-[electricity crackling] -[♪ tense music playing]

[panting] Peter, are you okay?

Well, aside from the unforgiving hunger and nagging frostbite...

yeah, I'm great. [sighs]

How long have you been here?

I don't know. [breathes heavily] A couple weeks, maybe longer.

-I lost count. -So, this whole time,

someone's been impersonating you.

-A powerful Warlock. -[exhales shakily]

[Peter] Shapeshifting for that long?

Most of us can barely hold on for an hour.

How did I not see this? I should have known.

-He... he... he wasn't you. -[Peter] Hey, hey, no.

There's no way you could have known.

He's using dark magic. He's fully cloaked.

He knows everything about me.

Only reason he's keeping me alive.

-Did you see his real face? -No.

One minute I'm in my classroom packing up,

the next, I'm being attacked by somebody with my face.

Tried to fight him off, but he got me through a portal.

We have to get out of here.

[Peter] No. Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey! It's no use.

-[pants] -He stripped us of our magic.

[Ms. Graves] Okay.

[Peter] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

There's no way out.

The door and walls are warded with dark magic.

I learned the hard way.

[♪ tense music builds]

There's no escape. [breathes heavily]

[footsteps approaching]

[door creaking open]

[♪ menacing music playing]

[in Peter's voice] Weird, huh?

Losing your magic.

The one thing that makes you special.

You never get used to it. [sighs]

It's you, isn't it?

William.

You always were the smartest one in school.

[♪ menacing music builds]

[in normal voice] Hey, Em. Been a minute.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Ms. Graves] How is this even possible?

Your powers were bound permanently.

In our world, nothing is permanent.

The Council will wonder where I am.

-They'll come looking for me. -[William laughs]

To everyone outside this room, you're a murderer,

and I'm the hero who stopped you.

It's amazing how much people trust me when I'm wearing your face.

You killed Mary and Tamora. For what? Revenge?

Well, partly.

I also sleep better knowing your coven can't take me down this Winter Solstice.

The boy you knew, he's all grown up now, Em.

Smarter, more cautious, and infinitely more powerful.

[♪ sinister music playing]

[train bell ringing]

[birds chirping]

[♪ soft laid-back music playing]

[oven door closes]

First Witchgiving with my trio. This is legendary.

Do we cast gratitude spells or just aggressively eat?

I vote both. Definitely both.

-[Sasha chuckles] -There can be magic and dessert.

What else could you ask for?

Sasha, counter-clockwise please.

We want a stiff peak, not a sad spiral.

-Yes, chef. -[chuckles]

Mm! Miss Baptise, these are so good.

You'll have to send me the recipe.

I don't bake, but I want to be someone who does.

-[chuckles] -Please, call me "Elodie."

-[chuckles] -[Briar] [chuckles]

[breathes deeply] Mm.

[♪ uplifting ethereal music playing]

[gasps] My mom made that exact same decoration

every Thanksgiving.

It's more than a decoration.

Traditionally, and I'm talking going back centuries,

witches weren't exactly welcome at the table.

We were outcasts, and in some places we still are.

[Sasha] We had to start our own traditions...

-[Elodie] Mm-hmm. -...make our own Witchgiving.

So...

-goldenrod for acceptance. -[Elodie] Hmm.

-Bay leaf for gratitude. -[chuckles]

And rolls because they're delicious.

[laughs]

Wow, my mom was keeping the tradition alive

-and I didn't even know it. -[Elodie] Mm-hmm.

You know, there's so much I would ask her.

I'm sorry Graves took that away from you.

It's still hard to believe she could have killed someone.

Anyone. Let alone your mom.

[Elodie] I know this is a lot to handle for all of you.

For me too. I've known her since I was at Crescent Veil.

Wait, did you know my mom too?

[chuckles] I did.

She was a freshman when I was a senior.

A powerful witch, even back then.

Her whole coven was.

Emma Graves, well,

she was already years ahead of everyone else.

We were all in awe of her,

which makes this particularly devastating.

Well, the good news is

the council won't stop until they find her.

Today... let's just enjoy.

Yes. That! "Doom and gloom" is not on the menu.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

-[thunder rumbling] -[raindrops pattering]

-[dogs barking in the distance] -[breathes heavily]

Can you pretend to be normal for a sec?

I'm totally normal.

I mean, I know things are tense between you and Briar's trio.

I mean, they're not exactly your biggest fans either.

I'm acutely aware, but it's Witchgiving.

I know. I know. It's the... it's the one day

where we pretend to get along with the people

we don't actually get along with.

Exactly. So, let's just get through it, okay? [sighs]

Yeah. It's not the people in there I'm worried about.

What are you talking about?

-[doorbell ringing] -Um...

-[♪ gentle music playing] -I may have...

[inhales deeply] ...slightly offended a vampire.

How many times have I warned you to stay away from--

-[door lock clicks] -Jake.

-McKenna. -[chuckles]

Come in.

-Thank you for having us. -Thank you. They're beautiful.

[sighs] Um, I'm sorry about the snowstorm in Chicago.

You might not be able to make it home,

but tonight, we are all family.

Does that mean sweet potato casserole?

With toasted pecans and extra mini marshmallows.

[chuckles] You're welcome.

-[chuckles nervously] -[chuckles, sighs]

-[Sasha] I can take your coat. -[Jake] You sure?

-[Sasha] Yeah, of course. -[Jake] Yeah, thank you.

Hi.

I heard about the coma. You okay?

-Best nap ever. -[chuckles]

I... I've never been so hungry, which is actually great,

because now everything tastes, like, ridiculously amazing.

[chuckles] Uh, is it snowing in Utah too?

[hesitates] More like a lack of funds

-for a plane ticket. -[Mckenna] Oh.

Which is totally fine, because I'd much rather

be here with my friends.

-[chuckles] -[♪ inquisitive music playing]

So, who am I dealing with today? Bob or aggro dark magic guy?

How about... how about just Jake?

Yeah, works for me. [chuckles]

-You okay? -[inhales deeply] Hanging in.

I mean, first Thanksgiving without your mom, that's huge.

Yeah, but I keep telling myself

that she'd want me to make the best of it.

Maybe have an extra slice of pie for her.

-[chuckles] Yeah, something like that. -[Jake] Yeah.

-[Briar chuckles] -[rain pattering]

[♪ menacing music playing]

[doorbell ringing]

-[Sasha] Oh, hi. -[♪ music concludes]

What's he doing here?

Sasha's mom told me to invite him.

[♪ pensive music playing]

-[Briar chuckles, smooches] -[smooches]

-Hey, you. -Hi, I'm so glad you're here.

He can't come in.

-This is true. -Ah, yes, uh, the invitation.

-Ollie, please, come inside. -Thank you.

-[chuckles] -[♪ dark sinister music playing]

[sighs]

[knocking on door]

[in Peter's voice] Come in.

-[♪ music concludes] -We're finally getting there.

Last of the Covening Ceremony forms.

-Just need your signature. -Excellent.

You've been invaluable during this transition.

It's amazing what we can accomplish

-when the kids are away. -[pen clatters]

[♪ pensive music playing]

Losing Miss Graves has been hard on all of us.

Mm-hmm.

I know she meant something to you.

I didn't want to believe she was guilty.

But why else would she run?

I had a feeling she was hiding some kind of secret,

but I never could have imagined something like...

[breathes deeply] ...this.

She fooled everyone. But today is a new day.

Winter Solstice is coming. The ley lines will open

and give us a much-needed renewal.

We'll get through this, Agnes.

Together.

-I'm hopeful. -Yeah.

-[breathes deeply] -[♪ tense music playing]

[door closing]

[♪ music concludes]

My mum's favorites, shortbread biscuits.

Or "cookies," as you guys say.

They look delicious. Thank you.

-[indistinct chatter] -[♪ tender music playing]

-[blows air] -[chuckles softly]

[smooches]

[smoke detector beeping]

Not again, ugh. Um... [breathes sharply]

From ruin's edge, turn back the flame,

let savory splendor now reclaim.

-[magical twinkling] -[sighs]

Who are you and what have you done with my mother?

Okay, I know I said no magic in the kitchen.

I believe the exact words were,

"Anything less than handcrafted is cheating."

Okay, but maybe I'm learning to bend my rules a little bit.

Hmm.

Is that why you told Briar to invite him?

I did it for the same reason you invited McKenna.

-[sighs] -[Elodie] On this holiday,

the harder it is to be with someone, the better.

Mom, McKenna didn't murder my brother.

And neither did that boy.

[indistinct chatter]

Look...

I wish I could embrace the spirit of Witchgiving.

But it's just, after Mason, it's hard.

I know.

And today was a step, and that's enough.

[breathes deeply]

I was gonna wait until everyone left,

but I can't. [chuckles, sighs]

It came by drop-portal this morning.

-I may have taken a peek. -[breathes heavily]

[gasps]

-[shakily] I got in! -[chuckles]

[gasps] Only, like, one percent of the one percent

make it into Coven Academy Florence.

-You're that special. -[gasps] I...

I applied when we couldn't find a third,

when I was desperate.

I know it's going to be hard to leave your friends,

but, Sasha, this is what you've always dreamed of.

Do you know how many current council members

have gone to Florence?

-All of them. -[♪ tender music playing]

-That could be you one day. -[clicks tongue, hesitates]

I... I don't know what to say.

I do. "Italy, here I come."

[chuckles softly]

[Elodie breathes deeply]

[♪ tense music playing]

-[Ms. Graves breathes heavily] -It's too dangerous, Em.

Our students are in danger.

I have to protect them, or die trying.

-[grunts] -[pants]

My money's on you every time.

-[footsteps approaching] -[door opening]

[Ms. Graves] Here he comes.

[♪ dark sinister music playing]

Miss me?

William... [grunts] ...I can't imagine

how difficult things were for you after that night.

What doesn't kill you.

[hesitates] Listen, our coven...

our coven did what we had to do.

-It wasn't personal. -[scoffs]

We were friends.

And not a day goes by that I don't feel bad about that.

-Now who's putting on an act? -No, no, no, it's not an act.

-[sighs] -[Ms. Graves] Truly.

I'm sorry.

[♪ dark thrilling music playing]

[grunts, breathes heavily]

[inhales, groans]

[grunts]

I've picked up a few tricks since school, Emma. [chuckles]

-[chokes, gasps] -[chokes, gasps]

-[gasps, coughs] -[gasps, coughs]

Save your strength for the Solstice.

-[pants] -[pants]

-[♪ soft tender music playing] -[Jake chuckles softly]

-Thanks, Ms. B. -You're welcome. [chuckles]

And for you, Ollie, from the butcher.

Briar said this is your preference.

-Thank you. -You're welcome.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[gasps]

I'm sorry, uh, I... I tried to stop it.

No worries. I got it.

Let's begin.

[sighs] I couldn't be more thankful for all of you to be here.

♪ ...You can have it It's just magic... ♪

Now, humor your mother, and let's each of us

say something we're thankful for.

I'll go first. [inhales]

I am thankful to finally be at the grown-ups table.

[all chuckle]

Oh, and for being alive, of course.

All of this is new to me. Americans are very sentimental.

-[chuckles] -[chuckles]

But, uh, I guess I'm thankful that I've started realizing

my old life might be over.

And maybe recently, I'm seeing that a new one can start too.

♪ ...Let go for dear life Just free fall ♪

-[♪ music concludes] -[clears throat]

I guess it's my turn.

Thanksgiving was my mom's favorite holiday.

She would have loved tonight.

Homemade food she didn't have to cook?

[chuckles] That was totally her jam.

-[inhales sharply] -[♪ sentimental music playing]

A lot of the times my dad was away for work,

so it would just be the two of us.

We would watch the parade,

pick out our five favorite floats,

order takeout...

and then we'd camp out in the living room

with sleeping bags, making s'mores by the fireplace.

That was her kind of magic.

[inhales sharply]

[shakily] I'm thankful for...

[inhales deeply]

...her. [sighs]

[♪ sentimental music rises]

I'm sorry, I just need a minute.

[sniffs, breathes shakily]

[exhales] Oh, Mom. [breathes shakily]

I... I should check on her.

-You shouldn't even be here. -[♪ tense music playing]

[hesitates] Try the stuffing.

Uh, it does have bacon, which I... I agree shouldn't

be in everything, but in this case, it is amazing.

Fellas, this isn't what Briar needs.

-You know what I'm thankful for? -Hmm?

I'm thankful that you haven't attacked anyone yet.

-[Ollie] Briar trusts me. -Hmm?

-Why can't you? -[inhales]

Because I've seen the real you.

You remember?

Follow me.

-[door closing] -[sighs]

Is this about the scrying mirror again?

Forget the mirror, okay?

Vampires are like a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off.

-I know that first-hand. -Slow down.

You have to take this seriously.

I mean, you out of all people should know that.

-[inhales deeply] -[♪ pensive music playing]

Sasha, I... I've seen how hard it's been for you.

I've seen your tears.

I know, and you've been there for me...

but this is different.

Is it though? I mean, he... he's a... he's a killer.

And we're... and we're just gonna

eat turkey right across from him?

It's hard for me too. [breathes sharply]

But it's Witchgiving, so I'm trying.

It's not safe, Sasha.

[sighs heavily]

Jake, you've always had this need

-to save everyone. -Here it comes. [sighs]

[Sasha] No.

I happen to love that side of you.

But, Jake, you're not yourself lately.

The anger, the aggression, it's the dark magic.

I haven't touched it in a week.

[♪ tense music playing]

Are you reading me again? [scoffs] Oh, my God!

See, this! This is why we never would have worked.

Get out of my head, Sasha. I need some air.

Jake!

-Jake! -[door closing]

[sighs, breathes deeply]

Hey, Jake. Where do you think you're going?
