Jake tells Cassie that he remembers being at the boat on
the day of the fire that killed their parents. He was a toddler, but he thinks
that Cassie can use her magic to help him uncover his repressed memories so
that they can see what happened that night. Unsurprisingly, Cassie is able to
perform a spell that transports herself and Jake back in time. Jake is unable
to move forward beyond the portion of the boat that he remembers clearly. When
he tries, he gets a headache. Apparently the painfulness of the memories are
too much for him to bear.
Cassie ditches him in the spell, and Jake wakes up, back
in the real world. Cassie is still in a trance. Jake tries to wake her, but can’t,
and calls Adam and Diana. Back in time/in the spell, Cassie sees Jake’s parents
discussing whether to continue using magic. They think that if they stop, the
witch hunters will leave them alone. They talk about how Cassie's father, John Blackwell, betrayed her mother, Amelia. They mention that John
Blackwell is on the boat. Just then, witch hunters appear, kill Jake's father,
and drag Jake’s mother off into a room with some other women. One of the women
has a slit throat. Cassie sees the toddler version of Jake looking upset. A dark-haired woman inside the spell notices Cassie and tells Cassie that she is "not supposed to be here."
Cassie also sees Adam’s dad, Ethan, who had told Adam
that he was NOT on the boat the day of the fire. Later, when she tells Adam
this, everyone wonders why Ethan lied. We’re sure they will question Ethan
later. Back to the spell world. Cassie follows the witch hunters to another
portion of the boat. The witch hunters have John Blackwell. JB is hooded, so
Cassie can’t see his face. It’s a creepy-ass hood, so we have no trouble
believing he is both mysterious and a little evil. The hunters set JB on fire
and Cassie starts to choke on the smoke in the room. In the real world, Cassie
coughs and her friends are concerned.
Cassie sees her father break free and escape the boat. He’s
alive. WE TOLD YOU HE WAS ALIVE. (see the fifth paragraph) We hope no one is surprised by this
development. Cassie wakes up from the spell, shares her info, and then goes to
the site of the boats remains. There, she finds a silver necklace that her dad
dropped. She decides that this is what protected him from the witch hunters’
ritual and now that she has the necklace, she is safe. Jake tells Cassie that
her father must be dead, because there is a grave with his name on it in town.
Cassie and Jake dig the grave up and find a dog skeleton inside the coffin.
Cassie’s dad was a dog?!!! Ha, just kidding. We’re not that dumb. Obviously John Blackwell killed a dog. And he will pay….
Annoyingly, Faye is still hanging out with Lee. She finds
out that he and a creeper friend, Callum, dealt some sort of devil weed. It’s a
drug with ties to Satan or something. Lee warns Faye that there is a reason he
stopped dealing the drug, even though Callum still deals it. Callum gives some
of it to Faye at the end of the episode. If we know reckless, curious, fearless
Faye, and we do, we know she will try the drug soon. Probably in the next
episode.
Charles is still on the outs with Dawn, since Dawn
threatened his mother. Charles wants to find out Dawn’s ultimate plans. Dawn
goes to Ethan, playing the damsel in distress, and says that Charles choked
her. Ethan told Dawn that Charles choked him with water too. Ethan goes to
Charles, knocks him out, steals his crystal, chokes him, and runs off. Charles
tells Ethan that it was Dawn who killed Henry. Ethan claims to not believe
Charles, but when Dawn asks for the crystal later, Ethan doesn’t give it to
her. Ethan: smarter than he looks. How does he look? Pretty hot, actually.
We feel like this episode, while long overdue, only told
us things we had already known or guessed. The Ethan stuff was the only
interesting thing to us. Still, eventful. It moved the show along and thickened the plot.
Episode grade: B
