*Evie's dress for the dance*

The next morning Evie is getting out of the shower when Diana and Cassie call her over to her twin's room. "Yes?" "We are going to try something. Want to help?" "Try what?" Diana then holds up her dress and all three girls smile before Evie walks into the room closing the door behind her. 

Diana then says to both girls "Okay, take that end. Uh, let's go white." the other two girls in the room give her a look and the older twin questions, "No? Red?" "Yes." "Good choice. Now this is a good use of our ancient gifts.", adds the blonde, both twins agree. The three then start to chant 'Stitch, threat and seem, change from blue to red.'. The dress suddenly catches fire and is automatically dropped to the floor, Cassie throws something over it to stop the fire and then she says, "That was me." 

Later that morning the three girls head over to the school. Cassie continues to apologize over what had happened with the dress, but Diana tells her, "Cassie, I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes spells just go wrong.", sticking her head forward from the back seat Evie says, "Plus, now she has an excuse to buy a new dress.", they all chuckle. 

The blonde, however, doesn't let it go, "Yeah, but we were doing circle magic, and then my dark magic took over. What if I'm never able to do a spell again without something bad happening?" "You don't know that." "It could have been a fluke." "Wish I believed that." 

As they exit the car Melissa comes up to them "Hey" "Hey, guys." "How's it going?", the twins say together, resulting in getting looks from the other two, they smile but continue with the conversation. 

Melissa says, "Actually, I was thinking I need some nice, normal school activities to throw myself into. Any chance you guys need help with the dance tonight?" "Yeah." "That'd be great. How's Holden?" "He went back to school. I'm really gonna miss him." 

"You're kidding. I was gonna ask him to the dance." all the girls give Diana a look and a light chuckle and she continues, "I guess I'm going solo." "I'm going alone, too." "Me three." 

Evie then looks at all of them and says, "We should all go together, make a girls night out of it. Or a girls night and Faye, if she wants to come." Melissa then speaks up, "I can't quite picture that, but I'm in." 

Diana sees how distracted the blonde is and asks "What is it?" "Probably nothing. I'll see you inside.", says Cassie before walking away. The remaining three girls look at each other and walk into the school. 

Inside Diana and Evie walk up to Faye who is struggling with her locker and Diana speaks up first, "Still haven't got the hang of it? We just wanted to tell you that the final setup for the dance starts at 3:00." "And you think I care why?" They both turn around to face her and giving a kind smile Evie says, "Because your mom sighed you up for the decoration committee."

At the end of the day Faye sees Lee waiting for her and he confronts her about the rest of the circle. 

Meanwhile, Adam and Cassie are asking for information about the blonde's father. They can't find anything except an address, 7 Briar Hill. When Cassie tells Adam this he takes her out of the office and they head over to the abandoned house where Adam shows Cassie that the address she had found was the one where they constantly meet at. 

They both then discuss how her father lived there. Adam tells her that some of the stuff that was left behind at the house was put into the basement. Both teens head there and Cassie decides to stay there but Adam tells her that he should pick her up for the fire and ice dance later that night. Cassie declines because it could hurt Diana, she then goes to explain to him that her friendship with the twins is really important to her. After Adam brings up the 'meant to be' discussion the blonde girl tells him that she doesn't want to think about it.
