Amy enters Tina's office, and Tina stands up. "Amy?"

Amy smiles, "Hi, mom."

"What is it?" Tina asked, "I'm not apologizing."

Amy shook her head, "And I'm not asking you to. I just wanted to see how you're doing with all these."

"As you can see," Tina gestures to her desk that was covered by papers, "I'm fine." Amy nodded, but then Tina sat down and said, "I just can't phantom the idea of having Merlyn back in my life; I mean, after all these years, he comes back. I never really knew him, you know?"

"Okay." Amy nods.

"That's why," Tina explained, "before marrying your father, I had to ensure he wouldn't leave. I just couldn't do that to my own kids; I couldn't allow them to grow up without a father."

Amy sits down and places her hands on Tina's, "Mom," exits out of Wizard, she enters a car, "I couldn't do it."

"What?!" Hana removed her dark-rimmed glasses and looked at Amy, "You got weak?" Hana turns to her youngest sister, "You're up."

Nico nodded, got out of the car, and entered the building. Five minutes later, Nico runs out crying. Hana immediately asked, "What happened?"

"She was crying," Nico cried, "I couldn't do it."

Hana exasperates, "Fine! I'll do it."

As soon as she entered, Hana saw Tina in tears at her desk. Hana cleared her throat, "I'm really sorry, mom, but I have to do this. I have to fulfill my promise for," she paused, "to save dad."

Tina looks up, shocked, "What?!"

Hana took a deep breath as she sat down and said, "Guita's cousin has been having visions of him telling them that if I don't resurrect Merlyn, dad will suffer." Hana looks up at her mother, "No one else knows but Dominic and me."

"Guita?" Tina questioned.

"Nope," Hana sighs, "Dominic went straight to me."

"God!" Tina threw her hands up in frustration, "I hate him! We're in a loose-loose situation, then? It's either I let my husband suffer or live knowing the person who made my life and my mother's life a living hell is alive and well!"

"Not exactly." Hana stood up, "The protection spell おばさん cast if I can manage to recast it, but on a bigger scale, I could trap him."

"Yeah," Tina's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, but it faded as soon as the realization hit her, "but that spell is too advanced, even for me."

"Well," Hana smirks, "thank God, we have two people who studied to be the next sorceress supreme." "What is it with this family and exploiting each other's weaknesses?!" Hana sarcastically asked, making Tina chuckle.

Tina dries her tears, "I don't know, but we do, do that quite often, don't we?"
