Claudette:
There's no stopping Julius.

There's only k*lling Julius.

Julius is very old
and very powerful.

We have to k*ll Julius.What if this plan
doesn't work?

That's why I have
plan B.

That will never happen.

We can't risk
Julius getting her.

Aah!

Jordan: So, the planetary
alignment is in 3 1/2 days.

Julius wants The Handler
in two days, for some reason.

And Angela is the vessel,
of course.

And somehow this Goddess Stone
is connected,

given its name.

Hm.

Claudette said that Julius was
trying to take this from her.

So we have to assume
that he needs this as well.

Yeah.

Um...Caden?

This isn't
the knife of Okon.

What? It has to be.

Tabitha handed
that to me herself.

I held this last night, and I
could feel traces of his power.

And it's gone now.

♪♪

The blade won't extend.

You're right.
This isn't the true knife.

Then what happened
to the real one?

♪♪

What do you mean
that's not the real knife?

Then where the f*ck is it?

We don't know.

Caden, do you think
Claudette could've taken it?

I don't think so.

Tabitha personally handed it
to me before she left,

and I spent the rest
of the night

guarding you and Angela
before I came back here.

It had to be switched
before that.

If Claudette didn't take it,

there's only one other person
that could have.

You know who I'm talking about.

How long have you
known Javi?

What? No!

No, no, no.
Javi loves me.

He would never do that.

Jordan, I'm telling you,

there's something off
with that guy.

How would you know?

You only spent two seconds
with him, Darletra.

[Sighs] Jordan, I would have
said something sooner,

but I know that you wasn't
gonna listen to me,

so I didn't even bother.

But I clocked him
from the very start.

And even my Council connect
Quinn said he recognized him.

What?
Mm-hmm. So did I.

He looks familiar.

I'm telling you,
I've been raised around secrets

and lies my whole life.
I can spot a liar a mile away.

He's too...smooth.

He's a klutz!

No, man.
We cannot trust him.

Look, I'll prove to you guys
that it's not him.

Whatever.
I got to get back to Angela.

She's not doing well
after last night.

Okay, well,
we'll keep you updated.

[Call disconnects]

Have you ever sensed anything
from Javi?

Yes.
I can sense his magick.

Any visions or dreams?

No.

Don't you think
it's a little odd,

as close as you are?

Apologies, sir.

I was with Jordan, helping her

Not yet.

Her visions are getting
more clear, but all she's seeing

is a stone and a body.

That doesn't sound
very close to me.

Well, she's sensing a location,
but it keeps moving.

It's like whatever body it's in
is -- is traveling.

Sao Paulo, Paris.
Last spot was London.

London?
Yes.

We only have a few more days
before the alignment.

Should we go to London
and find it?

It's not in London.

It's not?No.

Keep pressing Jordan.

Either she locates the stone
or they bring The Handler to me

in two days, and I will
get it out of him myself.

Julius, what if
they can't?

Like, they're inexperienced
and unfocused.

What if she can't find
the stone?

What if they can't even
capture The Handler?

I will not let the planetary
alignment pass again

without success.

If she cannot find the stone

One big happy family.

Good to see you.

Caden: Enough.

You wanted to talk about
how to stop Julius.

Let's just do that.

There's no stopping Julius.
There's only k*lling Julius.

And I have the plan
to do just that.

How are we supposed
to trust you?

You have our friend
in chain.

And k*lled Darletra's
whole family.

Mm.
But not her brother.

That would come
compliments of the one

you arrived with
here today.

Clearly,
allegiances can change.

Clearly.

We all came here
to work together.

We have to k*ll Julius.That's a tall order.

Julius is very old
and very powerful.

And with his creation magick,

it makes him damn near
impossible to k*ll.

His immense power
aside,

Julius has something else
that makes him dangerous.

And what's that?

Conviction?

He believes completely
in his mission and won't stop

until he raises Oya.

And do I need to stress
the dangers

of raising an uncontrollable
warrior goddess

that can destroy the world
with a storm?

Or are we on
the same page?

You said
you have a plan?

I have a device
that can harness

the power
of 100 witches.

It'll be enough
to k*ll Julius.

So, what do you
even need us for?

[Chuckles]
A distraction.

Claudette's death magick
is our best defense.

I'll oblige.

And Caden can heal anyone
who may get hurt.

The rest of us pool our power
and hold him long enough

until The Handler
takes him out.

So...

I guess
that makes me bait?

Bingo.

And why can't we just destroy
the Goddess Stone?

If we could, we would have.
It's indestructible.

Okay, um...
Not to be negative Nancy here,

but what if this plan
doesn't work?

That's why I have
plan B.

And what the f*ck
is that supposed to be?

I take Angela.

You said you wouldn't
need to do that

to work together.
