Coven Academy (2026) s01e17 Episode Script
Thicker Than Water
[suspenseful music playing]
[William as Cole] I heard a noise in here.
Didn't expect to find a student.
-I was just--
-You were just what?
No, I'm curious what you need in the vault
in the middle of the night.
Technically, it's only 11:00, so
Technically, you both could be expelled
for something like this.
What's going on?
I'm trying to stop my mother's killer.
And I'm helping her.
So, you want to take on Miss Graves?
[Briar] She killed my mom.
I'm looking for a weapon
that can stand up against her magic.
If you want to expel me, go ahead.
She's really brave.
-I like your attitude.
-I like my odds.
Or we could trust the council
will find her any day now.
Hmm. Well--
Miss Graves is no longer a danger.
So, why don't you girls
go back to your room
and we will forget this ever happened?
Yeah. Okay, thank-- Yeah.
I'm so sorry. I saw him coming
and I I tried to freeze him,
but I just choked.
-It's okay. I got it.
-That's our girl.
Guys, I don't know what's wrong with me.
Ever since my coma,
it's like I'm I'm scared
to use my magic or something.
-You're gonna be okay, T.
-Am I?
Of course you are. Me, on the other hand?
[groans] Agnes will never forgive me.
The good news is,
now you told her about William.
She's gonna help us.
[dramatic music playing]
William.
[breathes deeply]
Agnes. What are you still doing here?
I thought I told you
to go home for Witchgiving.
I know it's you.
[eerie magical warping]
Turn yourself in to the council or I will.
-Respectfully, no.
-[Agnes] I'm immortal, remember?
You should know by now, you can't kill me.
I don't need to.
-In artem te abice.
-[Agnes screams]
[tense electronic music playing]
Goodbye, Agnes.
[intro theme music playing]
-[music concludes]
-[insects chirping]
[door knocking]
[Jake groans] So, what happened
to waiting for a "Come in?"
You left me a weird,
dare I say it, sad voicemail.
Which is shocking
since your default emotion lately
has been robot.
Yeah, I had a bad night.
I'm fine.
Jake, what's wrong?
You can trust me. I'm here for you.
-[tense music playing]
-[breathes deeply]
Briar swears that Mr. Cole is
some kind of imposter who killed her mom.
According to her, the real Mr. Cole
is dead in his basement or something.
Wait, what?
It's hard to believe, right?
Especially when it's coming
from Miss Graves.
Miss Graves is saying this?
Is she trying to pin what she's done
onto someone else?
[Jake] Yeah, that's what it sounds like.
But the way Briar was telling me,
she really, really believes it.
Briar may be a lot of things,
but she's not gullible.
We need to tell the council.
No, no. I mean [sighs]
What what if she's wrong?
It could ruin Mr. Cole's life.
I've got this.
[scoffs] Uh, no, I I
I can think of so many ways
-that's not gonna go well.
-McKenna, you can't stop me.
Who said anything about stopping you?
-I'm coming with you.
-[scoffs] Really?
-What?
-You've been ratting me out
since I was stealing your crayons
and now you're down
for something like this.
Someone's got to keep an eye on you.
That's what family is for.
I've got this.
Uh-huh. Right.
Do you even know where Mr. Cole lives?
No, but I'll figure it out.
I literally have the teacher's addresses.
Perks of being Head Witch.
Come on.
[Tegan gasps] Are we having tea?
Uh, do you have
anything herbal, by chance?
We are not having tea. Far from it.
[brooding music playing]
It's witches' brew.
[tense electronic music playing]
What does it taste like?
[coughs, groans]
-That bad?
-Are you okay?
[breathes heavily]
Restoring magic like this is grueling.
[sighs] Girls, I think you need to leave.
[breathes heavily] Go.
[breathes heavily]
She survived William's basement.
She can handle a toxic potion.
[groans] Nothing left to do other than
wait, pray, worry, and repeat.
And tell the truth.
The truth about what?
[sentimental pop music playing,
Kaiya Gamble "High School Play"]
Have you ever heard
of Giglio d'Ombra?
-Greek to me.
-Actually, it's Italian.
For "Shadow Lily Academy."
Okay?
[Sasha] It's the name
of Coven Academy Florence.
Like Crescent Veil.
It it's the most
prestigious academy of them all.
[hesitates] It's impossible to get into.
[breathes deeply]
Almost impossible.
You got in?
Yeah.
goes away
Is it gonna change the way you feel? ♪
When did you even apply?
My mom's been trying to get me
to apply for a few years, and
last semester I finally gave in.
You never said anything.
I never thought I had a chance.
T, I didn't think it would ever
become a thing.
Are we really more than friends? ♪
And now it is.
Or are we only
in our high school play? ♪
I've wanted to go to Florence
since I was, like, five.
Almost every council member
went to school there,
which you know is like a dream of mine.
I know.
I want you to have your dream, Sasha.
More than anything.
Same. Maybe a little less.
N-- [sighs] No, same. [breathes deeply]
You're supposed to tell me not to go.
You're supposed to say,
"Please, don't break up our coven."
I would never stand in your way, Sasha.
-Yeah, we're so proud of you.
-Yeah. [chuckles softly]
Come here.
Or are we only
in a high school play? ♪
-[sighs]
-We love you.
[cries, sniffles]
When the curtain falls
Will I have fallen for you? ♪
-[music concludes]
-[cicadas buzzing]
I haven't seen a basement yet.
Yeah, well, if there's a body,
it could be anywhere.
[sighs] Did you not see
the scanning spell I did?
I came up with nothing. Twice.
I heard this one warlock,
he once shrunk down his victim
and he tried to store him
in a tube of toothpaste.
[McKenna] Mm. Go ahead.
Squeeze the toothpaste.
Hey, what about this door?
Could lead to a basement.
[tense music playing]
[grunts]
-Step aside. I'll blast it open.
-No, no, wait.
If Mr. Cole's actually hiding something,
he's not gonna let light magic find it.
I got it. [breathes deeply]
Umbram invoco ut prodeat.
[eerie whooshing]
[breathes heavily, grunts]
[door clicking unlocked]
How do you know how to do that?
I know how to do a lot of things.
See? No basement, no body.
I knew Briar was wrong.
Didn't know Mr. Cole was such a hat guy.
I have to tell Briar that
Miss Graves is feeding her lies
before she ruins Mr. Cole's life.
Wait, Jake.
How long have you been using dark magic?
Long enough.
[suspenseful electronic music building]
[music concludes]
How dare you?
[dramatic electronic music playing]
[William as Cole]
How did you get out?
[pants] William! Please!
Please! We were friends!
Umbram invoco ut prodeat.
What the
[Emma] Hi, William.
[all chanting] Bind what moves,
deny it flight.
Seal it fast in golden light.
[magic chimes]
[chuckles] This again?
[Jake] What are you guys doing?
-Jake!
-There you are.
[breathes heavily]
Jake, what have you done?
