-[♪ tense music playing]
-[Alexander] Time's up, Jake.

-[grunts]
-[Alexander grunts]

I've had enough of vampires
tonight, okay? Back off!

-[grunts, yells]
-[Jake grunts]

-You broke the truce...
-[grunts]

...sicced your warlock friend on me,

-and expect me to ignore it?
-[grunts]

No one does that and walks away. [growls]

-[groans, grunts]
-[Alexander grunts]

[grunts]

Where are you going, Jake?
Huh? Scared of a fair fight

without someone else
watching your back?

-Get out of my way, Alexander.
-The problem with your kind?

You think your magic
makes you better than us?

No, we're better than you
because we have a pulse.

[hisses]

Testem incendo. [grunts]

[♪ intense music playing]

[grunts]

Wait, wait, what are you doing?

Moira & Claire "No Hesitation"]

-Hey. You want some company?
-Mm-hmm.

♪ If you said
"Hey let's try again" ♪

♪ I would say yes with no hesitation,
If you said... ♪

-[sighs] I hate crying.
-Yeah, so do I.

But I also, sometimes, I don't know,

it feels kind of good.
Which is probably weird.

[chuckles] Don't worry,
you're my kind of weird.

[chuckles]

I'm so sorry, Bri.
Holidays are the hardest.

I know that.

[breathes deeply] I thought finding out

who k*lled my mom
would make everything easier,

but no, it's the opposite.

I have so many questions.
Why did Miss Graves do it?

I mean, why did
she let me into Crescent Veil?

Why did she save me from Tamora?

-I wish I had answers for you.
-[breathes deeply] Same.

But... sometimes,

-answers just come with time.
-[sniffles]

♪ ...I would say yes
with no hesitation... ♪

You know what I'm really thankful for?

Hmm?

Having you two right next to me
knowing you're never gonna leave.

[♪ music concludes]

[Emma] We have to get out
of here before the Solstice,

or William's gonna do
what he couldn't do before.

That would be disastrous.
Witches and warlocks would die.

Some already have.

It might be the reason
why he's keeping me alive.

To use me somehow
as part of his twisted plan.

I took a sacred oath
to protect those children.

-[Peter] Hey.
-And I let them down.

No, no. No one cares

about Crescent Veil more than you do.

-[♪ soft music playing]
-No one could have done better.

You've always been
so kind to me.

Yeah, well...

you mean a lot to me.

I probably should have
told you that before, huh?

I'm glad you're telling me now.

[sighs] Sorry about my brother.

Well, at least
it wasn't a boring Thanksgiving.

[chuckles softly]

At dinner, when the glass fell,
why didn't you use your magic?

Well, uh, the last time I used my magic,
I ended up in a coma.

So I... I guess
I'm just kind of scared.

-It's stupid, I know.
-It's not stupid at all.

I'd... I'd do it again.

I mean, Briar needed
to go back to that night.

I... I just didn't know
this would happen.

You care so much about everyone else,

but you need to take care of you, too.

You're being nice.

[sighs] I was listening to this

How to Be a Better Human podcast.

[chuckles]

I'm trying to make better choices.

Would you, um, I don't know,

would you maybe want to get
coffee with me sometime?

I could use more friends.
The, uh, podcast said

people can never have
enough friends, and--

Can it be decaf? [chuckles]

-It can be decaf.
-[♪ gentle music playing]

[chuckles]

Having me in your home, that can't be...

easy for you and Sasha.

Briar says you're different.
I can see that.

Thank you. Uh...

I appreciate that more than you know.

-[Elodie] [gasps]
-[♪ tense music playing]

Excuse me, Ollie.

Hope you didn't get too bored without me.

-[gasps]
-Oh. Ollie, what's wrong?

[breathes shakily]
I'm sorry, Briar. I have to go.

Why? No. Is it about Jake?
He already left.

-I'll call you later.
-[♪ gentle music playing]

-[door closing]
-[sighs]

[♪ brooding music playing]

Peter, what are you doing?

These wards aren't undefeatable.

If I engage them, they'll surge into me

and give you a chance to escape.

No. It could k*ll you.

Hey. I once said I'd go to battle for you.

This is my chance.

-Peter, no. You can't.
-I'll be okay.

All right? I'll be fine.

-[sighs]
-[Peter] Come here.

-[dark energy rumbling]
-[groans]

[gasps]

[pants, groans]

[Emma pants] Peter! Peter?

-[breathes heavily]
-[pants]

Hurry, before he comes back.
[breathes heavily]

-[sobs]
-[♪ somber music playing]

No. No.

[sobbing]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

I can't believe your mom kept all this.

This is nothing compared
to her stash of baby stuff.

[Tegan chuckles]

Guys, check it out.

There they are. At the Covening Ceremony.

Adorbs.

[Briar] Winter Solstice, 1998.

This is the night
that they were talking about.

Something happened.

Something that made
Graves want to k*ll her coven.

[gasps] Look!
Miss Graves is casting a spell.

Okay, standard witch stuff.

[Tegan] Here.

-And here again.
-Here as in?

[sighs] The spell that k*lled your mom,

the k*ller used their left hand.

You don't use your wrong hand
to m*rder someone, right?

It-- I can't unsee it.

Graves is right-handed
in every single photo.

Exactly my point.

So, wait, if Graves
didn't k*ll your mom...

who did?

Jake, what is it?

Um... I have no one else to talk to.

-Just breathe. What happened?
-I let... I let it take over.

The dark magic. Um...

[breathes shakily]

I k*lled Alexander,
but I di... I didn't mean to.

Um, I just--
I lo... I lost control.

Uh, that... that's not... that's not...
that's not who I am.

Hey, you didn't lose control.
You protected yourself.

You did the right thing.

Did you not hear what I just said?

-I, I k*lled someone.
-A vampire.

-It was him or you.
-[♪ tense music playing]

Have a seat.

I could have portalled out of there.

I... I didn't have to k*ll him.

Demonic creatures, vampires,
swamp demons, werewolves,

they're all the same.

They have no conscience.
They will keep coming for you.

Just like they came after your father.

[gulps] My father, what do you...

-What are you talking about?
-[♪ soft music playing]

He was a warlock
from an ancient bloodline.

He was raised right here
in New Orleans in a loving home.

When he was 13,
a pack of werewolves attacked,

you know, looking for a quick k*ll.

His little sister was the first to go.

His father, your grandfather,
he tried to protect her

using every form
of light magic imaginable.

Spells, incantations,
enchantments,

but... [breathes deeply]
...it wasn't enough.

What happened?

They were massacred, all of them.

Except your father.

He managed to escape

with the scars to tell the story.

By k*lling that monster tonight,
Jake, you honored your lineage.

You've made your father proud.

How do you know
all this stuff about my dad?

[♪ brooding music playing]

Those are from a werewolf.

You didn't just hear the story.

I lived it.

If Miss Graves didn't k*ll
your mom and Tamora,

then who did I see in the time jump?

It must have been a shapeshifter.

The real k*ller disguised themselves.

Then it's gotta be a warlock.

A warlock that wanted
to frame Miss Graves.

-[loud thud]
-[♪ tense music playing]

[breathes shakily] Girls, I...
I'm not here to hurt you.

-We made a mistake, Miss Graves.
-Yeah. We're so sorry.

Briar... I loved your mother.

-I would never hurt her.
-I know. I believe you.

I know who the k*ller is.
And he's inside Crescent Veil.
