## Premise

Juliette and Cal contend with a common enemy amid the chaos of the consecration ceremony as sides are chosen, deals are made and milestones reached.

## Summary

The episode starts with Oliver, Elinor and Juliette running while an alarm from the hunters' sound blasters ring. One of the silver spears almost hits Jules and pins her dress, causing her to trip. Elinor runs back to help her up. Calliope is walking around, confused, when Clayton Cook grabs her in a chokehold and drags her away.

The guest are fleeing while the hunters are fighting the vampires in groups; Apollo and Theo are fighting hand to hand with vampires when a large and strong vampire throws Theo like a ragdoll. Apollo distracts him before he can finish Theo and the brothers overpower and spear him from front and behind. Tess and Mike take a more tactical approach (*one shining a UV light on a vampire while the other impales them*).

Margot runs barefoot, dragging Sebastian by the hand, closely followed by Jack and Talia armed with the silver spears. Sebastian lags behind when a UV light shines on him and Jack takes the opportunity to throw a spear at him - but he catches it. They fight over the spear, Jack being stronger and more skilled manages to impale him before Margot can save him. She easily pushes him away and takes out the spear, trying to fight off Talia with it, but she manages to spear her in the heart. Jack and Talia happily check on each other before starting to go away, but then Margot wakes up and starts to breathe again. Talia backs away in fear, asking why the silver spears aren't working. They run away and Margot turns to check on Sebastian. The other vampires start to wake up.

Theo questions why Apollo isn't on lookout, but he says him mom told him to stay with his brother. And that they needed him, with the "vampires on steroids". Just then, the vampires around them wake up and they run away. Mike and Sarah are retreating when she says they can't leave Tess, but Mike says he told her to meet her by the creek.

Near the house, Clayton struggles to put duct tape on Cal, who questions why he's not helping her family since he's Guild. He says she has no right to, since she "told the vampire to run". After putting tape over her mouth, she manages to headbutt him so he gets a nosebleed, but he pulls a knife on her and forces her into the car.

Elinor, Oliver and Jules run into Mike and Sarah. Jules hides behind her older siblings and Oliver tells her to get out of there. Mike and Oliver taunt each other when Jules notices something in the distance, saying "Cal?". She runs to find Cal, who is just getting pushed into the car by Cook. She rams him with her shoulder, spinning them around while grabbing his knife from him and threatening him to feed him to her family. Clayton glares at her while she removes Cals duct tape from her mouth. Just as she looks away he gets an opportunity and hits her. Cal, still handcuffed, manages to beats him. She cautiosly asks Jules if he's dead, and after listening, she says "very". Cal panics, rhetorically asking what she's done. Jules cuts her free and says "You saved me". Jules urges her to help her with the body and that they'll figure things out.

Tess find her parents impaled and stuck together to a tree. Oliver steps out, watching her. As Tess exclaims "You killed my parents!", Oliver notes that he had help. Tess throws a spear at him which he easily catches, but Apollo appears from behind and they both impale him. Apollo pulls her away and she asks him to check on her parents because they may not be dead.

Back at the Burns' house, Talia is patching up Tess. Theo is angry with Apollo for bringing a 'trophy' but he defends himself saying Tess wouldn't come otherwise. Tess butts in, screaming "that asshole killed my parents". Talia tries to comfort her, asking Theo if he's seen Cal. Theo shrugs and Jack comes in, saying that Cal isn't in the house and left her phone and car. He says he also called Cook, who isn't answering, and the Guild who is going to track his phone. Tess says she doubts that, since she heard her parents saying that the Guild knows he took her. The men look defeated and Talia goes to comfort Tess. Oliver interrupts, saying that the silver is shafing him as he's allergic, and Apollo responds by impaling him with a spear.

By the Fairmonts house, Elinor is talking to another vampire, saying they didn't know and never would've put them in that position. Margot comes in with a wounded Sebastian, asking Elinor for help. They help him to a chair and Margot asks where Juliette is. Elinor responds that she's fine. Davina tells them her security detail saw their son getting caught. Margot stops her from walking away, telling her Sebastian isn't healing fast enough. Davina ignores her, saying that they've caused irreparable damage to their reputation. Margot begs her to help, but she refuses.

Juliette and Cal are trying to get a hold of Ben, who comes running. Jules prepares him for what they need help for, but when they are going to show the body of Cook, he's gone. Bunny, Ben's mom, comes from the corner and startles them, asking what they're looking for. Ben introduces Calliope, to which Bunny asks "a friend-friend or a bring-me-some-of-that-over-here-friend?". When Ben tries to hush her, she says he already told her she had been swapping spit with some hot new thing at his secret boyfriend's party. He distracts her by saying her glass is sweating, so we leaves but not before saying they can come in for some chocolate pie if they're hungry for something other than each other.

After Bunny leaves, Ben gets upset and tries to leave, but Cook jumps out from the bushes, introducing himself as "the creepy dead guy". He hits Ben in the stomach with a stick, but Jules jumps in and beats him down. The others yell at her to get away, but she doesn't stop and bites and drains him, completing her first kill as Ben and Cal watch in horror. Jules is first caught in the moment, but when she sees her friends she looks remorseful.

Back with the Fairmonts, Margot tries to help Sebastian. She asks him to drink from her, which he does. When he starts telling her what a good life he's had, she stops him, saying he promised her 1000 years together. Elinor enters, saying Davina wants to burn down the house, and Margot gets up to deal with her. Elinor sits to talk with her dad. When he asks her to look after her mom, she refuses and says he can't die and leave her to deal with all the shitshow. Sebastian asks her to help her mom, but Elinor refuses because she doesn't want to leave him.

Talia storms out from the basement, angrily exlaiming that the spears didn't work and that her child is gone to JoJo. JoJo responds that the Guild is trying to find him and that she gives her word that she'll get Cal back. Talia asks if her words are the same that she gave Mike and Sarah. Tess come in and asks if 'they' have Cal. JoJo says no and Talia says that she should go upstairs to lie down. Talia says Tess should stay with them but JoJo reminds her of the Guild protocols. They argue some more.

Downstairs, Theo is looking through books while Apollo watches Oliver who is chained up. Oliver jokes but they ignore him. Theo says the books mention Curium might work, a radioactive element, can weaken them. Apollo says they should do it the old way and stake him to the bottom of the river. Oliver jokes again that he can hold his breath for a really long time. Apollo gets a chainsaw and suggests to cut him up but Oliver says they can grow out limbs like a lizard. Theo stops him, says he recognizes his ring as witchcraft. He takes off the ring from Oliver's finger with a pair of pliers and a red string comes out from it. Theo says the ring is from a Daedra Coven, asking if he's tied to a witch. Oliver says her name is Carmen, but they haven't put a label on it yet.

Back with Jules, Ben is panicing. She follows him and tries to calm him down. Ben makes her prove she is who she says she is by making her tell her a memory they share, where they were and what he was wearing. He still doesn't trust her as he never though she could lie about something like that. She says she did it to protect him. He asks how she's keeping it from her family and she says they're all also vampires. He further questions if when they kissed if she was doing it to taste him, but she gets upset saying that it was him who kissed her. This makes Cal raise an eyebrow. He then asks how she could tell Cal and not her best friend and she responds that she's always been told that she can't tell anyone. Cal chimes in that she was also surprised but that Jules saved their lives. Ben considers for a moment before walking away to get his Taylor Swift blanket, his keys and some paper towels for Jules bloodied face.

As Davina prepares to leave, Elinor stops her asking for what's going to happen to her father. They argue about why and Elinor tries to negotiate for her to help her father but Davina says there's nothing she can give her. But Elinor says she can marry one of Davenports youngers sons to fix what her mother broke.

Jules and Cal carry Cook's dead body while Ben, reminiscing about when Jules gave him the blanket, leads the way with a shovel. He says they need to find better ground and Cal panics and says her parents are going to come look for her. They keep looking for a better spot.

Margot tries to make a tired Sebastian drink more blood but he can't. Davina comes in and Margot yells at her to get out. Davina says she's going to help (her granddaughter) and Margot reluctantly leaves. Davina takes out the snake and tells him about the deal she and Elinor made. The snake crawls inside Sebastian who screams in pain.

As Jules and Cal talk about how their parents will either kill or ground them for live, Ben thinks Bunny is watching Below Deck without him. Cal notices they've been followed and its Noah and Philippa who saw their car. They ask if they're fine and Cal says Ben was upset about Ashley. The couple says they feel the same and invite them to a rememberance bonfire for Smashley.

An angered Talia tells her family to get out and leave her with Oliver. She says the Guild tracked her to the Fairmonts Estate and asks where she is. Oliver says his sister, the mean one, took her there. Talia threatens him with a knife, telling him to talk. He says Elinor brought Cal as a gift for Juliette. Talia tortures him to tell her where she is but he says he'd tell her if he knew. He says he wishes his parents loved him like she loves Cal. After some back and fourth, he says she's probably with Jules, the harmless sister. When Talia says Jules tried to kill her daughter, Oliver looks confused. Talia then calls Margot and stabs Oliver to make him scream into the phone. She says she wants her daughter back, and Margot confusedly looks at Elinor who nods. They decide to meet on neutral ground.

Back in the woods, Jules, Cal, Ben, Noah, Philippa and some other kids are having a bonfire. Cal suggests they take a walk which Jules agrees to after getting an OK from Ben who is awkwardly standing next to Noah and Phlippa. They talk about what they just experienced, Jules saying it felt right and Cal says it was weird but that she understands she did it for the people she cared about. Next to a sign saying "Tom Triplett Park" they come across a peach tree and Cal starts to question Jules about it. They start to argue and understand that Juliette can hear her thoughs (or at least when she screamed even if her mouth was taped) and Cal says she doesn't know what is real since she bit her. Juliette gets upset and says she betrayed her family because she knows her feelings are real. As Jules is about to break things off, Cal kisses her and they have sex against a tree.

Later, Sebastian drives in with his car, a black audi. Ben and Noah are talking, with Ben looking annoyed, when Sebastian walks up from behind him and demanding to know where Jules is. Ben makes up a story about a scavenger hunt just as Jules and Cal arrive. Jules tries to defuse the situation and that Ben should give Cal a ride but her father refuses. He tells the teenagers they have 10min before the cops arrive and they start to scatter. Jules reassures Cal she's safe with her and they follow him. When they enter the car, Sebastian secretly takes a picture of them and sends to Margot.

Elinor tries to persuade Margot that Oliver might've told them that there's a way to kill legacies but Margot insists that he's still one of them. When the Burns' car arrives Elinor asks which one she should kill but Margot makes her stay in the car. When Jack pulls Oliver out of the car Talia insists that he should be careful not to provoke her but Jack says its too late since they brought a war to her backyard.

When Cal says she'll be grounded for life, Jules half-jokes that they can see each other in their dreams. Cal notices that they're not driving her home and when Jules tells her father its the wrong way he gets angry and his eyes glow green. Jules insists and they argue but Cal suddenly shouts to stop the car. A witch, the same person who Ben saw at Ashley's party, stands in front of the car, holding a red ribbon as a storm gathering around her. She releases the ribbon while keeping eye-contact with Jules. Cal nopes out of the car and runs away. Jules quickly follows and Sebastians shouts as he gets out of the car but he's careful of the witch.

At the hostage exhange the thunderstorm suddenly starts. Jack asks Oliver if he's doing it and he starts to mumble. When Talia says she doesn't see her daughter Margot shows her the picture Sebastian sent. She says she wants to talk to Oliver, telling him to stop the cheap tricks. He says he wouldn't call her that. When asked why he's doing what he is he responds its for love and revenge. He gets up and jumps off the railing of the parking lot, with Jack, Talia and Margot shouting after him.

Juliette runs barefoot with her shoes in her hands while calling out to Cal. Cal stops she never should've listened to her. When she apologizes Cal comments that she says sorry a lot and Jules gets upset saying she never says it. Cal says she's scared and that Jules' dad is scaring her. Sebastian appears, shouting for them. They join hands nad nod to each other before running away together.
