Episode 14:
Clark 18 months ago at a Triad Detention Facility. He's holding the artifact. You're the one that can help me. Why the hell would you help me? For starters, I don't think anyone should be thrown in a dark hole and forgotten about. So I'll get you out if you do.
Romeo and Juliet practice? Hope is Wade's scene partner. She's still grumpy. And leaking magic. And....scene. LOL.
Dorian and Ethan. If I see MG, I'll let you know. MG's missing for 2 days. Ric brought locator spell results. Dorian keeps up with animal attacks in the area. A hiker was found dead last night.
Hope punching a hit bag. Tells Josie she doesn't need help. Hope sends the bag flying. Josie needs help. Lizzie went on this witchy wellness retreat and I haven't heard from her in over a week. I think she may be in trouble.
Finch and the wolves playing basketball. Jed tells them to hit the showers. All the towels left for Finch. Newest member of the pack cleans up. Never question the alpha's rules ever. How do you become the alpha? You have to beat the man. She says no, you have to beat the woman. Sigh.
Hope and Josie drove to the camp. Lizzie appears. Namaste. So glad you guys are here. You made really good time. She hugs them both. Come, I'll show you around. Piece of mind awaits. "Like I said - trap," Hope says.
The camp. Witches playing and giggling. Josie thinks it looks great. Hope isn't impressed. Lizzie says Josie told her about Landon. Him dumping you like that? Dick move. Lizzie's crystal flashes and she goes mellow again. Andie reframed my mindset to fit my emotional goals. Hope says this feels a little cult-y. Make that a lot cult-y. The crystal colors represent a step to enlightenment. Lizzie gets to do a secret ritual next week. It's important to stay focused on your own path. Afternoon enrichments. All colors are welcome. Girls rush over. Hope tells Josie I didn't want help. But they're staying because something wrong is going on here.
Finch trying to get Jed to a challenge. She saw a pool table in storage. He agrees. Good luck. You're going to need it.
Andie dedicated herself to helping other witches reach the light. Think of these crystals like a mood ring. You lay your hands on it to see where you begin your journey. Control your emotions and control your lives. The blue color Lizzie shows us represents purity of thought. Absence of negative feelings. This is the ideal. This is enlightenment. Can I have a less accomplished volunteer? It's Hope, right? I didn't raise my hand. I don't trust you because you're a fraud. Then please, come up and prove it. Hope touches the crystal and it's bright red. Andie touches Hope and she goes from green to blue. Suddenly I feel better. Andie has empathic transfer. She wears gloves to control it. She puts a crystal on Hope. Lizzie's blinks red and blue. Andie's been waiting for someone like Hope. You and I will do great things together. Lizzie is jealous.
She goes to Andie to talk privately. And it's wearing her crystal. I had a bit of setback. Her crystal is red. I got a bit jealous. Hearing how great Hope is is triggering for me. I know it's silly. If you could just juice me back up. Andie's moved the ceremony up. Hope is very, very special. We don't need to recruit anymore witches, so the ritual will happen this evening. You know the path those in the red must take. I wish you well on it.
Son of a bitch.
Search party member missing again. In Grove Hill. Dorian thinks MG is killing. Ric insists MG is a good kid. We don't know anything. MG suddenly hurries to Ric. I need your help, there's a body! Dorian drugs MG from behind. MG's clothes are a wreck.
Lizzie hand washing clothes. Another girl says you're doing it wrong. Lizzie calls a truce with Samantha. Andie's glove is in the washing delivered. Samantha's crystal goes blue from touching the glove!
Ric is taking MG home, not tying him up. Dorian found the body. Thought you knew how dangerous rippers can be. Ric isn't going to condemn MG without hearing his side of it. Dorian's going to bury the body. Hope there won't be another when I get back.
Finch is bring her own pool cue. Jed is undefeated at the school. Finch puts on a glove. Wade taking bets. Balls racked. She shoots first. Whoa.
Lizzie snooping outside Andie's cabin. Sees her drops gloves in the trash with tongs. And put a crystal in a drawer. You're finally going to be free and you deserve it. Andie leaves the room. Lizzie lifts the window and crawls in. It's actually cute in here. Andie's in the shower. Lizzie snoops in the drawer and find a psychotropic drug vial. Andie comes out but Lizzie got away before she saw her.
Dorian finishes the burial. Colin Lafferty. Sorry your family won't get the closure they deserve. But maybe missing is better than the truth. I'll check in on your family and the vampire that killed you, so this never happens again. But something is stalking Dorian in the woods. A wendigo! It charges at him.
Lizzie finds Josie and Hope. It's definitely a cult. Let's get out of here. Andie is a fraud. Her crystal is blue colored glass. You're drugged from Triad. Do you trust me? Of course we do. Gong rings. Samantha striking the crystal. Hope, Jo, you okay? We've never been better. Lizzie is about to run, but Hope makes her sleep. Stay with us.
**The simultaneous talking and head tilts is definitely creepy and cult-y.
**So, was Lizzie brought back to her senses because her drug hit had worn off?
Lizzie wakes and insults Andie. At least you can't mind control me. Andie wonders why that is. One touch of the gloves is enough to make most witches worship me. Lizzie says gloves are off now, bitch. Andie says she was drugged by Triad to do spells. No supernatural ever worked for them willingly. Josie knocks. Bring your sister down for the grand finale. After all, the ritual requires a human sacrifice.
Jed only got one shot and he missed. Finch is clearing the table. 8 ball corner pocket. Sink it and I'm leader of the pack, right? Those are the rules. She is about to aim, then looks at Jed's face.
Lizzie will try to get Josie to reach her negative emotions to break the mind control. Your independence lasted as long as your dark Josie bender. Now you're here neglecting your happiness with Finch. And she snaps Josie out of it. Hope's at the ritual. Lizzie gets one of Andie's crystals. Tie me up again.
Ric finds Dorian bleeding. Wendigo. Come on, it's never a wendigo. Until today. Dorian found a cave stocked with a cooler of blood bags. MG's hideout. Dorian read MG's journal. He's been helping people. Needs to work on his superhero name. Ric gets Dorian up. Wendigo arrives.
Lizzie and Josie approach the ritual. Hope holds a chalice and wears a blue cape. Lizzie is about to say something when Samantha hits her from behind with the mallet. Hope asks Jo if there's something she wants to say. Uh-oh!
Andie asks Jo if she's going to say anything. Josie tries to insult Hope. Andie tells Hope to throw them in the hole to get this started. Jo tells Hope that I don't want this for you. You're mad at Landon and blaming him for the breakup, but deep down you know it's not all his fault. You know you and Landon can never be truly happy together. Landon did the one thing you weren't strong enough to do. Hope grabs Josie arm, and her crystal is red. Tells Andie this is the part where you attack me and deeply regret it later.
Ric and Dorian have to figure out how to kill the wendigo. MG found that wendigos have hearts of ice. I had wendigo in the monster pool.
All the witches are down. Andie is frozen. Jo releases her. Lizzie asks her to tell what this is for. Andie needed witches that wouldn't ask a lot of questions. It was a summoning ritual. I'd raise the Devil himself for my freedom. And she can't remember what it was. But she'll die if she fails to complete the ritual. Hope says you're going to fail. Andie throws the blue liquid at them and dives into the pit. Lizzie is impressed. Total boss move. Any clue what's next? So much for piece of mind.
Night. Girls gathered around a bonfire. Hope suggests ghost stories. Josie knows a scary one. The tale of the crappy friend who told you you deserved to be dumped. Sorry. Hope says it's okay. You deserve to be happy. Lizzie is wearing a panda suit! The girls giggle.
Jed given moonshine. Wolves partying. Jed goes to Finch. Need a drink? Not my thing. Guess I have rules, too. He says maybe it's not fair to the pack that the best fighter deserves to lead them. And he knows she scratched at pool. She saw how much he cares, how much it means to him. He would've called her weak once. She says if you can change, maybe the rules can, too.
MG waiting. Ric sits and tells him Dorian will be fine. A few stitches and one whopper of a lie to his doctor. Emma will be so pissed at me - but not as pissed as she'd be if you hadn't saved our asses. We should've have worried about you. Your journal made that clear. MG says it's hard doing this on his own. Ric says you can come back to school. The wendigo trashed your bat cave. MG tells Ric he didn't compel Ethan when he was told to. But I learned from it. I want to come back, but I don't want to stop helping people, either. Ric says let's do both. Let's go home.
Lizzie says Andie drugged us. Now they're all pandas. All seeing the same thing. Unless that's bad! We have to be ready to fight. We're tripping balls, man! Hope says when has it stopped us from fighting monsters. Lizzie says that's right. I'm a badass. Hope says we set a trap around the hole. But they keep getting the giggles. Panda squad on three. 1, 2, explosion! Lizzie thought it was fun. No panda suits now. But Darth Vader is coming at them? Hope passes out.
Next ep - May the force be with the final 2 episodes of the season.
