Marielle is back home, she has more contact with her dad, than she did previously, however that's because of Celeste, she makes sure he keeps in contact with her. Marielle passes her driving test, Iris has a spare car in garage, it belonged to Agnes, but she would use it instead, Marielle can use hers. Marielle picks Alisa up for school, she gives her the crystals from the shop, she thanks her and puts them in her bag, instead of taking the bus. Alisa is happy to see her, Marielle tells her about spending time with her big sister who's now dating her dad, Alisa can't believe it. Alisa was with her boyfriend all weekend and forgot to FaceTime her. Alisa asks to be filled in all the gory details, of course there wasn't much to tell in that department, but she discovered that her sister is a witch too, Alisa tells her that like her, her sister says, "Celeste has forsaken the craft, like me. What happened out there?" Marielle tells her that she helped her with her spirit guide and she moved a rock with her mind. Alisa asks, "so, you mean to tell me, that my sister is going to embrace her nature?" Marielle tells her she doesn't know, but she's a skilled witch. Alisa says, "wow, I hope she doesn't completely embrace it, that would mean she would have to move home, that's moms orders." Marielle tells her "she's a grown woman, shouldn't it be up to her?" Alisa says, "that's not how it works in our family coven, I must inform mom of this?" Marielle asks her not to until one of them speak to Celeste. Alisa tells her she will call her later. They head to school, Marc is waiting at the gate. He asks Marielle for a moment of her time? Marielle tells Alisa to go ahead without her, she will catch her up. Marc asks her how her trip went with her dad and that he's missed her. Marielle gives him the journal, he thanks her and says you really shouldn't have. Marielle explains she had a fantastic time and asks Marc out on a date, he says "sure, where would you like to go?" Marielle tells him to choose, he says they should go to the movies after she finishes work on Saturday then a party so he can introduce him to his friends. Marielle says, "I'd like that, shall I pick you up or will you pick me up?" He tells her that he'll pick her up after work. Marielle heads into school and enjoys her day.

After school Alisa has told her she spoke to her sister, that it's ok for me to tell mom. Marielle says, "as long as she's sure, it's her life after all." Alisa agrees and they drive home. Alisa asks her how it came to her knowledge that Celeste is a witch? Marielle tells her, "we went into the forest, we meditated, she showed me her power, then she helped me with mine and apparently I'm a seer?" Alisa says, "wow, you have the best gift, I don't know what mine is, I haven't tried to find out." Marielle suggests she should, Alisa says, "I don't know, maybe one day I'll find out what resides in me." Marielle says she hopes so. The girls drive home, she drops Alisa off and her mom is waiting at the door, she calls Marielle inside, she says "come in for a drink." While sitting in the kitchen, Alisa's mom asks, "how did you meet my daughter Celeste?" Marielle explains, she's dating her dad, they spent the entire weekend together. Alisa's mom says, "you've spent more time with her than I have in a very long time. I believe she's shown you her gift?" Marielle says, "she did, she helped me discover mine." She tells her that Celeste must now return to the coven, it's our family's way. Alisa's mom calls Celeste and Celeste tells her she'll be back when she's ready, not a moment before. Her mom tells her not to leave it too long or the coven might shun us all. Celeste says, "mom, you're a hypocrite, you haven't practiced in years." Celeste tells her mom to give her time, she'll eventually come home.

James declares his love for Celeste and she him. He asks her if this is too soon, she replies no, he also says one day I hope to marry you. Celeste tells him, she hopes that is the case. James is still unaware of Celeste's secret. Celeste will tell him eventually, the moment her mom called and asked her to come home, James questioned Celeste on why? Celeste tells him that her mom just wants to spend time with her, he tells her that once he gets another long weekend off, he says he'll come with her, he would like to meet her family? Celeste says it's a wonderful idea. Celeste calls Marielle asking her to try and expose her gift, that she and her father are becoming serious and she would like to not return to Salem on a permanent basis, if Alisa shows her gift then there'll be no need for her to come home. Marielle says she'll find a way for Alisa to show her gift.

Marielle invites Alisa over for a sleepover, Alisa asks if some of their other friends can come, but Marielle says she would have to ask permission from aunt Iris? Iris agrees but they all must stay upstairs and not to wonder to the basement, Marielle agrees. Marielle drives to Alisa's after work on Friday afternoon, she then picks up two of their other friends. They pick up Charlotte and Nikki, they're the closest of the bunch. Marielle and the girls sit most of the night talking about boys, Marielle is excited about her date with Marc on tomorrow night. The girls don't like him, Alisa does, but only she and Marielle know the truth of him. They spend the night watching movies and Nikki and Charlotte fall asleep first, then Marielle falls asleep, Alisa not so long after. While the girls are asleep Alisa wakes up, she goes downstairs, Marielle hears her, she follows her, she's heading straight for the basement. Marielle allows her, then she waits 10 minutes, she doesn't come back up, she follows her down, Alisa is sitting in the middle of the pentagram meditating, suddenly she shakes, then says out loud, "my guide is a Fox, my power is pyrokinesis." Marielle knows this is the power of conjuring fire. Her gift is now known to her. Marielle sneaks back up to bed, she acts like she is asleep, she hears Alisa coming back and she is soon fast asleep. Marielle calls Celeste the next day, telling her what happened, Celeste tells her that she'll call their mom. Marielle feels bad, but she adores Celeste and her father loves her. Celeste might not need to come home after all?
