-[crickets chirping]
-[suspenseful music playing]
[sighs]
[gasps] Ollie, what happened to you?
-Stop. Don't come closer.
-You're bleeding.
I'm
-I'm not bleeding.
-What's happened?
We can't I can't see you anymore.
What?
Why?
You're not safe with me anymore, Briar.
Ollie, I feel safest when I'm with you.
What's going on? Tell me.
Do you remember
what Jake told you about me?
About the scrying mirror?
You said you knew nothing about that.
I lied.
I did feed on a human. A human I
attacked.
I'm a vampire.
Briar, I can't change that.
I can't I won't let myself hurt you.
-You won't.
-Uninvite me, Briar. Now.
No. Ollie, whatever it is,
we can work through it.
-[hisses]
-Go away, you're uninvited!
[dramatic music playing]
[music concludes]
-You okay?
-Yeah, I'm okay.
Okay. Thanks to you.
-Well done, son.
-Look, I don't get it.
Why are they so convinced you're a killer?
That's the brilliance of Emma Graves.
She's pinning the murders on me
because she knows I use dark magic.
-I'm the perfect target.
-All my friends believe her.
[William] Emma is a master manipulator.
She always has been.
She'll say whatever to get what she wants.
Bury whoever gets in her way.
I want you to go back to school.
After what I just did?
Tell 'em you saw your teacher in trouble,
so you reacted.
Then he just vanished on you.
No. No, no. I'm staying with you.
I am a wanted man, Jake.
There's gonna be an army after me.
I'm not gonna let you
get caught up in that.
But I I just got you back.
[William] Hey.
And I just got my son back.
I'm not going anywhere.
I've got a plan for us, Jake.
Plans to give my son
the future that he deserves.
Sound okay?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
-Come here.
[mysterious music playing]
[music concludes]
All right, so what's the emergency?
You'll see in a second.
My question is, what were you thinking?
You set a killer free, Jake.
Mr. Cole's innocent. Okay? Trust me.
Guys, Graves is telling you lies.
Go in there, Jake. See for yourself.
[suspenseful music playing]
Jake.
This is the real Peter Cole.
The man you set free
his name is William Bixton.
He killed Briar's mom. He killed Tamora.
Mr. Cole is barely hanging on.
[intense music playing]
[music concludes]
Isn't it gorgeous?
[chuckles] Wow. Yeah. Beautiful.
[Tegan] Imagine what it's going
to look like at the Covening.
I mean, I know we use the word "magical"
a lot around here, but come on,
it really is. [chuckles]
[Briar] The reality is,
Sash still hasn't made up
her mind about Florence.
We might not even be going
to the ceremony.
[sighs] Don't say that.
We need to think happy thoughts.
It's kind of hard when there's a warlock
ready to poison the ley lines,
and Ollie's suddenly out of my life.
Maybe that's a good thing.
He lied to you, Briar.
And he had human blood on him,
which the blood thing is way worse,
by the way.
I know.
I should be scared of him,
that he's going to attack me
at any second, but I'm not.
The pain in his eyes,
everything that he's gone through,
I want to help him.
I miss him.
I get it.
Ollie's sweet. And he's kind, so cute.
I mean, take away the murderer part
-and he's perfect.
-T!
But Jake was right about him, Briar.
He's dangerous.
[mysterious music playing]
Where is Jake?
McKenna told me that he's obsessed
with finding William,
trying to make things right.
That's a terrible idea. So dangerous.
-Just the way Jake likes it.
-I'm worried about him.
[sighs] Take it from a time jumper.
Jake's gonna need a little bit of time
-to heal from all this.
-We don't have any time.
The ley line's open tonight.
No matter what Sasha decides,
if William shows up,
we all have to be ready.
-[sighs]
-[music concludes]
Not just the access point.
I need sentries along
the entire ley line perimeter.
The threat is real, Madam Counselor.
Thank you. I'll do my very best.
-Hey!
-[Peter] Hey.
Look at you.
-Back on your feet.
-[Peter] Yeah.
-You look great.
-Sort of back on my feet.
Enough to see the nightmare
you're dealing with.
Yeah. I suggested delaying
the Covening ceremony,
but the council refused.
They don't want to create chaos
when there's no proof
anything's going to happen.
I guess I understand.
But it's taking a huge risk.
Yeah. I mean, a 16-year-old
polluting the ley lines
was bad enough, but a warlock
that's amassed this much power?
Unimaginable.
At least they're sending sentries. [sighs]
I don't know how many.
I mean, if Agnes was here,
I'm sure she could have
negotiated for more.
-And I hope she's okay.
-[Peter] Agnes is always okay.
It's one of the perks to being immortal.
She'll be back soon.
I was sure that you were dead.
[sentimental music playing]
The amount of dark magic
that you absorbed.
Yeah, well, a little shock to the system
never hurt anybody.
Peter, I'm sorry for leaving you.
You sent the council to rescue me.
I'm still here because of you.
What you sacrificed for this school
for me.
And I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
[tense indie music playing, Jack Harris
"Right Behind You (run away)"]
Go, run away
See? What did I tell you?
Two legs always taste better than four.
Make no mistake,
There's no escape ♪
I don't know
why I've been waiting so long.
[Teese] Eh, you were a fledgling.
We've all been there.
But now, you're one of us.
So, run away, run away ♪
Whoa! Slow down, O. Enjoy it.
Enjoy?
[Teese] It's that witch
girlfriend of yours, huh?
[inhales sharply]
You're better off without her.
Uninviting you like that,
that's cold, man.
Forget that witch.
I'll chase you straight
to the cemetery ♪
What witch?
Those people, they hate us.
I mean, you said it.
That warlock trying to push you around
thinking he's better than you?
And going off and
killing Alexander?
[suspenseful music playing]
You know what?
I think it's time we take you
on a little hunting trip.
Clear your mind.
Yeah.
And I know who I want to hunt.
[music concludes]
-Blinding powder.
-[mysterious music playing]
Noxious herbs.
Delirium potion.
And my personal favorite, stun crystals.
I love when dangerous things are pretty.
-Mm-hmm.
-[sighs]
The faculty is going to lose their minds
when they see all of this gone
from their classrooms.
Miss Graves said be vigilant.
This is our version of vigilant.
-Mm
-That's it.
Where's the secret weapon?
So, my mom collects
these vintage spell books.
The rarer, the better.
More like the dustier the better. Yikes.
I spent all night poring over them,
and I found this ancient spell
that's supposed to reverse evil intent.
We say the spell together?
When he tries to infect the ley lines,
-should be game over, William.
-Legend. I'm in.
T?
You know my abilities
have been a little glitchy.
What if I choke? I don't…
I don't wanna let you guys down.
Tegan, put all three of us together,
we are unstoppable. We all know that.
Yeah.
Siete bloccate con me.
I don't understand Italian.
Me neither. Are you leaving?
It means, "you're stuck with me."
I have so many goals,
but I can't imagine my future
without you two. I'm staying.
But Florence was your dream.
You guys are my dream now.
-Our coven.
-Yay.
Thank God.
[soft music playing]
-Was that
-Jake.
Jake, wait up.
Look, now is not the best time.
There hasn't been a good time
since Thanksgiving.
-I'm not mad at you. I swear.
-I messed up.
-Badly, Briar.
-It's okay.
[Jake] No, it's not.
I should have listened to you.
Okay, I should have known better.
[Briar] You had every reason
to believe him.
He was there for you,
like a father figure.
He wasn't like a father figure.
-What?
-[Jake] William
He's my dad.
I thought your dad was dead.
I never… I never stopped dreaming that
that he'd actually be alive.
That one day, um, he'd show up
and he'd tell me
how much he missed me.
And then this happens.
Jake.
He killed your mom, Briar.
You're not your father. You never will be.
Do you hear me?
Yeah. Yeah.
You were right about Ollie.
Ollie?
[Briar] Everything you said was true.
He did feed on a human.
And you tried to warn me,
and I didn't listen
'cause I just thought you were being
Jealous?
-Paranoid.
-[Jake chuckles]
So So, are you two no longer
I-- I'm sorry to hear that.
Are you, though?
I gotta go. Um…
Hey, if I don't see you later,
-enjoy your covening.
-Aren't you coming to the party?
[Jake] I might be a little late.
Save me a dance, Brooklyn.
-[music concludes]
-[birds chirping]
-[upbeat music over stereo]
-Gentlemen. Ladies.
Sorry to interrupt.
Hey, warlocks ain't welcome here anymore.
I get that feeling.
And I completely understand.
[ominous music playing]
I hate warlocks and witches
as much as you do.
The arrogance.
Self-righteousness. [scoffs]
Think they can get away with anything.
Well, they crossed the line
when they killed your brother.
So, I have a proposition for you.
Oh, do you?
Tonight at midnight,
I'm lowering the wards
at Crescent Veil for you.
The witches and warlocks can finally face
the consequences
of treating you like animals.
And you're doing this, why?
Out of the goodness of your heart?
I'm doing this to make things right.
I'll be there at midnight
to invite you in.
The rest is up to you.
[indistinct chatter]
-And you're sure he's here?
-Of course I'm sure.
Who do you think you're talking to?
A werewolf, not exactly a beacon of truth.
-[Kyle] You calling me a liar?
-No.
All right, look. You already got
the nightcrawlers after you.
Be careful who you insult, warlock.
Pay up. Come on.
[suspenseful music playing]
[William] You looking for me, son?
Am I your son?
'Cause so far everything
you've told me has been a lie!
-Let's talk inside.
-[Jake grunts]
