Favorite Quote:  “Its power is more than I have ever experienced. It’s dark and seductive.” – Cassie

Faye haven been taken by Eben and the witch hunters is being held as leverage against the Circle. As well as the Circle no longer has much trust for John Blackwell having manipulated their parents. Eben only wants one of the crystals so they can’t form the skull in exchange for Faye’s release. They believe their circle magic has the strength to stop the witch hunters. Not only does the circle now realize but so does Charles and Dawn with all this his lies and manipulation know that they need John’s help now more than ever. However, when the skull is joined together from the crystals then the bond connecting the circle will be broken.

The joining of the crystal with John, Cassie and Diana seems to not only give strength to the individuals of the circle but also weakens them. The power of the skull brings out the power hunger in both John and Cassie but Cassie is the one with the intentions of bringing down Eben. John has some other plans for the skull as well as trying to make Cassie and Diana the witches they were always meant to be. Diana and Cassie realize again that John is trying to do the same thing he tried to do to their parents. They find out that the skulls real use is used to kill witches that aren’t from the Balcoin bloodline. With Adam trying to help but Cassie become conscious her power isn’t strong enough alone she unleashes Diana’s powers to fight again John.

With the circle now unbind, Jake, Adam and Melissa are on watch of the ferry to try and release Faye. Faye is able to release herself with her powers back but her attitude always seems to get the better of her. They find Faye in the ferry and Jake whether out of concern or just passion gives her a kiss but Eben ruins it and is determined to rid of them. Soon they are all tied up with only Adam or Diana and Charles to come and save them at this point while the ferry burns again. Jake finally gets the revenge that he’s been secretly harboring and probably part of the reason why he joined the witch hunters before joining the circles.

Charles contacts his mother so they she can get back his and Dawn’s powers to help protect the children. Only to find out that when they power was taken away it was destroyed but Charles’s mother most likely because of Diana is willing to hand over her powers to them. Charles also informed her about Diana and his mother feels the same way that no matter what Diana is theirs and always will be. Charles and Diana make it in time to the ferry because anyone is hurt while Charles tries to get the demons out of Eben, Diana goes to save Jake, Faye and Melissa. Charles then sacrifices himself taking on the demons for Diana and to save them all from Eben and the witch hunters.

In the end they debate if they should rebound the circle or not, some are for and some are against the idea. Diana at this point really just wants to get out of town most likely with Grant and take that cross country drive far away from Chance Harbor since she is feeling totally lost without her father. Jake and Faye are confused with their feels again for each other and Faye back to herself that she was before the circle was bound. Jake gets a note from his grandfather that this isn’t over. Adam takes possession of the skull only to be absorbed by it. Cassie and Diana are now marked with the Balcoin symbol that is soon to be joined by more.

Secret Circle Recap: “Prom”

Season 1 Episode 21

Favorite Quote: “I knew I should have brought demon chasing shoes.” – Faye

The Circle gathers to discuss the return of Nick as well as completely the crystal to ‘protect’ them from the witch hunters. The last remaining piece is somewhere in the school and it seems only Cassie is needed to help located. When Cassie’s mom shows up to show her the way to the crystal but gets cut off because it’s revealed she turns to Diana to help see more during the best night of the year, prom. They find out the Amelia thinks John is using them and that something bad is going to happen and wants Elizabeth and Diana to get out of town. They find out about John’s plan for the Circle as well as where the crystal is hidden in the school.

Jake and Faye decide to go to prom together using it as an excuse to get him into the school despite them deciding to go together 2 years ago when he stood her up. So Faye plans to make it as special as possible with limos and champagne. She waited for 3 hours for him to show up and as a little punishment makes him dance finally at prom. Faye tries to make Jake feel better about Nick and him not being there. Jake finally apologizes to Faye about prom 2 years ago while they are trying to track down Nick to the junk yard where they see Eben waiting for Nick and the crystal.

Melissa is confronted not only with mixed emotions but also seeing the risen Nick when she arrives early to a Circle meeting and for some reason needs her help with something.  He needs one of the crystals because he’s dying and Melissa promises to do whatever she can to make him better. Adam show’s up before Nick can do anything to harm Melissa in his demand for the crystal. Always ever the good friend Adam helps Melissa feel better and channels a little energy to set the mood for a spotlight night dance. Ultimately it’s Melissa that stabs Nick and ends his life for the second time.

John wanting to break the loyalty ties between Charles and Diana decides it’s time to sever those binds. Using the dark magic that John has he re-creates the scene of Cassie’s mom’s death to mess with Charles’s heads a bit. Now how with all the details John added to the hoax is it possible that John might have had something to do with Amelia’s death or was nearby when it happened. Diana find Charles curled up in the corner after the incident and he seems to be terrified which scares her that he thinks Amelia is haunting him for what he did to her.

Grant returns to town even when Diana thinks he’s left but new business bring him back. Unable to take him to prom she promises to save him the last dance at her house later. If not for that chance meeting before prom there would have been no one to hold Diana when her world came crumbling down at the information she had received, even though it seemed John wanted to be there as well to finally scoop in and be daddy but at this time she wouldn’t want him near her.  

What would Eben really want with Faye? And is it possible that John offered her up.

Season 1 Episode 20

Favorite Quote:  “If we live remind me to download this song it’ll be perfect for my running fear of life treadmill mix.” – Faye Chamberlain

Cassie is forced to deal with the funeral of her Grandmother Jane since Charles had unknowing killed her instead of John, who makes it out to believe that it was all due to the witch hunters again. It’s what he’s good at.  Leaving Cassie to confide in Adam in her weakest moment but don’t worry, John has that covered too. All this makes Cassie determined to find that last two crystals to bring down the witch hunters.

Meanwhile everyone still wrestles with the idea of Diana being Cassie’s sister. The truth is confirmed by Charles when he tells her about the rough patch in their relationship bit since he was there and he raised her making him more of a father than John could ever be. And with Charles’s words hits a cord with Diana making her want to defy anything that John wants for the Circle. Even revealing to them that she is the other Blackwell child but they don’t really believe her. Charles confronts John about it since he wants Diana to have nothing to do with John since she’s too good and smart for that. John runs to Dawn hoping that his little confession about Diana being his daughter will give him leverage for Dawn to help him against Charles taking Diana away but she won’t be convinced of that. Diana confirms that she doesn’t want the dark magic because she doesn’t want to hurt anyone.

Without the help of Jake, Diana or Faye, John conducts the circle to find the remaining crystal which one is in Jake’s house. Conveniently because of another Jake and Faye hook up they find Faye’s family crystal in the medicine bottle they stole from Dawn’s purse at the funeral. Leaving only Adam’s family crystal to be found and to charge the dead one but need the whole Circle for that. Unfortunately, because of witch hunters the crystal mysteriously disappears but might need the witch hunters help to know where and Dawn realizes that the crystal is missing from her purse. Ian shows up since Isaac is dead which causes Cassie to think he’s lying and her dark magic to come out which Diana seemed to be the only one that can harasses the focus back to Cassie. They manage while trying to find the traitor to stumble upon the chance that the traitor witch is now killing witch hunters.

Adam reveals to Melissa about the new kiss with Cassie, which brings feels to the surface but mentions the elixir which should have stopped or is blocking any of those real feelings from coming back. He remembers the curse and knows that if he starts to develop feelings for Cassie that one in the Circle will die. Adam and Melissa manage to uncloak some hidden secrets about his grandfather including the map to where the crystal was, and who ever said drinking doesn’t help with anything clearly has never tried it which I don’t recommend because in these cases they never seem to remember later. The map reveals the crystal is somewhere in the high school.

And the twist that certainly no one saw coming, personally didn’t even think of it as a possibility but the traitor witch is Nick. You might remember him as Melissa’s secret boyfriend who got possessed then was killed from drowning. Yes, that’s the same one and only hope there is an explanation and not some kind of zombie thing.

Secret Circle Recap: “Crystal”
Original Air Date (The CW): Friday April 19^th–2012
Season 1 Episode 19

Favorite Quote: “He says my presence chases away the dark like the dawn of everyday.” – Dawn’s Journal

The Circle looks for the other crystals in order to strengthen their magic against the witch-hunters but some possible family secrets are discovered along the way. Cassie and Jake team up with Faye as a tag along but Callum isn’t far behind stirring things up and even starting a fight. They find a ‘conspiracy wall’ in Jake’s grandpa’s house that contains theories about witches from Salem to Satan along with a list of the Circle. Jake’s Grandpa Royce comes home and informs that the Circle will be the death of all of them.

The theory is John wanted to corrupt the circle with dark magic by using the children of the last circle to create it. There is more than one Blackwell child in the Circle, and because of the journal found it’s possibly Faye which would explain quite a bit. As well at the pieces of the crystal together form a crystal skull which is the most powerful of any talisman for a witch to use.

Grant attempts to make this better with Diana before he has to ship out. The date is overshadowed by the searching of the crystals. Diana wanted Grant to be honest with her but she’s not quite ready to reveal her little secret to him just yet leaving Grant to stand alone while Diana deals with the Circle.

Cassie’s Grandma Jane finally comes home and seems to be back to normal since the last visit at the clinic. John tries to talk to Charles but fails leading to an argument but Charles shows up for a meeting and spell with Jane. Eventually, John is over for tea but Charles uses the crystal on his with all intentions of burning him. Jane wants to know first if John really had anything to do with Amelia’s death. Charles’s rash actions lead to a back fire in the plan and not on him, well not yet.

Interesting fact, Royce’s crystal was hidden in an iron ore mine and magic doesn’t work when iron is present. And here from what has been personally read that that only affects fae or faeries and not witches. Also the mine was spelled against dark magic and Cassie as well as Diana wasn’t able to get in.

Secret Circle Recap: “Sacrifice”
Original Air Date (The CW): Friday March 29^th–2012
Season 1 Episode 18

Favorite Quote: “We’ll all burn together.” – Samuel

Despite the elixir that Cassie and Adam used to stop them from loving each other it’s very apparent that a love so strong can’t be completely taken way, more so for Cassie but can still see it with Adam a bit. However, other memories might be a bit fuzzy for Adam even forgetting that he taught Cassie how to hold the tray for work. There almost seems to be an odd personality change in Adam that’s really hard to explain but kind of annoying at the same time because it’s almost uncaring, not like it’s his fault.

Eben shows up chasing a guy for some reason, possibly linked to magic but with them you never know for sure what those witch-hunters are up to. The guy being chased ends up in Jake’s room and they tussle a bit, Cassie seeing it all from her window rushes over only to find out that he’s a friend; Samuel. He’s there to talk to John and get his help because Eben is resurrecting demons just like John did 16 years ago with a sacrifice of an innocent person. Samuel turns out to be already infected with the demon and John plans to rid of it even without his magic that he claims not to have anymore but manages to trap the demon in a cast circle. Eben has now released the demons into himself making him stronger but dangerous.

John tries to be dad with Cassie; it’s cute to see him try but only after saving them from the ‘curse’ that he so conveniently set up. Inviting her out to mini golf, really that’s the best idea to come up with when you barely know your own daughter. Yet, all the time he’s lying to her about not having any magic when he really does and uses just the right moment to reveal that not only to Cassie but also the rest of the circle. Only to tell her that the reason he wasn’t using his was to convince Cassie to stop using her own dark magic.

Faye, Diana and Melissa help Adam with the event for the hockey team. Where the ever mysterious Grant is there during the set up and has Adam present Diana with a glass, correction flute of ginger ale since Adam wouldn’t service the bubbly. Diana leaves to go on a skating date with Grant, ditching from the set-up to find out later that he’s not all what he claims to be. Faye and Melissa like the same guy at the party but Melissa finds an unlikely teammate in Adam to help win the guy’s attention over Faye but he then switched sides to help Faye as well. Only to learn that Kyle already has a girlfriend which makes Adam very upset and not like himself about the hockey player flirting with Faye and Melissa. Diana has no room in her life for liars like Grant but when has she ever been open and honest to him about her magic.

Each one of the families in the circle has a crystal; each on their own have powers but bond together has the most powerful of magic.

Now the biggest question for next week is who was the person in the coffin that John dug up and why is he unearthing it now.

Secret Circle Recap: “Curse”
Original Air Date (The CW): March 22^nd–2012 
Season 1 Episode 17

Favorite Quote: “Maybe we aren’t the dating kinda soul mates.” –Cassie

Destiny might just be a curse. Adam and Cassie finally learn about the consequences to their actions which would explain the crows at the end of the last episode. After their night together they reminisce about the first time they did magic together, even then we knew that this moment was coming. There is a curse between the two families and the birds were a harbinger.

Faye shows her real feelings for Lee (or obsessed according to her friends) since she hasn’t seen him since the casino night. The girls have her back while trying to look for Lee since Faye is convinced that something has happened with him. Which really as far as we know when Jake left town she never thought twice about him until he returned. She and Eva’s moments bring back that guarded and sharp-tongued Faye that just seems to get to us. As well as learning that Eva’s powers are really Faye’s which might just show that Faye is a very powerful witch despite what she says sometimes and it’s reflected in Eva because of what Lee did to save her. The look on Faye’s says it all when she sees Lee’s current state. Not quite sure how breaking the stick just takes the power away that helped bring her back and not take her back to her almost dead state.

Cassie visits her grandmother to learn about the curse. She doesn’t remember (thanks to Dawn and Charles) who Cassie really is thinking it’s her daughter. Making it seem like someone’s jealousy for the fate between the Blakes and Conants, that cut away of John’s face seems to reveal something. Someone in the circle is cursed to die which seems to affect more of the love triangle since Jake is stricken with something. Conveniently, John has a cure/spell to break the curse. John must see himself in Jake to help with all this.

Can really see how the relationships in the circle and recent events still stab a few hearts like the expression on Diana’s face when the circle is informed about Cassie and Adam’s activities. Even Jake while in the process of dying doesn’t seem to be pleased and sure isn’t fairing well. Jake even feels the needs to ask questions, tease and be jealous thinking he’s the one that belongs to be with Cassie and not Jake. This could be quite possibly the same feelings or events that John might have experienced when Amelia and Ethan were together before.

Not sure of the true intentions of Dawn and Charles, first it was all about getting their powers back while hiding the fact that their children have the circle. Now it seems they are all about finding out more so about John’s return and about what John is doing.

The moment with Cassie and Adam with the elixir is so moving almost reminds me about the Romeo and Juliet end scene with the poison. Most people might think that messing with love might be along the lines of dark magic which is something Cassie most of all is trying to get away from. It’s so odd to see the morning after effect of the elixir, so different from the day before almost awkward and strange. Yet, heartbreaking that Cassie is the only one left with all the feelings and memories while Adam gets to walk away like nothing happened but sometimes you don’t need an elixir for that.

The Secret Circle: 01x11 – Ice/Fire

Overview: Adam asks Cassie to the Fire and Ice Winter dance when he helps her research her father’s past. Meanwhile, Faye tries to conduct a spell that will grant her individual magic, but it has terrifying consequences.

Favorite Quote: “Never judge a book by its lip-gloss.” –Lee

Likes:

• The moment with Adam and his father, cute but overly emotional but makes Adam see that he does have feelings for Cassie.
• Adman asking Cassie to the dance – take notes boys if you make it not a big thing and at cool it gets the girl. Not every girl needs the limo, flowers and flashing banner.
• Adam helping Cassie find out more about her father even if it only influences the connection between them; what a sneaky tactic he used too, charm will get you everywhere.
• At least someone in the group has brains; if not for Adam they might have had no idea what Faye was up to. Didn’t your mother ever teach you not to mess with things you don’t know anything about?
• Diana finally getting to have some fun and dancing with that cute guy Aaron and not think about Adam, while Adam is on the sidelines to watch this time to think about the past. Understanding that Melissa is still morning her lost love Nick.
•  The theme of the Fire and Ice dance which was inspired by the Robert Frost poem about the end of a relationship, being so fitting for Diana and Adam’s break-up.
• Never stand in the way of Destiny; an Adam and Cassie kiss.

Dislikes:

• Really? You all are witches and want to be normal high school students that help with the dance and what not? Lame.
• Faye’s attitude, it was cute in the beginning but really starting to wear thin. Like really, stop trying to be the center of attention, don’t know you it might lead to something bad. Learn basic witch code; times 3.
• Faye’s spell affecting everyone else in the circle besides Cassie, and finally having a moment of clarity over it all – for a moment but didn’t last long before blowing up at everyone.
• Ethan giving Cassie suspecting looks in the parking lot like she was the one that was to blame for the fire in the school.  
• Faye running back to Lee – stop being that girl.
• Jake ruing the Adam and Cassie kiss in the basement of the abandoned house that Cassie’s father used to own.

WTF:

• No parents this time trying to work behind the circles back or are they still recovering from the Charles and Dawn kiss.
