Previously onCharmed...HARRY:
Jordan is cursed.

By the dying breath of a witch.

JORDAN: The curse isn't broken until...

You balance
the scales of justice.

That was
her direct quote.

What do you have

for me this time, Ray?

Black amber.

Where did you
get this?

RAY:
You crack this code,

you'll find out
who's behind all of this.

HARRY:
Abigael, you and I

can never be.

You bring out
the best in me, Harry.

I see you for
who you are.

You have feelings for her.

I'll take care of my affairs,

you take care of yours.

There's a handsome billionaire
awaiting your call.

MACY:
I only went out with Julian
to stop him from demolishing

the command center. I can't help it if he likes me.

You know damn well
how I feel about you.

So, please, don't make this
harder than it already is.

You should have what

and whomever your heart
desires, Macy.

Dad?

Mom? Mom!

Somebody help!

Somebody help me!

JULIAN:
That night...

it left a hole in my heart.

I mean, that's horrible.

Losing your parents like that.

I can't believe you survived.

There's a lot about
that night I can't believe.

But you...

I mean, you've dealt with
your fair share of tragedy

when it comes to your parents.

That which doesn't kill us

makes us stronger, right?

Or maybe...
it's just human nature

to bestow transformative
power onto trauma

to make it more...

palatable.

Uh, bacteria that
aren't entirely killed

by antibiotics mutate
and become resistant to it.

♪ Just keep breathing...

I mean, I-I was gonna say
the exact same thing.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry...

No, really,
though, it's, um...

it's kind of
incredible.

Even after all
that tragedy,

you still... bloomed.

Became a tech entrepreneur,

humanitarian.

Well, I owe a lot of it
to my Aunt Vivienne.

Your mom's sister?Mm-hmm.

The one who raised you?

Uh, saved me, really.

She took in this

grieving, confused...

...frankly,
pissed-off little boy and

taught me
that I could

either wallow
in my own self-pity...

or I could use it,

change the world.

And I...

I chose the latter.

It's really lucky you
had someone like that.

I've been fortunate to have...

inspiring women in my life.

♪ Just keep breathing...

And it seems
I'm on a winning streak.

♪ Hold on...

I'm just...

♪ It'll be all right

♪ If I just keep breathing...

Sweet dreams.

♪ We'll just keep breathing

♪ If I just keep breathing

♪ Hold on, hold tight

♪ It'll be all right

♪ Just keep breathing.

Damn it, Harry!

What is the point of having
Abigael as the Overlord

if this crap
keeps on happening?

Well, the Demon World's
a big place.

There's always going to be
bloodthirsty rogues who act up.

That Malignant preyed
on young witches.

If we hadn't shown up...

I know.

But Abby has kept the
other 99% under control.

As far as
leaders go,

that's pretty effective.

Tell that to this
gaping wound on your arm

from that Malignant's claw.

Bullocks!

Well, someone has
to rule the demons.

Preferably someone we
have a relationship with.

And what is that...
relationship,

exactly?

Mel?

Mel, look.

These black spots.

How long have you had these?

Well, they weren't there

when I got dressed
this morning.

How do you feel?

Tired after the rescue mission,

otherwise....

Maybe The Book of Elders
has something.

Harry.

JORDAN:
Truth is powerful.

Not because it makes you right
and someone else wrong.

Not because it makes you better

and someone else worse.

Because it doesn't need
others to believe it

to be so.

And my truth

is... the ghost
of a dead witch

tried to kill me.

Mm-hmm.

JORDAN: I've
been cursed,

and I'm trying
to un-curse myself.

Make things
right.

Now, it may
sound crazy.

The truth often does.

Mm-hmm.

My family
abandoned me.

My friends
stopped calling.

I'm just so grateful
to have found this MESS.

Thank you all
for listening.

ALL:
Your mess becomes your message.

Your test becomes
your testimonial.

LEADER: See you
next week.

Nice.

Think you even made one guy cry.

Maybe he's been dragged through
a hallway paranormal-style, too.

That should be its own club.Hmm.

Any sign of that tattoo?

Mm.

Dad's, uh, cop friend Choochi

said the license plate
on Nadia's getaway car

was registered
to this address.

So, it's no coincidence
this place

hosts support meetings
for the occult.

MAN:
Hey.

Um...

I just, I really connected
with your story.

Thanks.

Yeah.

I-I couldn't help but notice

that cool toy
you've got there.

Oh, yeah, an Army buddy
and I found it

on patrol one night
in Afghanistan.

Ah.A local did say

it holds some
kind of power.

Uh...

I'm Bruce.

Hi.

Uh, we should talk.

Yeah, if it wasn't
for my friend Marjorie here,

I'd be all alone.

Is that right?

Yeah, so, uh, Bruce, that
tattoo on your hand, it's...

it's really interesting.

What does it mean?

These support groups
are nice,

but you get
a lot of fakers.

A lot of wannabes.

I belong to a group

that's a little more
off the grid.

Good people,
powerful people.

And they're looking
for the real deal.

Real how?

Well, for starters,
they collect things

like that.

May I?

I've been using it
as a... good luck charm.

But you think there are
buyers in your group...

What did you say
they were called?

We don't have
a name.

Let's just say we're, uh...

true believers.

Oh, well,
we're true believers, too.

Maybe you should

introduce us.

I tell you what.

There's a party
happening tonight, uh...

Here.

It's at this address.

If you bring anyone else,
you will be turned away.

Oh.

Your photos will be at the door.

Damn.

Wish he hadn't done that.

It's bad enough
they saw Mel in the alley.

Hopefully, they won't
put it together.

Now...

I hear there's good food
in New Orleans.

Harry, I've scoured the Book,
searched remedies.

There's nothing that addresses
these plague-like symptoms.

I think this is
a demon-based infection.

Who are you calling?

Macy. Before you faint again.

We need her help.

Mel.

That's not the
help we need.

Harry, no.

I need you to make
the call. Please.

Hey, it's Mel.

And to what do I owe
this annoyance?

MEL:
It's Harry.

He's sick and he...

needs your help.

Don't forget to kiss the chef.

Oh.

Sorry.

I-I thought you were Julian.

Oh. I get that all the time.

It was a joke.

Uh-- Oh.

I'm Vivienne Laurent.

A-Aunt Vivienne?

Wow, I've heard
so much about you.

Oh.

Oh, gosh, uh, forgive me.

Oh, please.

Never apologize
for being a stiletto

in a room full of flats,

especially this early
in the morning.

You must be Macy.

You're all Julian
can talk about lately.

Huh.

Viv.

I thought
you were in Telluride.

I was. My meetings ended early,

so I thought I'd come
back to Seattle with you,

see how your projects
are doing.
Ah.

Good morning.

My Aunt Vivienne is always
helping some charity

or serving on the board
of a Fortune 500 company.

Her latest endeavor might
just win her a Nobel Prize.Oh.

Julian and I funded
a biotech startup ages ago.

It was the little engine
that couldn't.

And now it can.

She's being modest.

They're coming out
with a machine

that can do
what Theranos couldn't.

It's called the Airmid.

The Airmid. I-I think

I read about that
in Scientific American.

Ah. Macy has a PhD in
genetics from Columbia.

Well, that's very impressive.

Well, this machine

is capable of running a complete
DNA sequencing test in an hour.

That would take three weeks
with any other technology.

Exactly.

JULIAN:
Macy?

Everything okay?

His fever is getting worse.

I came as soon as I could.
How long has he been like this?

How was Aspen?

Uh, his fever and spots
started after he was attacked

by a demon.And you called her?

Harry asked me to. And you
didn't pick up, by the way.

Some Malignants carry a
certain kind of parasite,

which could've gotten
into Harry's bloodstream.

Do you know how to treat it?

Yes. I can make an antidote.

I have all the ingredients
at my apartment.

Oh, yes. You know all about
antidotes, don't you, Abigael?

Look, he called me.

You may not want my
help, but he does.

How does this antidote work?

It'll bind to and
destroy parasitic cells

in Harry's blood.

And it's safe?Yes.

If he has the parasite.

If?

And if he doesn't?

It will bind to his
other cells and... kill him.

Instantly. But I would
never offer this antidote

if I didn't believe
my prognosis.

I'd never do anything
to harm Harry.

That's a risk we can't take.

I-It could be a-a virus,
bacteria, from that claw. We...

We need to rule those out first.

I'll start by drawing his blood.

We don't have that kind of time.

I've seen creatures die within
24 hours of being infected.

You're being stubborn.

You're being reckless.

I agree with Macy. First
we do the blood test.

We don't put Harry's
life in danger unless

we absolutely
have to.

JORDAN:
So they took the bait.

They want to buy the chakram.

MAGGIE:
Yeah, that gets us in.

Then comes the hard part:
keeping them on the hook

long enough to figure
out what they're up to.

So, tonight's
a recon mission.

Done plenty of those.Mm, not like this
you haven't.

We could be walking into a room
of psychopaths, assassins.

Really dangerous
magical creatures.

"I've seen things that would
make a grown man cry."

Are you quoting me back to me?

I just--

I finally understand
what you meant.

I haven't cried yet, but--
it's still early.

Mmm. Mmm-mmm.

You know, you really don't
have to do this.

Put yourself in harm's way
like this.

Actually, I do.

Remember,
I'm still officially cursed

until I can
"balance the scales of justice."

Might as well start here.

According to that witch,
it's still my responsibility

to make things right.

Otherwise, the lives
of every boy born to my family

will be cut short at 25.

That's a big responsibility.

Not as big as the one
you're carrying.

It's nice to have
a partner in crime.

And I quite like these beignets.
And a nice vegan gumbo?

Mmm.

MACY:
Harry's blood
is highly inflamed.

His white cell count is soaring.

This is a huge
immune response.

MEL:
Do you have any idea
what's causing it?

Yes. A Malignant parasite.

Not necessarily.

No, I-I need to know
antigens, antibodies.

The genetic makeup
of what I'm seeing here.

If I were in Hilltowne,
I'd use the University lab.

ABIGAEL:
Blah, blah, blah.
May I remind you

that there's
a perfectly good antidote

lying just minutes away
at my apartment.

Perfectly good if you're right.

Otherwise, Harry dies.

He's dying now.

There has to be another way

for you to get the
equipment you need.

I have an idea.

Julian.

It's Macy.

♪ Don't stop,
keep the beat going... ♪

Remember,
take no unnecessary risks.

And we stick together.

Got it?

Copy that, Sarge.

Hey.

Oh. Hey, Bruce.

Not all the animals
are friendly around here.

Keep your arms and legs
inside the vehicle.

Follow me!

Sure.

Where did you say you got this?

An Army buddy of mine and I
found it.

And you're willing
to part with it?

Paying for grad school.

Every little bit helps,
you know?

NADIA:
Of course it does.

How much?

Hold on.

First we want to
know more about you

so we can decide if we want
to do business with you.

Don't think you're
our only buyer.

MAGGIE:
So, what exactly

does your group do?

Why? Do you want to participate?

Yes.

What are these?

Let's just say
they help open your mind.

Take them, you can join us.

And by us, you mean...

Everyone.

Don't you want to be
part of a movement?

Something bigger than yourself?

I'm vegan,

so if there's any animal
gelatin in there, I'll pass.

We're done here.
Wa--
Wait.

I'll take them.

Jordan.

Now we'll decide if we want
to do business with you.

Harry, can you
hear me?

Yes.

Wh-Where is she?

Who?

Macy.

M...

Viv?

When Julian said
he was sending someone, I-I

did not expect him to send you.

Well, the Airmid is my baby.

You think just anyone
has access to this?

No, and-and-and,

look, I-I know it's
a big ask, it's...

Who are you
working for?
What?

Come on.

I mean, Julian might be blinded
by your... PhD,

but I'm no fool.

This whole thing
has been some

corporate
espionage ruse.

Seduce Julian Shea,
take all his secrets.

No. No. That...

I mean, I-I can see
where you might think that.

If your friend is so sick,

why not just take her
to the hospital?

H-He doesn't have
health insurance.

Well, you're going
to great lengths

for this male companion
of yours.

He's like family to me.

Well, I am happy

to pay for any medical expenses
that he incurs.

We can't accept that.

'Cause your friend's
not really sick?Because this isn't

the kind of problem
you can just throw money at.

It takes time to get results,
time he doesn't have.

You know, Julian is very busy

trying to change the world.

He doesn't need
any distractions.

Look, I-I don't know
what you're thinking about me,

but you're wrong.

Time is precious.

My friend is dying.

Do I have access
to the Airmid or not?

If your friend's life
is so important,

and you need this machine
so desperately,

I'm willing to guess that
you'd do anything to get it.

Yes.

Fine.

Break it off with Julian
and we have a deal.

♪ This is the freak show

♪ This is the freak show...

Are you crazy?

You have no idea
what's in those candies.

I had to do something.

We couldn't afford
to get thrown out,

not when we're
this close.

Yeah, well, the only time I've
seen something green like that

is the darklighter's
poison,

and that nearly
killed Macy.

Uh, Jordan, something
really weird is happening.

We need to go now.
No.

We need to dance.

Jordan.

None of the spells in that
damn book are gonna work.

How long are we
gonna wait

before Macy's science
brain is satisfied?

You really care for him,
don't you?

You came up with that
all on your own?

Or was that
in The Book of Elders?

Page 2003, paragraph 14:

"Demon Overlord has feelings."

Forget I said
anything.I try,

but then there you are.

Harry could never allow himself

to love someone
as wicked as you.

You know, he's not
as I thought he'd be.

Under that

coiffed hair and tailored sport
coat lies the heart and tongue

of an adventurous,
sexual creature

who knows exactly
how to please a woman.

You two?

Would it surprise you
if we did?

Or would you rather hear
that we sat

and talked about our feelings?

Harry?

Jordan?

Jordan?

Oh, my God.

It's a resurrection.

Harry?

Harry! You need to lie down.

Help!

Abby, help!

Close your eyes. Stay asleep.

You're less trouble
when you don't make a peep.

So you about ready
for that antidote now?

Hi, this Julian Shea.

Leave a message and I'll
call you back as soon as I can.

Hi. It's Macy.

Look, I just wanted to say I-I
had a really nice time in Aspen,

but we are very
different people

from very
different worlds.

And I don't think we should
see each other anymore.

Goodbye.

A woman
of her word.

So am I.

You have 24 hours.

We make
the antidote,

but we don't use it
until we hear from Macy.

All right, Mum.

Wait.

You're using viscum album and
herb of grace?

Mm, Potion Princess
has been doing her homework.

You can't mix that
with silver weed.

You can if you add
one little thing.

Why would you do that?

It's a little trick I learned

from one of my
favorite potion books.

Return it when you're done.

Who's Francesca?

My mother.

I forget that you're half-witch.

Who also lost
her mother.

It's Macy.

It always is.

MEL :
Hey.

Mel, where did you go?

I've got the machine.

Jordan!

Jordan! Jordan!

Something horrible is happening.
We need to get out of here.

The green poison is sucking
the life force out of everyone.

To raise the dead.

Jordan!

MACY:
We should know within the hour.

But that machine won't help us
identify demonic parasites.

No. But it will tell us
the exact biological signature

of everything
in Harry's blood.

If there is a demonic parasite,

he'll show elevated levels
of tetrodotoxin.

It's a rare neurotoxin.

I, uh, I saw it
in Parker's blood

when I worked on it
in the lab.

Oh, no.
Maggie's in trouble.

Jordan's in danger.
What do we do?

Go.

Help your sister.

You must.

Harry.

We can't leave you.

It's okay.

I trust her, Macy.

Well, don't you dare die
on me...

or I'll have to kill you myself.

And you, promise me,

you only give him
the antidote

if the results show
tetrodotoxin.

We waited this long;
why risk it, right?

Thought they'd never leave.

MAGGIE:
Jordan!

Can you hear me?

Open your eyes.
Please, Jordan.

Jordan.

Maggie?

What the hell?

They're raising the dead.

What? How?

With the black amber?

And the darklighter's
poison.

They've put it in candies
to connect everyone

and drain their life force.

You guys stay here with him--
I have to go break

the connection with the shaman
before it's too late.

MAGGIE:
Hey, shaman dude.

Over here.

26, 27, 28,Come on, Jordan!

29, 30.

Maggie, your-your baton.

Thermoelectrics.

We can be
a human crash cart. Mel.

Freeze this end;
I'll heat up this end.

The temperature differential
will create

an electrical current.

Okay.

That was some strong candy.

Harry.

No!

Harry!

What did you do?

What did you do?

Apparently, I saved his life.

You were right.

It was a demon parasite.

I didn't need a machine
to tell me that.

Sometimes you have

to leap before you look,

or it's too late.

How are you feeling?

A little fatigued,
but, uh...

well, otherwise...

strangely fine.
MEL:
All right,

let's get you home.

I don't know
how to thank you.

Yes, you do.

Oh. Thank you.

Mm-hmm.

So...

you saved my life.

Again.

It's, uh...

it's getting pretty
embarrassing.

Well...

I think you've
thrown yourself

in the line of fire
for me, so...

I think we're even.

If you say so, Sarge.

Mm.

Well, congratulations.

You survived
your first mission.

Oh. Yeah.

Six weeks of boot camp
didn't kick my ass

nearly as bad as one night
in the magical world.
