The Sabbat of Yule was finally over, they're preparing for the weddings. Iris may have jinxed them on the vampires, while Marielle and Alisa are shopping for their dresses, Marielle runs into Sarah, but Sarah wasn't alone this time, she was with someone else, it was someone she recently turned, a missing girl from Danvers. Marielle asks her why she is still in Massachusetts? Sarah explains that it's where she was born, that she won't leave. Marielle demands to know why she turned that girl, Sarah tells her that the girl is a relative and that she sought her out, she turned her because that's what she wanted. Marielle asks her, "if she is a relative, why didn't you send her home, her family is looking for her?" Sarah says, "she's my sister, she is running away like I did from bad people. Now she's stronger, should they find her, I pity them." Marielle tells her not to hurt innocent people, Sarah yells, "haven't you been listening, you self righteous and sanctimonious bitch, those people, our parents, they're the true evil." Marielle, takes her by the hand and suddenly she sees what happened to her and her little sister. It turns out that their uncle and grandfather was abusing them. Marielle apologises to Sarah and her sister, she tells them not to seek vengeance physically but to torture them mentally and they should report them to the police. Sarah says, "they have me as dead, Lenora as missing, presumed dead. How can we report them to the police?" Marielle makes Lenora a daylight ring, so that she can go and report the incidents to the police. Sarah thinks it's a great idea. It means that no blood is on their hands. Sarah hugs Marielle and thanks her. Marielle says that she'll help the girls out for as long as possible. Sarah doesn't feed from humans anymore, she feeds from donated blood, she has taught her sister the same. It would keep them both safe, off other witches radars. Marielle and Sarah swap numbers, Sarah keeps Marielle up to date with any police investigation. Lenora is the only one that can go and give evidence, Lenora kept a diary, there was a video recording of the assaults on her, filmed by friends of her grandfather. The girls promise they won't seek a bloody revenge. Marielle tells Iris of the case, who looks into it and believes that Marielle has done the right thing. Some people don't, but there's other young women and girls that still live in that family, something had to be done. The covens agree that on this occasion it was right, but to steer clear of vampire business. Marielle says, "I'll remain telephone friends with the girls, this way we can all keep an eye on them?" The covens agree. They do say that if one human is harmed they'll hunt them down, but Marielle tells them, that they're not the only vampires in the country. They're not, but those vampires are close to home and they can create more on a whim. Marielle doesn't think Sarah wants to drag anymore innocents into her world, she's happy to have her little sister, they finally have some semblance of a normal life. Marielle and Alisa find their perfect dresses, they hide them away from everyone, not even the families are allowed to see them before their big days.

Imbloc is soon upon them, they rush around making last minute preparations, they make sure all the bridesmaids and groomsmen and Lydia's family is ready. They don't know that Alisa is a witch, well not in the sense they believed, they thought that it was just new age mumbo jumbo, they're in for a huge surprise on their wedding day. The ceremonies are separate, the celebration is a collective one. Lydias family are shocked at how the ceremony was conducted, it wasn't something they had seen before, they were mesmerised. They do come from Salem and know that witches live there, they just didn't believe in them. Marc and Marielle make their vows, they look into the eyes of the guests, their eyes changed, they shone a bright light and burst above them at the altar. James is mesmerised, Celeste who was supposed to be at her sisters wedding, couldn't pull herself away from James, they make a date for their wedding, it'll be on the Sabbat of Ostara. The guests begin to arrive from Alisa's and Lydia's wedding, the grounds of Iris's home is decorated from the gate to the barn, there's enough food to feed the entire town of Salem, the music is from the mixture of Marc and Lydia's collection, they happen to enjoy similar music, it fitted perfect for the day. Alisa and Lydia pose for pictures with her family, Marielle and Marc pose for pictures with theirs. Lydia's family believes the ceremony and the celebrations is weird but they do join in. Alisa and Lydia looked beautiful and they truly looked like they are in love, Marielle tells Marc that it's beautiful to see. Marielle looks beautiful Celeste tells her that she looks exactly like her mother, as soon as she says it, Marielle's mom appears, it was Celeste's gift to her. Marc and Marielle spend a few hours with Marianne, he tells Marielle, now I see where you get your looks from. Marianne tells Marielle that Marc is a wonderful guy, he's humble and down to earth and he'll keep you on the right path. Marianne asks to spend time alone with James before she goes back, Celeste says, "of course, I brought her back for you all. It's her baby girls wedding day, she should be here, she doesn't have much time left, go now, sweetie. I love you." James kisses Celeste and goes to Marianne and she says, "so, you're a believer now, huh? You're even practising witchcraft? I'm proud of you James. Oh and Marc is right, don't insult my son in law again. Once your deployment is finished, you and that beautiful woman you're marrying should move to Salem. However don't move next door, there's plenty of other places to live. Living next door to in laws are hell James. Remember when I had to live next door to your parents in England. Your mom was an interfering old busy body. Always critical of my motherhood." Marianne tells James, tell Celeste thank you, I must go and say goodbye to my daughter and our son in law. James kisses his ex wife on the cheek and says his goodbyes. Marianne grabs her daughter and Marc and hugs them tightly, telling them both to look out for each other. They hug her and she goes inside and disappears. The brides have their first dance, they each dance with their fathers, then they dance with each other. Then the rest of the guests join them on the dance floor. They have an amazing night. James tells everyone that he and Celeste will marry at Ostara, the guests clap and congratulate them.
