She talks to the dog, and tells it to behave better and go home. The dog does as told. She invites the children into her house to take care of Lori 's knee. The kitchen is full of vials and bottles containing various herbs, which leads Brandon to believe that Cassie is a witch. The new shop on Main Street is also filled with elixirs and herbs from around the world. This leads many townspeople, especially Martha Tisdale, to believe Cassie practices Black Magic.
