Maggie Vera : I think I'm getting my powers back. Or a more advanced version of them.
Mel Vera : How? How did you do it?
Maggie Vera : I don't know. Something happened with Jordan. I shook his hand, and in my head, I had this... vision. I knew what he was thinking or feeling. He looked me right in the eyes and said "I love you." I think I need to go back and figure out a way to touch him again.
Mel Vera : Margarita Emilia Vera.
Maggie Vera : It's not what you think.
Mel Vera : I think you like touching him.
Maggie Vera : To get my powers back.
Mel Vera : Maggie, you better not be falling for this guy.
Maggie Vera : You always treat me like I'm some lovesick puppy.
Mel Vera : One word: Parker.
Maggie Vera : Another word: Niko.
Mel Vera : Exactly. We need to keep our distance from everyone. Otherwise, we end up nearly killing the ones we love or they end up nearly killing us.
Maggie Vera : You know, I'm getting my powers back, and I thought you would be happy.
Mel Vera : I am. Powers are good. Powers are something we need.
Maggie Vera : And if Jordan is the key to getting mine back, I have to figure that out.
-
Mel Vera : Are you sure she went this way?
Macy Vaughn : I'm not sure of anything, except that we'd better keep moving.
Mel Vera : When we find this woman, the first thing we do is serve her up for dinner.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Well, you'll be happy to know I'm 100% delicious. Like this apple.
Macy Vaughn : [slapping it out of her hand] What kind of game are you...
[hearing the Kyon snarling]
Macy Vaughn : ...playing?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : This is not a game. You cowards wanted to go back, I wanted to go forward. And I was right. Look.
Mel Vera : [seeing a puddle of green goo] This is the assassin's poison.
Macy Vaughn : He was here.
Mel Vera : Or maybe she planted it.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Oh, bloody hell.
Mel Vera : You used this to kill those innocent witches in Vermont. Maybe you brought it here, too.
-
Macy Vaughn : Is this it? Are we on the right track?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Okay, the woods... that sign. We're in the right place. The truck was headed this way. You know, you should take off my cuff. If we get into trouble, I don't think little miss fanny pack is gonna be much help.
Mel Vera : Can we get another cuff that disables her mouth?
-
Macy Vaughn : What the hell was that thing?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : A Kyon... or Skincrawler. Blind, like ants. They hunt by sensing sound and movement. They normally keep to themselves, far away from humans.
Mel Vera : She set us up. Again.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Oh, stuff it, Potion Princess. I'd never knowingly wander near Kyons. They're vicious hunters, the velociraptors of the magical world.
Macy Vaughn : [hearing it roar] Why does it keep doing that?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : It's hungry, I think.
Macy Vaughn : And what does our friend eat?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Whatever's slowest.
[indicating Mel]
Macy Vaughn : Probably her.
-
Macy Vaughn : It's all in there?
Mel Vera : Yes. My little bag here has every potion I've recreated from the Book of Shadows, some of which work... ish. What if she made it all up? The truck, Montana? What if it's a trap?
Macy Vaughn : A very real possibility, which is why... dimitte ex carcere...
[the spell containing Abigael is removed]
Macy Vaughn : ...I'm taking her with me.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Smart girl.
Macy Vaughn : You bet I am.
[putting a bracelet on her wrist]
Macy Vaughn : You come, no powers. And if anything goes sideways, well... that'll be one less demon in the world.
Mel Vera : I'm going, too.
Macy Vaughn : Mel...
Mel Vera : I'm not gonna let you go out there alone, with this double-crossing demon. You need backup.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : [sarcastic] Oh, I feel so much safer.
Macy Vaughn : All right. Colstrip, Montana, here we come.
-
Mel Vera : Pull out the marble, Macy. Let's go home.
Macy Vaughn : No. If the assassin took her here, then there's a Kyon enclave nearby, which means we're close to something.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Maybe he's using them as some sort of army of minions. Take off my cuff and I'll help you kill the Kyon.
Mel Vera : Or feed us to it. Macy, we need to go home.
Macy Vaughn : We'll go back and regroup. Come back with Harry and a plan.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Okay, let me put this another way.
Mel Vera : [she runs off in the direction of the Kyon's noises] Oh, no, you don't.
-
Mel Vera : This will point the way to the Kyon queen.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : [waiting for something to happen] Well, this is exciting.
Mel Vera : I followed the directions exactly as I remember from the Book of Shadows.
Macy Vaughn : Maybe you're missing an ingredient.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Or maybe you just suck at this.
Mel Vera : Or maybe the antler doesn't have enough life force. The Kyon is dead, and the potion requires a living agent.
Macy Vaughn : A host.
Maggie Vera : Meaning?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Someone has to drink it.
Mel Vera : Suck this, Abby.
Macy Vaughn : Mel.
Maggie Vera : Mel!
Macy Vaughn : Don't!
Maggie Vera : No!
Maggie Vera : [as Mel drinks it, she begins to feel its effects] Oh, my god, what's happening to her?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : It's working. She's connected to them.
-
Maggie Vera : Wait, she's Parker's half-sister? Does she know where he is?
Mel Vera : I don't know what she knows, and frankly, I don't care. We need Harry's compass for the potion.
Maggie Vera : He was my boyfriend, Mel. I-I'm entitled to ask her questions.
Mel Vera : Stay away from her, Mags. She is the devil. I would have vanquished her seven times over by now if I had any powers.
Maggie Vera : Mel...
Mel Vera : Don't "Mel" me. I had to put up with her treating me like I'm a piece of crap all day.
Maggie Vera : Well, ignore her, then.
Mel Vera : I can't.
Maggie Vera : Why?
Mel Vera : Because I think she's right. I went from being one of the most powerful witches in the world to this... Fanny Pack Franny.
[finding the compass]
Mel Vera : Here it is. All right. Let's do this.
-
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Our dear friend, the assassin, he was here.
Mel Vera : [seeing a dead animal] What the hell is that?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Wait. Don't go any closer.
[as she picks up a rock and tosses it over, a magical net swoops upward]
Macy Vaughn : That was bait for his trap.
Mel Vera : [picking something up] And he clearly caught something.
Macy Vaughn : Is that a piece of antler?
Mel Vera : Some Kyon's not happy right now.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Not just any Kyon. See these markings? He took their queen.
[hearing the Kyon roaring]
Abigael Jameson-Caine : And now, I think it's time to go.
-
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Well, well done. Whatever our friend is up to, at least he doesn't have creatures to do it with. Thanks to you, Mel. I underestimated you.
Mel Vera : Yes, you did. Alligatum est.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : [getting magic dust blown in her face] You've got to be kidding me.
Maggie Vera : [leaving with Mel as Abigael pounds on the restraining barrier] She doesn't kid.
-
Macy Vaughn : If you're really part of the Caine dynasty, what's with the accent?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : I grew up with my mother in Sussex. I despised my father. In my family, if you weren't a boy, you were nothing.
Macy Vaughn : I'm sorry.
Mel Vera : Sorry? Do you know how many innocent witches he and she killed?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Probably no more than the innocent demons your people killed. All hunters are heroes until the lioness tells her side of the story.
-
Abigael Jameson-Caine : [being led into the manor] I save you from the maw of a Kyon, and my reward is the cuff and the blindfold?
Macy Vaughn : [taking the blindfold off] Well, we couldn't let you see how we got here.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Ooh. 19th-century Victorian chandelier. And that side table's sublime. Not my aesthetic, but could be worse.
Mel Vera : [sarcastic] And I was so worried you wouldn't approve.
-
Macy Vaughn : You said Kyons communicate through pheromones, like ants?
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Yes, that's right.
Macy Vaughn : We have the queen's antler, maybe we could commandeer the pheromones, use them in a tracking potion.
Mel Vera : To help us find the queen.
Macy Vaughn : Find the queen, find the assassin.
Mel Vera : [opening her fanny pack] Okay, let's see what I've got.
Abigael Jameson-Caine : Another potion, really?
Mel Vera : Oh, shove it, demon spawn.
-
Mel Vera : Harry?
[seeing him in the parlor]
Maggie Vera : I'm so glad you're okay. Where's Macy?
Harry Greenwood : What do you mean? She's not with you?
Maggie Vera : What? We... we saw her leave with you. Unless...
Mel Vera : Oh, my god.
Harry Greenwood : It wasn't me. It was him. My Darklighter.
-
Maggie Vera : That was crazy.
Mel Vera : What?
Maggie Vera : The tracking potion? Drinking it without knowing what it would do. You could have gotten yourself killed, Mel.
Mel Vera : I'm sorry. It was... stupid.
Maggie Vera : But it was also incredibly brave.
