==Summary==
Henry flies closer to Ben on the trestle. Ben calls over to Henry that he can't stop him from doing what he's doing. Bjorn spots Henry 'disregarding his orders' and his anger explodes. He shouts at Henry to get out of there. He then flies into the air toward the railroad trestle. Bjorn slams himself into Ben Lasky, who hits the ground. The two smallest golems are close behind Bjorn. 
Sammie tells Henry to land on the trestle so they can try and talk to Ben and convince him to stop. As they land, Henry shoots two fireballs at the last remaining golems. They both explode into tiny bits. 
Bjorn threatens Ben Lasky, holding a gun to the boy's head. He tells Ben to stop doing what he's doing or he'll shoot. Ben isn't phased and tells Bjorn to look behind him. The possessed body of Guy Hackett is standing on the edge of the trestle, heels over the edge, with a knife held to his own throat. The voice of the dybbuk begins to taunt Bjorn, asking who he's going to choose - the boy or the man. Ben says that his last command to the dybbuk is that if he dies, the dybbuk will kill Guy.
Sammie notices that Ben is surrounded by a green magical aura, he is radiating with rift magic. Bjorn realizes that Ben must be a powerful warlock that has been using magic for a long time. Bjorn is filled with a righteous rage and is close to pulling the trigger and ending Ben before Sammie yells for him to lay off the kid. Bjorn backs up from Ben, saying he is just trying to stop an innocent man from dying. 
Calling Guy innocent sets Ben off. He starts yelling about how he was being abused and that he told Nick, the man who runs the community center, but he didn't listen. Ben's eyes flash green and the knife Guy is holding digs further into his neck, a bead of blood running down his skin. He asks them why he shouldn't destroy the life of a man who's destroyed his. 
Sammie puts her hands up in a pacifying gesture. She tells him that she grew up here too, she's stuck in this town too with an abusive, drunk dad, but this is not how to deal with it. Ben asks if she could make her dad pay, would she. Sammie says she would, but not like this. She admits that she would love to make him suffer sometimes, but the best way to make his dad pay is to be better than him and pretend like he never existed. 
This seems to get to Ben. He starts to cry and green aura around him shimmers. Ben tells the dybbuk to let Guy go. Guy drops the knife and steps on the trestle before frowning at Ben and taunting him. Ben commands the dybbuk to let Guy go. The creature leaves Guy's body and Guy falls to the ground. The wispy form is grimacing at them. Ben uses his magic to form a huge, swirling green portal. Ben seems unsure and looks to Sammie for approval, Sammie tells him to do it. Ben commands the dybbuk into the portal. It moves toward the portal before turning around looking at Bjorn and Henry. It taunts them, saying "until next time, Dragon Knights." It then looks at Sammie and says it finally figured out what she is, calling her a "witch child" and saying she's in trouble before disappearing into the portal. The portal winks out of existence. 
Bjorn, shocked, asks Sammie if she knows what a witch child is. Sammie denies it. Bjorn isn't sure if she's telling the truth or not. He says they'll talk about it later and turns his attention to Ben. He asks Ben how he's able to do magic. Ben has fallen to his knees, looking defeated. He admits he started using magic a few years ago, that he learned it from a book. Then he got more books and taught himself. 
Bjorn contemplates turning Ben over to the Council. He knows the Council would not be lenient with him, thinking back on the history of Dragon Knights when a group of Dragon Knights started turning humans into Dragon Knights. The Council then killed every man, woman, and child associated with the group of Dragon Knights who were turning humans. Bjorn tells Ben that he can't stop him from doing this again due to the corruptive nature of rift magic. He tells him he doesn't want to turn him over to the Council though because he won't get the second chance he deserves. He asks if Ben can stop using the magic on his own, but Ben doesn't think he can. He describes the addictive nature of rift magic to them. 
Bjorn decides to take Ben back to the Fort with them. He calls Stanley and Miguel to ask about where they might be able to hold Ben. Miguel is against "bringing the warlock to the secret base," but Stanley is able to convince him. They agree to bringing Ben to the Fort. Before leaving, Bjorn goes to Guy and asks him if he's alright. Guy replies that he is and Bjorn punches him in the face. Ben smiles. Bjorn attempts to mind wipe him and thinks he's successful. 
Sammie says she's going to go home and Bjorn tries to convince her to go with them to the Fort. Sammie insists she'll be fine at home. Bjorn says that he really needs to talk to her about what just happened and he'll be paying her a visit soon. Bjorn, Henry, and Ben take a boat back over to the Fort. 
Once Sammie gets home, her phone buzzes with a text from Elise asking to meet her on the roof. Sammie asks if it can wait till morning, but Elise insists it can't. Sammie heads up to the roof, but doesn't see anyone. She calls out for Elise. Suddenly, someone appears in front of Sammie. A woman has pulled her hood down and becomes visible. She apologizes for borrowing Elise's phone and says she needed to talk to her. She tells Sammie that she is her mom. 
Helena tells Sammie that she doesn't have much time. She says that she was also a young, angry girl from an abusive family and she thought her way out of it was to learn magic. She explains the more you use magic, the more corrupting and seductive it is. She says she had a whirlwind romance with Sammie's father before getting pregnant, that her father didn't know anything about the magic. Helena continues to explain that when someone uses magic and then has a child, that the child becomes a magical being within their own right, known as 'witch children.' 
Helena says that when her coven found out she was pregnant, the coven demanded she hand over the child to them. She says that while witch children aren't corrupted by magic, they don't live long because they are eaten by witches and warlocks for their magical energy. Helena presses on and says that she left Sammie here because she thought it was the only way to keep her safe, but because Sammie has tapped into her magic on accident, that every time she uses magic she's signaling her location to nearby witches and warlocks. 
Sammie is confused, not understanding what's going on. Helena says she doesn't have time to explain, but that she thought having her brother bring her into the Order, which is against magic, that it would protect her. But she sees that's not working. She tells Sammie that she has to be careful with how she uses magic or she has to run. Helena says she can't stay, that the longer she's here the more likely people are to find her. She says that her brother will explain everything. She jumps over the edge of the building and disappears into a flash of light. 
Sammie's phone rings. The caller ID says that it's Blue. Sammie answers and asks if it can wait till the morning. He says no. Suddenly a door opens behind her and a man walks through with dark hair and blue eyes. He looks exactly like Helena. He tells Sammie that his real name is Anthony and that Helena is his sister, making Sammie his niece. Anthony explains how he came to learn about Sammie and asks her if she has any questions. Sammie says she doesn't know where to begin. 
Anthony gives her some more information about how Helena thought her being in the Order, who is against magic, would stop Sammie from using magic and keep her safe. However, that's clearly not the case as she's been accidentally tapping into her abilities. Sammie says she doesn't know how she's accidentally using magic. Anthony asks her if she's ever been hurt and should have been hurt worse than she was and then explains that she probably won't feel any different when she uses magic because she's innately magical. Anthony stresses again that she needs to be careful about how much she uses her magic because people will come for her and the Order won't protect her if they find out she is magical. 
Anthony asks Sammie if it's true that she's been partnering with Dragon Knights. Sammie says she didn't think it would be a reoccurring thing, so she didn't report it. Anthony says she is probably safest with the Dragon Knights, but says he's not sure how they feel about witch children. He says that if Sammie has anymore questions, they can talk in person but they can't talk over the phone due to the Order listening in. 
Bjorn has made it back to his hotel. He gets a phone call from Captain Holland. She says she doesn't know what Bjorn did, but thanks him for whatever it was. That she got a call from the CDC that there was a virus going around causing people to act bizarrely and that because of this call, she was able to release Mr. Watkins and Father Sanford. Bjorn says he still needs to talk with his people to see if he can tell her more. Holland says she's just happy to be able to close a case.
