"THE FUCK, NO— BOY!" Magda ran first to him, then Agatha and Alice, but as they reached him...

Agatha froze while Mags and Alice help him up.

"Hey," he groans in pain, "I got attacked by the curse. Does that mean I'm part of the coven? Blessings and burdens alike."

"Not a lot of blessings with this group," Lilia told him.

"Is he okay?" Jen asked from across the room in her circle.

Agatha scoffs walking over, "so what? You live in that circle now?"

"Maybe."

"Are you bleeding? Did you get cut?" Magda asked helping him stand.

Alice ushers the teens to walk out as she makes sure he's okay, "you look okay, are you okay?"

"I'm okay, I think," Billy nods.

"What's the plan, Agatha?" Rio urges.

Magda helped him keep steady as Alice stopped and stared at the instruments in thought.

"You're right," Agatha realized, "that's the solution."

"No, it's not," Alice rushes over.

The teens look over at them, "what?"

"We have to play Lorna's Ballad," Agatha explains.

Alice immediately refuses, "I'm not playing that song!"

Agatha dramatically gestures to the instruments, "all signs point to a jam session."

"What good will it do?"

"It could open the next way out," Mags says gently, trying to comfort the panicked woman.

"The Ballad opens the Road we did that, we're here," Alice quickly explains.

"Lorna's version is different, though," Billy states.

"Okay, have you heard this song?" Magda asked looking behind her at her uncle who shrugs, "me either."

"What did Lorna want from the Road?" The Purple Witch inquiries.

"I-I-" Alice couldn't say it.

"What was her intention?"

"To save her daughter."

They look at Rio who sits at the drumset.

Agatha's gaze moved to the Protection Witch as she walked over, "you should have burnt to a crisp years ago but here you are," she almost sounded... Envious maybe? "Sullen and aimless, but alive. That's because at any given moment somewhere, someone is playing that song that you hate so much. Lorna's Ballad is a protection spell. It protected... You."

The demon screeches for attention.

As they all gasp looking around for it as Magda steps back staring straight at it.
