01x04 - Heather

[bunniefuu]

Previously on The Secret Circle...

My sweet Cassie,

You finding this means I'm gone,

and for that, I am so sorry.

I didn't want you to have this life.

But destiny's not easy to run from.

Hi, I'm Diana.

You seen her yet? She got in yesterday.

We're different. You're different.

You're a witch. You're a full-blooded, 100% witch.

You're here. We have real power now.

A complete circle is 6.

You complete the circle.

She's got the gift.

You can get Cassie to do what we need?

Circle will take care of that without even knowing it.

- How did you discover... - We're witches.

Diana found her mom's Book of Shadows.

She's the only one with the book?

That's the ferry that k*lled her parents.

Among the victims was Heather Barnes.

[Beep]

Heather Barnes was on the student council with Cassie's mom.

I'm sorry Heather d*ed!

Heather didn't die. What Amelia did to her

was far worse.

♪ The cloud in the sky or nothin'... ♪

Do you like this?

I just got it, but I don't know.

I like it.

Mmm.

No, no, no, no.

We're going to be late for school.

Come on. I got a better idea.

What could be better than school?

Open.

Guess we're on the same page.

Can't do magic alone, right?

Think we can do it again?

Open.

Open.

Open.

Zachary said my mother did something terrible

to Heather Barnes.

He said it was worse than death.

So, what did you find out?

After the fire, she spent two years in a psychiatric hospital.

Then she was released and just dropped off the face of the Earth.

Did she have any family?

A brother in Finn Creek.

No phone listing, but he lives close to here.

Want to go with me after school, check it out?

Yes, of course...

Wait. I can't go today.

Can't go where?

Hey, you!

Finn Creek.

Why do you wanna go to Finn Creek?

We're trying to find out what happened to Heather Barnes.

She has a brother there.

And you think he knows something?

It's worth checking out.

But I can go by myself, not a big deal.

You don't wanna do that.

Finn Creek is a sketchy area.

Adam, why don't you take her?

I can't reschedule my counselor eval.

No, it's fine. Really.

I'm fine.

Heather was in that fire 16 years ago.

Maybe she can tell us what happened to our parents.

Sure.

I'll pick you up after school?

Ok...

It's ok. Really. We're friends.

We're in this together.

Come on.

[Sighs]

I hate this binding stuff.

What's the point of being a damned witch if I can't

do any magic by myself?

I might as well become a cheerleader.

Bite your tongue.

Why can't it be fun?

Like that movie, "The Craft"?

I mean the first half, not the stuff with the snakes.

The part where we put spells on boys

and change our hair color and levitate.

We should practice later.

I'm kind of tied up...

With what? Nick?

Look, I know you like this guy.

But we both know it's not going to last.

He's a dog.

That's not true. He can be sweet.

When he wants to get into your pants.

He hits on every girl in school and you know it.

Don't be "that" pathetic girl

who thinks he'll change "for me."

They never change.

Ok, I got it. He's a loser.

I'm a loser. You feel better?

Oh, this is looking more and more like a bad idea.

We'll be ok.

What is this place?

It used to be a little fishing village

but most people moved away and this is what's left.

[Dog barking in background]

This is it.

Hi, we're looking for Wade Barnes.

Actually, we were looking for Heather Barnes.

But we know Wade lives here.

I'm Wade. What do you want with my sister?

My mother, Amelia Blake, was friends with Heather

when they were young.

[Sighs]

You knew Amelia?

I knew her.

My mother d*ed a few months ago.

I was hoping to ask Heather a few questions.

Do you know where she is?

She's right here.

Oh.

Would it be all right if we talked to her?

No. It wouldn't.

Maybe that's something Heather should decide.

You think so?

Well, then come on in.

Stop.

Ask her anything you want.

Heather?

She hasn't moved in 16 years.

What's wrong with her?

Years back there was a fire at the boat yard.

We know.

Some d*ed and some survived.

If you call this surviving.

Do the doctors know what caused it?

No one does.

She went there with your mother.

Why?

I don't know.

Of kids used to go down to that boat yard

to party and have fun.

She was a different person back then.

I'm sorry.

[Grunting] Aah!

Cassie, let's go!

Aah! [Grunting]

Heather!

[Screaming]

♪ Da, da, da, da, da ♪

♪ da, da, da, da, da ♪

♪ da-da, da-da, da-da ♪

What just happened?.

You said she hasn't moved in 16 years?

Not at all. Not a muscle.

And then you come.

What did you do?

Nothing. This didn't have anything to do with me.

Well, she grabbed your arm. Not mine and not his.

Heather?

Are you there? Hey.

Heather, it's me. Can you hear me?

Heather? It's ok.

We should go.

I'm sorry, Mr. Barnes.

I wish there was something I could do to help.

Ohh.

That scar on her arm. It's witchcraft, isn't it?

It's a Sigil. They're used for certain spells.

I've seen them before in our research.

Do you think that's what's wrong with her?

A spell?

Zachary said my mother did something

to Heather that was worse than death.

Is that what he meant?

Cassie, I don't know.

Is that why she grabbed me?

Because somehow she knew I was related?

It doesn't make sense.

Heather was her friend.

Why would she do that to a friend?

We don't know your mother did this.

No...I do know.

Where's your grandmother?

At the hospital. Working the late shift.

She's a nurse.

I know. When I was 10,

she set my arm when I broke it.

I found this.

Is that what I think it is?

My family's Book of Shadows.

I found it when I first got here.

But how?

My mother left it for me.

She wanted me to find it.

I haven't told anyone.

Can I see it?

Each of the six families has their own book,

but we've only found Diana's.

Everything we know about who we are, we got from her book.

But it's specific to her family.

Different spells, different histories.

This book is completely different.

We could learn so much from this.

The Sigil on Heather's arm... I've seen it in here.

Here.

That's my mother's handwriting.

She had to be the one to put the spell on Heather.

I need to know why.

It's a suppression spell of some kind.

Why would my mother do that?

She would never hurt someone like this.

Not the mother I knew.

I'm sorry, Cassie.

Does it say how to undo it?

Um...

Right here, I think.

I want to.

If we can undo this spell, then she can tell us what happened.

If it even works.

We have to try. You saw that woman.

If we can make her better, we have to.

♪ I can't begin to... ♪

Hey, what are you doing?

Waiting for Nick. I'm early.

Listen, I wanted to apologize about before.

If you really like Nick, then I'll get on board with it.

I promise. The last thing I'd want

is for you to think I was jealous of him.

Thanks.

Sure.

And by the way...I think Nick got here early, too.

You're a bitch.

[Scoffs]

No. I'm you're friend.

The spell requires a poultice.

And that would be?

A magic potion.

And I'm being serious.

I have most of the ingredients here except the main one.

Which is blood.

The spell maker's. Yours.

You're cool with that?

And, um...

My mom used her blood to begin with, right?

If it was her spell, she did.

Hey, can you do it?

Because I'm like petrified of needles.

Ok.

Are you going to do it, or are you just keep torturing me?

Ok.

How's that?

Hey! You're here.

Adam told me what you want to do.

Yeah, you should have seen Heather Barnes.

- We have to help her. - Are you sure you are?

We're going to undo the spell that was put on her.

I don't think it's a good idea.

What if we do it wrong?

What if it hurts her worse?

We'll be careful.

How do you even know what you're doing?

My book doesn't even tell you how to undo a spell like this.

My book does.

You have a book?

It was her mother's.

She left it for her.

It has the spell.

You're the one who always wanted to know what happened to our parents.

Maybe we can find out with the two books.

Not now, Adam. Not for this.

It's too risky.

I'm sorry, Cassie.

You can't do the spell by yourself and we can't help you.

Adam?

We can help her. You didn't see her.

What my mom did.

Please?

I'm sorry.

Maybe when we understand more.

But right now, we just don't know enough

to do something like this.

Diana.

Let me talk to her.

Hey.

You having fun out there

with your little chipee?

What are you talking about?

I saw you talking to that girl.

You mean Andrea?

Come on, Mel. We were talking.

Didn't look like you were talking to me.

So now I can't talk to girls? Is that the deal now?

You know, I was hoping maybe to get

5 minutes before you turned into a douche.

What's going on with you?

I thought things were good.

You know what? Faye was right.

You're never going to change.

Go find another slut toy.

I'm done.

What are you doing here?

Adam and Diana just left.

Why so pouty?

You wouldn't understand.

Try me.

Fine.

I want to undo a spell that could answer a lot of questions

about how our parents d*ed 16 years ago

and Diana and Adam won't help me.

Boy, did I miss a chapter.

Wait a minute, is that a Book of Shadows?

You have your own? [Gasps]

I have looked and looked for my family's book

and I can't find it.

That's enough.

Oh, come on, don't be like that.

I thought you needed help.

You're going to help me?

Sure. If you let me read your book, why not?

You need my help.

And to be honest, I have never understood

why we're not better friends.

Let's go.

You conveniently left out the haunted house part.

Yes.

Come on.

This is really creepy.

Your mother did this?

Why?

I don't know. That's what I'm hoping to find out.

I mean, seriously.

What could anyone do to deserve...

Your mother must have been one mean ass witch--

Faye. Please.

Can we just try to help her?

I'm sorry.

Let's do this.

I'm going to apply the stuff that Adam and I made

and then we'll do the chant together.

Will it work?

I have no idea.

I don't know what the spell is,

I don't know what the words mean,

I don't even know how to pronounce them.

Ok, we can do this.

You dragged me all the way out here,

so let's get to the bottom of it.

"Rongaire balorum eunarach vicit romnia."

"Rongaire balorum eunarach vicit romnia."

Again?

Rongaire balorum eunarach vicit romnia.

Rongaire balorum eunarach vicit romnia.

[Sighs]

I'm sorry.

I thought it would work.

[Door opens]

[Rustling]

Maybe we did it wrong?

Or I screwed up the potion?

Can we talk about this in the car?

Far away from here.

Thanks for trying.

I know I don't come across like I care about much...

But my dad d*ed that night.

I don't think my mom's ever gotten over it.

And I want to know what happened just as much as anyone.

I guess we're all in the same boat.

Yep, a boat full of sad witches.

So how about we go back to your place and check out the book?

Another time.

I'd say I've earned a peek, wouldn't you?

Yes.

[Squishing]

[Gasps]

Heather?

Oh, my God.

[Heather breathing heavily]

[Grunting]

Heather, what the hell's happening?

Aah!

[Dog barking in background]

[Door opens]

Waiting to catch me cheating?

I came to apologize.

I overreacted.

You think?

I saw you with that other girl and I just went off.

I'm sorry.

Yeah?

Faye was saying some things and I made the mistake of listening.

Like what?

[Sighs] It doesn't matter.

Just stupid things.

It's not like you're my boyfriend or anything,

so I don't have the right to be jealous.

Ok.

So...We're good?

Yeah. We're good.

I'm sorry for putting you in the middle

of this thing with Cassie.

I understand why you don't want to do this.

I just know how badly Cassie wants to find answers.

You know.

Well, I'm glad she didn't.

Because I went back to my book.

I knew there was something about that symbol that bugged me.

Look at this.

These are all ubilaz markings.

Uh...really old, black magic.

Demons, evil entities...Possession.

Heather was possessed?

[Inhales]

The notes here are all about using snakes and insects

as vessels for dark energy.

Forcing them inside someone.

I think the Sigils are meant to keep it from coming back out.

Like a suppression spell.

This is way beyond witchcraft.

It's seriously dark magic.

None of this was in Cassie's book.

If she'd known about this, she never would have tried the spell.

That's kinda the point I was making.

I've got to call her.

Why? She didn't do the spell.

But she still needs to know.

Ok, that's enough for today.

Oh, calm down.

Or I can take it home with me and be out of your hair.

[Sighs]

[Knock on door]

Mmm.

Will you bring me back some snacks?

No carbs.

[Gasps]

Where is Amelia?

Can you help me find Amelia?

She's not here.

How did you...

Are you ok?

I need to see her.

Amelia passed away.

No.

I'm her daughter.

Cassie.

Cassie.

You were a baby.

I tried to help her take you away.

She did.

She took me far away from here.

She wanted you to be safe.

She tried to leave that night.

What night?

Do you mean the night of the fire?

Can you tell me what happened that night?

She was trying to stop it.

She wanted to protect us.

All of us.

But it went inside me.

What did?

Evil.

And I can still feel it.

It hurts.

Aah!

Your mother couldn't get it out.

But she made the pain go away.

And now it's come back.

Ohh!

Can you please help me?

How? How can I?

[Crying]

Please...make it stop.

[Screaming]

[Line ringing]

She's not picking up.

[Vibrating]

Ugh. Voicemail.

Try again.

[Vibrating]

Ah.

Hi, sweetie.

What?

Who is this?

It's Cassie. I miss you.

Come make magic with me.

Faye?

Why is she answering Cassie's phone?

Faye, just put Cassie on.

She's downstairs.

Faye, this is important.

Oh, you sound hot. What are you wearing?

Does Diana know you're calling?

Faye, please.

What happened?

You fainted.

Is that what my mom did?

Is this how she stopped your pain?

Yes.

I went to the boat yard, but I couldn't find her.

Why was she there?

How did the fire start?

Wherever there are witches... Evil follows.

What do you mean?

They'd been summoned.

They were trying to use your mother's power.

Her and her friends.

Who was? Why?

She couldn't stop them all.

And one of them got inside me.

One what?

Heather, please, tell me who she was trying to stop.

Demons.

[Breathing heavily]

Heather!

[Growling]

Hey, Cassie, dream boat's on the phone...

Desperate for you.

Cassie?

Aah!

Aah!

Faye?

Help! Oh, God.

Aah!

[Screaming]

[Grunting]

Aah!

Faye!

Faye? Wait.

Aah!

[Grunting]

Aah! Aah!

[Screaming]

Cassie: Come on!

Come on, run!

[Screaming]

Back door.

Front door. Run.

[Screaming]

It's me. What's going on?

Look behind you!

Aah!

Uh!

Aah!

Heather.

Heather! Heather, it's me.

[Tires screeching]

She came out of nowhere.

[Police radio chatter]

We have to take the body now, Mr. Barnes.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Barnes.

She's at peace now.

I'm glad you're ok.

I am pretty far from ok.

At least I'm alive. Thanks.

Come on. I'll give you a ride home.

No thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow.

I'm sorry you had to go through this.

I still don't even get what happened really.

One minute she was talking to me and then...

I found the Sigil your mother used to suppress

the demon in my Book of Shadows.

A demon?

That's what Heather said. How can there be demons?

I just know we have to be careful.

There's too much we don't understand.

What was I thinking?

Taking any of this on without knowing anything?

You need answers. We all do.

I understand. But after this,

we just have to be careful how we get them.

We should go, Adam.

My dad's going to worry.

You're ok?

Yeah.

♪ Oh, oh... ♪

You were pretty impressive back there.

Thanks.

So, are you staying over?

Yeah, if it's ok.

I'm never going to be the guy you want me to be.

Is that a warning or a thr*at?

I'm going to disappoint you.

You deserve better.

That's the sweetest thing you've ever said to me.

I'm not disappointed.

♪ I think I'm coming down ♪

♪ I think I'm comin' down... ♪

[Knock on door]

Hey.

Where's Diana?

I took her home.

She knows you're here?

No.

I wanted to be sure you're ok.

And I thought you might need some help cleaning up.

That's what friends do, right?

You got a broom?

Sure.

I'm a witch.

So, how many times did Diana say, "I told you so?"

Not once.

Until right when she was walking inside her house.

Hey, I'm glad you found out your mom

was trying to do the right thing.

Me, too.

But Diana was right.

I was so determined to find out about her,

I put us all in danger.

No, you were right.

Maybe we didn't go about it the right way,

but a maniac came after us at the dance.

And tonight, a demon.

A demon.

We need to know what happened 16 years ago.

Our lives depend on it.

I'm not sure Diana agrees.

Well, I agree.

You do?

After tonight? Yeah.

What's out there is a lot bigger than any of us ever thought.

Thanks.
