== Plot ==
Back at the Castle Ivy complains about the others taking so long. Gabriel berates them and mentions how she'd feel if one of her siblings were in danger and Noah mentions them having a fifth sibling who died a few years ago. Dawn and Bianca arrive, and the three Wellington siblings begin to remember each other as they were by seeing all of their faces. Ivy questions where Piper and their dad is but Desmond follows and announces Piper has been mind controlled and Alistair is tracking them down. Bianca tries to explain things to Gabriel while Dawn and Desmond comfort each other and Dawn questions the memory restoration again. Desmond explains rabidly restoring old memories can cause new ones since the alteration to be lost but allowing them to return slowly over time lets them keep their new memories. Desmond isn't as skilled as his sister or father at restoring memories but offers to use a form of the soul melding spell on Dawn to show her the day they met when they were little. Dawn agrees and the spell begins.
Years prior Dawn relives a childhood memory where she and Bianca argue over why Gabriel gets sword lessons, and they can't despite their mother being queen challenging traditions as it is. The guards then announce the arrival of Sorcerer's from the "Kaltera Dominion" the queen allows them entrance and they are introduced as Archmagister Alistair Huntington and his wife General Sylvana Huntington. The couple has also brought their children with them an infant Noah, 10-year-old Desmond and two young Girls, one dressed in Red, Piper and another dressed identically in Blue named Amber the eldest Huntington Child. The Huntingtons apologize the Archchancellor of the Dominion is not present and has instead sent Alistair as his emissary to sign a treaty between their kingdoms who hope to form a proper alliance where the Sorcerer society can come out of hiding and share its more advanced technology and powers with the non-blood kingdoms. The Queen is hopeful of its success and the acceptance of sorcerer kind by her people and compliments the Huntingtons on their children. Piper comments how Non-bloods don't have electricity (yet) and Desmond is attracted to the young Dawn nearby. Amber playfully mocks him for his crush. Dawn introduces herself freely to the Huntington children, but Amber corrects her calling them witches instead of Sorcerers. Bianca is fearful of their power and rumors about what they can do but Dawn reassures her and hopes to show them around the castle.
Desmond ends the spell and the two awaken. Dawn remembers much more now after being shown the truth and her memories begin returning much faster. She thanks Desmond for showing her who she really is and kisses him.
== Trivia ==
* This is currently the only time we see Amber Huntington and the only time she mentioned by name before she was killed by non-bloods in fear while protecting her baby brother Noah. 
* Desmond mentions the memory spell he uses is a type of Soul Melding showing that with the proper magic Soul Melding can occur between a non-blood and sorcerer.
