So just some thoughts, but first a bit of a recap, of the last episode of “The Secret Circle.”

The background story going on was that it was Adam’s birthday. His dad Ethan asked Diana to help plan a party for him at the Boathouse, and she agreed. Awkward much? Meanwhile Charles was furious with Dawn for trying to turn Ethan against him and playing all sides. Dawn said they were on the same side, to get their powers back. Charles however warned her not to cross him again.

Cassie found herself having feelings for both Adam and Jake. Jake she didn’t trust, and Adam . . . well there was still the Diana guilt there. Adam screwed himself over a bit though when he stole Cassie’s father’s medallion. He did it to keep her and the circle safe, as Cassie was convinced the medal was the key to fighting the witch hunters as her dad used it in the past.

A woman named Lucy showed up to see Cassie. Cassie recognized her from Jake’s memory, she was there the day of the fire. She’s shocked to learn Cassie has her father’s medallion, and that Blackwell is alive. She offers to help Cassie activate the medallion so she and the circle can use it to protect themselves.

Meanwhile Faye and Melissa are getting way too involved with the wrong crowd, Voodoo Daddy Boy Lee and his drug pushing friend Callum. Melissa gets hooked on this magical drug of Callum’s and keeps turning to him for it, thinking he reminds her of her dead boyfriend as well.

Lucy gathers the circle to activate the medallion, but the spell goes wrong. They realize it’s sucking their power out, much like the spell Faye did a few weeks back. Lucy admits she’s not on their side, she’s going to leave them vulnerable to the hunters basically. Cassie however gets so angry she remembers her father’s words that night and how to use the medallion. She almost lights Lucy on fire, but lets her live. She tells her to tell the hunters they have the medallion and know how to use it!

Before Lucy can leave town, Dawn confronted her. Dawn marked her years ago so she’d know if Lucy ever returned. Lucy was supposed to be on their side, she was supposed to protect them from the hunters. Lucy tells Dawn she was never on their side and stabs Dawn, leaving her to die. Charles, however, who drugged and stole Ethan’s crystal, shows up and saves Dawn with it.

The end had Cassie in her house using her magic and suddenly sensed her father. Meanwhile Lucy met with one of the witch hunter elders. She warned him that Cassie has the medallion and is more powerful than they ever could have thought. He says people keep telling him this, he’ll have to see for himself. He then kills Lucy!

My Thoughts . . .

Why does Charles hang out with Dawn at all anymore, let alone save her life! She is worthless. Sure she’s a great schemer, but it’s Charles doing all the work here. Not only that, but these crystals they are so desperate to get? It seems they waste most of the magic cleaning up Dawn’s messes. Why didn’t he let her die?

I got the feeling that much like with Jake, Cassie’s spell at the end of the show may have summoned her father?

I can’t wait to see her dad return. Things with the adults should get very interesting! I tried looking through my older comments, but couldn’t find it. I swear there was a show that either Jane or Diana’s grandma had made a comment about Diana’s mother having a thing for Cassie’s dad at one time. It made me ponder whether they were sisters and never knew? That could get really interesting! I could see Diana slowly going bad, driven by her dark magic.

I wish the adults (Dawn, Charles) would stop picking on poor Ethan. He needs to get a backbone. I hope John doesn’t treat him like crap when he shows up.

Let’s get Grandma Jane back onto the scene. I miss her, and she was the only one with the power to stand up to some of these people who need to be put in their places.

Spoilers for the next two episodes below!

“Valentine” – February 9th
In honor of the holiday, Faye and Melissa throw a girls only anti-Valentine’s Day slumber party for themselves and fellow witches Diana and Cassie. But the night gets wilder than expected when Melissa offers Diana some mood altering “Devil’s Spirit” and the first person Diana loosens up around is Lee (guest star Grey Damon), who crashes the party to help Faye achieve her own power. Meanwhile, Cassie is forced to turn to Adam and Jake after she becomes haunted by the spirits of some vengeful witches.

“Return” – February 16th
Cassie is stunned when a notoriously evil figure from her past shows up on her doorstep (guest star Joe Lando). However, her surprise quickly turns to suspicion when he asks her to return the medallion she found in the wreckage of the fire that killed their parents. Cassie storms off but is captured by Eben and his band of witch hunters. Jake offers to trade himself for Cassie’s freedom and when Adam realizes they’re in trouble he calls the Circle. Meanwhile, Faye and Diana are concerned when Melissa starts spending more time with Callum (guest star Michael Graziadei).
