Crystal (The Secret Circle)

The Circle members are looking for the rest of the crystals that Blackwell (Joe Lando) told them about. While Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) and Melissa (Jessica Parker Kennedy) are looking for Faye's family crystal, they find Dawn's (Natasha Henstridge) journal from when she was a teenager. Reading it, they find out that there was something between Dawn and Blackwell.

Diana (Shelley Hennig) is trying to have a day away from the Circle and being with Grant (Tim Phillipps) but with the Circle searching for the crystals that's not easy. Melissa and Adam (Thomas Dekker) need her help to find Melissa's family crystal and she ends up leaving Grant alone all the time. Grant, realizing that she is hiding something, he demands to know what that is but Diana is not telling him.

Jake (Chris Zylka), Cassie (Britt Robertson) and Faye, team up later and go to Jake's grandfather, Royce (John De Lancie) house to find Jake's family crystal. When they get there, they discover different theories of events that happened sixteen years ago. Royce finds them looking in his stuff and when he realizes who they are he tells them many things about Blackwell.

Sixteen years ago, Blackwell wanted to make a dark Circle with members that have only black magic. To manage to do that, he had to have children with dark magic and that's what he was trying to do with the adult's Circle. He wanted to create kids. The three of them don't believe that this is true, but with what Faye read on her mother's journal and with Jake admitting that Isaac told him a while ago that Cassie was not the only Blackwell child in the Circle, Faye starts to believe that she is Blackwell's daughter.

Jake asks his grandfather for the crystal but Royce refuses to give it to him saying that he hid it well in a mine that no person with dark magic can get. Callum (Michael Graziadei), who was trying to reach Melissa and Faye knowing that they are witches, followed the three of them to Royce's house, he breaks in and steals the map of the mine where the crystal is hidden.

Cassie informs Adam about the mine and he and Melissa go there to find the crystal before Callum. They manage to find it but on their way out, Callum stops them and takes the crystal. Jake, Cassie and Faye get back from Royce's house and along with Diana get to the mine in time to stop Callum and take the crystal back. Jake marks Callum with a spell and tells him to leave Chance Harbor and never come back. If he does, they won't let him leave the next time.

In the meantime, Jane (Ashley Crow) promised Cassie that she'll give a second chance to Blackwell only for her, but what Jane really does is to team up with Charles (Gale Harold) so they can kill Blackwell. With a spell and a crystal, they manage to capture Blackwell, but when Charles is trying to kill him, he kills Jane because Blackwell exchange the vessel that was meant for him with Jane's blood. Blackwell leaves the house telling Charles that the only reason he is not killing him is because he still needs him for his plans.

The episode ends with Diana and Cassie talking and Diana telling Cassie that she needs a break from the Circle because it messes up her personal life. During their conversation it's revealed that Diana is the second Blackwell child in the Circle.
