How could you never tell me I had a twin sister?
Or that I'm a werewolf?
Wolf shifter.
Ah! What?
Werewolves aren't a real thing.
Shifters chose when to run our wolves.
We're not controlled by the moon.
There are other kinds of shifters too.
Lions, bears, even birds.
Is that my father?
Jonathon LeBron.
Your real last name is not Jackson, it is LeBron.
I gotta tell you, Mom,
a fake ID is not making my top ten questions right now.
I'm Lienda.
Yeah, I know who you are.
I know you walked out on me and Dad
and now that you're in trouble you come back.
It is more complicated than that.
I hope that your adventure in the human world was worth it.
As far as I'm concerned, you can stay there.
You can be mad at me all you want,
but your mother doesn't deserve it.
This is what I saw in those dreams.
It's all real, mi amor.
Dragons, sorcerers, wolves.
We'll explain everything,
but we should get back to the house.
It's not safe this close to the boundary.
So, they're just going to live here now?
After she abandoned us.
That's not fair. You don't know anything about us.
Well, whose fault is that?
It's certainly not Mischa's.
Try having some sympathy, for how hard this is for her.
You don't have to defend me, I can take care of myself.
Nice family reunion.
We are a family.
We'll enroll Mischa at the Supernatural Academy tomorrow.
And I expect you to look out for her.
[Mischa groans]
I can't believe I have to wear this.
Stop tugging. I got those tailored, you know.
Yeah. Thanks for the loan. For the twentieth time.
Oh! Wow!
What? Whoa!
[Mischa laughs]
Whoa!
Wow!
[upbeat music]
-Wow! -Could you even try to be cool?
Not really.
Still gripping my head around a school
full of vampires and were...
Shifters.
That's not a headband, is it?
Bunny shifter. Is a fashion choice.
I can do it too.
Ah! Don't do that?
Actually, that was kind of cute.
When you're ready, I'll teach you how.
Jessa, what did you do?
Duplication spell gone wrong?
Do you know how illegal that is?
I like the hair though. You should try it for real.
Hi, I'm Jae. I use they and them.
Mischa. She and her.
She's my twin sister.
Apparently, when my mom ran out on my dad
they split the assets.
Mischa, this is Max, Brax, Terra and you already met Jae.
Vampire, shifter, magic user, faerie.
[all] Hi!
So, do you go here now?
-Starting today. -Wow! This is a lot.
I know, right?
And my dad's like, show her around, help her fit in.
Like it's no big deal.
That's so unfair. Is that your uniform too?
Thank you for noticing.
[Jonathon] Sorry to interrupt the fun,
I need to take Mischa to the Headmaster's office
to enroll her.
Why can't mom take me?
It's better if I handle it.
Dad is Pack Alpha, and Stratford Council Leader.
People don't say no to him.
I know this is a big adjustment...
Please, give it a chance, Mischa.
[soft music]
Oh! This pack just got so much cooler.
I know, right? Two Jessas!
I haven't been able to go online all day.
Do I need a password?
Oh! We don't have that here.
Wait? What!
No Wi-Fi? No 5G?
The cloaking spell that keeps the town hidden
interferes with wireless signal.
Wait here while I talk to the headmaster.
How do you text your friends?
Oh, you can see your friends in person.
My friends don't live here.
Right. I'm sorry.
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Mischa sighs]
You've never mentioned a second daughter.
She's being living with her mother outside the boundary.
And how is Lienda adjusting to Stratford
after all these years.
It must be quite difficult for you.
We're both focused on the girls.
Of course.
Mischa hasn't come into her powers yet.
I'll be paying her tithe.
No powers? At sixteen!
Probably a side effect of living among the humans.
Our upper school students
are generally expected to tithe their own tuition fees.
[suspense music]
But I suppose we can make an exception.
Thank you.
[footsteps]
-[Elda] Wild haircut. -Me?
You definitely needed a makeover, but this is a miss.
Elda, I see you've met our new student.
-New? -My daughter, Mischa.
I'm Headmaster Kristov.
Your father has explained your situation
and we're happy to accept you on probation
until your powers come in.
My daughter Elda can help you get acclimated.
Be a goodwill ambassador, dear.
Yes, Father.
Come on, I'll show you around.
Thanks, but I'm good.
[students talking]
-How'd it go? -OK, I guess.
I met the Headmaster's daughter.
We hate her, right?
Right? The worst.
-Where's the register? -The what?
Oh, you don't need money here.
Your tuition covers it. Our table is under the window.
See you over there.
[mermaid] Hey! Newbie!
Lesser Jessa!
Yeah! You.
It's grab and go, no stop and stare.
Oh, sorry.
Can I reach something for you?
I don't need your help.
Keep it holstered unless you want to start something.
Stop gawking.
I just offered to help.
Does she look like she needs your help?
[Mischa] Woah!
Is she a...?
Is that a...?
[Mischa chuckles]
Whoa!
You didn't get any food?
No. She just pissed off a mermaid on her first day.
Nice. Any bones broken?
No.
Also, I just met a mermaid, so there's that!
Don't take it personally,
they tend to be pretty grouchy on dry-land.
You can share mine.
[Jessa] What do you like? Pizza?
Ribs? I have two pot pies if you don't mind liver.
Can I just get a protein bar? Maybe an apple?
Hey, are those energy shots?
I love those! What flavor did you get?
-You don't want those. -[Brax] It's hemoglobin.
Max needs his daily dose or he gets...
well, hangry doesn't quite cover it.
All Vampires do.
So, you really drink...
[Max chuckles]
Not without permission.
These have all the nutrients I need.
Is it rude to ask how're you out in the daytime?
Is it a special spell?
[all laughs]
Humans get everything wrong.
Dramatic license, I guess?
I don't have to worry about daylight.
I do hate garlic, though.
I'll remember that.
You can have these if you want.
You're sure? Thanks.
This is delicious! Is this special faerie food?
Nope. It's a nanaimo bar. I'm from Canada.
This place must seem pretty weird to you.
I mean, after growing up outside the boundary.
Sort of, I mean, I've been to a lot of schools.
I've never pissed of a mermaid before,
but every school has an Elda.
There is always someone who feels better about themselves
by telling you how ugly your hair is.
I like your hair.
[fantasy music]
[whooshing]
[Mischa chuckles]
Wow!
[fantasy music]
[Mischa] Whoa!
This one should be easy for you.
The homework's great. Human movies, human TV shows,
have you seen Friends?
You get streaming here?
I thought magic screw up the Wi-Fi.
It's Cable. Hard-wired in from the nearest town.
This place is totally trapped in the last century.
If you don't mind, Miss LeBron. And, Miss LeBron?
Sorry, Mister McQuarrie. This is my sister, Mischa.
She just moved here from New York.
Wow! From New York!
We did a unit on New York last semester.
[McQuarrie clears his throat]
Alright, Dante, go ahead.
Yes, so, I was wondering when did they discontinue
the Times Square sing-a-longs?
I'm sorry, the what?
When the sailors on leave used to visit New York,
they join in this big musical numbers. You know...
[Dante hums]
Huh?
But the more recent movies don't have any of that, so...
[Dante mumbles]
...why and when they leave off the street choruses?
-They moved to Hollywood. -The same as the baseball team
And then Brooklyn replaced the Dodgers with the Hipster.
[Mischa chuckles]
Where are you getting this stuff?
Hand. Please?
[soft music]
Do you know anything about the human world
that isn't from movies and sitcoms?
I read human publication.
From when? 1955?
Human accomplishments come and go quickly.
Few are worthy of attention.
We study the classics, Mozart, Shakespeare, Fred Astaire.
The invention of flight, the splitting of the atom,
the human version of magic.
But that's like a hundred years ago.
When was the last time you even visited a human city?
[students gasp]
-What? -I have not had the pleasure.
Then, why are you teaching this class?
[chalk breaks]
You are excused.
Mister McQuarrie, she's new here.
She doesn't know.
-Mischa, apologize! -For what?
-For being right? -For being rude!
Trolls can't visit the human world.
Look around you, not everyone can pass for human like you!
That's enough distractions. You're both excused.
Are you ever going to stop being an embarrassment?
We're lucky we weren't sent for demerits.
I'm sorry I was rude. I didn't realize.
But he was wrong about everything,
he doesn't know anything about the human world.
How cares? Let them be wrong. It's not your job to fix it.
[soft music]
That's your room.
Dad made special arrangements to put you next door
so I can look after you.
Well, I'm sorry to be so much trouble.
I didn't ask to come here
and you don't have to make it so obvious
you think I'm a loser.
And you could at least try to fit in.
Fit in? You mean to be just like you.
Because you're so perfect?
-I never said that! -You didn't have too!
[door slams]
-[Jessa gasps] -[door slams]
[sad music]
Oh, come on!
[Mischa growls]
[sad music]
[upbeat music]
[hoverball whooshing]
[Mischa groans]
[Mischa gasps] No!
You can tell Jessa I'm fine,
she doesn't have to babysit me.
Jessa didn't send us,
we just wanted to make sure you were OK.
We noticed that you weren't at lunch.
[Brax laughs] OK.
Max noticed.
I'm not used to all this people
and the one person I want to talk too
is really far away.
I'll like to be alone.
Supernaturals aren't wired to be alone.
Specially not wolf shifters.
The besties have been a pack since we met in seventh grade.
And now you're in it too.
Even if I'm fighting with Jessa?
Brax gets on my last nerve all the time.
He's still my brother. Pack is like that.
I never had any kind of pack.
It was always just me and my mom.
What's your Mom like?
Jessa's always wondered about her.
She's the one thing I can always count on.
Jessa's life here seems so perfect.
Nice house, beautiful school, bunch of friends.
But now I feel sad for her.
She didn't have our mom.
It's OK.
[Brax sighs]
[mom] Is this what I think it is?
Just bought it back from Moscow this week.
I haven't had one of these in years.
-Go ahead. - Medovic.
[Lienda sighs]
Don't worry about it, it's just been a while.
Now try.
[both] Medovic.
[buzzing]
I don't know how much longer
I can keep pretending to be angry at you.
If people find out the real reason,
it would all be for nothing.
Maybe you shouldn't have brought her here.
If the spell breaks,
their powers would light this place up like a beacon.
Where was I supposed to go once that harpy found us?
She would have killed me, and taken Mischa if she could.
This is the only place I could come
whether you want me back, or not.
What are you doing here?
I want to talk to my mother.
Well, too bad because I need my dad right now.
I know it was harder for you in the human world,
but you would never let me help.
Anything you sent could have been used to track us.
I just hope it was all worth it.
Seeing Mischa after all these years,
seeing both our girls safe and strong,
that's what makes it worth all the sacrifices.
All the years together we lost.
[happy music]
You need to stop being everywhere I want to be.
Excuse me, but I got here first.
It's still not your house.
-[Jessa gasps] -What?
[door opens]
I have a lot of questions.
You've being lying to me my whole life
and she's being lying to you!
It's not that simple.
You told me she ran out on us,
you told me she wanted to explore the world
more than she wanted to be a mother.
But none of that was true.
I never stop loving both of you.
You're supposed to hate her!
If you still love each other, then why weren't you together?
Why aren't we all together?
Because you are dragon-marked.
[Jessa gasps]
Dragon-marked? Is that a thing?
In every generation
a few supernaturals are born
with the Mark of the Dragon King.
You don't actually believe this.
It is our history.
To protect the community,
the dragon-marked live in cloisters warded against magic.
It keeps them safe from the curse
and keeps the rest of us safe from them.
Because of a birth mark? That's screwed up.
When you two were born, when we saw the marks,
we were supposed to turn you over to the enforcers.
They would've taken you away,
we would've never seen you again.
They are lying again, no mark.
We had help from a powerful sorcerer
who put spell on you both to hide the marks
and to keep your powers suppressed
so you could live as a human.
Your mother left behind her home
and everyone she loved.
You were never supposed to know.
I could've lived my whole life never knowing who I really was
or were I came from.
For your safety.
If anyone finds out,
our whole family could wind up in prison.
You can't tell anyone, not your friends,
not Fern, not anyone.
[Jonathon] You just need to act
like everything's normal.
[suspense music]
Act like everything's normal? How're we supposed to do that?
Nothing here is normal, so I'm way ahead of you.
I can't believe I'm supposed to keep
this secret from my besties.
I tell Terra everything!
I feel like my whole life has been turned upside down.
Again, way ahead of you.
We learn about the dragon marked our whole lives.
Dragon marks upon the skin,
cloisters keep them safe within.
The Dragon King has cursed them all,
when he rises, we will fall.
Oh! Nice propaganda!
If I'm cursed, wouldn't I know it?
Wouldn't I feel different?
Or the whole thing is bull
and your supernatural utopia
is just as screwed up as the human world.
What does this dragon mark look like, anyway?
I've never seen one. Like a dragon. I guess.
Hang on a second.
Like this?
Wow! That's me and Brax. That's the kid we saw.
And the door?
No idea.
That kid was running for his life.
Kristov took him through there, and that's all I know.
But how did you know about it?
I have dreams sometimes.
Look here! On his arm,
is that what a dragon mark looks like?
So, this whole time we've been connected
and we didn't even know it?
What else did you see?
A couple of dragons, mostly wolves.
Mostly your wolf.
[suspense music]
I never saw you.
We need to find out what happened to that kid.
If we're dragon-marked like he is,
then he's in our pack.
We have to look out for him.
[crickets chirping]
We still don't know anything
about that kid that we saw in the woods,
but we do know that the door we saw Kristov pool out
of thin air would take serious magic.
I wanna know where he was going.
And there is one place I can think of to find out.
[Max] The Headmaster's study?
Do you know how well warded that is?
[Jessa] The staircase is sealed after the last curfew bell.
The stonework is enchanted to prevent climbing.
And there's shielding to prevent fly ups.
How do you know...?
-Never mind. -But there is a way up there.
-Tithe lines -Of course, tithe lines.
Now, let's see.
[Jessa] Every inch of campus is linked together by tithe lines.
Every student here
is contributing power to the school's grid.
[Terra] Except Mischa. She doesn't have her power yet.
Terra can reveal the lines
and a faerie can tap their natural magic
to ride the waves.
-At your service. -I'm in.
Sorry, Brax, the tithe lines are delicate and you're...
-You're Brax. -[Brax groans]
You're on aerial duty. Help Max keep watch.
Night vision...
Activated.
[soft music]
Mischa, you're with Terra.
Ready?
[soft music]
[buzzing]
-Wow! -Whoa!
[buzzing]
[Jessa chuckles]
Wow!
[Jae gasps]
That was weird...
[Brax grunts]
[Mischa] Whoa!
Whoa! That's...
Wow!
[soft action music]
-[explosion] -[Brax growls]
I don't think I've ever been in this room
when I wasn't in trouble.
Did you feel that surge halfway up?
There's more power in the grid than I expected.
Can we talk about this later?
We have to figure out where Kristov took that kid.
There's only one way to find out where that door goes.
We're gonna use these tokens to get into the hub
and find that door.
And when we find it,
we're gonna go through it ourselves.
[coin clatters]
[cryptic buzzing]
[lines buzzing]
[Terra groans]
[Terra whispers] Hurry!
[Terra groans]
Hurry!
-[alarm sirens wailing] -[Jae screams]
[alarm sirens wailing]
[Kristov] What is going on here?
[door opens and closes]
[soft music]
[Jessa sighs] I think we're OK.
That was so close!
I can't believe we got away with it.
Stick with me, sis.
This is just the beginning.
[door opens and closes]
[suspense music]
[footsteps]
[suspense music intensifies]
[music ends]
