[ Dramatic music plays ]
Mona, are you okay?
-Yeah. I can breathe again. -Okay.
Hey, hey, bitch.
Where the fuck you came from, Camille?
-Sherise -- -What are you talking about?
How the fuck did you know that spell?
How did you banish that wraith?
-It just came to me. -Bullshit!
You used us, didn't you?
You used us to unbind you, didn't you?
How 'bout you back the fuck off me?
-How 'bout you back -- -Whoa, whoa, whoa, Sherise.
Sherise, come on, now. She just saved Mona.
Angela, she has death magick!
What does -- Is that bad?
Unh-unh. Nah. Nah, see, look, some death magick is fine.
You know, talkin' to spirits,
even killing has its place.
But resurrection, immortality, controlling spirits --
Unh-unh. That shit is forbidden.
It disrupts the very balance of nature.
And bitches with death magick
can practically do that shit at will!
Mnh-mnh.
I'm calling Tabitha.
No, Sherise, you can't!
Forbidden by who? Forbidden by who?!
Forbidden by who?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Knock on door ]
We have a very serious problem.
[ Cellphone rings ]
Sherise?
Sherise, calm down.
Okay, look, take everyone down to the Mystic Haven,
and I'll meet you there.
Do not leave!
♪ Wicked, wicked
♪ Are we
♪ Wicked, wicked
♪ Are we on the wicked shit?
[ Dramatic music plays ]
SHERISE: The fuck is --
Y'all working together?
Yes.
This is Caden.
You're Caden?
My mom sent me to find you.
Who the fuck are you? Why did you attack us?
CADEN: I was trying to stop you.
I'm a Guardian for The Council,
a high order of witches that governs all magick.
It's my duty to uphold magickal law.
Which you've broken.
My mama told me all about you Guardians.
She's a cop. A witch cop.
Yes, she is.
And you are going to tell us
everything that you did from the beginning.
And I mean everything.
Tabitha, if we hadn't unbound her,
Mona would have been dead!
And because you unbound her, we might all die.
Fuck all of this.
I want to know everything, now!
What are y'all hiding from me?
Witches with death magick are very dangerous.
The Council orders them all bound,
and those that refuse are killed.
You are especially strong.
When you were born, we feared
that The Council would take extreme action.
I knew your mother. I was there when you were born.
So I bound your powers, and with Caden's help,
your parents kept you hidden.
So they knew about this?
About me?
Resurrection and immortality?
That's the kind of power some people would kill for.
Or will get executed by The Council.
Your resurrection spell brought a lot
of unwanted attention our way.
Camille, a dangerous witch named Claudette Lenoir is after you.
Lenoir? Wait, the black?
"The white will frighten but the black will destroy.
And the red will burn it all."
That was one of the warnings.
Lenoir means "the black."
Decades ago, Claudette used her magick
to perform a resurrection.
As punishment, she was stripped of her magick.
Camille, when she finds you,
she's gonna try to take your magick to use as her own.
But if she was stripped, then --
I assure you, she will find the means.
And she's ruthless.
Why the fuck is she still here?
She should run or re-bind herself, something!
TABITHA: No, it's too late.
And re-binding her is just gonna leave her defenseless.
And since you all were part of the magick,
you're in danger too.
You're gonna have to work together to face this.
Camille, you have a lot of power.
I just have to teach you how to use it.
Well, since you can't leave, you can just stay with us.
-We have an extra room. -There goes Jordan,
making decisions for everyone again.
-What does that mean? -MONA: ...Jordan!
Do you think about anyone but yourself?
It's really cool. I can just stay in my Airbnb.
No, Camille.
This is about Jordan.
Everything that's happened is your fault.
Your obsession with gaining magick.
Me dying. The wraith. Unbinding Camille!
Fuck this!
Magick has done nothing but ruin my life.
So, yeah, Camille, you move in or not.
I don't fucking care.
Either way, I'm done with this shit!
Wait, Mona!
Tabitha, I have to go.
I have to address The Council before they send another.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Jordan crying ]
-She hates me. -No, no, she doesn't.
It's okay.
Hey! Hey!
Why did my mom send me here to find you?
She knew that you were in danger.
And I'm one of the only people she trusted to keep you safe.
Needless to say I failed.
But safe from what?
We already told you.
Claudette, The Council,
others seeking power.
Did my mom's death have anything to do with any of this?
I don't know who killed Kendria.
-[ Scoffs ] -That's the truth.
I know you want more answers.
Train with Tabitha.
Control your magick.
That's all that matters right now.
You could kill someone if you don't.
That's it?
Train with Tabitha, who's shut me out for weeks?
You know what, Caden? You can fuck off.
I don't know why my mom would send me to find you anyway.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Sighs ]
Home sweet home.
[ High-pitched ringing ]
[ Groans ]
I, um...
I know this isn't a ton of space.
Oh, no. No, it's good.
I don't have much.
Is it weird for you to up and move into a new place?
Honestly,
of everything that's happened,
this is the least weird.
We moved around a lot, so I'm used to restarting.
What I'm not used to is having a storage unit
full of stuff in Cali that I can't go back to.
Well, you know this don't have to be temporary.
You can actually stay here after we deal with Claudette.
I don't think so.
I don't really belong here,
and I definitely don't trust Tabitha.
She's not telling us everything.
[ Sighs ]
[ Somber music plays ]
Ang, please put that shit away?
Babe, I'm -- I'm setting up the next dreamstate elixir trials
to help with trauma.
I'm trying to see if letting the mixture sit
for various amounts of time improves the efficacy.
Alright, I'm gonna go watch some TV.
[ Hip-hop music plays ]
-[ Sighs ] -Mona --
Look, you said you wanted me to come over, so I'm here.
But I didn't come to watch you do more magick crap.
This elixir can help a lot of people, including you.
I don't care! I don't wanna see it.
You can count me out.
You good, shorty?
Fucking peachy.
[ Sighs ]
You love Angela.
You want to be with Angela.
Go make up
and finally be a real, happy couple.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I'm gonna make up with Angela.
[ Cellphone vibrates ]
I'm sorry, Ang.
You know, I know I've been a little off lately.
I'm just really worried about you.
I know.
You've been amazing.
I love you.
You have never said that before.
I'm saying it now.
I love you.
I want us to be together.
Me too. I love so you so much.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
TABITHA: Feel the rhythm of your breath.
Feel the flow of your magick.
Focus on quieting the spirits.
[ Indistinct whispering ]
CAMILLE: I can't shut them out.
TABITHA: Camille, listen to my voice.
Control your magick.
Shut them out.
I'm -- I'm trying.
-[ High-pitched ringing ] -[ Groans ]
Damn it!
First the whispers and then headaches
and now this high-pitched tone?
What the hell, Tabitha?
You got a lot of power.
It's overwhelming you.
The spirits are trying to talk to you,
but not all of them are good.
You have to learn to shut them out,
or they can get very aggressive.
I'm trying!
I know you are, sweetie. Come on. You need to rest.
We'll pick this back up tomorrow.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
DARLETRA: All we've done for days is watch.
When do we take her?
Patience, Darletra.
Tabitha is a powerful witch.
Who knows how much she's taught them.
We need to know exactly what we're up against.
Camille is...precious.
Without her, The Handler will kill me
and put you back on a leash.
You remember what that was like.
[ Indistinct whispering ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Well, you've been gone for almost a week.
I had to throw The Council off.
I told them there was a witch with death magick
who conjured a wraith then fled to Nebraska.
Nebraska? So that's where you've been all week?
I made some stops.
I had to fabricate a trail.
And when you got to Nebraska?
I told them that I eliminated the threat.
As they had ordered.
They're satisfied for time being.
-Alright, good. -CADEN: How's Camille?
Unfortunately, her training isn't going smooth.
She has no idea how much power she contains.
It's taking a toll.
You realize the only way to save Camille's life
is to bring Claudette right to her?
Yes. I am aware of that.
We're gonna have to drag her out.
I know Claudette.
And I'm certain she's already headed this way.
We have to find her before she finds us.
You're right.
ANGELA: Thanks, babe.
MONA: Here you go.
[ Hip-hop music plays ]
SHERISE: Y'all alright?
I don't know. Something feels off.
Like we're out of sync since we got back together.
Seems like y'all was out of sync before that.
You know, I thought us being a couple
would make things okay.
I don't know. Something just feels forced.
[ Sighs ]
Mm. You know what?
I'm going to go work on the dreamstate elixir.
If I get it right, I can help her through this.
Wait, you finna leave me here?
Mm-hmm.
Babe, I gotta go.
-What? -Oh, and you finna leave me too?
Not trying not to flunk out when I'm this close to graduating.
Oh, you just waited for her to leave first, huh?
Sherise Baker.
Who's askin'?
Claudette Lenoir.
Get up and leave this bar right now.
Forget you ever met me.
That's all you got?
[ Chuckles ] That's cute.
Tabitha has really been holding out on you.
I'm a bit disappointed.
What?
You think grabbing wrists and eye contact
is the extent of your powers?
Sherise, with your magick,
you can have grand-scale influence.
Your own shows in Vegas or Dubai.
Your own clubs.
Build an empire of legions who adore you.
You can have anything you want.
I can teach you how to use power of the mind
in ways you've never dreamed.
I bet Tabitha never, ever told you you were that powerful.
Hm. So what do you want?
'Cause ain't nothing like that comin' for free.
All I want is a little information, and Camille.
Why?
Because she has something of mine.
-What? -It's not important.
Believe me, it's nothing she'll miss.
I'll even leave you and your friends alone.
Scout's honor.
Now, you can't tell me her arrival in your life
has been anything more than trouble.
Hmm?
That's how you can contact me.
Think about it.
But not be long.
I can promise you, without your help,
I'll run through every single one of you
if I have to for her.
And I'll make it hurt.
[ Coughs ]
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Gasping ]
See?
And don't bother showing that card or telling anyone.
It's spelled so only you'll remember it.
Ta-ta.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Come in.
I have something for you.
Is it hallucinogenic?
'Cause if not, I don't want it.
Angela, this better not be some magick shit.
No, no, no, no. Hear me out.
So you know I've been working on the dreamstate elixir
to help people heal from trauma.
I haven't quite gotten it right just yet,
but one of my trials led to this happy mistake.
And this is?
It's like a forgetfulness potion.
You keep the memory,
but you forget the fear and trauma that comes with it.
It lasts for 48 hours.
So I'm supposed to take this and what?
Forget that I died, came back,
had this soul-sucking wraith taking me over?
I'm just trying to help.
By what? By trying to fix me?
By trying to conjure up some old version of Mona?
You can't! Nobody can! Magick fucking killed her!
You just keep trying to shove it down my fucking throat!
[ Glass shatters ]
Fuck, Mona.
I'm not trying to fix you.
-I'm just trying to help you. -No!
This isn't working!
We don't work anymore, Angela!
I should have ne-- We should have never taken it further.
Then why did you say you wanted to take it further?
-Why are you here?! -I don't know!
I was out there with Sherise, and then I came in here --
I don't know what happened.
Oh, my God.
Sherise.
[ Scoffs ]
Oh, that fucking bitch.
[ Breathes shakily ]
Sherise made you...
[ Somber music plays ]
[ Sighs ]
SHERISE: Oh, hey, y'all.
Ya girl just went shopping,
and I got some new wigs.
I'm about to go to the club
and have these niggas give me all of they money.
[ Chuckles ] Look.
-What? -MONA: Don't.
You used your magick against me.
Got into my head.
Betrayed my trust.
Our trust.
Look, it's not even like that.
I was just trying to get y'all back together.
By violating my mind!
God! Everybody's trying to fix Mona.
Well, guess what?
I'm just too broken to be fixed.
Come on, Mona, girl, we can talk about this.
-[ Electricity zaps ] -The fuck?
Ang!
-[ Door slams ] -You promised.
You promised all of us that
you would never use your magick on us.
I understand you trying to stop Jordan
from resurrecting Mona, but this?
You know how important she is to me,
and now we're over.
You ruined us.
She is never gonna forgive you for this.
And neither will I.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
[ Door opens ]
[ Door closes ]
[ Breathes shakily ]
[ Indistinct whispering ]
-[ Thud ] -[ Mona screaming ]
Shit! Fuck!
Jesus, Mona, what happened?
Fucking Sherise used her power on me and Angela
to get us back together.
And now...
I don't want to fucking talk about it!
Okay. You don't have to.
No. Fuck Jordan, fuck Sherise,
and fuck Tabitha for bringing us together.
I'm fucking moving out of this bitch.
Shit.
Yo, I really fucked up, Jordan.
[ Laughs ]
Join the club.
No, like...
Mona and Angela are never gonna forgive me for this.
You know, I'm not in a position to throw stones,
but you kind of know how Angela feels about free will.
And you kind of promised.
Yeah, I know.
But I was just trying to get them back together.
Yo, Mona smacked the fuck outta me.
And I just took that shit like a punk.
I guess I earned it.
You know, that's our problem.
Trying to fix everybody with magick.
I'm trying to fix myself.
You're trying to fix them.
Some things magick just can't fix.
[ Upbeat music plays ]
[ Laughs ]
[ Singing indistinctly ]
[ Indistinct whispering ]
CAMILLE: Focus.
WHISPERS: Listen to me!
[ Screams ]
[ Humming ]
[ Camille screaming ]
[ Screams ]
Camille!
[ Coughing ]
What the fuck was that?!
[ Coughing ] I don't know!
It was like a spirit or something.
Trying to drown me.
I told y'all.
It's this fucking magick.
[ Coughs ]
Tabitha said that
the spirits were gonna get aggressive,
but I didn't know she meant like this!
Tell me about it.
You should probably talk to Angela for something.
She can -- She can make some kind of potion
or a spell to suppress your power.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Thanks for agreeing to -- to help.
Of course.
The potion is almost done.
-Two minutes should do it. -[ High-pitched ringing ]
[ Groans ]
Headaches?
Among other things.
This should do it.
Okay.
So, um, excess magick
disrupts the balance of energy in your body.
But this is going to restore the balance
so that you can manage the power easier
without the pain or the overwhelm.
That should do it.
I, um -- I heard about what happened with Sherise.
I'm sorry.
I know you really love Mona.
Yeah.
[ Sighs ]
When we did the resurrection spell,
I couldn't bear losing her.
I feel like I lost her anyway.
You did.
All of you.
It's okay to grieve who -- who she used to be
to make space for who she is now.
Okay, Camille.
I see you with the deep insight.
Thanks, though.
It helps.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Was that me?
[ Mid-tempo music plays ]
TABITHA: Focus your magick on letting one voice come through.
You are the one in control of your power.
CAMILLE: Tabitha?
Who is Emma?
Wh-- Emma? Emma who?
Jones.
She said she's sorry she stole your doll?
[ Laughs ] I always knew it was her.
Emma was my childhood neighbor.
Wow, Camille, this is quite impressive progress.
Angela's potion really helped.
Well, you keep practicing.
The more you control your power,
the less other spirits can control you.
You are really doing good.
Alright, close your eyes.
Take a deep breath.
[ Breathes deeply ]
Now focus.
Angela.
Ang, come on.
I know I was wrong.
Just open the door.
[ Sighs ]
[ Down-tempo music plays ]
Oh! Oh, my God! I am so sorry.
It's all good. It's not even broken.
Okay. Okay, good.
Let me buy you a drink?
Isn't that supposed to be my line?
Are you offering?
Yeah, I'm offering.
Call me T.
Camille.
Nice to meet you.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
I've had all my contacts looking for her.
Nothing.
And this isn't working either.
She's cloaked.
It's too powerful.
She could be standing right outside,
and we wouldn't even know.
I know what we need.
[ Both laugh ]
-Yes. -[ Speaks indistinctly ]
[ Laughs ] Go ahead.
We got two more.
Okay, what are we cheersing to?
Pssh. To us.
-[ Laughs ] -SHERISE: Okay, Taj. It's me.
Um, look, I-I know that I hurt you.
And I know that you're upset with me.
I... [ Sighs ]
I seem to be doing that a lot lately.
But I do miss you.
And -- And I do want to make this work.
So, um, when you get a chance, just -- just call me back, okay?
Bye.
[ Sighs ]
Oh, my God.
I haven't laughed like this in weeks.
You know what? Me neither.
So, how's a pretty girl like you not been scooped up yet?
Maybe I don't wanna be.
No, um, we moved around a lot.
And then working in hospice, death is a part of the job.
It's either I'm leaving people or they're leaving me.
And I don't really let anyone get too close.
So you mean close like this?
[ Laughs ]
How about me and you get out of here?
Why leave?
There's a perfectly good bathroom.
-TAJ: Nah, unh-unh. -CAMILLE: [ Laughs ]
-TAJ: Now, girl. Come here. -CAMILLE: Now.
Oh.
TAJ: Dang. Mm.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
Sherise! What's wrong?
TAJ: Sherise.
Wait, you two know each other?
That's Taj.
Apparently you two know each other.
Taj? That's what T stands for?
Sherise, I swear, I didn't know.
TAJ: It's none of her business, anyway.
CAMILLE: No. No, no, no.
I had no idea. I am so sorry.
I want no parts of this. I'm out.
Sherise, I am so sorry.
What? You made it clear you didn't want
nothing to do with me, so what's the problem?
You don't get to have what you want from me
and you freeze me out for weeks, nigga.
Weeks!
[ Scoffs ]
You just like those other niggas.
And to think, I actually called to apologize to your Black ass.
When I'm gone,
you'll obsess over me until it hurts.
Sherise.
Sherise, I swear, I didn't know.
Things have just been so fucked up lately
and I needed a distraction.
Look, shorty, I know it's not your fault,
but I'm so pissed right now, I can't even look at you.
[ High-pitched ringing ]
[ Indistinct whispering ]
CAMILLE: Something is wrong.
Something's not right.
-[ Groans ] -[ Cellphone vibrates ]
Sherise.
You promise that my friends will be safe?
-I swear. -SHERISE: Fine.
If you can get this bitch out my life, I'm in.
You're making the right decision, Sherise.
I'll be in touch soon.
Mona, what do you want me to do? I said that I'm sorry!
Don't move out, just please, please just talk to me!
-Tell me how to fix this! -You can't fix this, Jordan!
[ All groaning ]
What is that?
It's Camille! Tell her to stop!
[ Electricity zaps ]
Oof!
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to!
I got to find Tabitha!
[ Both breathing heavily ]
Tabitha! Tabitha!
What's happening to me?
I almost killed Jordan and Mona.
Tell me the truth.
[ Dramatic music plays ]
You really want the truth?
The truth is,
Kendria is not your mother.
Your birth mother
was Claudette Lenoir.
