Isaac insists that Blackwell would have never let that happen. He says that John led the Circle to believe that the hunters were deceiving them? What? We saw Jake's father and mother agree to give up their powers, then they were killed. They didn't talk to John AT ALL in between those events. He says that John led them to slaughter, but this still doesn't make any sense. Isaac says that Jake can prevent the same thing from happening to his Circle if he gives the medallion to the witch hunters, but Jake is like, um, sure... let me get that for you. He tells Isaac to get out.
Cassie's back in the basement at 7 Briar Hill. She's just looking around, holding her medallion thinking about papa, when she turns around and sees the shrouded dude. Suddenly, Cassie is the most expressive she has ever been. She shrieks and runs up the stairs, where Adam is waiting for her. She tells him that someone is in the basement. They go downstairs and find nothing. She says that the man was wearing the same robe that her father was wearing when the witch hunters tried to kill her father. Adam asks why she was in the basement and she says she was trying to communicate with her father. Adam says that her father has had plenty of time to look for her. Good point.
At Faye's place, Diana bumps into Faye, causing her to sit on and break her power totem. She's totally pissed and stomps off. Diana is about to leave when Melissa convinces her to stay and take some devil hootch. Meanwhile, Cassie is talking to Jake about the shrouded dude. She's found a replica of the symbol she saw on the robe and he tells her that it belonged to the Nidaros coven. They came to Chance Harbor from Europe, not Salem, and have been wiped out. He doesn't know what this has to do with her father.
Diana and Melissa are high and waiting for pizza. Diana suggests that they perform a spell that makes the pizza guy hot and Faye says that might be the least boring idea she's ever had. True. Then, Diana says she's going to make out with the newly hot pizza guy. Melissa gets the girls to hold hands and they imagine the hottest guy they can conjure -- then the doorbell rings. Diana runs to answer it and starts making out with Lee. Faye breaks it up. She called Lee to fix the totem, apparently.

Cassie's at her place when she gets a text from Diana that reads, "Bitch, hurry." Then, the medallion starts to move across her kitchen counter by itself. She just grabs it and puts it around her neck and walks out of the kitchen. Seriously. She's not like, "Wow, did you see that? I don't know why I'm asking that since no one is here but feel like I need to vocalize my surprise at this inanimate object moving without my help." None of that, though. However, we see TWO hooded figures staring at her from outside. These hoods are becoming a trend.
Lee tells Faye that he knows his friends are on devil juju and that stuff is dangerous. She wants him to fix her totem. He's like, oh, now you believe it. She flirts and says that she doesn't know why he would come all that way to fix a fake. Good point. So the actual pizza guy arrives and all I have to say is: casting department, BRAVO. The boy is so cute. Like, if I could do magic -- and who is to say that I can't (I can't) -- and I were to perform a spell that made people hot, THIS is what I would expect them to look like afterwards. Oh my god, he's a fucking unicorn. The actor's name is Callum Gunn, OBVIOUSLY. Anyway, they send him on his way after some kissing and then Cassie arrives. She suggests that she maybe she should leave because she's not ready to party like the girls apparently are, but Diana pulls her inside. As they walk ahead, Melissa pulls out the more of the devil's spirit. Two days and she's a total addict.
Jake meets with Isaac again. He says that Cassie is being followed by the Nidaros coven and wonders if they are the witches that Isaac killed haunting Cassie. He says that John Blackwell killed the witches in order to steal their power. When Cassie "activated" the medallion, she alerted every dead witch whose power the medallion has taken. Isaac says that the medallion holds the power of many crystals and she'll die if he doesn't take it with him.
Cassie tells the girls about the ghost she saw in the basement, though Faye is wary that she's going to make the night all about her. They try to talk to the ghosts with a Ouija board, which doesn't work, so Cassie puts the medallion in the center of the board instead. They don't even need to touch it -- it spells "sacred" all by its lonesome. They try to decide what that means, but Diana and Melissa are too fucked up and stupid to be serious. Cassie decides to go see Adam and Jake arrives to talk to her just after she leaves.

Cassie is driving when she passes one of the shrouded witches on the side of the road (she doesn't see it). The medallion's chain tightens around her neck and causes her to have a gnarly car accident! Meanwhile, Adam has his boat all set up to impress Cassie for V-Day. Jake shows up and tells him that less is more. They leave to look for her together and he doesn't blow out all the candles on the freaking boat. Lame.
Cassie seems fine after the accident, except for a cough. Weird. She sees one of the shrouded witches and follows it. Faye and Diana have an argument where Diana accuses Faye of being jealous of her friendship with Melissa. Then they find Melissa convulsing on the floor with an empty bag of Satan Sauce beside her.
Cassie runs through the woods following the witch until she reaches an empty church. Meanwhile, Jake and Adam find her empty car and Jake tells Adam that John Blackwell stole the powers of the witches that are haunting her. At the church, Cassie is surrounded by the shrouded witches when Adam and Jake arrive. Adam takes a knife and tries to protect her, but they surround him and possess his body. They force him to start cutting his wrist and threaten to kill him unless she gives them the medallion. Jake tries to take it from her and she throws him aside. Instead of giving the medallion, she crushes it with her hand! Jake gives a tiny piece to Isaac but that's not what he wanted. He says that he can't help them now. Oh thanks.
Diana and Faye nurse Melissa and come to an agreement about being her friend. Meanwhile, Lee takes a totem identical to Faye's and goes to a hospital room where a girl is hooked to machines. He says that he's going to make her better. The girls have a pillow fight at their slumber party, obviously.
Not sore from her car accident nor his half-sliced wrist, Adam takes Cassie to his boat and she sees that he set the place up to impress her. She's upset at the idea that her father killed a coven. She's worried that it means she's a bad person. Adam tells her she's amazing and kisses her. On the dock, a man with the mark of medallion burnt into his palm stands watching. Daddy?
