## Summary

Sammie gets another message with coordinates on where to meet. In anger, she throws her phone at the wall and the screen shatters. Tears start to form in her eyes. Stanley comes in and sees the scene. Bjorn shouts in anger that he had her, he had her right in his arms. Sammie updates Stanley on what happened. Bjorn asks her about what 'deal' Molly was referring to. Sammie tells him about what Molly said about coming willingly. Bjorn tells her that she can't trust Molly, they don't know that they won't still kill her, and they can't allow witches to consume the magical energy Sammie holds. He ends by saying that keeping her away from the witches and the threat of them consuming her magic outweighs one life.

Sammie says that nothing is going to stop her from going to the coordinates Molly sent her alone. Bjorn asks Stanley if Miguel is still working on the circle to track witches. Stanley confirms that he is. Bjorn says at the very least they need to try and track the witches and see what they'd be getting themselves into. Bjorn and Sammie take a moment to heal Henry before heading up to talk to Miguel.

Miguel still isn't finished with the circle. Bjorn fills him in on the situation. Miguel turns and tells Sammie that she can't turn herself over to them. Bjorn emphasizes this, saying that she has to think of the bigger picture. She can't turn herself over to Molly for one person when the whole world is at risk. Henry asks if there's a way for them to teleport Helena to them since they know where she is. Miguel says that's not possible. Sammie says they have 25 minutes to make up their mind and she knows what she's going to do. If they don't want her to, they'll have to stop her. They head back into the Fort to see if they can come up with a plan.

Sammie says she needs some fresh air, but the boys see through her plan. They tell Sammie that she can't go. Sammie counters that Henry should know how this feels, that if he had a chance to save his mom he would. They remind her that the witches will corrupt everything in this town with her power and move on to the next city when they're done.

Sammie suddenly throws up an earth wall to block Bjorn, Henry, and Oliver and run down the hall toward the docks. Bjorn smashes through the wall as he manifests his scales and they give chase. Henry catches up to her first and Sammie throws up another earth wall, pinning Henry to the ceiling. Henry has a tight grasp on Sammie's shirt that she isn't able to pull out of. Henry tries to appeal to her, telling her he wished there was a way to save her mom. Bjorn tries to break through the wall again with his scales, but is unsuccessful. Sammie cuts her shirt with her knife to free herself from Henry's grasp and runs down toward the docks.

Bjorn smashes the wall again, successfully this time. Henry falls to the floor. Bjorn gets ahead and tries to catch up as Henry picks himself up off the floor. Sammie has made her way into a boat. Bjorn tries to jump off the dock and into the boat, but Sammie is just fast enough to dodge. Bjorn crashes into the water. Henry catches up and they make their way out of the docks to try and get into the air.

Sammie is out on the open water in the boat. Henry tries to swoop down and snatch her, but misses. Bjorn swoops down and manages to grab her. Sammie starts sobbing as Bjorn carries her back to the Fort. Bjorn says that he's sorry, that it's okay for him to hate her for this, but she can't do this. Henry manages to land in the boat and steers it back to the docks.

Back in the Fort, Sammie slumps against a wall, trying to figure out what to do. Oliver comes over to comfort her and holds her hand. He asks if she needs to talk and Sammie says she has a way to say goodbye but she doesn't know if she should. Oliver says that he would say goodbye if he had a chance. Sammie's hand is shaking in Oliver's. She closes her eyes and begins to focus on sending her mind to the coordinates she was given from Molly.

Sammie finds herself in front of Helena. She can see her mom, tied to the char, head lulling back and forth. Sammie can hear Molly laugh in the distance and say that Sammie must not be coming. Helena opens her eyes and sees Sammie. She panics at first telling Sammie she can't be here. Sammie tells Helena that she's not really there, that she came to say goodbye. Helena smiles and assures her she did the right thing, that she can't come. Sammie tells her she wants to, that she tried so hard to save her.

Molly hears Helena talking to someone and enters the room. She sees Sammie's presence there and laughs about her really not coming. She says its time to start the party then and lights her hand on fire. Helena tells Sammie to leave. Sammie watches as Molly begins to burn Helena alive. Suddenly, the connection is cut and Sammie is staring into Oliver's eyes, who is sitting directly in front of her now with his hands on her face, wiping tears from her face.

Stanley comes into the room, holding Sammie's busted phone which just finished ringing. Oliver takes it from him and tells Sammie she just missed a call from Elise. Oliver asks if he should call her back and Sammie nods. Oliver puts it on speaker. The phone eventually picks up. It's a scared Elise, asking if it's Sammie. Elise tells her that she can hear someone in her apartment, outside her door. Suddenly there is a large crash and the phone hangs up.
