Next week is the Mid-Season-Finale of “Secret Circle.” WHAT! No new “Secret Circle” till 2012? How will I survive? This is one of my favorite new shows. Grrrr!

So last week was the Halloween episode, and this week the kids learned that Faye’s grandpa Henry is very dead.

During the Halloween episode, Jake and the witch hunters planned to finally kill off the circle. However at the last minute, Jake learned that Cassie had dark magic in her, and that meant his plan would fail. In fact one of the hunters was killed, the guy who initially seemed interested in Cassie when she first moved to town. He was a plant all along.

We learned Cassie’s father, John Blackwell, apparently has dark magic and this was passed to Cassie. This, and the fact that her mothers line goes back to the beginnings of witchcraft, makes her exceptionally powerful. So powerful that she can do magic without the need of the circle, but she doesn’t know how to control it.

Cassie’s grandma Jean went to check on Henry, and was clubbed over the back of the head by Charles. He drugged her and took Henry’s crystal from her. She was scrying over Henry with it to see what had happened to him I guess. Charles and Dawn used the crystal to erase her memory, but also control her. Charles it seems is onto Dawn, he is keeping the crystal for himself and has put Dawn in her place. Uh oh! That’s not going to go over well with Dawn. I can see these two turning on one another at some point.

Faye and the others learned about Henry’s death, but they don’t know who killed him yet. Jake meanwhile continues to stall the witch hunters from killing the circle, saying he has to learn more about Cassie to avoid another “accident.”

I can’t tell if Jake is falling for Cassie, and is stalling to try and save her, or not. Or is he more interested in her dark magic and has changed his original plans for her and the circle? They basically need Jake to complete the circle, but how can they trust him after all of this?
