A lone witch in Manchester? Domino.

Witches tend to make appointments.

I think she's hiding something.

Do you want to down these

You think she did something to him?

The lights in his flat

were going crazy.

this one on?

How do you know my name?!

We've been watching you.

My coven.

We want to understand you.

SHE LAUGHS

Better get in line behind me!

What did you learn?

That you're doing something

to humans Oh, God!

..butbut you don't want to be.

Your whole aura is full of conflict.

I know it must be hard,

but you can talk to me.

So, what happened back there, then,

with that guy?

I couldn't see anyone else inside.

He, erm

He had a

..a videoof me.

So, I went to confront him,

but he wasn't there.

Did you break in?

Find the video?

I erased it.

TEARFULLY: But then, I just lost it.

I didn't mean to.

What are you doing?

It's OK.

I'm really good with aura magic.

I can see and feel emotions.

Sometimes, if I concentrate,

I can help affect them.

And I calm someone down,

for example.

II could feel you struggling.

Well, you should ask before you

touch me!

It's OK. And spying on me?!

It's OK. You can trust me.

Yeah, you keep saying that,

but why should I?

Because you're scared

and confused

Because whatever it is that

you're doing,

I can tell you don't want

to be. Domino?

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

What are you thinking, Kat?

I've never seen anything like it!

Sammie, what else did she say?

You know as much as me.

She just said she lost it.

Jules, at the club,

tell us again what you saw?

She were wired.

Bouncers were chasing her.

She used magic to push them back,

luckily no-one saw.

Intervened before she could

cause a bigger scene.

f*ckin' 'ell.

This is bad.

What are we going to tell Esme?

I'll tell her that

we're looking into her.

Thought you said

we need to get the facts first?

She's throwing bouncers about.

Trashing flats.

How many more facts do you need?

Wait, um

You know where I live?

Yeah, the cab stopped at yours

first last night.

So, I had to make sure that

you got in Oh, ah, pff

Man Oh, man.

I don't remember any of that.

I remember us kissing, and then I

..was I really that wasted?

Oh, just a little. Yeah?

Oh, I thought I'd swing by, before

work and bring you over this

OK, so this is

the BEST hangover cure combo.

This got me through uni.

It's clearly working for you.

You're all glowing and sh*t.

Thanks.

Here, come, take a seat.

Yeah? Yeah. OK.

Oh, sorry.

HE SNIFFS

THEY LAUGH

You want some of this?

Um, nah,

I'm not the one with the hangover.

Mm! Mm-mm!

OK. OK. I did not say it would taste

nice.

No, no, no!

I feel better already.

Yeah? Yeah, no, I feel

I feel good. Uh-huh, uh-huh.

THEY CHUCKLE

Um

So, um

You up for hanging out again?

Um, I have to help run

the speed-dating thing

at BYOM tomorrow. OK.

But I can tonight?

Yeah? Mm-hm.

Oh, I feel better already!

f*cking G!

Shut up! I don't know what's

going on, I mean?

I have to go right now. No, no,

no What? I have to go work!

So, that is a Scold's Bridle.

Ironically, very effective at making

the witches talk during the hunts.

And still comes in handy

for the occasional rogue witch.

So, how are you?

You were mentioning last month

that you were having some teething

problems with Ju-Lei,

she found her place yet?

Yeah better, thank you.

Yeah, Jules is She's young,

but she's eager to learn.

She's great with potions.

Good. I knew you'd sort her out.

Well, it's ait's a work in

progress. So were you once.

So, what have you got for me,

this week?

Well, there's, er,

a new witch in Manchester.

We carried out a probing spell, but

we can't make out her specialism.

Do you suspect her of performing

outlawed magic?

We don't know enough about her yet.

Well, you need to find out,

and be quick about it.

If she's breaking any rules,

then she needs to be punished

accordingly.

I'll find a way of getting

to the bottom of it.

Trust me, my coven can handle this.

You took a chance

on me for a reason.

This is the last croissant,

you managed to get it.

The very last croissant.

You need anything else? OK, great.

Think Domino did this.

What is it?

Why did I even summon you if you

ain't going to give me anything?!

She tink she cyaan use us.

I'm risking everything even

talking to you, right now!

"Should I call my Elder mum?"

The Elders are there for a reason.

But dem fear difference.

How ya tink dey be widda

witch like Domino?

Well, then, tell me what to do!

Bring her here.

We need t'get a good look

at dis witch.

DOOR RATTLES

Kat?

QUIETLY: sh*t!

Oh, you are here!

Why'd you lock up?

Oh, it's just a force of habit.

Well, look who it is.

I didn't know you worked here.

I own the place.

Almost didn't recognise you

with your clothes on.

I, um, was going to text ya, see

if you wanted to hang out again,

but I You didn't. Yeah.

Want your green tea?

Um ,no, actually.

I'm here to see Domino.

Oh.

Small world. I'll take them.

Thank you.

They really want to meet you.

Maybe we can help you understand

what you're going through.

So, what you're saying is,

is that you haven't told

the Elders about me?

If we were to report you

with what we know,

the Elders would come for you.

But we know it's more

complex than that, yeah?

We know that it's hard

for a witch to be alone.

That's why Kat, my coven leader.

She's so good

at making safe spaces for witches.

Especially those

struggling to fit in.

I'm good, thanks.

I've got a connect.

Who?

Cal, at the antique shop?

Hmm, yeah.

Cal's shop is the go-to

for books and spells.

Be careful, though.

He's in the pockets of the Elders.

Look, we really do want to help you!

I know I needed it.

Trust me,

the lone witch life

..gets pretty messy, pretty fast.

You should really meet her.

See for yourself.

OK.

What's that?

Er, protection charm. Just in case.

SAMMIE: This is it.

Legit plant shop/hub

for the finest

home-grown potion ingredients

in Manchester. What's she?

Esme didn't recognise the mark.

Said we should just meet her

properly. Ask her some questions.

Everyone, this is Domino.

Hi.

All right, Domino,

this is Jules, Geri and Kat.

Hi. Thanks for coming.

Oh, yeah. That was me at the club.

Were you following me? Nah.

Usual school night for Jules.

Sorry for all the snooping.

It's just, er, rare for an unknown

witch to cross our path.

So, where are your coven based?

Um, I don't have one.

It was It was just me

and my boyfri My ex.

Your ex is a witch? Yeah.

Well, still,

you must know the rules -

no magic in public

and definitely no magic on humans.

Yeah. Believe me, I

I don't want to. I am

I really am trying to find

another way.

Then why do you?

You can tell us, Domino.

Like, what you're doing.

Help us understand.

Um

OK, so, one day,

my nose, it started bleeding

and then I started to

feel, like, really weak and.

"Weak"? What do you mean? What

happened to that guy in his flat?

I am an Obeah woman, guided by my

Ancestors.

I call on you, I invite

you to this realm.

I already told Sammie everything

TICKING

Domino.

I want answers.

Were going to need some privacy

for this sort of magic.

f*ck, Kat!

Why are you trying to

sabotage everything?

This is not what we're about.

Can someone please explain

what the f*ck is going on?

You won't have got this

in your welcome pack,

but our coven leader here used

to be an Obeah witch. What's Obeah?

A magic outlawed by

the Elders centuries ago.

My Ancestors contacted ME!

That's not the point!

I've spent countless nights,

staying up with you,

as you tried to block 'em out,

so we could make you

coven leader, for Christ's sake!

And now you're risking it all

with your Obeah?

My Ancestors were just trying to

help. I f*cking knew it.

What's your plan, Kat?

We didn't sign up for this.

But shouldn't we find out what

they know about her?

I just need to speak to them

one more time.

Geri, please.

I just hope you know what

you're doing. Come on.

f*ck!

You could've told me what you

were planning!

But tell me

..what did you find out about her?

HE EXHALES

Follow me.

What, you want me to say the words?

All right.

I am an Obeah woman!

Guided by my Ancestors.

I call on you

I invite you to this realm.

What is this place?

You wanted to open Silas's grimoire,

right?

Strong magic in here.

We'll need it.

I know you think

I'm a fass yoot, but

Not until you tell me what you know.

Listing all these symptoms, he was.

Couldn't quite believe

it at the time.

He wanted to know who you were.

Dem have a hunger dat cyaant

Dem always need to feed off others.

But there was only one explanation

for what he was describing.

Couldn't be true.
