In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description! Finished? Click here to close.The show begins with Cassie packing her bags. She is moving home because Jane is returning home from the Clinic for the Open-Stayed Visits from the Neurologically Demised. Wow. That was epic. Diana is sad to see her go and Charlie seems a little weirded out when he hears that Jane is returning. Well, that was a lie. Jane is totally not coming home yet, but Cassie felt like she was imposing on Diana. At least they're talking about it. She goes home and Jake is there. He's worried about her. He found ash around her house, which means that the witch hunters are already out to kill her. She's totally not into Jake right now, so she tells him to get out.
Then, she sees someone hanging around her door. The door opens, witch-like, and there's a guy standing there. IT'S JOHN BLACKWELL. It's freaking Jake from One Life To Live as well as Mr. Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. He has an amazing haircut, so we can assume that the undercover witch life has been good to him. He tells Cassie that he needs to talk to her, but Adam arrives and they agree to meet later, though he tells her to keep mum about his presence. She totally tells Adam right away. She goes to see him later and he tells her that he felt her presence from the medallion when she unlocked it. He wants her to give it to him for her protection, but this makes her suspicious.
Callum pops into the Boathouse and invites Melissa to a party at his place. Faye is there and doesn't even stop her. Whatever.
After Cassie's chat with her dad, she gets kidnapped by Eben. Saw that coming. John is hanging around his old house, 7 Briar Hill, when Jake arrives. He's of course like who the hell are you and John says that he's Cassie's father. Jake has been looking for her and can't find her. They both rush out. Jake finds Cassie tied to a chair and surrounded by ash (prepped for witch-killing) in Eben's lair. He tells him that he'll bring John to them if they let Cassie go. He agrees.
Melissa is at the party with Callum and he takes her into another room where he has two power totems like the one that Lee gave Faye. They play a little game where they exchange energy and Callum senses that Melissa is a witch. At the same time, Diana has shamed Faye for letting Melissa go to this party and they've arrived with Lee to find her. Melissa rushes out of the room with Callum and they're all safe. Melissa tells Faye that the power totems are made to take power from her and she later confronts Lee. She thinks he was trying to steal her power. He takes her power totem and breaks it, then says that he would never do anything to hurt her. Then, they kiss. February has been very good to Faye.
Eben puts these weird eye drops in Cassie's lamps before Jake returns with John. Then, he just lets her go. After John and Cassie leave, Eben asks why Jake didn't kill John and he says that he doesn't have to because Cassie will. Then, he's about to kill Jake (he's decided that his use for him is over) when the rest of the Circle walks up and sends Eben flying up to a tree where he gets impaled on a branch. After they make sure that Jake is OK, they look up and he's gone. But, he's not a witch? In the woods, Cassie suddenly grabs a stick and some herb or something (she can't stop herself) and starts the process of killing John. He doesn't have powers anymore, so he can't stop her. The Circle arrives and helps Cassie stop right before she is about to set her dad on fire!
Want more? The full recap starts right below!Cassie is packing her things in Diana's room when Diana comes in holding her own bag, which suggests she was just at the gym or the Police Academy. Cassie explains that she's moving home because her grandmother is coming home from wherever the hell she's been. That night! Did her insurance cover this? Cassie says she will miss Diana's snoring. That could be the most damaging thing that she has done to their friendship. Diana says that, without Cassie asking her if she's awake, how will she know it's the middle of the night? I hear bubbling resentment! Charlie, who is sporting a new sexy do that really suits him, comes into the room with college pamphlets that he feels the girls should read. Diana tells him that Cassie is going home and he feigns something like pleasure regarding Jane's recovery. He also mentions that Cassie just got a new job at the Java Brew and baby witch is all grown up. She thanks him for taking care of her and he says it was his pleasure and leaves. Then, Diana asks her why all of the men in her life like Cassie more than her. Wow. Luckily, she giggles and says that she's just kidding.
When she gets to her house, the door is open. She grabs an umbrella like a ninja and Jake pops out. He says that opening that umbrella would be very bad luck. He thought he saw someone at her place from next door -- the door was unlocked when he checked. Maybe someone broke in to tidy the place up? She looks down and finds some ash on the floor that was tracked in from outside. This freaks Jake out. He runs outside and finds a trail of ash around the house. Witch hunters are planning on killing her!
Jake tells Cassie that Isaac was furious when he heard that she destroyed the medallion. He's not sure why, since he wouldn't be able to use it, but it's clear that they are coming after her. Cassie says that she can take care of herself. She thinks that Jake has uncontrollable anger issues. He also has an uncontrollable body and face. They won't stop. They can't be stopped. Cassie takes her umbrella, points it at Jake and sends a shock through the end into his shoulder. He's all, "What the hell?" but he liked it. He leaves.
It's Cassie's first day as a barista and she's not any good. Adam is watching and gives her some tips and she improves immediately. She tells Adam that witch hunters have been to her house (also that Jane is not coming home yet -- she's just tired of imposing on Diana; you know, at least they're addressing the woman's absence) and he says that he's coming over that night. He makes it light though by saying it's an excuse to be alone with her. He leaves and nods at Faye and Melissa, who are having coffee together. Faye is thrilled that Cassie is serving her. Melissa tells her to get over the fact that Jake has a thing for Cassie. Faye says that she doesn't care about Jake (that was fast -- and IMPOSSIBLE) and Melissa suggests that she concentrate on Lee, who clearly has a thing for her. Faye considers that dating below her station (I mean, she actually uses that phrase) just as Callum walks into the Java Brew. And, walks straight to their table. Don't they usually hang out at the Boathouse? Doesn't Lee (and presumably Callum) live like 45 minutes away or something? Does Chance Harbor have only two places to hang out? I'm just saying, as a person who doesn't really know them at all, it was easy for him to find them. It would have made more sense if he dropped by the table after having already picked up his frap and doughnut holes. So Callum drops by the table and invites him to a party he's having. Faye says that they're only doing coffee these days, but Melissa smiles and says that it might be fun. After he's gone, Melissa says that Callum isn't a bad guy.
