01x11 - Fire/Ice

[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.

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

A complete circle is 6.

You complete the circle.

You have evil blood, dark magic.

You can't control it.

We can all figure this out together.

Don't!

I want to be a real witch instead of

this "spell by committee" thing.

"Lee Lebeque."

Can I help you?

- We need help with a spell. - I know what you are.

You're a witch.

Grandma Kate, this is my friend Cassie Blake.

Amelia's daughter.

You are also your father's child.

You know about him.

The darkness took him over.

Can I stop it?

There's a spell. What is this?

Elderberry.

A death tree?

You have to die. No.

Get me out of here!

What have you done, mother?

She's John Blackwell's daughter.

I had to find out how powerful her magic was.

Let me out!

You're in the same position as you were when I woke up.

Well, I...I know there is something in here about my father.

After what happened with your grandmother,

I just...I want to learn as much about him as I can.

I'm not sure looking into all that is the best idea.

Maybe you should stay as far away

from dark magic as you can.

Jake said understanding where it comes from

is what can help me control it.

I don't think you should take Jake's advice on anything.

He's still a part of the circle.

We need him.

What if he never comes back?

We won't be as strong,

but we'll still be better off.

Jake was a witch hunter.

And even if he started to question that,

in the end, he chose to leave with them.

Maybe a little distraction could be a good thing.

I'm helping out with the fire and ice winter dance.

You're coming, right?

Uh, yeah.

I guess so.

Here's my issue.

I love this dress,

but we can only wear red or white.

Ok.

Want to try changing the color?

Together?

Uh-huh.

Ok. You get that end.

All right.

Uh, let's go white.

No? Red?

Mmm, yes. Good choice.

Now this is a good use of our ancient gifts.

I know, right? Ok.

Stitch, thread, and seam, change from blue to red.

Change from blue to red.

That was me.

# Da, da, da, da, da

# da, da, da, da, da

# da-da, da-da, da-da

-Dad. - Yeah?

I just brought in the steelhead delivery.

- I'm heading out. - Adam, wait.

I gotta get to school.

I, uh, volunteered to chaperone at the dance tonight,

help out.

Ah.

Now, you know they don't serve alcohol

at these high school dances, right?

I haven't had a drink in a little while,

couple weeks.

Well, I hope you stay with it.

That's the plan.

Adam.

I can't change the things I said to Diana

about you and Cassie,

but I promise

I never meant to hurt you.

I know.

Diana, she's... she thinks I need

to figure out my feelings for Cassie.

Do you...

Have feelings for Cassie?

Yes.

I felt a connection between us the first moment we met.

Maybe that's just because you planted

this ridiculous destiny idea into my head.

Heh. Maybe.

But I think you'd know the difference.

Cassie, I wouldn't worry about it.

Sometimes spells just go wrong.

And now I have a good excuse to buy a new dress.

Yeah, but we were doing circle magic,

and then my dark magic took over.

What if I'm never able to do a spell again

without something bad happening?

You don't know that.

It could have been a fluke.

Wish I believed that.

Hey.

Hey, guys.

How's it going?

Actually I was thinking

I need some nice, normal school activities to throw myself into.

Hmm.

Any chance you need help with the dance tonight?

Yeah. That'd be great.

How's Holden?

He went back to school.

I'm really gonna miss him.

You're kidding.

I was gonna ask him to the dance.

I guess I'm going solo.

- I'm going alone, too. - Me, three.

We should all go together,

make a girls night out of it.

Or a girls night out and Faye, if she wants to come.

I can't quite picture that, but I'm in.

What is it?

Probably nothing. I'll, um...

I'll meet you inside.

Hey. What's up, man?

Oh. Uh, sorry.

Still haven't got the hang of it?

And the day just keeps getting better.

I just wanted to tell you

that the final setup for the dance starts at 3:00.

And you think I care, why?

Because your mom signed you up

for the decoration committee.

Hilarious.

# And the first time

# was the second time

# you let him into your heart... #

Hey. Hey.

How you holding up?

You mean after I was almost buried alive?

Yeah, that.

My father is the key to this.

I have to find out who he was.

How?

Well, he lived in town for a while, right?

He d*ed here.

There must be a death certificate,

police report, something. It's...

it's a start.

City records.

Right.

Do you want some company?

Sure.

# And the first time

# was the second time

# you let him into your heart #

# And the second time

# was the last time

# and then

# and then it fell apart

# it's never gonna work out #

Stalker much?

Yeah, actually.

I've been watching you, your little friends.

So I guess you and Melissa aren't the only

teen witches in town, huh?

What are you talking about?

Oh, you know, blondie, emo boy, girl scout.

Eclectic circle you got going.

I think the voodoo has gone to your head.

And I think you lost your magic

after you bound your circle.

See? I told you.

I can help you.

You should go.

Last time I was in your garage,

I broke some of your toys.

Hate to see something happen to your car.

A birth certificate? Really?

Plus photo I.D. I can get you

any public records from the back,

but all personal information was digitized,

and without proof that you're related

to the person you're researching,

I can't give you access.

Well, that's fair enough.

Uh, but, hey, while we're here,

maybe you could help me with something else.

My dad owns the boathouse restaurant

down at sunset marina. Sure.

I know the place.

Well, our neighbors are being sticklers

about us taking down a tree,

and so my dad wanted me to check the property lines.

That, I can help you with.

Give me a minute.

Take your time.

What are you doing?

Get on the computer. I'll keep an eye out.

There's nothing...

no date of birth, nothing about the boatyard fire,

no police report, no coroner's report,

not even a date of death.

Search for tax information,

medical records, an obituary.

If he d*ed here, there has to be something.

Wait.

There's a deed under his name...

residence, 7 Briar Hill.

7 Briar Hill?

My God.

What?

I have to show you something. Come on.

What are we doing here?

I can't believe your dad lived here.

How did you guys end up here?

There was a map in Diana's Book of Shadows

that showed the confluence of energy points

in Chance Harbor.

It brought us to these woods.

It's supposed to be where magic is at its strongest.

There's gotta be something of his left behind.

Wait.

I remember throwing some stuff in the basement.

Show me.

It's all just junk.

Maybe we should just go.

You know what I mean? Come back tomorrow

and check it all out with fresh eyes.

You go. I wanna look around a little more.

How 'bout I pick you up later at your house?

Maybe we could go to the fire and ice thing together.

I...I think we should take separate cars.

Cassie...

Well, I don't want it to seem like we're together together.

That could hurt Diana.

Diana has made it clear that she's moving on...

Like I should be doing.

I am sure it is not that simple for her.

She has been there for me since the day that I got here.

I am lucky just to know someone like her,

let alone have her as a friend. I...

I can't do anything to jeopardize that friendship.

And what if you and I really are meant to be together?

I can't think about that.

It's funny, 'cause these days,

I can't think about anything else.

How mini Martha Stewart of you.

I think it's kind of fun.

Are you really going to the dance with Diana?

And Cassie. You should come.

Oh, I wouldn't want to ruin your power trio.

Besides, I'm busy trying to get my solo magic back.

Lee claims he can help.

Creepy fake voodoo guy?

He's a scam artist.

Or maybe he's not.

His grandpa was some big, bad voodoo king.

And he is cute.

In a serial k*ller living in his mom's basement kind of way.

And I should care about your opinion

because your taste in men is so good?

Up or down?

Tough call.

Down brings out your eyes.

Up shows off that neck and your cleavage.

Up it is, then.

Remember when we used to do this all the time,

play dress-up in your room?

Steal my mom's clothes from the attic.

Your dad got so mad the first time

he caught us putting on makeup.

What happened?

To us being friends?

Faye, I guess.

But we still did things together for a while.

Then came Adam.

Right.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

Where have you been? The dance starts in, like, an hour.

The abandoned house.

That symbol was carved into

the ceiling of the basement,

I think by my father.

Why would you think that?

Because he lived there.

What?

Your father lived at our abandoned house?

Apparently, but the weirdest part

is I'm positive I've seen the symbol before.

Here.

That's weird.

The symbol your dad drew is in your mom's family book. Why?

What does it mean?

No idea.

Oh, there's a page missing.

These lines continue onto the missing page.

I bet there's more about the symbol on it.

But I've combed through this book a thousand times.

I would have noticed a missing page.

Must have been ripped out recently.

How?

Who else has had the book besides you?

Faye.

You're kidding.

Why are you looking at me?

You think I'm Faye's keeper?

It had to be here. There's no one else.

You cleaned up the place.

Yeah.

Next time you want to trash my garage,

give me a heads-up

so I can hide the expensive stuff.

You know none of this is expensive.

What?

We both know why you're here.

Ok, fine.

Say I'm in a circle.

What's that got to do with me getting my own magic?

Everything.

I took a closer look at the spell you gave me.

This is old-school voudon

designed to extract dark magic.

Extract?

Like an exorcism.

Only, instead of casting out demons,

it pulls the dark magic out of people.

Or in your case, witches.

I can take that magic and put it into you.

Listening.

Well, if this book is from someone in your circle,

then the odds are that their bloodline

has the dark magic we need.

Whose is it?

Emo kid's?

The little blonde one, Cassie.

Really?

I guess you can't judge a book by its lip gloss.

She doesn't even want her power.

So let's take it.

But you should know...

Dark magic can turn on you.

Are you ready to take that risk?

So if this spell takes away Cassie's dark magic,

what do I have to do to get it? Stick pins in a little Cassie doll?

Better. After her magic's out,

we tether it to you.

Tether.

Not some mind-meld thing, is it?

Because I do not want to be stuck in that girl's head.

Tethering links your energies.

Can you really do this?

That depends on you.

I don't have the power that my grandparents did,

but with your magic, can make it happen.

Does it hurt?

It shouldn't.

What about Cassie?

She won't feel a thing.

She doesn't even have to be in the room.

Somewhere nearby.

And that's it?

We need something first,

something Cassie has an emotional connection to.

Can you get that?

Of course.

But what do you get out of it?

I told you. I'm just the guide.

Right, and I'm just Glinda the good witch.

You're not a "something for nothing" kind of guy.

Let's just say I'll ask you for a favor someday.

You're not getting laid.

When we have sex, it's not gonna be because of a deal.

So are you in?

Speak of the devil.

Cassie?

You ripped a page out of my book, didn't you?

- What book? - Don't play dumb, Faye.

You're the only one I ever lent it to.

One little page.

From my mother's book. You had no right to steal it.

Right. You're the victim.

Poor Cassie.

"I steal boyfriends."

Poor Cassie.

"I almost k*lled Adam."

Poor Cassie.

I am so sick of you and your jealousy.

Stop being pathetic, Faye.

Just give back the page.

Fine.

Are you going to the dance tonight?

Yes.

Well, I wasn't going to,

but seeing as you obviously can't live without

your precious page,

meet me there.

# All day, all night

# I got the lights in my eyes #

# and I'm falling for you

# keep cool, stay tough

# but that's never enough

# and these are the lessons in love... #

This'll be fun, right?

Right. You're here with 2 other

incredibly hot single girls.

When you put it like that...

I'll be right back.

Hey, Mr. Conant.

Oh, hey, Cassie.

You having a good time?

Yeah. Thanks. You?

Actually, yeah.

I haven't been to one of these things in a while.

Do you mind if I ask you about my father?

Just no one else seems willing to talk about him.

I may have given you the wrong idea.

I know you didn't like him.

That fire that he d*ed in...

That so many people d*ed in...

Did he have anything to do with that?

Cassie...

This is not a road you want to go down.

It doesn't matter who he was.

You didn't answer my question.

I need to know.

What if I'm just like him?

No.

He didn't start the fire.

And you're not defined by your parents.

It's your own actions that matter.

I am gonna find out who he was one way or another.

It's not what your mother would want.

Probably not,

but she doesn't have a say anymore.

Thanks.

# ...lessons in love

# all day, all night

# I got the lights in my eyes #

# I wanted money

# 'cause money don't lie... #

You still miss him?

Maybe.

A little.

Ecch.

Mm, I get it.

No matter what advice anyone gives,

the idea of just moving on...

Is impossible.

No.

Not impossible.

We can't think that way.

We're witches, damn it.

We can get whoever we want, right?

You mean with magic?

No, because we're tough...

And we're witchy...

And we're dressed kind of slutty.

You know what?

You're right.

We're all of those things.

I think you need to take the initiative

if you want to dance with a guy.

Everyone thinks you and Adam are still together.

Who would I ask?

Dream big. Start at the absolute top of the list.

# You can see right through me... #

Aaron Wegner's cute.

But I've never really talked to him.

No time like the present.

Come on, Diana.

We're hot witches.

You said so yourself.

Ahh.

# Ice, ice, ice, ice... #

# Ice, ice, ice, ice #

# ice, ice, ice, ice

# I'm ice, ice, ice, ice

# ice, ice, ice, ice

You sure they don't have a silent alarm?

You know, you're pretty jumpy for a voodoo priest.

I never said I was a voodoo priest.

That's what it says on your stupid website.

Let's get out of here before I choke on all the girly.

Voilà.

Perfect.

Let's go.

Turn off the flashlight.

I thought I saw something move in the other window.

Uh...

You know, you're pretty jumpy for a witch.

# Check it out, uhh

# yeah, yeah

# from the moment when we met, I was breathless #

# and not asbestos breathless either... #

How did you learn how to dance like this?

My big sister got married last year, made me take lessons.

I'm glad it paid off.

# ...dreams with a kiss on the hand #

# what up? # little magnificent missing a man #

# ran away, like kids to a van, shyeah #

# gorgeous, walking on water #

# sort of like Erin McNaught, but little shorter #

# wore a pandora, bought her a charm #

# wasn't short of a thought, wore a Paul on her arm #

2 triangles will draw Cassie's power to you.

So what? Do I chant or something?

No.

Just have to feel it.

Hey.

Do you want to steal Cassie Blake's power or not?

Ok, let's do this.

# Andale, andale

# then break your door, but come running back #

# baby, I want you back, but don't call me that... #

Adam.

Hey.

Have you seen Faye?

No. Why, are you trying to avoid her?

Uh, no.

I, um...I found a symbol in the house's basement

that matched a symbol in my Book of Shadows

next to a page that she ripped out.

What symbol?

# Gotta let your hair down

# girl, gotta let your hair down #

# why we trying?

# We ain't goin' nowhere now... #

I saw this in "Spellcraft."

It's a symbol used for channeling dark magic.

Your body is a channel of energy.

You have 5 major energy points along the spine.

It feels like...

No talking.

Fire and ice...

It's a great theme.

"Some say the world will end in fire.

Some say in ice."

Robert Frost.

Which way do you think the world will end?

Actually he was talking about the end of a relationship.

I saw you dancing.

You seemed like you were having fun.

Yes, I was.

I'm glad.

Really, I mean it.

I get it.

Who knows what happens down the road?

But right now is just not our time.

Right.

I think it's everyone else

who's having a hard time dealing with our breakup.

What do you mean?

People are so used to us being a couple

that it's hard to adjust.

For who?

Well, for Cassie.

She wouldn't even accept a ride from me tonight

because she was afraid that you'd get the wrong idea.

That's stupid, right?

There's no reason I shouldn't be able to give her a ride.

Of course not.

Eh, then maybe I should talk to her.

Yeah.

I mean, that would...

Simplify things,

rides and whatever.

Yeah. Then I will...

Talk to her.

Thanks.

Have fun tonight.

Give me the necklace.

You are now open to receiving Cassie's energy.

You'll be tethered to her through this.

I can feel it.

It's done.

# Ohh, whoa, whoa, whoa

# ohh, whoa, whoa

# ohh, whoa, whoa, whoa

# ohh, whoa, whoa

# ohh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Whoa.

# Ohh, whoa, whoa

You all right?

You don't look so good.

I don't feel good either.

You want to sit down?

Yeah. Let me throw some water on my face.

# They wanna get my

Lock unlock.

# They wanna get my

# gold on the ceiling

# I ain't blind

# just a matter of time 'fore you steal it... #

Watch it.

Don't stand in the way.

# It's all right

# ain't no blood in my eye

Look who's coming.

Little miss powerless.

There's no way she knows that we took it, right?

You're asking me?

Did you bring the page?

Oh, the page.

No. I forgot.

I'm sorry.

Anything else?

Wow. You just can't stop being a bitch, can you?

That girl is all ice, no fire.

# Sometimes I just wanna... #

Are you Ok?

I just keep getting these dizzy spells.

What the hell?

W-what's going on?

Faye.

What?

Here. Take her.

Ok. I got her. I got her. Here.

Hey, you're doing this, aren't you?

Why do you have solo magic?

If you must know, I borrowed some of yours.

What? That page of yours

was a spell to extract dark magic.

And since you have more than you can handle,

I didn't think you'd mind sharing.

Are you wearing my necklace?

Ripping a page out of my book, that is one thing.

Ripping away my magic, Faye, that's just stupid.

You're messing with power none of us understand.

You can't stand seeing someone else

do magic by themselves, can you?

Something was wrong with Melissa,

now Adam and Diana.

Whatever you did, it is not affecting me.

It's hurting the rest of the circle.

# It's just another memory to stay #

# everything's come out of place #

# far away from...

You said Cassie would be the only one.

You said she'd barely feel it.

Maybe her magic's too strong to steal this way.

Reverse the spell.

Hey, you wanted this.

What did you expect?

Power doesn't come cheap.

Besides, did you see yourself in there?

Fire and ice. You... you're an artist.

That's my circle in there.

Tell me how to stop it, or I'll use this power

to turn your life into a living hell.

You know, you talk a good game,

but inside, you're just another scared debutante.

Too bad, but it's your choice.

Drop the necklace in the oil.

Then light it on fire.

That will sever the connection.

And everything will go back to the way it was?

It should work.

Stay calm. Stay calm.

Stay calm.

Go. Get out of here.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Faster, people! Faster!

Hey!

Wait. Where's Melissa?

I don't know.

Melissa.

Melissa, get up!

Ohh.

Did you do this, bring me out here?

No.

No, the...

the last thing I remember, I was on the floor,

and then somebody walked in.

I saw their boots.

M-maybe a fireman.

I don't think so.

We could have d*ed.

Do you know how the fire started?

I have a pretty good idea.

I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt.

We're lucky to be alive, Faye.

You actually tried that stupid spell?

Don't play innocent, Melissa.

You were there when I took it out of her book.

I know I should have said something,

but I didn't want to betray Faye.

I'm sorry, Ok?

You could have b*rned down the school.

You tried to steal my power.

You keep whining about how much you don't want your dark magic.

I was doing you a favor.

You could have destroyed the circle.

When I realized what was happening,

I reversed the spell.

This isn't the first time

you almost k*lled someone

and the rest of us have had to clean it up.

Are you kidding me?

Cassie releases a demon

that ends up k*lling Nick.

Then she brings Jake into the circle,

and it turns out he's a witch hunter,

and then she almost chokes Adam to death with her mind,

yet I'm the evil one.

Those things were accidents.

Like I tried to hurt anyone on purpose.

I just wanted a little indie magic to play with.

Miss innocent here is full of dark magic,

evil magic.

How does this bitch get a free pass,

and I get b*rned at the stake?

Forget it. Screw you guys.

Adam!

I lost track of you.

Thank God you're Ok.

I'm fine, Dad. I'm fine.

Fire marshal says he's never seen anything like it.

Yeah. It's weird.

Thanks for the ride.

You Ok?

I don't know.

I know this is gonna sound dumb,

but I feel bad for Faye.

We were kind of harsh.

Melissa...

You could have d*ed tonight because of her.

I know.

But...

Look, she's a little wrapped up in herself.

Everyone knows that. It's just...

She's your friend.

She is.

She just has her own way of showing it.

Must sound pretty pathetic to you.

Not at all.

It's hard thinking someone you've been close to

is drifting away.

I'm worried Faye is doing more than drifting.

Lately the only thing she thinks about is power.

She's starting to scare me.

To be honest, Cassie's starting to scare me, too.

She can't seem to control her dark magic,

and it's getting more powerful.

What happened to your little circle pals?

I'm done with them.

But...

Not with me.

Not yet.

Are you here to pay me back?

For the spell?

It didn't work.

I got you magic, didn't I?

The circle's magic, not Cassie's.

That's not my problem.

I still got you power.

You were the one who gave it back.

You think you got me, too, don't you?

Not yet.

I barely knew this basement existed,

and suddenly it's the busiest room in the place.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You said this symbol is used to channel dark magic.

It's part of the spell that Faye used to try and take away mine.

What if my dad was trying to take away his own dark magic?

You are not him.

You don't need to do this.

I burnt Diana's dress this morning,

almost k*lled you last week.

Whatever this is, I don't want it inside me.

It is too dangerous.

Didn't we learn that lesson from Faye's

mind-bogglingly stupid behavior tonight?

Maybe she didn't do it right.

It's not worth the risk.

There has to be another way.

Come on. Give me the spell.

I mean it.

Give me the spell.

Your destiny is important to me.

# La, da, da, da, da
