[♪ intense string music playing]

[shaky breathing] Show me who killed my mom.

So, um... um, gentle... gentle observation.

If you're in Tamora's memories, she wouldn't have seen

who killed your mom. Why... why don't you try asking

her what... what she knew about your mom?

[sniffles] Okay.

[♪ mysterious music plays]

Show me...

your last memory with Mary Roberts.

-[laughs, speaks indistinctly] -[silverware clinking]

[softly] Mom...

[laughs]

[Jake] Wait, wait, wait. I... I know that restaurant.

Um. Uh, it's in the... it's in the arts district.

-[Briar] Are you sure? -[Jake] Not totally sure. Um...

It's called, uh, Lisette's.

There's... there's a burger spot right next door.

-[scoffs] -No. It doesn't make sense.

-The necklace she's wearing. -[Jake] What about it?

I made it for her. I gave it to her

the night before she was killed in Brooklyn.

Her body was found in New York.

What was she doing in New Orleans that night

with her coven?

[Kittredge] Mr. Cole!

[♪ music fades]

[Peter] Kittredge?

What's the head warlock doing all the way out here?

Yeah, I could ask you the same question.

[♪ tense music playing]

This area is restricted.

Only Ms. Graves and I have authorization to be here.

Oh, no. Really?

I was just taking a morning stroll around campus.

I must've... I must've got turned around.

And found yourself here, at the Ley Line access point.

What are you really up to?

[♪ foreboding music playing]

In pulverem, in ventum, in nihilum.

[screams]

[scream echoes, fades out]

[♪ music fades out]

[Sasha] I'm trying to give her a chance, Mom.

But during the exam we fought with each other

more than the monsters.

-[knocking on door] -Sasha?

[sighs] I gotta go. Love you.

[sighs] And what do you want?

Peace between the two of us.

Can I come in?

[background chattering]

I'm sorry, Sasha.

It was wrong of me not to tell you and Tegan about Ollie.

I knew you'd be mad, and I wanted to avoid a fight.

[scoffing] I'd say that backfired.

I didn't know about your brother.

Now, that I do, I can see why you'd be incredibly upset.

I'm not just upset. I'm terrified.

I can't lose another person I care about to a vampire.

Ollie is a good guy.

I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt,

even if no one else does. Especially if no one else does.

Have you ever had feelings for a guy that everyone

kind of misjudged?

[♪ soft music playing]

[breathes deeply]

You really like him, huh?

If I had to choose between him and the coven,

I would choose you and T every time.

I want to give him a chance.

It's just my brother.

Sometimes, I miss Mason so much.

It hurts like a physical pain in my chest.

Believe me. I get that.

I'll try, with Ollie.

But it's gonna take some time.

Trust takes time.

I won't keep any more secrets from you guys. Promise.

Same.

Good. [inhales deeply]

Because I have something else to tell you and T.

Something huge.

So, wait, your mom was in New Orleans

on the night she died?

Having dinner with Tamora and Ms. Graves?

And an hour later, her body was found

on a subway platform in New York.

I mean, how is that even possible?

I mean, she probably used magic. There's more than one way

to travel fast and far in our world.

Portals, summoning stones, enchanted mirrors.

Okay, that makes sense. But you know what doesn't?

Is Graves never mentioned any of this to us.

Yeah, kind of sus.

Maybe we should ask her about it? If she was there that night,

she could tell us what happened.

[Briar] Or she could lie to us again.

She said she hadn't seen my mom in years.

Super sus.

Yeah. So, we can't trust Graves.

There is one way.

[Briar] What is it?

Okay, we could do a time jump.

Basically, I can rewind the clock wherever I'm standing

to the exact moment on that day.

So, if we go to the bistro...

We can time jump back to that night and follow my mom?

How far back have you time jumped before,

like, historically?

My record is a month to prove my sister did in fact borrow

and lose my favorite cardigan. Still mad.

Um, but I was fine afterward.

And you're sure you can take the two of us with you?

I took my pet rabbit Checkers with me on a jump once.

How much harder can two human girls be?

-[school bell ringing] -[Peter] Don't forget to study camouflage spells.

They could be on next week's quiz.

[class chattering]

[Jake] Mr. Cole.

-Do you have a second? -I have several. What's up?

Last night, I tried that...

that shape-shifting spell that you taught me.

and... and afterwards, I... I noticed this.

Have you shown anybody else?

-No. -Good.

Don't. No one needs to know.

So, it does leave a physical mark?

Nothing to worry about.

In fact, you should consider it a badge of honor.

I certainly do.

Wait, you... you have a mark like this?

More than one.

But given this faculty's close-mindedness,

I choose to hide them here at school.

So, how'd it go?

-The shape-shifting, I mean. -Oh, good. Good.

-[Peter] Good. -Really good. Um,

I was just doing a favor

-for a friend. -This friend doesn't know

how or where you learned the spell, right?

-Course not. -[Peter] Oh.

-Who is she? -How did you know it was a she?

Oh, come on. I was a teenager once.

Her name's Briar.

Briar Roberts? Girl that lost her mother?

[♪ uneasy music playing]

Not that it matters. She's got a boyfriend.

-One of your classmates? -Worse. A fledgling vamp.

Then she's in serious danger.

Fledglings can't control their bloodlust.

Believe me, I've warned her.

-But she thinks this vamp is different. -He's not.

Every fledgling has a violent past.

And if she's not careful, she'll wind up part of his.

You understand?

[♪ tense music playing]

In vultu meo, repone, alterius in vultu meo

Latine pinge.

-[whooshing] -[♪ music rises]

Show me Ollie.

[♪ music fades]

This is definitely the place from Tamora's memory,

at least according to Jake.

He would know all the date spots in town. [chuckles]

[gasps] Ooh, the hush puppies here sound great.

We should come here for lunch.

Maybe on another day when we're not time jumping.

-Oh, right. -What do you need from us, T?

Me need from you?

You're the one in charge, girl.

Right, okay. Sorry. Loving the attention,

but not the pressure.

Uh, first, I need your hands.

Is this for comfort or the spell?

-Why choose? -[both chuckle softly]

[exhales deeply] Then we need to close our eyes

and clear our minds. Total focus.

[whooshing]

-Does anyone else feel that? -[shushes]

[eerie tinkling]

[♪ eerie, discordant music playing]

[♪ music swells]

-[♪ music stops] -[pants] Whoa. It's night.

-It's the night. We made it. -[♪ upbeat jazz music playing nearby]

-Tegan, you're a legend. -[breathes deeply]

-[Briar] You good? -Uh, totally.

Just remind me to replenish my electrolytes later.

That was quite the jump. [chuckles]

Yeah.

-[♪ music stops playing] -[insects chirping]

-[Ms. Graves] May I have a word? -Sure. What's up?

I just received some upsetting news

-about Mr. Kittredge. -Uh-huh. Something happen?

This is a resignation letter. Kittredge is retiring?

It's the strangest thing.

Is it? Man's well past the retirement age.

Yes, but he's hardly the type to leave without notice.

Or a proper goodbye. Did you know anything about this?

Never said anything to me directly.

Now that I think about it, I did overhear him

discussing travel plans last week.

Hmm.

Do you have a replacement in mind?

[sighs] No, not yet.

I mean, it's not going to be easy trying to find a head warlock

on such short notice.

You know, I... I could always step in.

[sighs] That would be wonderful.

I'll refer your name to council for official consideration.

-Great. -[Ms. Graves] Thank you, Peter.

Course. Anything you need.

[♪ intense music builds]

[♪ energetic jazz music playing live]

Has anyone seen my mom?

-Not yet. -[silverware clinking]

[guest] Hi, have you seen my friend?

-Oh! [scoffs] Excuse you. -Hi.

Oh, Briar, she can't see or hear us.

-Nobody can. -Still, rude.

Guys, look over here.

Oh, my God. It's really her.

-[laughter] -[Briar] She's so...

-[Tegan] Lovely? -[Sasha] Perfect?

All of the above and more.

[Ms. Graves chuckles softly] I plead the fifth.

[Tamora] Of course she did. Anyway.

Thank you, T. You have no idea

how much this means to me just to see her like this again.

-Of course. -We really were little terrors...

-Yeah. -...back then, weren't we?

Poor Agnes, she never stood a chance.

Do you remember in the potion class

when Mary actually, adjusted the recipe for the speed tonic?

Yes, I remember, because we drank it

and then we all moved in slow motion

for, like, a week

[chuckles] In my defense, I still can't follow

-a recipe to save my life. -[laughs] Aw.

It's true. She could barely boil pasta.

I never minded, though,

l would choose Mom and Chinese takeout

-any day of the week. -[Tegan] That's sweet.

It's weird, the little things you miss about someone once they're gone.

[♪ delicate music playing]

I know what you mean.

[Ms. Graves] Mar, is everything okay? You keep checking your phone.

Yeah, sorry. It's just...

Briar and I got into a big argument this morning

about a guy she's seeing. Classic bad boy type.

[Ms. Graves chuckles] Oh, so, like mother, like daughter?

[sighs] Um, she's not answering my texts or my calls now.

I... I may need to go soon.

[Ms. Graves] Okay, well, memory lane has been lovely,

but it's probably best to get down to business.

Uh, Tamora, why'd you ask us here?

Now and then, I like to divine the future,

mostly to track changes in the housing market,

but this week, I noticed something... troubling

[Tamora breathes deeply]

[♪ dramatic music plays]

What is that?

[Sasha] An ancient rune.

-Meaning what exactly? -Chaos and death.

Something wicked is coming to New Orleans.

But I know what can stop it.

♪ Hey, I'm the bad guy Here to save the... ♪

Hey. Couple of the guys are getting together for a game

of pickleball and I got my hands on enchanted paddles

that never miss. You in?

Uh, actually, I'm... I'm heading out.

[Dylan] You want company?

No, this one's more of a solo mission.

Well... okay, not to sound like your sister,

but maybe you should take a beat and reassess,

given the whole probation situation.

Right. You do sound like McKenna.

Uh... [chuckles] I only mean, when you go on a mission,

you tend to start fires. Sometimes literally.

Yeah, that was... that was one time last year.

And you got suspended

for almost burning down the school.

I burned some curtains during a failed summoning spell.

Summoning spell? Wha--

Who do you know who's dead? Your... your dad?

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

Look, I gotta go, okay? I have somewhere to be.

Jake, I'll come with you, as backup.

Look, there's a reason why warlocks don't have covens.

I'm better off alone.

You're one of Briar's classmates, aren't you?

And you're her boyfriend?

Um, not sure we're using labels yet, but, uh,

close enough.

-I'm Ollie. -Jake.

I think I've, uh, seen you here before, once or twice.

Usually on... on warlock business,

gathering intel,

making sure no vampires are stepping out of line.

or attacking humans, stuff like that.

Cool.

So, Briar tells me you only drink animal blood.

-Never human. True? -True.

So, what kind of roadkill is on the menu tonight?

Possum. I... I don't recommend it.

So, do you ever miss it?

The taste of human blood? The thrill of the kill?

I wouldn't know.

That's interesting. [clears throat]
