[Ms. Graves] Ladies! [sighs]

I'm sure you're wondering why the head of warlocks

is here visiting you before your exams tomorrow.

-Were you wondering that? -I was not wondering that, no.

It's tradition to have the longest-standing

faculty member here at Crescent Vale

provide some words of wisdom before your exam.

There are two essential elements

-that power all magic. -[♪ pensive music playing]

Uh, first, there are

-the ley lines. -[cell phone buzzes]

[Mr. Kittredge] Ancient currents of magic

that we all draw our powers from.

The ley lines, they, uh…

they connect all the coven academies

-and cities across the globe. -[♪ music rises]

Second, your covens.

Uh, each of you were born with a singular ability.

But together, your powers are magnified beyond anything

-that you can possibly imagine. [chuckles] -[♪ music softens]

Love being warlock-splained right before finals.

[Ms. Graves] Thank you, Mr. Kittredge.

I'd kind of burn to death if the curtains were open, so…

Does it ever just hit you that you're a vampire,

and I'm a witch, and this is all real life?

Only every second of every day.

A month ago, I was DJing on the pier back home…

-[scoffs] You do not DJ. -[Ollie] I do.

I did.

A month ago, I was skipping school

to get a sausage and mushroom slice from Joe's.

They played the worst music, but…

I would, like, kill to hear

that terrible generic Italian music again.

Pizza sounds good.

Actually, any food sounds good.

Liquid diet, huh?

Uh, not from humans. Never from humans.

I drink cow's blood now.

Straight from the butcher. It's as awful as it sounds.

You said you had something for me?

A bunch of… [sighs]

…my old stuff that might be useful.

-[♪ ominous music sting] -[screams]

[chuckles] If I were a vampire, you'd be dead.

Not true! If you were a vampire, you'd be burning to a crisp

-in the sunlight. -Hey, somebody cracked a book.

I told you, I'm all in on witch school.

-[♪ "Greenlight" continues] -Although, I don't remember

real estate listings being on our study list.

Are you looking to buy a house in the Garden District?

From Tamora Tomlinson?

Okay, I was looking through some of Tamora's things,

and apparently, selling houses was her day job.

-So many questions. -Right?

Like, how is Tamora a real estate agent

if I've never seen her face on a bus bench?

-[chuckles] -[Sasha] No, like,

how did you get all of her stuff?

To be totally honest with you, I saw Ollie,

but only to get into his aunt's house

and see if I could find any clues.

I told him I wouldn't be seeing him anymore.

[sighs] I know you're into him, but this is the right call.

And thank you for being honest with me.

Seriously.

Yeah, always.

Find anything interesting?

This is like a really sad yard sale.

Yeah, that pot holder's about as interesting as it gets.

[Tegan chuckles]

[♪ intriguing music overlapping]

Maybe not.

[Briar] Don't bother. The mirror's broken.

It's not a normal mirror.

[chuckles] It's a scrying mirror.

[Tegan] Wait, don't tell me.

A spellbound mirror that witches use

to hold their memories?

The owner's face unlocks the past.

[♪ music rises]

[school bell ringing]

-[♪ music fades] -[indistinct chatter]

-Hi again. -Look who's following me now.

[clears throat] Or are you here to finish our conversation?

-[Briar] What conversation? -[Jake] Just a little something

at Hex Fest about how you're sorry

you can be prickly, but you like having me around.

Mm, only when your shirt stays on.

[chuckles] I didn't hear you complaining about my arms.

Ignoring that. I need your help.

-Go ask your vampire boyfriend. -A, he is not my boyfriend,

and B, how do you even know about him?

Because I know things.

Brooklyn, he's a fledgling. He was just turned.

Okay, whatever a fledgling is, it doesn't matter.

He's different.

He wouldn't hurt me.

Do you know how hungry he is right now?

And do you know how dinner-shaped you are?

You don't think I can handle myself.

[Jake] I never said that.

But you are here asking for my help.

-[♪ pensive music playing] -Why?

'Cause I can't shapeshift. You can.

Shapeshifting's pretty advanced magic.

We don't start officially learning that until senior year.

You saying you can't do it?

Well, I didn't say that exactly.

-[♪ music rises] -This is Tamora's.

Her face is the key, but unfortunately,

she's kind of offline at the moment.

If I can get inside here,

it'll help me figure out who killed her.

I just need Tamora's face, or a pretty good copy of it.

I thought you were focused on your big test tomorrow.

I can focus on two things at once.

It's called multitasking.

-[inhales deeply, sighs] -[♪ music fades]

"On my visage, do replace. Paint another's on my face."

-[voice echoes eerily] -[magical rumbling]

[♪ tense music playing]

-[grunts] -[♪ music fades]

[soft footsteps approaching]

[Peter] Shapeshifting, eh?

Yeah, I'm just…

just trying to level up.

Shapeshifting takes years of training, Jake.

Without a dark grimoire,

there's no way to speed up the process.

A dark grimoire? S…

-Do you mean dark magic? -It's a forbidden art.

It's the least understood, it's… [inhales sharply]

…it's the most powerful form of magic there is.

You say that like someone who's tried it.

[Peter] Tell me, Jake.

What do you know about dark magic?

I don't know. Just what people say.

It gives you a rush. It's totally addictive.

Darkens your soul.

-Well-- -[Jake] Basically,

it could kill you, and you shouldn't go near it.

Don't believe everything they tell you. [sighs]

Are you saying you've used it?

As a historian of all things magic,

-I have dabbled. -[♪ low brooding music playing]

With proper guidance, it can be controlled.

This proper guidance…

you wouldn't happen to know anyone who could…

who could provide that?

Yeah.

Yeah, I may.

But it would have to stay between us.

-Look, if you're afraid-- -No, I'm not afraid.

Good.

Come back here tomorrow at 2:00 and arrive with an open mind.

-[Jake] Mr. Cole, I… -[♪ music rises]

Why are you helping me?

Because when I see you, I see an utter waste of talent.

Don't take it the wrong way. I was just like you.

Yeah, I doubt that.

I grew up without a father too.

It's not easy.

See you at 2:00.

Vampires can fly.

Well, not me. Not yet. I'm, like, flying adjacent.

I know you didn't wanna see me again.

It's not a question of "want," I…

Anyway, I can't have a conversation

with a guy sitting on my ledge.

Well, in that case, can you invite me in?

Right. Vampire 101.

Uh, you are cordially invited into my room.

But I reserve the right to change my mind.

[Briar chuckles] Are you about to DJ?

Something like that. [exhales, clears throat]

[♪ romantic Italian song playing over speaker]

My name is Ollie.

What are you doing?

I'm, uh… pretending this was a month ago.

-And we're just meeting. -[lighter clicks]

[♪ vocalist singing in Italian over speaker]

[Ollie] Um…

excuse me, is that, uh, seat taken?

[chuckles] No, pull up a floor.

[grunts, inhales sharply]

[softly] Uh…

This is cute.

-You're cute. -Am I?

You know you're cute.

I have… [sighs] …10,000 insecurities.

-Tell me two. -[Ollie] Just two?

-Mm-hmm. -[Ollie] That's easy.

I hate my ears, and…

I'm a huge disappointment to my dad.

Okay. Let's unpack the dad thing.

-That sounds deep. -Deep doesn't scare you?

Deep is the only reason to be alive.

He was tough. Giant expectations for me.

Uh, didn't amount to much himself, but…

[inhales deeply]

…I just wanted to impress him.

Be the man he could never be.

That sounds like a lot to carry.

[Ollie] Do you ever…

miss something that you didn't really

like that much to begin with?

Hmm, I had a vendetta against the rats of Brooklyn,

but, you know, they felt like home.

I bet plenty of guys tried to protect you from the rats.

[chuckles] They tried. But I usually ghosted them.

Never saw a guy twice.

[Ollie hesitates] So, as soon as you get close, you run.

Forget running.

I've…

I've never let a guy get this close before.

[♪ vocalist continues singing in Italian]

Are we still pretending right now?

[Briar] Honestly…

the more time I spend with you,

the less I feel like I'm pretending.

Yeah, same.

[exhales softly]

I really like your ears.

Jury's out on your dad.

Is it okay if we stop talking right now?

[♪ vocalist continues singing in Italian]

[♪ song continues faintly in the distance]

[indistinct chatter]

Briar, brought you some coffee.

Lots of sugar. [chuckles] Of course.

Briar?
