Coven Academy (2026) s01e11 Episode Script

Tha… that was the night I turned.
-[Jake] Mm-hmm.
-Fledging vampires
can't control their hunger.
They have to feed to survive.
I mean, that looked like a lot
more than just feeding.
You killed someone.
I… I was a monster,
but… but after that night,
I vowed never to drink
human blood again, and I haven't.
Mm. Not yet.
But we both know
you're only one slip up away
from becoming that monster again.
-[Ollie] I won't slip up.
-What if you do?
An… and what if… what if
Briar's there when it happens?
[moody pop music playing,
Maeve "Sick"]
I would never hurt Briar.
[Jake] There's only one way
to guarantee that.
Stay away from her.
For your own good. And for hers.
Why is this any of your business?
Do you like Briar or something?
I like her alive.
But Briar's my friend.
And I swear…
if I see you anywhere
near her ever again…
I will show her
what you're really capable of.
Is that a threat?
I really don't think
you want to threaten me.
[Alexander] Oh, look who's here.
-I was… just leaving.
-[tense music playing]
-[Jake clears throat]
-[Alexander grunts]
Not anymore.
If this is…
if this is about that money…
Look, there were
extenuating circumstances.
The missing girls.
This isn't about the fake money.
This is about respect.
Mm-hmm.
You humiliated me, warlock.
[inhales deeply] Broke the terms
of our agreement.
I can't let that go.
[music builds]
[music concludes]
[jazzy music playing live]
So, what is it?
What is the one thing
that'll save New Orleans?
It's us. Our coven.
We haven't been a coven
in a very long time.
When we were… we conquered
every dark foe we encountered.
We were unstoppable. And we can be again.
I'd have to abandon my life
in New York. What about Briar?
[Tamora] She could enroll
in Crescent Veil.
Wait, has she shown any signs yet?
A month ago. [sighs]
She's… cracked windows,
broken light bulbs,
-little things I could cover up.
-Cover up? Why?
[Ms. Graves]
Why haven't you told Briar the truth?
I mean, she deserves
to know who she is, where she comes from.
I'm not sure I want to raise her
in this world.
-[scoffs]
-[jazzy music fades out]
[Mary] Secrets drove me away
the first time.
-[brooding music playing]
-So, if you expect me to come back,
I have one condition.
We have to come clean to the council
about what happened that night in '98.
-You don't mean--
-Winter solstice.
The winter formal?
Yeah, with…
with dancing and ice sculptures.
It's… it's a whole vibe.
So, why are they acting
like it's a funeral?
Look, I don't see the point
in dredging up the past.
-What's done is done.
-[Tamora] Emma, hear her out.
Maybe she's right.
If we come out with this,
I could lose everything.
My job, my reputation,
my ability to protect Crescent Veil.
I mean, th… those students
are my whole world.
Shouldn't their head of school
lead them with honesty?
-Really, Mary?
-[tense music playing]
Because you haven't told the truth
the entire time to Briar.
I'll come clean when you do first.
-Mary, wait, please.
-I'll think about what you said.
I have to go.
[music builds]
[Tegan breathes heavily]
Tegan, are you okay?
[breathes heavily] I'm just…
just a little lightheaded.
Exactly how much magical energy
does it take
to keep all three of us in the past?
[Briar] Maybe we should go back.
I don't want you
to push yourself too hard.
I can handle this. I-- [hesitates]
We're so close to solving this mystery.
-Don't you guys want that too?
-We do, but--
It shouldn't be too much longer, right?
-Right.
-[Tegan] Then it's settled.
Come on, before we lose sight
of Briar's mom.
[sighs]
-[line ringing]
-[Mary] Briar, please. Pick up.
[street chattering]
[Mary] Call me.
Oh, she's trying to reach me again.
Why didn't I just pick up?
Don't beat yourself up.
You were on a date.
Cute boys have a way
of making us go crazy.
[food sizzling]
Hey, hey, wa… wait up!
-Jake?
-Last year's Jake.
You can tell by his pants.
We're way past that trend.
Is that…
-Okay, I think we should-- Yeah.
-Oh.
You guys dated?
Why did I not know about this?
It's ancient history.
We only dated for a few months last year.
A few months-- So, this was a thing?
-Oh, yes.
-Oh, no.
Remember my mantra?
Jake is always a mistake.
Why? What did he do?
-Sorry, why does this matter?
-It doesn't. I just…
I thought we had a "no secrets" policy?
It's not a secret. It just never came up.
Because you're into Ollie.
Not Jake, right?
Right. Obviously.
[Tegan] Guys, can we maybe
unpack this later?
Mary's on the move again.
[mysterious music playing]
-[brooding music playing over speakers]
-Keep the demon inside me ♪
[Jake grunts]
[scoffs] You really think
you can outrun me?
-That's precious.
-Step aside, Alexander.
Or what?
[grunts, groans]
[cracks]
Okay, cool. Can we just talk this out?
I'm done talking. [hisses]
-Mr. Cole?
-[speaks Latin]
[whooshing]
[grunts]
[clamor]
[Jake gasps]
-We have to leave. Now.
-[Jake laughs]
[music concludes]
-[pants, laughs]
-[Peter in English] You okay?
Yeah, yeah, thanks to you.
That… that… that…
that was… that was incredible.
See, if you… if you
wouldn't have shown up, then… then… then--
[breathes heavily]
Wait, why… why did you show up?
-Did Dylan send you?
-Dylan? No.
After our talk earlier,
I had a sneaking suspicion
you'd try something reckless.
What… what were you thinking, huh?
I… I wasn't. Okay? I'm more of a doer.
-[breathes deeply]
-Is it about Briar?
I was trying to protect her.
Emphasis on "trying."
-[Peter sighs]
-But I… I felt powerless
fighting that… that bloodsucker.
Without knowing more dark magic, you were.
Will you teach me?
The kind of dark spells
that can do real damage to the enemy.
[suspenseful instrumental music playing]
I never want to feel that weak again.
You never will.
[Jake inhales deeply]
[shaky breathing]
-[line ringing]
-[suspenseful music fades]
-[voicemail signal beeps]
-[Mary] Hey, Bug, it's me again.
I know this voicemail by heart.
I know you're still mad
about this morning.
It's the last one she ever sent me.
[Mary] To be honest, I am too.
I nearly lost a hand
when you slammed the door on me.
But none of that matters, okay?
There's something urgent
I need to tell you. I…
[sighs] You know what?
It's something we should talk
about face-to-face.
So, when you get this, come home.
Please.
[delicate music playing]
I love you. You know that, right?
-I know.
-[Mary] Okay.
-[shaky breathing]
-Bye, Bug.
Bye, Mom.
[sniffles, exhales deeply]
[exhales deeply]
-[steady footsteps approaching]
-[music turns suspenseful]
-Someone's coming.
-[Tegan] The killer?
It has to be. My mom's body was found
right after she sent me that message.
I don't know if I can watch,
but I have to know who did this to her.
T, are you okay?
I don't feel too hot.
[gasps]
[music intensifies]
-[music stops]
-[pants]
What happened?
Where did everybody go?
We're back in the present.
[pants softly]
Why didn't Tegan come with us?
[sighs] She said the time jump
was draining her energy.
I think it was too much effort
keeping us in the past too.
-[breathes heavily]
-[discordant music playing]
[distorted, muffled speech]
[music turns ominous]
-[gasps]
-[crunching]
[hyperventilates]
-[gasps] Oh, God! Tegan!
-Oh, my God.
[groans, breathes shakily]
[Sasha] Tegan.
