This episode opens with Nick getting Melissa up from bed to go to school. She claims she has a headache and Nick tries to wake her up. She throws him off him and apologizes but she doesn't feel well. She turns and we see the snake demon under her skin. ICK!
Cassie and her Grandmother talk about what happened the night before when Heather got hit by the car. Grandma tells Cassie that Heather and Amelia were good friends growing up. Cassie evades any questions about the night before, but reveals she was with Faye and Diana. Grandma is happy Cassie is making friends. She tells Cassie that she can open up to her about anything and Cassie just leaves. RUDE!
At school, Melissa is twitchy and doesn't understand why. Diana and Cassie talk about the previous Circle being spell bound from the 'Elders' so she doesn't want Cassie talking to her Grandmother about their Circle.
In Dawn's office she talks to Charles about Heather. They make plans to meet that night under the Blood Moon so they can attempt to get their powers back to protect the kids.
In the hallway, Diana informs Faye that their parents are dating, she is not pleased.
Melissa is at her locker and does a flip out against them. (We can assume possession?) Nick helps demon-Melissa up and she tells him that she needs his help digging up her family's Book of Shadows in the woods. She says it will be their secret. Later that night, Nick digs up a suitcase under Melissa's supervision.
At dinner, Cassie and Grandma are having awkward conversations. They find Amelia to be a common ground. Cassie asks why Amelia left and Grandma says that she was never honest with her and she wishes she could have helped. Cassie gets a text and rushes out on dinner.
At the witch house, Faye arrives after Melissa calls her there. Nick is confused because he thought it was supposed to be their secret. Melissa reveals she was using Nick to dig up the case so that Faye and her can share the book. Demon-Melissa is awkwardly sensual with Faye and tells her that nothing can come between them.
At the docks, Dawn and Charles cast a spell under the Blood Moon to gain power back in their crystals. They are unsuccessful.
At Diana's house, Adam and her share a home cooked meal. A whipped cream fight ensues and soon enough they are in the bedroom. Oh-lala!
Cassie arrives at the house and Demon-Mel informs them that they need the whole circle to get the case open. Cassie wants to open it and Demon-Mel goes all deep voice and creepy. Cassie calls Adam and Diana to see where they are. The suitcase is moving on its own and Cassie asks what is in the suitcase. They see the snake-demon inside Melissa's head. Faye, Nick, and Cassie figure out that the demon i
