## Summary

Henry and Sammie hear the shot and crash outside. Molly advances toward Sammie. Sammie tells Oliver and Henry to use their Bye Bye Bomb to get back to the Fort. Molly blasts fire at Sammie's feet and Sammie's shoes are melted to the ground, keeping her in place.

Bjorn crashes to the ground on his back, keeping Helena cradled against him. Bjorn sees two witches running toward him and a sniper on the roof of the house. Bjorn throws up an ice wall to slow the witches down. He traps them both in the ice, but one is still able to freeze him in place. Bjorn is able to see the sniper start to climb down off the roof.

Sammie pulls her feet out of her melted boots and yells again at Henry and Oliver to leave. Molly grabs Sammie by the front of the shirt and tells her none of this needed to happen. Sammie tries to use force to blast her in the face, but Molly dodges most of the blow. Molly returns the shot with a blast of fire. While Henry takes a moment to heal himself, Molly tells Sammie that she just wants to talk. The other witch in the room goes to strike at Henry and Molly tells her to wait for her signal. Sammie yet again yells at Henry and Oliver to use the Bye Bye Bomb and go. She holds up her hands and Molly asks if she's surrendering.

Outside, Bjorn is still frozen in place. He can hear footsteps approaching. He takes a moment to heal himself before he feels the barrel of a gun come to rest at the base of his skull. The sniper tells him to drop the wall and let the witches go and not to be stupid.

Henry tries to bolt out the door to go help Bjorn. She dodges the blast from the witch inside. The witch starts to chase after Henry, but freezes Oliver in place. Molly lights her hands on fire and creates a ring of green fire around just her and Sammie. Sammie tries to hold Molly in place, but Molly dodges the attack and runs up to push her burning knife between Sammie's ribs. Sammie tries to stab her knife into Molly's neck and does some damage, but can tell Molly's skin seems to be armored. Molly drives her knife deeper into Sammie and pushes it through her lung.

Henry hears the witch approaching him from behind and turns to swipe at her with his claws. He slashes at her across the neck before the witch blasts him into Bjorn's ice wall. On the other side of the wall, the sniper tells Bjorn he has ten seconds to drop the wall and free the witches. At the last moment, he does so. One of the witches he's freed walks forward and puts her hand on Helena before they both wink out of existence.

Inside, Molly's hand is tight on the knife in Sammie's side. She asks Sammie if she's ready for their talk. Sammie asks what Molly wants with her and Molly says that they want Sammie to come to them, willingly. Molly asks Sammie if she knows what witches do with witch children. Sammie answers that they eat them. Molly says that if Sammie comes willingly, they can take all of the magical energy from her and she can keep her life. If she comes willingly, no one has to die, including her. She tells Sammie to think about it and then vanishes.

The remaining witches and warlocks disappear into thin air. Whatever hold they had on them is released. Oliver rushes over to Sammie to help her up and then they go out to Bjorn and Henry. Bjorn tells Sammie that they took her mom. Sammie, in disbelief, just states that they're going to kill her. They all heal up a bit, collect any items they've lost, and use their Bye Bye Bombs to teleport back to the med bay at the Fort. Sammie immediately collapses to her knees, still with a hole in her lung. Oliver drops beside her and asks if she's okay just as her phone alerts with a text message. She's received a text with a video.

The video is of Molly standing with Helena. Helena is barely conscious or strong enough to keep her head up. Molly asks Sammie if she's thought about her offer before burning Helena's arm severely with her hand. Molly gives Sammie one hour to show up alone or else she'll kill her mom.
