## Summary

Bjorn asks if this could be a trap to get them out of the base or leave the hotel unprotected. Miguel says he can put a ward on the door to keep them safe while they're gone. Sammie says they need to go now, but Bjorn says she needs healing from Miguel first. Sammie refuses, saying they need to go now. Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie run back out of the hotel and into a car, arriving at the apartment building as fast as possible.

They bolt up the stairs and into Sammie's apartment. The first thing they notice is all the blood across the carpet. Elise is crouching over Oliver's body, pressing her hands over a wound in his stomach. Blood is seeping out through her fingers. Bjorn is able to stabilize him, but he's in critical condition. They quickly catch Elise up to speed on the situation, saying she'll need to come with them. Elise asks Sammie if it's really her and Sammie assures her that she is. Elise agrees to come with them. Sammie is able to carry Oliver down to the car.

Henry asks Elise what happened and she explains that she didn't see anything. She came home from work and their door was ajar, when she came in she found Oliver bleeding on the ground. Sammie asks who is in control of Sammie's body if Sammie isn't in it and they tell her Jadis is the one with control of it. They assure her they're working on a plan to fix this and they all manage to fit into the car for the short trip back to the hotel.

Back at the hotel, Bjorn points out that Sammie is injured enough she's not going to make it for much longer. Miguel says that he can heal her and suggests she lay down and get some rest, but Sammie refuses. She insists Oliver needs magical healing more than she does and they don't have time to rest. Sammie places Oliver onto the couch and Miguel does some healing to him. He then does some quick healing on Sammie as well.

They all begin to discuss how to track down Jadis. Their easiest solution, using Sammie's third eye, isn't available to them. Henry asks if they can somehow use the blood connection with Helena to summon Sammie's body here. Bjorn says he isn't above using blood magic. Henry suggests they summon Jadis here, but have a binding witch circle there to keep her contained. Sammie points out that they don't know if they'll have to fight the dullahan as well once she is out of its body. Bjorn pulls out the gold bar he has and says they'll be able to handle it.

Sammie's eyes lock on the gold bar and the dullahan that is still present within the back of her mind takes control. The dullahan takes control of its body and bolts out of the room. Bjorn and Henry give chase as the dullahan runs down the hall. Henry manages to tackle it and the dullahan cracks its head against the wall. The force is enough to let Sammie take control again. Henry makes sure that Sammie is really back in control before they all head back to the hotel room.

Once inside, they go back to discussing the plan to summon Jadis to the hotel room. They finally settle on a plan - that they'll summon Jadis into a binding circle and then immediately transfer Sammie's consciousness back into her body. They will have to use all of their collective magic to transfer Sammie's consciousness and keep Jadis contained. Sammie says that Jadis' knife shard has to come out of her chest as soon as the transfer is complete - that it's the only way to permanently get rid of Jadis. She asks Miguel if he has a super magnet that can pull the shard out of her chest as quickly as possible. Miguel cautions her that they don't know what removing the shard will do to her, but agrees.

Miguel and Henry split off to start working on painting the circles on the floor. Sammie collapses into an armchair nearby. Bjorn continues to iron out the details of the plan with Miguel before Miguel tells him he needs to focus. Stanley starts answering questions for Miguel so he can focus. As they're talking, Bjorn gets a phone call from Holland. Holland tells Bjorn that they've found another body in a park by the beach. Bjorn tells her there's another body on the beach and tells her to avoid making contact with Sammie if she sees her. Bjorn also passes along that the man they're looking for is a warlock named Zane Grimwood and he's staying at the Rose Bed and Breakfast on East. Holland says she'll keep an eye out for him.

Bjorn hangs up with Holland and calls Angelina. Bjorn doesn't give Angelina any details on the Jadis situation at first, telling her that there is a warlock over on East that is killing innocent people and harvesting their body parts that he needs her and her crew to take care of while they handle something on West. Angelina demands details on what they're dealing with and Bjorn finally admits that Jadis has control of Sammie's body but they have a plan to handle it. Angelina tells him that he has two hours to handle it and if it's not done, they're coming over to West instead.

An hour passes before Miguel finishes painting the overlapping circles. The large of the circles is to contain Jadis, the other is where Sammie will be standing. He explains that they'll summon Jadis into the circle using Helena's blood to connect with Sammie's body. They'll then transfer Sammie's consciousness back into her body and Bjorn will use the magnet to pull the knife shard out of Sammie's chest. They'll also have to deal with the dullahan as it will have control of its body back once they transfer Sammie's consciousness. Before they start the ritual, Bjorn takes Oliver back into Stanley's bedroom and Elise agrees to stay with him there, keeping them both out of harm's way.

They all take their places around the room and begin the ritual. The large circle begins to glow with golden, magical light. Helena carefully cuts her palm and drops her blood onto the circle. The light turns blood red. They all begin to sense a magical pull. A wind fills the room, almost at the strength of a tornado. An image of Sammie begins to appear in the large circle, flickering in and out. The glimpses of her reveal her face is twisted in rage, an expression completely foreign to her face. It takes some time, but Sammie's body soon manifests within the circle. Jadis begins to push back against them with magic. They can feel the force of it hitting them and Miguel tells them they need to act quickly to get Sammie's consciousness back in her body.

Bjorn, Henry, Stanley, and Miguel - without Sammie this time - use their magic to activate the circle the dullahan is standing in with Sammie's consciousness still inside. They activate the circle. The dullahan falls to its knees. Sammie's body collapses as well. Sammie feels her consciousness pulled out from the dullahan and forced back into her own body. Bjorn grabs the super magnet Miguel has built and runs up to Sammie, pointing it toward her chest. Bjorn asks Sammie if it's really her, if she's back in her own body, and Sammie assures him that it's really her. Bjorn nods and turns on the super magnet, pushing it against her chest. The magnet works, pulling the shard out of her chest. Sammie knows something has gone wrong. As soon as the shard leaves her body, she is filled with crippling pain and collapses to the ground.

Bjorn immediately turns to try and hit the dullahan with his bar of gold. He slams the bar into its face. The creature recoils and then bolts out of the room. Henry quickly gives chase, following it down the hall. Bjorn drops down to his knees to get a better look at Sammie. He feels her pulse and realizes it is thready and getting weaker by the second. He realizes Sammie isn't getting better, that she's only gotten weaker with the shard removed, and thinks his best option is to put the shard back into her chest. He grabs it off of the magnet and quickly inserts it back into her chest.

As the shard is placed back into Sammie's chest, Bjorn sees the wound pull the shard back into its original place. The skin heals back shut over top of it on its own with a glow of green magic. Bjorn watches green light from the magic of the shar begin to shoot out from the veins near the wound and travel through Sammie's entire body. Bjorn suddenly realizes just how connected and intertwined the knife shard is with Sammie's body.
