Hello.
sh*t.
Whoa.
Holy shi--
Jesus.
- Jordan, you want a cup?
- Oh, no, thanks.
I'll take it.
I'm between a cup of
"leave me the f*ck alone"
and good morning.
- All right.
Let me get this.
- Okay.
Hey, Caden.
- Hey, Jordan.
- Thank you.
- Caden, what's--
what's going on?
- Well, a new Council
is being established.
- A new Council?
Is that something
you're setting up?
- Not exactly.
The old Council had a protocol.
In the event of their demise,
a new group of witches
would take over.
And I have been
asked to join them.
- Okay.
So is this a good thing?
- Any Council that comes
from the old Council
isn't a good thing.
- Yeah, I agree with Darletra.
No shades.
- Well, Claudette
and Caden have been
talking about restoring order.
I mean, wouldn't this be it?
- But those two aren't
the ones restoring order.
This is the same
thing we had before.
A power-hungry panel dishing
out orders and punishment.
- Well, we need
something in place.
I mean, maybe
with Caden, things
would be different, right?
- I don't know, y'all.
Darletra has a point.
The Council's power has
gone unchecked for so long.
Look at Julius old a*s.
And Leya?
She was on the Council, and
she was down with The Handler.
Who gonna check them, boo?
- Okay, so how exactly
will this work, Caden?
I mean, is there some
type of plan to keep
this from happening again?
- There are some good
people joining me,
and together, I think we
can make some good changes.
- And what about the others?
They can't all be good.
- No.
I have my concern.
In particular, one of the new
elder's name is Anthony Dufort.
He looks good on paper.
An oil tycoon, philanthropist
with a heart of gold,
and truth is--
- He's witch mafia.
- Wait, what?
What's a witch mafia?
- He takes what he wants.
Usually land.
If you have it, he wants it,
yeah, he'll get it.
- He'll literally
burn your house down--
with your whole family
in it if he has to.
- Oh, God.
- Wait.
You said Anthony?
Um--
isn't that who you've been
talking to down at the club?
I mean, yeah.
And--I mean, it's
not that serious.
I'm just trying to get my--
- Sherise!
- Come on, Sherise.
He's dangerous.
I should know.
- This doesn't have anything
to do with The Handler, right?
- No.
He wouldn't f*ck
with The Handler.
You know why?
Because he looked at
him as competition.
That's how dangerous
he is, Sherise.
So if that's how he
looked at The Handler,
what do you think he really
wants with the new boss
of Obsidian Dreams?
- Look, Sherise,
you really need
to be careful with this guy.
- Okay, not too much on
Sherise.
I can take care of myself.
- Enough.
I know how the Council was.
I was a guardian.
I saw the danger up close.
But I know how to
make people feel safe.
And in truth, I
will do my best--
my best--to steer this new
Council in the right direction.
Just look out for each other.
I'll contact you
once I know more.
Okay?
- Guys, I got orders
to take care of.
I'm--I'm gonna help her.
So are you
gonna tell me about
last night with Darletra?
- Shh.
Come on.
Let me tell you.
So what happened--I'll
tell you what happened.
- Wow.
Looks like we got another
order from Michelle Michaels
from Savannah, Georgia.
- Isn't that like her
third one this month?
Let me guess.
She wants another one of
Angela's breakup healing kits.
And she needs more sage too.
- Maybe this will help her with
all the bad relationship juju
she obviously has.
Right.
And she's one of
my best customers.
- Um...
Jordan?
- Yeah, what's up?
- Can I ask you a question?
- Sure.
- I noticed you haven't been
using your magic lately.
When's the last time
you sent something?
- Um...
It's, um, been a while.
But it's been kind of weird
doing magic after Javi.
I loved him, and he used me.
He manipulated my power.
He warned me, but my
dumb a*s didn't even listen.
- Look, I get it.
I know what it's
like to feel used.
When I was enslaved
by The Handler,
there was this boy,
a seer that The Handler
wanted really badly.
Never got to
figure out why, but
The Handler was always
looking over his shoulder,
so it made sense.
The Handler tried
to make the deal,
but of course, the father
wasn't gonna sell,
and so The Handler
took me to their town,
and me, like, pulled
right up to their house.
- Wait, he made
you kidnap the boy?
- No.
The Handler was gonna get
that boy with or without me.
My orders were to protect
The Handler at all costs.
And because of the collar,
I was bent to his will.
And so, when the father of the
boy tried to attack The Handler
and save his son--
I k*lled him.
That was the first time
I had k*lled anyone.
And I was nine years old.
- Oh, that's horrible.
How did you, um--
how did you keep
going after that?
I mean, it was hard.
It's still hard.
People like my brother,
people like Quinn,
they help to keep me sane.
Remind me that I'm
not the bad guy.
Jordan, when that leash
came off and I had to--
I had to face everything
that I had done...
It was Angela who reminded
me that all of this
wasn't my fault, and
that I was a victim too.
- I, um--
I feel like I lost a part of
myself when I was with Javi.
I just--I just
can't trust myself.
I get that.
- I totally understand.
That's one of the
hardest things to do.
I didn't know who I was
when that leash came off.
And for a while, I just
wanted to disappear.
But I had to reclaim
my magic, Jordan.
It's a part of my power.
Just like your magic is
a part of your power.
And you cannot let Javi
take that from you.
Do you hear me?
You don't let Javi
take that from you.
You fight back.
You buckle down.
- Thanks, Darletra.
Look, I appreciate
you for being here
with me through all of this.
And you know that my
situation doesn't compare
to what you've been through.
- You ain't got to
compare our situations
to validate how you feel.
I'm here for you.
You're my sister, my friend.
- I'll be right back.
- Thanks.
Great.
Now I'm sensing my own fear.
- Was it good?
Or was it bad because she
ain't know what she was doing?
Ooh, was she a
warrior in the streets
and a freak in the shade?
Stop.
Okay, it was good.
Reese, you know I really,
really care about her,
But she's just
always so guarded.
And, I mean, I
get it, but it was nice
to be able to connect with her
on a deeper level,
you know?
- I love this for you, Ange.
- I haven't seen you like
this in such a long time.
You're glowing.
- Aw.
Thank you.
And you?
You got this new
thing with Darius,
and, apparently, Anthony.
So what's up with
the love triangle?
- Okay, look.
Now, I don't know
about a love triangle,
but, you know, Anthony
is just for fun.
But Darius, he could
probably be something.
- Oh, really?
That's new for you.
- I know.
I haven't felt this way
about somebody since Taj.
And we're taking it slow.
I mean, we've only been off The
Handler's leash a month ago.
So he's staying
with a few friends.
He's trying to get his things
together, but so far, so good.
- And the sex is sensational.
- Yes.
So how does he feel
about you running Odina?
- I mean, he's not
too thrilled about it,
but he knows I'm trying
to help the people, so--
Reese, please be careful, okay?
You deserve to be happy.
And I don't wanna see
Anthony messing that up.
- Anthony can't mess that up.
I miss this.
We haven't done
this in a long time.
- I know.
I know exactly what you mean.
And I miss this too.
- Oh, friend!
- I love you.
- I love you too.
- Just in--several bodies
have been found with unusual
black veins on their skin.
The cause of death is
yet to be determined.
If you or your loved ones are
seeing any skin discoloration
or feeling ill, please
visit your local hospital--
- Aah!
This is so boring.
- To continue to
keep you up to date.
Um, why--
why are you keeping me here?
- I keep you around to help
me navigate this world.
I won't get far in this body
without a mommy to help me.
And--
Where are we going?
- I'm looking for something.
Something south of here.
I can feel it.
Just like I can feel the fear.
- Wha--what?
What?
What's hap--
What's happening?
Fear fevers.
- Wha--
- I could use more
people like you.
People with power.
- What do you mean?
I don't have any power.
I don't know
anything about magic!
But you have it.
And your fear is so delicious.
Let's keep going, Mommy.
- That's a little
early, don't you think?
- It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
- What's with this sudden
taste for red wine?
You used to hate it.
- So, what's going on?
- There was a problem during
the other ascension last night.
- What, pray tell,
is the problem?
- Part of the
ritual of ascension
requires the Elders to connect
to an ancient power source.
- What kind of power source?
- We're not sure.
But the key element to
doing so, an ancient relic,
is missing.
- Now, I was on the Council,
and I don't remember connecting
to some power source.
- Only the Elders
were aware of it.
We connect to it first, and
then the rest of the Council
taps in through us
when they ascend.
It was a way of keeping
it protected and secret.
And Anthony is
determined to find it.
Anthony.
Is he trying to be like Julius
and take over the Council?
- No.
He wants to be on the
Council because he
wants all the power and
position that comes with it.
And he believes that this
power source will secure that.
We need to
find it before they do.
- I'll keep an eye on Anthony.
You try and find whatever
this thing is before he does.
- Hey, let me know
if I can help.
Orisha Oya,
I ask for your protection
for myself and my
friends for whatever
comes with this new Council.
- Do not go.
We have work to do.
- We just ignore her prayer?
- Ignore?
I am a goddess.
I do not have to appear
to every petitioner
to answer their prayers.
We are raising
warriors, not children.
- She's not any petitioner.
This is Angela.
I'm going.
Hello, Angela.
You're heading out?
- Uh, yeah.
Just going for a quick walk.
Mind if I join you?
- Sure.
- So how have you
been since Julius?
- I'm Okay.
Good.
Just trying to get back
to some sense of normalcy.
I see you've been struggling.
Sometimes I suspect
you remember it all.
- Um, no, I don't--
- Angela, you
don't have to hide.
You did nothing wrong.
That's why you don't like
Sherise practicing on you,
isn't it?
I remember everything.
I took my dream
state elixir to try
to help me heal
from the trauma,
but, I mean, it's not like
I can forget any of that.
I can still feel
that knife in my chest.
- Angela, I'm sorry.
I am--I am so sorry.
I--I never meant
for you to get hurt.
Ever.
It's gonna take
some time to heal,
but you can't do it alone.
You can't.
- Talk to your friends.
Talk to them.
Don't hide this from them.
- Damn.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
We got the place to
ourselves tonight.
Let's try something different.
- Like what?
- Come on.
Is the bard gonna serenade me?
- ♪ If you
- If you're lucky.
- ♪ Wanna touch yourself
♪ Me and nobody else
♪ I love when you
♪ Wanna touch yourself
♪ Do it until you fall asleep
♪ Call me if you need help
Allow it to happen.
- Damn, n*gga.
You sleep here?
- Came in early.
And what's all this?
- You place these
charms around and create
a circular protection.
That way, anyone
who comes in is
bound to abide by club rules.
Keeps the patrons safe.
- All right.
I like that.
Good job, Javi.
- Oh, uh, there's something else
I wanna show you.
That's been here down
here the whole time?
- That's like
The Handler's collection,
what he stole or bought.
- Hah.
You know what any of this is?
- I mean, some.
Not all of it, though.
I mean, he has stuff
for protection,
prosperity, healing.
There's real
dark-a*s sh*t too.
- Javi, we can help a
lot of people with this.
- I was thinking
the same thing.
- Hello, handsome.
- Hey, gorgeous.
I was wondering if you would
join me tomorrow for dinner.
We can do a nice
restaurant, or I could
cook for you at my manor.
Your choice.
I love a man who
knows how to cook.
Ah, let me think about it,
and I'll get back to you, okay?
- Fair enough.
While you think on that,
I could use your help
with something else.
What's that?
- A few years back, The Handler
stole something from my family,
and I'd like it back.
The heirloom that he stole from
my family, it was important.
And now that he's
gone, I think it's only
proper that it gets returned.
All right, send me
all the details.
- Will do.
See you soon.
Goodbye.
- Pete.
I'm gonna call you Pete
because I feel we've gotten
to know each other so well.
I want you to take
your brother here.
- Back to your father, to
serve as a reminder of what
will happen to
anyone who denies me.
Never mind.
- I think it'll send a
bigger message if I do this.
- After he burns out, send
them both back to their father.
- Hey, girl!
- Mona.
- I'm so happy
that you're here.
- How have you been?
Good.
- It been hard some days,
and I finally get why you left.
Sometimes I feel like
I just want to hide
from everything that happened.
- Yeah.
Because, you know, after
everything, like the Wraith,
the Resurrection,
me and Angela,
Tabitha, I just--
I wanted to die.
And I just--I felt like if I
had stayed, then I don't know,
I would have--
I would have k*lled
myself or something, so--
- Jesus.
How did you even
get through it?
- Okay.
All right.
Believe it or
not, it was magic.
- What?
- Yes.
Okay, so look, I researched
how electroshock therapy
works for people with PTSD.
I tried it on
myself, and I guess,
it kinda helped me connect
to magic in a new way.
- Well, I'm glad
that you're here.
- Oh, you think you
can give me a potion
to make her edges fall out?
- Absolutely.
- Yeah, because--
- Yeah, you play that.
- The first thing I'll do.
- Yeah, that's what I did.
- Hey, shorty.
Good morning.
- Hey, how are you doing?
- Good.
- Hey!
Mommy!
- So good to see you.
Hey.
- Hey.
- Hey, Ange, you look amazing.
- Thank you.
- So I'm just
standing here looking
like a big old Barney, huh?
- b*tch, you look good too.
Don't play.
This is nice.
- I'ma just go
back in the office
and finish packaging orders.
That's what I'ma do.
- So would--give me
the tour girl, okay?
- Yes.
- Yo, I'm upgraded
from that upper room.
Okay.
- Okay, guys, what about me?
- From the upper room.
- Do you all remember
the first time
Tabitha tried to get
us to work together?
Oh, my gosh.
- Sherise had us bouncing
like rabbits.
- We didn't even know what
was happening until Tabitha
burst out laughing.
- Well, I was running around
trying to get you all to stop.
What you wanted me to do?
- Listen, I'll go home--
- Oh, Darletra, come join us.
- Hey, babe, you want a drink?
- Are y'all sure?
I don't wanna intrude.
- It's too late for that.
- Uh, Mona--
Chill.
- Seriously, Ange?
We're reminiscing
about Tabitha.
She shouldn't be here.
- Okay, Mohawk, do
you have a problem?
- Yeah, horse hair.
I think it's kind of shitty
how you're using Angela.
- How am I using Angela?
And what I think is f*cked up
is that you in my business.
- Are you jealous?
- Are you jealous?
- Okay, you guys, please,
let's just not do this today.
Please.
- No, Jordan.
She being mad disrespectful,
and I haven't
done anything to her yet.
- All right, all right.
- Both of y'all stop it now.
- Okay?
- You know, I
think it's time you
tame your little girlfriend.
- Mona!
- Maybe she should
still be on a leash.
- Puta!
Did you f*cking slap me?
- I did.
- I said stop!
- Ange, was that you?
- Mona, get out.
- Me?
She f*cking slapped me!
- And you f*cking started it.
Get out my house!
- Don't worry.
- Out!
You good, shorty?
- I'm good.
- Oh, man.
- Mona, what the hell was that?
- No, Ange,
what the hell with you?
You're sleeping with the enemy!
- Stop.
- Um, but I do
wanna say I'm sorry.
Like, I ain't mean
to ruin your day.
- Don't worry about it, shorty.
I was gonna smack
that b*tch too.
- Sherise.
- Nah, f*ck that b*tch.
- Darletra has
been there for me.
Unlike you.
You left, remember?
So why are you up in
here acting like that?
- I care about you, Ange.
You really think she's
the right person for you?
- Yeah, I do.
And she makes me happy.
Mona, you don't
get to come in here
and tell me how
to live my life.
Because I don't tell
you how to live yours.
And Mona, don't
step foot back here
until you can learn how to
respect me and my decisions.
Peace.
- So this is how it is.
I leave, and y'all replaced
me with this chick.
- No one replaced you, Mona.
Well, look, she is my friend.
She's been there for me.
Where were you?
Look, I get that
you had to leave,
but you don't get to judge
any of us for moving on.
You don't know what
we went through.
- Are you kidding me?
She helped k*ll Tabitha.
- Girl, you know
good and g*dd*mn well
this don't got nothing to
do with Tabitha or Darletra.
Now, I love you,
shorty, but this
got everything to do with you.
What happened?
You're afraid you
don't fit in no more?
You moved on and thought we
wasn't gonna do the same?
Now, in case you
forgot, you left town,
and you left me with
The m*therf*cking Handler.
And I had a leash
around my neck
while you was out there
rebuilding your new life.
Darletra helped me get out.
And you got the audacity
to roll up in here
and talk about putting
b*tches back on leashes?
- Err, all right, may--maybe
I shouldn't have said that--
- You shouldn't have.
Now get your sh*t together, or
you going to lose us forever.
I'm out of here.
I don't like this drama sh*t.
You.
Mona!
- What the hell
was all of that?
- So you're mad at me
for defending myself?
Mona started it.
- No, this is not about Mona.
This is the second
time I've seen you
take a situation way too far.
And I don't like
what I'm seeing.
You can't just go around
handling every conflict
that you have with violence.
- I'm sorry for reacting.
This is still really new to me.
I've never, ever had somebody
that I felt so protective over.
I just don't wanna lose you.
You're not going to lose me.
But you got to get a
handle on your anger.
- I will.
I promise.
- Are you enjoying yourself?
I most certainly am.
I love the way you spoil me.
- The pleasure is all mine.
Before, you mentioned
something about an heirloom.
Can you tell me more?
- Of course.
When my family came here from
Martinique generations ago,
it was the only magical
item of importance
they brought with them.
My grandfather, he died at
the hands of The Handler,
who stole it.
So getting it back will
help bring my mother peace.
- Did your family
settle in Georgia?
- Texas.
I grew up there.
I got into the oil
drilling business
and moved to Georgia in 2018.
- You know, it would
mean the world to me
if you helped me find it.
It's a cube with symbols on it.
It brings you luck.
I'll see what I can find.
- Wow.
So that's what
we're doing, huh?
This son of a b*tch.
Yeah, Caden?
Yeah, I tried my
magic on Anthony,
but that sh*t ain't work.
- Sherise, you
need to be careful.
If he knows that you're
using your magic on him,
he will k*ll you!
- Caden, don't worry.
He ain't noticed.
But he did say
something about a cube.
Said it was some type
of family heirloom?
Mm, I don't believe
him, though.
He lying already.
Thanks for letting me know.
Meanwhile, be smart.
Don't put yourself in any
unnecessary danger, okay?
- Hi, Ms. Davis.
You don't know me,
but I need your help.
I am being held against my
will by a child or something,
spreading some illness.
Please help me.
That woman sound
like a whack job.
Help me!
- Mommy, where are you?
I, uh, I was, uh, just
over here waiting for you.
I'm crazy.
- What were you doing?
- Just, uh, getting snacks.
- Okay.
Let's go.
- No need for hostility.
She's not here to fight.
Are you, Claudette?
- I see you've made
yourself comfortable.
I guess some things
never change.
Same old Claudette.
Hello, Anthony.
I see you're still walking
around with Dumb and Dumber.
- How may I help you,
Claudette?
- I came to make a request
of our new Elder.
- As an Elder,
I'm here to serve.
Good.
I want you to assure that
Caden's invitation to join
the Council is revoked.
- I don't favor your
sister,
but why do you think I'll do
anything for you?
- I'm gonna take care of a
problem for you, Dominique.
I know you two have different
views on how to run things.
I'll take him out.
Your pretty little
hand stays clean.
- I can agree to those terms.
Oh, great.
And since I'm going
to be k*lling for you,
I do have another request.
- Damn it, Claudette.
What are you up to?
- You all good, boss?
- Yes.
- What about the item you
want from Obsidian Dream?
- Sherise will get
it for me.
While I'll burn that little
witch's world to the ground.
And if that two-faced
b*tch Claudette crosses me,
I'll do the same to her.
