[Briar] Wait, what did you say?

[shrieks]

[bats screeching]

[gasps]

[Ms. Graves] Blood to ash and ash to wind,

harm her once, your soul is pinned!

-[sizzling] -[whimpers]

[groaning]

The dormitories. Now.

We'll discuss this at the crack of dawn.

You don't scare me.

[shrieking]

[bell rings]

Gentlemen, today we learn the humble art of teleporting.

[student] Finally.

Easy, bud.

We are teleporting objects, not ourselves.

So, when do we get into the hard stuff,

like shape-shifting?

When you can handle the boring stuff

without setting your dorm on fire.

-[students chuckle] -Your latest homework...

D... for "Didn't try."

[students gasp]

Mm.

D for... for "Done with the basics."

[student chuckles]

Cute.

But what you've got in flash, you're missing in control.

You need a second to catch your breath, Jake?

No, I'm-- I'm-- I'm good. I'm good.

You sure? Because by the looks of it,

Jake here wouldn't last five minutes in the real world

before getting sent six feet under.

[students laugh]

Was that a threat?

Did you boys-- Did you boys hear that? Uh--

Definitely heard that.

No, no, no, that's a prediction.

Speaking of predictions,

word on campus is some of you geniuses

plan on tracking down those missing girls yourselves.

Let me be crystal clear.

That's not happening.

You know, those girls need help. Okay? They're still alive.

Only advanced magic could tell you that.

Well, then maybe you should stop underestimating me.

Underestimate you? Jake, you can't even make it

through my class without dozing off.

Think you're ready to take on vampires?

What? I-- I thought... I thought the vampire part was a rumor.

There's a kernel of truth to every rumor, right?

That's why the adults, the trained,

"not-going-to-get-killed" adults are handling it.

But if those girls are in actual danger...

Then they need professionals, not juniors in high school.

A week's detention, all of you.

It's not their fault. I--

Tegan lied for you, Sasha put me under a spell,

and you snuck out yesterday.

It's not their fault?

You're lucky I don't have to expel all of you!

Ms. Graves... madam,

I-- I just want to say thank you for taking it easy on us.

We'll see if you think it's easy when you're done

reorganizing the entire vault.

Pardon?

Oh, and, uh, one last thing.

Oh, lordy, not the OG grimoire.

Seven suns shall see you bare,

no spell shall spark, no charm shall dare.

I took your powers away for the week, all three of you.

-But-- -No "buts."

I'm doing this because I care.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with the devil.

[♪ ominous music playing]

[exhales]

[buzzing]

[♪ music builds]

-[♪ music ends] -Hey, cutie.

I just, um, I just wanna be clear about something.

No talking in the vault.

But first, I want to say your hair looks really pretty, and...

You are so ADHD, it's not even funny.

Listen, please. I don't know why

you think Graves is keeping something from us,

but ultimately, I think Briar's gonna be, like,

really good for us.

She defended us to McKenna.

She literally just got us put in detention.

She got our powers revoked.

She's... [exhales] She's...

[Briar] Guys...

I just found something.

[sighs] Hey, Briar.

If we have a fighting chance of becoming a coven,

let alone being friends,

you've got to start being real with me.

The last time somebody lied to me,

my world fell apart.

My parents were my heroes, and they split.

No warning, no anything.

And I'm not gonna let anything sneak up on me again.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Briar, you're-- you're... you're shaking.

[breathes heavily] I found the 1998 Crescent Veil yearbook.

Why are you so upset?

That's not the question.

The question is why is my mom in this picture,

the vampire lady, and Ms. Graves?

[♪ music builds]

[♪ music fades]

Nice entrance. Do you have an appointment?

Grow up, Alexander.

I know not to enter a vampire's home

without an invitation.

You-know-who's here!

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

A wooden stake? God, you're so predictable.

-What happened to you? -I woke up.

You let one of them bite you.

I'm the best of both worlds now, Emma.

Hybrids are unstoppable.

And beyond evil.

Your hand is trembling.

Go on. Take out your oldest friend.

Whatever this is about, leave me out of it.

Leave Briar out of it.

Out of it?

This is about Briar.

I mean, it's not that crazy she went here.

It's actually high-key a little crazy, Tegan.

Guys, this is the reason I'm here.

It's not random. It's because of my mom.

I just wish I could have five more minutes with her.

And who's to say you can't?

Sorry. I know we're supposed to whisper in the vault.

Oh, honey, I'm an archivist, not a snitch.

You were born with powers for a reason, Briar.

If you want five more minutes with someone you've lost,

why don't we have a good old-fashioned summoning?

Yeah.

Well, a certain headmistress

temporarily took our powers away.

She took your powers away, not mine.

Why are you helping me?

Because your mother was my favorite student.

[chuckles softly]

If I can turn Briar,

the three of us can build a coven the world can't touch.

What do you mean, some sick, evil super coven?

Whatever went after her mother is still out there.

Look me in the eye and tell me that you didn't kill Mary.

[scoffs]

What?

You always resented her for leaving the coven.

Tell me you're not evil enough to take out your own sister.

Who's to say that you didn't kill her?

[gasps]

Do it!

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[sniffing]

[hisses]

[whimpers]

-[breathing heavily] -[♪ music builds]

[♪ music ends]

Sisters don't kill sisters.

You bring me Briar, Emma.

This is the last time that I'm gonna ask nicely.

[breathes heavily, kisses]

[♪ tense music playing]

Yo! [hisses]

[engine revs]

[♪ music ends]

To participate in the summoning, you must offer a sacrifice.

Like... Like kill a small animal or something?

Because some of my best friends are actually small animals.

No, baby girl. To summon the spirit of a loved one,

the person in mourning must admit something...

Something you've never told anyone, Briar.

You want to prove you're not a walking mystery?

This is your moment.

Everyone thinks I have this super hard shell...

but actually inside I'm incredibly terrified.

Okay, it has to be something we can't already tell, Briar.

I would have put it more delicately, but yes.

Okay. Fine.

The last thing that I said to my mom

was I wish she would just disappear.

It was a fight, a stupid mother-daughter fight.

[♪ melancholic music playing]

She's like my best friend, and...

she didn't want me to go on this date back at home.

Of course, she was right. The guy was a dud.

I slammed the door in her face and told her to just disappear.

She kept calling me and texting me,

saying there was something super urgent

that she needed to tell me.

And I just kept sending her to voicemail.

I broke curfew, and she came looking for me.

She ran into some trouble,

some random guy on the subway

that they still haven't found, and...

You wanna know my big secret, Sasha?

If I had just listened to her.

If I hadn't gone out that night.

I'm the reason my mom is dead.

I've never said that before.

And the only way that I can even begin

to start to forgive myself...

is if I find out who did it.

And I don't... I don't think that I can do it on my own.

[♪ music fades]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Bound by womb and laid in clay,

I call the dead to speak this day.

It didn't...

I'm sorry, Briar.

It didn't work.

I'm so sorry, Briar.

It's not your fault.

[cries softly]

Thank you.

Thank you.

That'll do it.

[♪ tense music playing]

Is it over?

[Briar's mother] Briar, honey, is that you?

[♪ gentle music playing]

[breathing heavily]

Mommy?
