In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description! Finished? Click here to close.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 next 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 next 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?
