-You got it. come on. -Push, push. You can do it.
Push.
Come on, push, Claudette, push.
[ Groans ]
Come on. Come on. Push.
-Push -[ Grunts ]
One, two, push.
[ Gasping ]
Come on, push, push, push.
Come on, push. You can do it. Push.
Yes! Come on!
Push, push, push.
[ Groans ]
Push, baby.
Ah!
[ Shouting indistinctly ]
[ Sobbing ]
-You did it! -You did it!
Oh, my God!
Baby! Oh, baby!
Give me the baby.
What? What?
What? What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Give me my baby.
No, no.
[ Sobbing ]
-No! -I'm so sorry.
[ Sobbing ]
-[ Screams ] -Let her go.
-[ Speaking indistinctly ] -Claudette! No!
[ Shouting indistinctly ]
[ Screams ]
[ Gasping ]
[ Baby crying ]
Oh, my God!
What have you done, Claudette!
What have you done?!
Look at her, look at her.
[ Baby crying ]
♪ Wicked, wicked, wicked, wicked ♪
♪ Are we in a wicked city?
TABITHA: I knew at that moment that she loved you deeply.
But the resurrection was a dangerous violation.
She disrupted the balance of nature,
and as a member of the Council myself,
I was forced to report her, and Caden was ordered
to bring her in for judgment.
So as punishment, she was stripped of her power.
No.
It was more severe than that.
Claudette was to be stripped of her magick.
But the magick had to go somewhere.
And the only body that was equipped
to hold death magick was yours.
Her power was transferred to you.
And then...
you were to be executed.
What?
I was a newborn.
What the fuck kind of crazy Counsel orders
the execution of a baby?
TABITHA: I know. I argued against it.
But the council wanted a life for a life.
And once the order was issued, I offered to perform the task.
But instead, I bound your powers.
That's why the magick is overwhelming you.
You have your own and your mother's considerable power.
And after the binding, Caden and I hit you away
with two powerful witches that I knew would protect you --
Kendria and Raphael Sullivan.
Wait, so they were both...
My God.
My entire life has been a lie.
No, Camille, your parents made a great sacrifice
to raise and protect you.
They gave up their entire lives for you.
The love they had for you was very real.
This is -- this is why we always moved around.
This is why they isolated me.
My entire life, I have never had any family or community.
I was just always afraid to get close to anybody.
Camille, you must understand there's a lot of dangerous
entities in the magickal world.
Your parents...
they did what they had to do to keep you safe.
I have no one!
The only two people who ever loved me are gone.
And they lied to me my entire life.
[ Scoffs ]
I guess she found Tabitha.
[ Sobs ]
Fuck.
[ Muffled scream ]
[ Knock on door ]
[ Sniffles ]
You want to talk about it?
No.
You want to be left alone?
No.
[ Door closes ]
[ Sighs ]
Caden, I really think that --
Hey, you guys.
What's wrong with Camille?
Oh, she'll be fine.
But look, Jordan, we're going to need your help.
I see you're not killing us with your magick anymore.
That's a plus.
The shock you gave me helped.
And I used some of it up in my fury.
Your fury about what?
Finding out that Claudette
is my birth mother.
I died in childbirth.
I was the one Claudette resurrected.
Her powers were transferred to me, and Tabitha hid me with...
...the people I thought were my parents.
And now Claudette's after you.
Wow.
What a fuckin' mind job.
My dad went missing five years ago.
He just disappeared and never came back.
My mom died in my arms barely a month ago.
I'm so hurt and pissed.
But I have no one to even rage at 'cause they're gone.
And I'm alone.
[ Sniffles ]
I know how you feel.
I don't think this is a good idea.
TABITHA: What are you talking about?
Look, I've screwed up a lot lately.
I mean, maybe I shouldn't be doing this.
Jordan, I can understand that you're feeling out of sorts
after everything, but, girl, you got to suck this up.
As a reader, you are our best chance of finding Claudette.
Now come on.
Come on, Jordan. You can do it.
Fuck! Fuckin' bitch.
CADEN: Did you find her?
No, it's not working,
but I actually saw something else.
Something like...
hands?
No, no, no, no.
Handling or peddling or something.
What did you say?
Some kind of peddling or trading or blood?
Red blood?
What?
What is it?
It's The Handler.
What's The Handler?
That sounds bad.
It's not what, it's who.
The handler is more than a witch.
He's a sorcerer who peddles
in the people of the magickal variety.
He's a slaver who deals in witches, and if you sensed him,
he's either close or he's headed our way.
[ Knocking on door ]
Come in.
Hey, we have a bit of a problem.
If it's magick related, count me out.
Let me know if you need anything non-magickal.
Well, it kind of affects all of us.
I don't care.
What is it? Is it Claudette?
[ Door opens ]
-Hey. What's going on? -Hey.
Just came to check in with Tabitha,
see if there's anything new.
There is. Come on.
All right, so I have the charm bags,
the tiger eyes, and the wormwood.
Good.
What are you making?
A protection spell.
Oh, Jordan, we still need the basil, the rue,
the magnetic sand, and get the African Ju Ju oil.
Okay.
All this for Claudette?
No, fortunately, Jordan sensed another threat,
a sorcerer by the name of The Handler.
[ Chuckles ] The Handler? What's his real name?
Nobody knows.
Why weren't we doing all of this for Claudette?
Honey, as dangerous as Claudette is, The Handler is worse.
And now we have to worry about both of them.
But this spell is going to help each of you.
I swear we didn't have any of these problems
before Camille showed up.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
You're not going to put this on Camille.
You want to blame somebody, you blame me.
I didn't prepare you.
So let's just deal with the here and now, okay?
Okay, so I got the Ju Ju oil and the basil,
and we're kind of out of rue and magnetic sand.
Someone bought it yesterday.
You know what? I have some at home.
And I think Angela probably has the rue.
So, Jordan, you watch the shop, and I'll be back soon, okay?
JORDAN: Okay.
Oh, I got to get something else.
[ Music playing softly ]
ANGELA: I'm sorry for everything that's happened.
You dying, the wraith.
My stupid potion.
Sherise.
MONA: It wasn't Sherise.
It was just time.
Look, I know I don't always show it,
but what we had, it meant the world to me.
It was beautiful.
[ Laughs ]
But it had to end.
We weren't meant to last forever,
even if we both wanted to.
Life happens. People change.
I change.

[ Birds chirping ]
Oh, thank you.
[ Knock on door ]
[ Door opens ]
Sherise.
Welcome.
You want to have a seat?
You said it was important.
Yeah, so Tabitha said something about someone named The Handler.
Said he was a bigger threat than you.
Who the fuck is The Handler?
You care to share, Darletra?
Ever been on a leash?
Had a collar around your neck?
That's what The Handler does.
He'll put you in a magickal slave collar
and sell you to the highest bidder.
Are you for real?
I mean, if he's that dangerous, why hasn't the Council
killed him yet?
Oh, that's the benefit of being a shape shifter.
No one knows his true face.
And to be honest, the Council can't.
He has a lot of power and loyalty.
And he's coming here? Why?
You'll find out soon enough.
Now, tell me what Tabitha and your friends are up to.
And you promise to keep my friends safe, right?
As long as you hold up to your end.
Yes.
You help me get Camille,
keep them out of my way, and your friends are safe.
And I'll teach you how to use
that considerable power you have.
All right, well,
Tabitha is creating a protection spell
against you and The Handler.
[ Scoffs ]
That's cute.
Bring it to me.
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
I'm not going back to The Handler.
I'd rather die first.
Then we need to get what we came for.
The coven is under-trained.
Tabitha and Caden are our only threat.
With Sherise.
We can move soon.
[ Birds chirping ]
CAMILLE: I call upon the spirit of Kendria Sullivan.
I call upon the spirit of Kendria Sullivan.
It's not going to work.
Are you following me?
It's for your protection.
What do you mean it's not going to work?
If I can call on spirits, why can't I call on my mom?
Sometimes those closest to you are easy to call.
Sometimes they're the hardest.
Kendria appears to be more elusive.
Caden, why are you here?
CADEN: I know you think you're alone.
But you're not.
Claudette is my sister, which makes you my blood.
Wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
So I'm your niece?
What do I call you? Like my aunt?
You call me Caden.
You don't trust me. I get it.
We've kept a lot from you.
I want you to know that you have family.
And I will always protect you.
That's why you saved me.
Yes.
Listen, I believe The Handlers impending arrival
and Claudette are linked.
Camille, you must be careful.
I have to go meet with a contact.
But in the meantime, keep this with you at all times.
What did you do to it? It's hot.
I spelled so you can notify me if you ever in trouble.
Rub it in a circular motion, and I will find you.
I must go. I'll be back soon.
Hey, Caden. Be careful.
Alright. Have a good day.
Thank you. You too.
You too. Oh, hey, Camille.
I'm so glad that you're here.
Your headaches okay?
Angela gave me some more of the potion,
and it's really stabilized me.
-Great. -Um, look.
-I need to talk to you. -But first, I need you
see what we're up to. Come on.
[ Bubbling ]
Jordan, I told you to keep watch out front.
It's two customers, including Ms. Finkle.
You know she never buys anything.
What's going on?
Protection spell for The Handler,
Claudette, everything.
Ogun, we call on you
in this dangerous hour.
Lend us the power of protection with your sort of iron.
Spirits be moved to keep evil away.
Banish all who harm in malicious ways.
Okay, now it's your turn.
Solid or liquid?
You're gonna use both.
But do the solid first.
[ Sizzling ]
-Wow. -Help her out.
That's good.
Oh. One more.
TABITHA: That's perfect.
Now, do the liquid.
[ Bubbling ]
Put the tops on.
Alright. That's it.
Now you all have your charm bag and your oil.
Keep the sand on you.
And here.
Use these oils to anoint
doorways, windows, or yourselves.
What does this symbol mean?
Nyame Dua.
It's a West African symbol of protection.
Um, I'll take Mona hers.
And can I talk two?
Oh, go on now. It's okay. Go. I'll finish up.
Okay.
Claudette is your mother, and you want to what?
I want to find her.
I know I've been struggling with my magick a bit,
but I think with the both of you, we can do it.
And now I got this trusty protection magick --
Camille, protection magick does not mean
go running towards danger.
Yeah, it means run away from danger,
far away, far, far away.
Look, I'm tired of waiting for doom to arrive.
And I want answers.
I'm not asking y'all to go with me.
I'm asking you both to help me find her.
I mean, don't you want to know if she's close?
Yeah, but look, I've already tried to locate a spell
with Tabitha and Caden, and she's cloaked.
If it didn't work with them, why would you think
it will actually work with us?
Hmmmm.
Actually, there might be a way.
Angela!
It's her mom. And she's right.
It's better to know where one of our enemies is.
Even Tabitha and Caden tried to find out.
[ Sighs ] Fine. But only to find her.
I don't need you running around on your own, you know?
Please.
I'll try not to.
Come to the penthouse tonight,
and I will have everything ready.
[ Chuckles ]
[ Laughs ]
[ Sighs ] Gosh, I hope I don't regret this.
Come on.
[ Sighs ]
Wow.
You're really leaving, huh?
Soon as I graduate. Figured I'd get a head start.
Where you headed?
Columbus.
Stay with my brother for a bit.
Yeah.
That's good.
You should, um...
You should leave sooner, if you can.
Tabitha and Caden say something really bad is headed our way.
Worse than Mommy Dearest.
I know you want out of this magick stuff,
and you'll be safer if you're not here.
You're going to need these.
Thanks, Camille.
Thanks for not trying to convince me to stay.
I know you need to go.
I'm sorry for bringing all this into your life.
-If I had known -- -[ Laughs ] No.
Hey, look after them for me.
[ Sighs ]
Damn.
[ Siren wailing ]
Hey.
-What's going on in here? -A spell. You want to help us?
She doesn't. Trust me.
Yo, you got a lot of fuckin nerve
coming in here after last night.
I invited her. Okay?
You're not the only one who lives here, Sherise.
Okay. Did I miss something here?
Yeah. She fucked my man.
Your man?
You said you didn't want to date him.
I don't. That doesn't mean he's fair game.
I told you I didn't know who Taj was.
You know what? Forget it.
If you want to hate me, Sherise, you can go ahead.
No offense. I have bigger shit to worry about
than you and your fucked up love life.
-Hey, yo, what does that -- -Ah, ah, ah, girl.
Just stop.
Look, Sherise, if you don't want to help, go.
All right? I left your charm bag outside your door.
What spell are y'all doing?
We're trying to find Claudette.
Are you fucking stupid or something?
You're magick will draw her right to you.
That is not how this works!
How do you know, girl?
Claudette was in the Council.
We don't know what she's capable of.
Okay, Tabitha and Caden already tried a locator spell.
If that was the case, then she would have kind of said it.
Fine. If you want to die, fine.
Just keep that bitch out of my house.
We ready?
-Yes. -Yeah.
Wait, we have to go over here.
All right.
So you're going to have to lay down.
Camille, you will draw upon Jordan's sense magick.
Now I'm going to channel my powers
through the quartz crystals to bring clarity.
Hopefully, with your blood connection to Claudette,
you'll be able to pick up something.
Now, a few drops
to open up the flow of magick so you can draw from our power.
Okay.
[ Sighs ]
[ Line ringing]
[ Cellphone buzzes ]
[ Sighs ]
Nigga, what the fuck you want?
Hello? Sherise?
Yo, I been trying to reach you all day.
Like I can't stop thinking about you.
I need you to know how sorry I am.
And that I'm willing to do anything, anything,
just to show you how much you mean to me.
Mm. Anything?
How about you come tomorrow morning and make me breakfast?
Yes, breakfast, lunch, dinner. it don't matter.
I'm pulling up.
Damn. I can't wait to see you.
Sherise, baby.
Yeah. Don't call me till then.
I-- Hello? Sherise?
Damn.
Okay.
Through earth and blood, spirit take flight.
Show us that which is hidden from sight.
Reveal to us the enemy at hand.
Unveil cloaks, deceptions, and secret plans.
Through earth and blood, spirit take flight.
Show us that which is hidden from sight.

Through earth and blood, spirit, take flight.

Reveal to us the enemy at hand.
Unveil close deceptions and secret plans.
Spirit, take flight.
Show us that which is hidden from sight.
-I can see something. -Show us the enemy at hand.
Unveil cloaks, deceptions, and secret plans.
I can't see a house number.
[ Indistinct whispering ]
Cami?
I know that's you.
I can feel it.
You don't have to be afraid, honey.
Come to me.
Come to --
[ Gasps ] Oh, God.
Oh, God, she could feel me. She knew it was me.
Okay, it's okay, it's okay. You're here.
JORDAN: Did you see anything about where she was?
Yeah, but I -- I couldn't see the house number,
but I saw magickal symbols all over her house.
Wait, that sounds like warding to cloak her.
That's why Tabitha and Caden couldn't find her.
Did you see anything else?
Street sign.
Part of a number, but...
Guys, I saw Sherise's face.
Just her face, but I don't think we can trust her.
[ Insects chirping ]
They're looking for you. They did some type of spell.
Yes, I know all about the little locator spell.
Tell me something new.
They didn't only see you.
They saw the wards on the house, and they saw me.
Claudette, they fittin' to find out that I'm with you.
Look, Sherise!
You are going places in this world.
Okay, sometimes you have to cut your losses.
What else?
SHERISE: We all got this for protection.
Nothing we can't handle.
Mm.
Good.
Do you know what they plan on doing if they locate me?
I don't know. Probably tell Tabitha.
Ah, then it's time we pay Tabitha a visit.
And you're coming with.
The hell I am. I got to go to the club tonight, baby.
[ Gasping ]
[ Gasps ]
I wasn't asking.
Now move.
[ Loud crashing ]
[ Chuckles ]
Tabitha.
Aren't you a sight for sore eyes?
Oh, I should have known you would try to turn one of my own.
Got damn it, Sherise.
What did she promise you, huh?
Power? That your friends would be safe.
See, because I know how she works.
Because I taught her. Just like I taught you.
All that anger, and you let it drive you to this.
Girl, you are in this too deep now.
Tabitha, I --
[ Gasps ]
I see you let yourself go.
No longer tapped into the Council's longevity.
But I guess you -- you look all right
for 127 years old.
Not as good as I do.
Bitch, why don't you just cut to the chase?
Are we in such a rush to die?
TABITHA: Oh, I have no plan on doing so.
No one ever does.
I trusted you.
You and Caden took everything from me.
My magick. My child.
I protected her. Caden protected her.
We defied the Council for you to keep your daughter safe
all these years.
[ Laughs ] Except from The Handler.
Well, whose fault is that? You led him here.
Now, I suppose you cut some kind of deal.
You think I don't see this --
this leash around this girl's neck?
All as a result of the magick you took from me!
It was either that or you die!
The Council wanted you dead.
Claudette, I did everything I could to keep you both alive.
Oh, I see what you're doing.
You exchanging magick.
Well, my power is too strong for you to take me on.
[ Scoffs ]
You'd be surprised.
[ Breathing heavily ]
[ Screams ]
I don't you we were coming for you.
Tabitha!
You killed her!
You told me you wouldn't hurt my friends.
Tabitha wasn't part of the deal, dear.
Believe me, the bitch had it coming.
Now...
Are you going to be a problem?
Because you wouldn't want your friends
to find out you were here?
Would you?
