-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.

Give me my baby.

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?!

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 ex*cuted.

What?

I was a newborn.

What the f*ck 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 ]

f*ck.

f*ck.

[ 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 k*lling 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 f*ck' 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.

f*ck! f*ck' b*tch.

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.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ 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 f*ck 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 sl*ve collar

and sell you
to the highest bidder.

Are you for real?

I mean, if he's that dangerous,
why hasn't the Council

k*lled 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.

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 f*ck 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 f*cked 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
sh*t to worry about

than you and your
f*cked 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 f*cking 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 b*tch
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 ]

n*gga, what the f*ck 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.

Reveal to us
the enemy at hand, plans --

[ Gasps ]

Through earth and blood,
spirit, take flight.

Show us that
which is hidden from sight.

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.

b*tch, 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 k*lled her!

You told me you wouldn't
hurt my friends.

Tabitha wasn't part of
the deal, dear.

Believe me, the b*tch
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?
