-[♪ suspenseful music playing] -Back up. Now.

Or you'll regret it.

Yeah, we've got, like, powers, so...

-Is that so? -[Ollie] Back off.

You want all three to yourself? Don't be greedy.

They're with me.

[♪ moody pop song playing over speakers]

Briar, we need to go. Now.

I'm not leaving here without talking to Ollie.

-Tegan, get her to safety. -Yeah. Come on.

[♪ song continues]

So you're not just from England?

Please, just... just hear me out.

-You're a vampire? Seriously? -[♪ tense music playing]

How could you not tell me this?

I... I couldn't handle the idea of you looking at me...

-how you're looking at me. -Can you blame me?

I didn't choose this, Briar.

I thought I was coming to Aunt Tamora's

for a better life than the one I had at Bristol.

Tamora's your aunt?

-Are you a hybrid? -No, no, I'm just a vampire.

Which... which I realize doesn't sound much better. [sighs]

But I would never hurt a human. Ever.

Did you lure me on that ghost tour as bait?

No. Yea-- yeah. I--

You don't know Aunt Tamora's temper.

Okay, I didn't have a choice.

She'd already taken everything from me.

I can never see my family again. I can never go home.

I couldn't let her do the same to you.

That's why I told you to run.

What does she have to do with my mom?

All I know, all-- all I overheard,

was that they were in a coven together

and Tamora was coming after you

as part of some, like, crazy plan.

She sounded scared, Briar. Not that that's an excuse,

but she sounded like something bad was out there.

You can trust me.

That's the same thing the cops told me.

And my dad told me. And Miss Graves.

And they never came through.

[♪ theme music playing]

[♪ music concludes]

-[Sasha breathes heavily] -[Tegan] In. Out. In.

That was a mistake.

Oh, thank goodness. Are you okay?

Yeah, of course I'm okay. Are you okay?

[chuckles nervously] Just a mild panic attack.

Not the first time.

Um, what do you think you're doing here?

Uh, not to get too involved, but you're here too, Jake.

-Thank you. -Yeah, that's different.

Look, this is not a part of town

for you girls to just be hanging out in.

Wow.

Us girls? Did you follow us here?

Did you use a spell to track me?

Look, this area is crawling with vampires.

Do I look like some sort of damsel in distress to you?

I don't know, Brooklyn, you seem pretty distressed right now.

Well, maybe if you were actually as powerful as you claim to be,

I wouldn't have to go looking for answers on my own.

-With us, remember. -With them.

Guys, enough with the drama.

Let's just get ready for the party.

We have it handled, Jake.

[Jake] Keep being reckless!

But if you aren't careful,

you're gonna end up like your mom.

[♪ soft somber music playing]

Don't talk about my mom. Ever.

Okay, that's-- Look, that's not...

that's not what I meant.

I think it's clear what you meant, Jake.

He didn't ask to be turned into a vampire.

There's just a small part of me that kind of feels bad for him.

Keep that part small.

-[hesitates] But-- -Okay, inserting myself

all over the place today. But trust me, Bri,

this is not a topic you want to push with Sash.

Thank you, T.

-Got it. [sighs] -[♪ song concludes]

-[♪ rock music playing] -Another vial? Human this time?

Never.

-All right. -[Ollie] Is there a way?

To go back?

Where?

To being normal. A human.

[chuckles] Don't you wish.

-How long you been turned? -Three weeks.

And still no human blood? Wow.

[laughs] You're gonna get violent soon, kid.

[Sasha] Shut up, Dylan.

You have to be firm with that one.

If he offers you a round of Pick Your Poison,

politely decline.

I'm sorry, he's giving out poisons?

Oh, my God, of course not.

We don't even touch toxins until senior year.

The only risk is that you don't know

what potion you're gonna get

and what'll happen if you drink it.

It could be a silly one, it could be humiliating.

Fun, right?

Um...

Sorry, it just looked like you needed a little cooling off.

-I didn't think we were talking. -[Briar] I'm not talking.

I was just quietly ruining your wardrobe

So, I emailed Miss Graves earlier

and I asked her for anything she still has on her mom.

Old photos, report cards, anything. [sighs]

That is so thoughtful of you, Sasha.

Well, they don't keep records going back that far,

but look at the autograph wall.

[♪ soft sentimental music playing]

[Briar] Her signature.

[Sasha] So it's kind of like she's here.

With you now.

Here. It's your turn.

Thank you.

Hey, McKenna. Did you come with your trio?

If you want to say I don't have friends,

just say I don't have friends.

What? No, I... I didn't mean that you--

for trying to get her not to feel bad?

It's her specialty.

But I also feel completely fine.

-I think I got a dud. -[Sasha] Okay.

-Oh, wait. -[Tegan's stomach rumbling]

Tegan?

[Tegan's stomach rumbling]

Sometimes I feel like squirrels are trying to talk to me.

-[gasps] -Uh-oh. It wasn't a dud. [sighs]

[gasps, chuckles] My-- my greatest creation.

Truth potion.

Okay, this is not like the parties back at home.

I have a huge crush on-- [gasps]

[laughs]

Dylan, I don't think we've properly met.

Allow me to introduce myself.

-[crowd laughs] -[♪ tense music playing]

Yo. Back off. You already ruined one shirt today.

Undo the potion. Now.

No.

[Dylan groans] That's a party foul, Sasha.

-Mm. Sorry, not sorry. T? -[♪ music concludes]

[♪ pop music continues]

Yeah. Worked. Thank you.

Perhaps the party was not the best idea.

Forget that. Let's do Hex Fest every night.

-Mm. -So this is what you meant?

-Sorry, what? -Don't apologize.

When you and Tegan said you missed me...

There's still time, you know, to find the perfect trio.

You're better than this, Sasha.

She's exaggerating.

McKenna,

I think you'd have more friends if you weren't so mean.

No, no. McKenna, take a lap. Yeah?

[♪ upbeat pop music playing]

Tegan.

That was like watching a-- a puppy fight a dragon.

It was-- it was adorable.

-Hi. -What do you want?

Okay, picture me shape-shifting into somebody

who just wants to talk.

For like one minute. Please?

Fine.

[indistinct chatter]

Was that bad? I feel like that was really bad.

This is a very fun new side of you. [chuckles]

Okay. Talk.

I overstepped today.

In a huge way.

[scoffs] We're in agreement.

The whole thing about mentioning your mom, I...

I didn't exactly have the best example

of how to handle big feelings growing up, so I...

Sometimes I...

I take a cheap shot when something matters to me.

Okay, I-- I get that.

[hesitates] I can't stop thinking about what we saw

at the hybrid lady's place.

And when I can't stop thinking about something, then I...

I usually get stupid. Or reckless, or...

Or both.

Relatable. Keep going.

The only reason that I followed you today was because I...

I had a sense you were gonna do something...

-something stupid. -[♪ gentle music playing]

-Or reckless. Or both. Right. -[Jake chuckles]

And then I saw you walk

into a literal vampire den, so...

I don't need a bodyguard.

That's starting to become very clear.

Hey, I'm... I'm sorry. I won't...

I won't keep trailing you if you don't want me around.

Jake, um, I know I can be a little prickly.

[chuckles]

But to be honest with you, I'm sorry too.

And I do kind of want you around because...

[♪ tense instrumental music playing]

[hesitates]

I have to go. I'm sorry.

Wait-- You're gonna need to finish that sentence.

-I'm sorry. -[scoffs] No, uh, Briar! Briar!

[water trickling]

-It's pouring. Come in. Come in. -[♪ music concludes]

[♪ upbeat instrumental music playing in distance]

Wow, being followed by everybody today.

I don't know whether to be flattered

or file a restraining order.

I'm here to return this.

You dropped it when you escaped out that window.

[♪ light mysterious music playing]

[Ollie] I could never hurt you, Briar.

-Ever. -[♪ music fades]

[♪ soft sentimental music playing]

[Briar] It's not glowing.

Um, what... what does that mean?

It means I believe you.

Oh, good, um...

because I've been thinking

and I know where you can find some answers about your mum.

But you can't just believe me, you have to trust me too.

Your... your forehead. Mr. Cole, it's bleeding.

Oh, uh...

Must have bumped my head.
