The Secret Circle ~Sacrifice~

The awkwardness between Cassie and Adam continues while Faye and Melissa compare it to an emotional car crash.

Eben is chasing someone through the woods and he lets him get away into Chance Harbor.

John stops by to make sure Cassie is okay. He asks he to play mini golf.

Melissa, Faye, and Diana have volunteered to waitress for the hockey team’s banquet. Grant stops by and convinces Diana to go on a date with him. Grant and Melissa go ice skating and he asks her to leave with him—she can go anywhere she wants to go.

Someone is in Jake’s house and they get into a fight. Cassie sees them from her house and she goes to help. Jake tells her that he’s a friend. Samuel and Jake were witch hunters. Samuel tells them that he’s running from Eben and he’s trying to resurrect demons and that he needs to talk to John.

Melissa convinces Adam to help her steal Kyle’s (the head hockey player) attention away from Faye. Adam agrees and helps her talk hockey to Kyle and the other players. Faye is astounded and Melissa has the whole table’s attention. Then Faye demands that Adam help her grab the interest of Kyle back and he helps her play darts with Kyle.

Samuel tells John that Eben was trying to sacrifice him to resurrect the demons and that’s why he ran. Eben wants to eradicate the witches once and for all using demons. Apparently John was trying to do the same thing 16 years ago. Cassie overhears this part of their conversation.

Cassie is pissed at John and he tells her that he thought he could use the demons to protect the circle. But the demons wanted to take over the circle and use their powers. They have to stop Eben and seal the demons in the ground. They have to gather the whole circle and meet at the old house.

Adam gets aggressive over the fact that apparently Kyle has a girlfriend who showed up at the banquet and he had been acting all night as if the girlfriend didn’t exist. Faye and Melissa tell him that it sucks loosing someone you love, but he’s lucky that he doesn’t remember it. Missing it is the worst part

While Cassie and Jake are gathering the circle, Diana finds out that Grant isn’t what he seems. He’s been lying. He doesn’t own a yacht—he just works on the crew. She tells him to stay the hell away from her. Diana goes to the coffee house and doesn’t answer her phone. Cassie tracks her down and Diana lashes out at her calling her a drama queen and that she can’t even have 5 minutes to herself. Cassie tells her about the demons and she begrudgingly goes with Cassie.

John and Samuel trek off through the woods and they come upon the space where John tried to resurrect the demons before. He traps Samuel in a circle and tells him that he’s already been sacrificed, there’s a demon in him.

Meanwhile Cassie and the circle figure out that John didn’t want them hurt and went to confront Eben on his own. They take off after him.

Eben confronts John and flings him through the air. Eben resurrects the demons and takes them into himself. The rest of the circle arrives and Jake tries to help Samuel but breaks the circle so Samuel can get out. Cassie tries to stop him but can’t. Samuel grabs Cassie and the demon tries to get into her. John wakes up and tells Samuel to take him instead. But John uses his powers to eradicate the demon from Samuel and he Sam dies.

The whole circle is shocked that John still has powers. He tells Cassie that he couldn’t tell her to stop using her powers if he were still using his. He tells the circle that there’s a war coming and he and the circle are not strong enough to stop it. He tells them about the crystals and Cassie admits she has one. There are 5 others that need to be found to stop Eben and the witch hunters and they can stop hiding their powers.

Grant is waiting on Diana and he says he can explain. He wanted to impress her and he begs for one more day to make it right. She gives him one more day.

Adam takes Cassie home and admits to being wrong about her father and he admits he’s been hard on her. John saved them tonight and they need to be focused on their enemies.

John is back in the old woods. It appears he’s digging up the original sacrifice from 16 years before.

********

I thought this episode was excellent. Its bringing more of the back story of how John Blackwell abused his power and wanted to control more of it.

My questions for you:

Has he changed?

Do you really think he's only out to help Cassie or does he have something more sinister in mind?

The Secret Circle ~Lucky~

Wow! We’re back after a long hiatus that kept us waiting for weeks!

Faye tells Dawn that John Blackwell is back and you can just tell she’s ecstatic about this. I guess they had a thing when they were younger.

John goes to see Cassie and tries to tell her that he doesn’t want to be a stranger that people are terrified of and that the dark magic they have can make her vengeful and destructive. She tells him that he doesn’t know her very well. This seems to be foreshadowing of things to come

Outside Cassie’s house John runs into Jake and comments that Jake watches over her. Jake tells him that he does. John says “Good.” Hmm… wonder what that means.

The circle gathers at the coffee house and Diana comments that it would be great to find the parents they lost still alive. Faye rebuts that saying that “yeah as long as that parent wasn’t the devil on their days off.” Cassie’s break is over and Melissa and Diana leave to set up for casino night, Faye goes to track down Lee. Adam asks Cassie to go to casino night with him. She asks him if they are going out on a real live date in public. He grins and says yes… she replies with “Then hell yes.” As she kisses him. Finally! The stars have aligned themselves.

Lee and Eva (his back from the dead girlfriend) are discussing her health and she says she feels good, but a little weak. He suggests that she call her parents and she tells him that they gave up on her and that he saved her life, he’s all she needs. This does not bode well for Faye.

Diana and Melissa head to the boathouse to pick up supplies for the casino night fundraiser. On the way out the two run into a very handsome stranger named Grant. He’s charming and you can tell he’s charmed Diana. Normally new people in Chance Harbor are bad signs.

John is at the old house looking for something and Cassie sees him get really annoyed he can’t find what he’s looking for. He turns a table over and Cassie leaves.

Cassie tells Adam what she saw her father doing and they sneak into Jake’s house. Adam tells her that he and Nick found this when they were cleaning up the old house. He pulls out a weird clay looking thing and tells her that Diana’s book referred to it as a sway… it takes witch’s powers away. Cassie takes it and tells him that she’s going to confront her father and at least she’ll be the one to have it.

Faye goes to see Lee and tells him he is taking her to casino night. He tells her that he can’t go, he has previous plans. Wonder when Eva is going to turn up.

Diana and Faye are discussing boys when Melissa tells Faye that Diana is turning away hotties like she’s allergic to them and she wants to know when does Faye ever take no for an answer? She leaves the coffee shop and Diana asks Faye when did she get so insightful? Finally we have our smart mouthed Melissa back!!

Cassie confronts John and wants to know whose magic is he trying to take. He tells her that he found that when he escaped the fire, that only another witch could have spelled it for Eben to have powers. He tells her that he needs to sway to find the person that betrayed them in the past and will eventually betray them again.

Faye goes to see Lee and finds Eva. Lee tells Eva that Faye is just a customer. Faye leaves and Lee tells Eva that Faye just has a crush on him.

Grant shows up at casino night and donates a large amount of money to the school while he flirts with Diana.

Adam comes to get Cassie and she tells him that a witch spelled it so Eben could catch John. She reminds him that she saw his father in Jake’s memories. Adam gets angry and they get into a fight

Cassie tells Jake about seeing Ethan in his memory and he gets angry that Adam’s dad betrayed them. Cassie tells him there has to be another explanation. After Cassie leaves, Jake immediately calls John.

Adam and Ethan have a conversation about him and Cassie—Ethan won’t tell him what happened.

Faye sees that Lee did come to fundraiser and she starts to tell him off but he grabs her and kisses her. I really like these two together and that normally means this isn’t going to work out.

Dawn runs into John at the school and she tries to seduce him. He tells her that she’s the same old Dawn and that he’s changed. He’s looking for Ethan.

Adam shows up at casino night and tells Cassie that he’s sorry and Cassie says maybe he does have an explanation. Cassie sees her dad at the fundraiser and starts to follow him.

Eva shows up at the school and sees Faye and Lee hugged together and he tells her about Faye. Eva gets mad and leaves.

John is followed out of the school with someone with a knife. Cassie sees someone stab him and they take off running. She chases him and uses her magic to stop him. She stands over Ethan and starts to whack him with a plank. John stops her and tells her that she can’t do that.

John tells Cassie that Ethan blames him for stealing her mother from him and that she needs to stay away from Ethan. He tells her that she can’t use her magic that it will take her over.

Grant and Diana chat after the fundraiser and they end up kissing in the parking lot.

Eva confronts Lee at home and she wants to know why he brought her back when he wants Faye. He realizes that she has magic and she kills him. I figured this would happen!!!!!!!

John confronts Ethan and tells him that the kids have been hurt enough and that Ethan will keep his mouth shut about Cassie. The reason that Cassie’s mom was with John was because the “written in the stars love” between Ethan and her was a curse.

Adam goes to Cassie’s house and she says that she doesn’t know what happened. Adam says to hell with their parents—he doesn’t care about them. He tells Cassie that he loves her and they start to kiss and end up making love on the couch. Outside a flock of crows are gathering over Cassie’s house. I do believe this is a horrible sign for Adam and Cassie.

****

I have to admit there were a bunch of twists in this episode!

Do you guys think that Lee is really dead or is he just sleeping? I have to say that I hope Eva didn't kill him because I really like the chemistry between Lee and Faye. He seems to hold his own with her.

See??! I knew I was right about the Cassie/Adam thing being a bad idea... now they've gone and summoned an army of crows with their 'written in the stars' love.

What's your opinion on this episode?

The Secret Circle ~Valentine~

Faye and Jake wake up together and she’s “trying” to sneak out but wakes him up. He basically tells her to get out but they end up doing the deed AGAIN. Let me return to my comment from last week… Ewww I am not amused.

Faye Diana—I felt a clear connection to my father—I’m goingto go try again—not relying on a guy

Faye and Melissa plan a slumber party and Melissa invites Diana and Cassie.

Adam asks Cassie what she was talking to Jake about. She tells Adam that she told him that he doesn’t know me at all. Adam asks her out for Valentine ’s Day and she tells him that she’s going to Faye’s for a slumber party. She tells him that she can go another day.

A hooded figure is watching Cassie as she runs out to her car to get a book.

Lee turns up at Faye’s place and brings her some sort of power totem. He tells her to leave it by the bed.

Jake is talking Issac (the witch hunter) and he tells Issac that he saw what Issac did to his parents. Issac tells Jake that John Blackwell led them to slaughter. Issac wants the medallion and Jake tells him that he’s not going to let him hurt Cassie. Issac tells him that evil will start to come for Cassie and they can’t stop it as long as she has the medallion.

Cassie is at the house heading into the basement when she actually sees the hooded figure waiting for her and the screams and runs back up the stairs. She runs into Adam and she tells him what she saw. Oddly enough he suggests that she talks to Jake because he has the most information on the witch hunters.

Diana and Melissa accidently break the “doll” (power totem) that Lee gave to Faye. Diana tells Melissa that she doesn’t really belong at Faye’s and Melissa assures her that she wants her there. She shows Diana the Devil’s Spirit that she has and Diana tries it.

Jake and Cassie are talking about the symbols on the robe that she saw and he tells her it’s from the Medaris clan. Their whole clan was wiped out years ago. She doesn’t seem impressed that ghosts are coming after her now.

Diana and Melissa are high and they do a “spell” to make the pizza guy hot. Diana says she’s going to make out with the pizza guy. The doorbell rings and Melissa runs for it, flings it open and kisses Lee

Cassie is gathering her things to head over to Faye’s and there are two hooded figures outside her window.

Lee warns Faye again about Devil’s Spirit and the damage it can do.

Diana tells Cassie that it’s girls night and she doesn’t want to talk about Adam.

Jake goes to talk to Issac again and he tells him that Cassie is being haunted by a dead witch. Issac tells him that their blood spilled in a church not far from where they are. John Blackwell killed them all and took their powers. That medallion holds their powers. Those witches will come for them since Cassie has activated it, every dead witch within miles and miles will come for her. It holds the power of a thousand dead souls.

Cassie is telling Diana (who is still high) that she saw a ghost in the basement of the old house. Cassie says that she just can’t talk to dead people. Faye says that maybe they can. She brings out a Ouija board and Cassie uses the medallion as a pointer. It spells out “Sacred.” Cassie tells Melissa that she’s going to go see Adam because she’s not in a partying mood and she’s bringing them down. She leaves.

Jake comes looking for Cassie and Melissa tells him that she’s with Adam.

Cassie is driving to Adam’s and the medallion starts to choke her. She wrecks.

Jake rushes over to Adam’s and he tells Adam the story and that they have to find Cassie before the witches do.

Cassie crawls out of her car and confronts the two hooded figures and then chases them through the woods.

Adam calls Diana and wants to know where Cassie is. She snarkily tells him it's ironic him and Jake both looking for Cassie and she hangs up on him.

Jake and Adam realize she’s headed for the sacred ground of the church and if she’s in the church she can’t use her magic.

Faye asks Diana how it feel being replaced by Cassie. Diana tells Faye that she’s just jealous about her friendship with Melissa. They realize that Melissa is nowhere to be found. They find her seizing on the floor. They rush her to the bathroom and make her vomit.

Cassie ends up in the church and surrounded by the ghosts. They possess Adam and they tell her they want the medallion. They threaten to cut Adam’s wrist if they don’t get it. She ends up using it to make them leave.

Jake tells Issac that the ghosts are gone. Issac is pissed that Jake didn’t bring back the medallion.

Melissa admits to Faye that she screwed up back in Junior High School by ignoring Melissa. But she vows she’s not leaving Melissa again

Lee visits his girlfriend that is apparently in the hospital. He gives her the match to the totem he gave to Faye.

Faye tells Melissa and Diana that Lee says Devil’s Spirit is dangeround. Diana tells her that he’s a really good kisser. They end up having a pillow fight.

Cassie goes with Adam to the boat and she sees the dinner he had planned pre-possession. She tells him that he was right and that she let the “idea” of her dad overshadow the reality. She starts to cry but Adam wipes her tears and they kiss.

***************************************

My thoughts...

I hate the Cassie/Adam story line.

I do like it that Adam is getting more of a backbone and standing up for himself.

I HATE Faye and Jake together. It's too predictable. Bad boy and Bad girl together? Seriously? UGH. The Cassie/Jake relationship has so much more potential for sparks to fly and things to happen. Adam and Cassie are just too.... blah for me.

So tell me what you guys thought... I'm interested to hear your thoughts on Cassie's father too.... is he really the epitome of all evil or is there something deeper going on?

The Secret Circle ~Witness~

Jake is back and he tells Adam that he’s keeping an eye on Cassie. The council is going to use the ritual that they used to kill Cassie’s father… to kill her. Cassie tells him that she didn’t know about witch hunters being at the boat. He says that the only way to keep her safe if to figure out what ritual was used. He tells her that she knows where to find him

Adam tells Cassie that she can’t trust Jake and she says that she does because he cares about her. He tells her that he uses people.

Dawn and Diana are having coffee and they get Charles’s attention. He tells Dawn not to use his daughter against him. She says the circle is bound, they have two crystals and they are on the way to getting their power back. He knows she’s up to something and that he’s not helping since she wanted to kill his mom.

I’m not really sure what’s going on with Faye, Lee, and the new kid on the block Callum but it’s creepy/weird. Lee used to deal something named Devil’s Spirit and of course Faye is intrigued.

Jake snarkily asks Cassie did she get Adam’s permission to come see him. She wants to know if he wants to kill her. He tells her that if he did he would have left her in the school fire. He confides that he saw the fire that killed their parents but can’t remember what happened. He has a spell that can help her get into his memory and see what happened.

He tells Cassie, Diana, and Adam that he followed his parents and that he saw them on the boat but he can’t remember anything past that

Diana and Adam discuss Jake and the spell and that Diana tells him that she would do the spell with Jake if she could because she wants to know what happened

Jake and Cassie go to the boatyard to get something that was on the boat the night the fire happened. He says that he couldn’t find his parents and that he could hear other people on the boat.

Dawn goes to see Ethan and she says that she and Charles got into an argument and that he choked her. He has magic. Ethan says he’ll take care of Charles

Jake and Cassie do the memory spell and it works. They appear on the boat and can see Jake and Nick’s parents. They try to follow Jake’s parents and the Jake gets hurt with pain in his head. He can’t go on. Cassie breaks away from him and follows his parents. Jake is jerked back out of his memories but Cassie is still locked in.

Ethan calls Charles and tells him that he knows he has a crystal and that he killed Henry. Charles asks Ethan if he’s sober. And Ethan tells him that he’s as sober as a church mouse and that he’s going to tell the council.

Adam and Diana arrive in time to find Jake trying to shake Cassie out of his memories… but she’s watching what happened. The witch hunters were trying to kill her dad. They killed the other witches and tried to use a ritual to kill John Blackwell. It didn’t work and the fire started. A medallion falls from John Blackwell’s hand as he walks away from the pole he was tied to. The fire starts to choke Cassie and Adam, Diana, and Jake get her to breathe.

Adam demands that Jake goes back in and get Cassie. Adam helps him do the spell and he goes to get Cassie. He sees his mom and tries to get to her, but they wake up out of his memories. She tells the group that witch hunters betrayed their parents and the truce they offered was a trap. She says that she didn’t see anyone else but Ethan. Adam says that Ethan wasn’t there. She insists that she heard Ethan’s name and voice. She tells them that it was awful and she specifically tells Jake that his mom and dad were so brave and they wanted safety for Nick and him.

Charles shows up to talk to Ethan and Ethan knocks him out and takes the crystal. Charles tries to tell him that Dawn can’t be trusted, apparently that doesn’t matter to Ethan

Cassie goes to the boat looking for the medallion that she watched her father drop. Jake shows up and she tells him that maybe it should have stayed locked away. He said he wanted to know the truth and that it was so easy for the witch hunters to manipulate him and use him. She shows him the medallion and tells him that her father was wearing it and then dropped it. It saved him. He says he’s glad he came back. Cassie wants to know if this was the only reason he came back. He gives a soulful look and she tells him things are so complicated… she’s thinking about her dad and if he got off the ferry then he’s alive. Jake tells her that he is buried not too far from his parents.

Adam takes Diana home and she asks if Jake came back to hurt them. He says he doesn’t know what to believe. Diana tells him that Jake is in love with Cassie. Diana doesn’t know how to do this… to be friends and Adam tells her that she knows him better than anyone else

Dawn goes to see Ethan and wants to know if Charles hurt him. He tells her that he’s going to hold on to the crystal. Looks like Ethan isn’t a dumb as he can look.

Callum shows up and gives Faye a substance called Devil’s spirit.

Cassie and Jake are in the cemetery digging up her father’s grave. She tells him to wait and wipes away some of the dirt from his headstone and then tells him that she realizes that it’s insane. Jake opens the grave and they find animal remains. Cassie father is not buried in his grave…………………….

I really enjoyed tonight's episode!

I'm so glad Jake is back because I hate the non-chemistry between Cassie and Adam. Adam seems like he's weaker than Cassie and he can't keep up with her. Jake seems to be tough and strong enough while still giving Cassie those looks filled with feelings.

I wish Faye would get smarter. I know she's not stupid but she needs to wake up and realize that the world does not revolve around Faye.

What do you guys think? Team Jake/Cassie or Team Adam/Cassie?

The Secret Circle ~Fire and Ice~

Spoiler Alert! This week had a TON of stuff going on... read on for a witchy good read... =)

Cassie and Diana discuss Jake and the possibility he won’t come back. Diana assures Cassie it’s for the best. The circle won’t be as strong but they are better off. They try to do a spell to change the color of a dress, but Cassie sets it on fire.

Adam’s dad tells him that he’s going to chaperone the dance and that he hasn’t had a drink in a couple of weeks. He’s sorry for hurting Diana and Adam.

Cassie voices her concerns that she can’t do a spell without it turning bad. Diana tells her that it was probably just a fluke.

Melissa, Diana, and Cassie decide to go to the dance together.

Adam and Cassie go check out the city records to see if there is anything about her dad. Adam distracts the secretary and Cassie uses the computer to look up her father. She gets an address of 7 Briar Hill. Adam freaks and tells Cassie he has to show her something.

Faye and Lee are up to no good. He tells her he can get her individual powers.

Adam takes Cassie to the abandoned house and shows her an address sign. It’s the same house her father owns. Adam tells her that he threw some of the older stuff in the basement. They decide to go check it out and Adam ends up asking Cassie to the Fire and Ice dance. She tells him that she can’t hurt Diana and she can’t think about it. He tells her that it’s all he thinks about.

Faye tells Melissa that Lee can help her get her powers and Faye tells her that it’s not a good idea.

Cassie still hanging out in the basement and hears something. She finds a sigil burned into the ceiling of the basement.

Diana and Melissa are reminiscing about being friends and hanging out. Cassie comes in and shows them a drawing that she made of the sigil. She tells them that she saw it in her book. She realizes that Faye stole a page from her mom’s book and is pissed. She calls Faye and demands she bring the page back.

Faye asks Lee about the spell and he tells her its old school and it will extract the dark magic. Cassie won’t be hurt. They go to the school dance and perform the ritual after stopping by Cassie’s house to steal her necklace. Faye notices a light on in Nick’s house next door.

Cassie asks Adam’s dad if her dad had anything to do with the fire and he says that she doesn’t need to know and that she is not defined by her parents.

Melissa and Diana discuss moving on and Diana goes to ask a boy to dance. Adam watches Diana dancing with the new guy and seems to be amused she’s moving on.

Adam asks Diana to tell Cassie that it’s okay to be friends with him and that she’s moving on.

Faye and Lee complete their spell and now she has Cassie’s powers and the circle is suffering. They each start to collapse and Cassie tells Faye she’s a selfish bitch. Faye makes Lee tell her how to undo the spell and she gives the powers back, but the damage is done. The school is on fire and the decorations are shattering. They realize Melissa isn’t with them and Cassie goes to get her. She uses her powers to part the fire so she can get Melissa. She is overcome by the smoke and collapses. The last thing she sees is a pair of boots before she passes out.

Cassie and Melissa wake up outside, not knowing how they got outside. The circle tells Faye that this is the second time she’s almost killed them all. She lashes out at Cassie and leaves.

Diana drives Melissa home and Melissa says that she’s Faye’s friend and that they were pretty harsh on her.

Faye goes to see Lee and she gets flirty with him. Telling him that she’s done with the circle.

Adam finds Cassie in the basement of the abandoned house. The joke around and end up kissing.

So what did you guys think?

*******************************

I'm still torn on the Adam/Cassie relationship... I was so happy that Jake is back. He looked kind of hurt that Cassie was in Adam's arms. Which hot guy are you wanting Cassie to choose?

Do you think Faye will ever settle down and stop doing things that almost kill the rest of the circle?

When will Melissa finally stick up for herself and stop following Faye around? Yeah they're friends but there is a point when you become a doormat.....

Please leave your comments and thoughts :)
