## Summary

Sammie is looking at the ritual circle in the woods. She watches as hands that are not her own begin to glow with green, flaming energy. The energy begins to light up the bloody witch circle. Sammie snaps back to herself in the community center. She finds her hand hovering above the witch circle. Her own hands are glowing with green energy and begin to fill the lines of the circle with the same green glow. Sammie uses a tremendous amount of force to pull her hand back. As the glow dies down, she hears a voice in her head say, "Oh? Who's this now?" Then, the magic that had pulled her in suddenly switches off.

Sammie looks up, panicked, and realizes every single police officer in this room, including Holland, is staring at her. Henry has seen the whole thing occur as well. Henry walks over to her and quietly asks if she's okay but also panickily asks her what the heck she's doing using magic in front of everyone. Sammie frantically tells him that it wasn't her, that someone took control of her body and did it.

Holland walks over and asks what happened. Henry says they aren't sure but they need everybody out of here. Holland agrees and turns to tell everyone to leave the area as there seems to be some kind of chemical reacting to the air. As they file out, Sammie says she needs to get away from the circle and Holland grabs her by the arm and leads her out. Holland leads her to a nearby empty room and points to a chair for Sammie to sit in. She does so and then sits across from her.

Holland tries to ask Sammie more about what happened and Sammie emphasizes again that it wasn't her, that someone took control of her, and she doesn't know what caused it. Sammie tells Holland a little bit about her background, witches, and magic. Holland suggests Sammie stays here and that she'll tell Bjorn and Henry where she is later. Sammie agrees. Sammie sits in the room by herself, feeling all the anxiety and fear from the encounters with the witches washing over her.

Bjorn finally arrives at the community center. He immediately recognizes the pattern on the floor as a witch circle. He asks Henry what's going on and he fills her in, especially about what happened with Sammie. Bjorn grows concerned. He asks Holland to take him to Sammie and he asks Sammie to tell him what happened. Sammie tells him everything and Bjorn tells her to sit tight until they're done looking around.

Bjorn heads back out to the gym and starts to investigate the witch circle and the body. He realizes the circle was designed to transmute something - turn something into something else. Holland and the police are wrapping up. once everyone is out of the room, Bjorn smudges out one of the lines of the circle to break it and make sure it loses its power. Nothing happens as he breaks the circle. Seeing no reaction, he breaks several more lines. Satisfied that it's no longer dangerous, they go to collect Sammie.

On their way back to the hotel, they stop to grab some snacks. Sammie gets a bag of potato chips, Henry gets jelly beans, and Bjorn gets Reese's cups. Once they arrive, they tell Stanley and Miguel about what's going on. Henry had taken pictures of the circle and shows them to Miguel. Miguel sends them to himself and looks at them more closely on his computer. Sammie is nervously pacing. Henry brings her a glass of water and tells her to sit.

Stanley notices that Sammie seems to be upset and sits beside her on the couch. He asks if she's okay and Sammie tells him what happened at the circle. Stanley's normally grumpy face turns to a look of shock and then goes back to a look of concern. He emphasizes how bad that is and Sammie starts spilling her guts on the other weird things that have been happening to her lately - getting trapped outside her body, getting nosebleeds when she uses magic, some kind of force pushing back against her, and impulses to destroy things.

Stanley deflates and sits back. He says it probably has to do with the knife shard in her chest. Sammie says she didn't want to worry anyone by telling them. Stanley emphasizes these are the things she's supposed to worry them about, that if someone is starting to take control of her body that she could end up hurting someone. Sammie says it hasn't happened any other time, but Stanley points out she wouldn't know if it had. Stanley leaves it for now and says they have a murder to deal with, but she might want to take a step back for now. Sammie agrees and takes a sip from the glass of water she's holding in her trembling hands. Stanley leaves her to go talk with Miguel.

Henry starts to do some research on the internet about the witch circle and what it might mean. He can't find anything about the witch circle's capabilities, so he turns to his internet forums. He posts the picture he took and says he found it as graffiti somewhere and asks what it might mean. It's not long before he gets a DM from MonsterHunter69. Henry opens the message and it just reads, "Who are you." Henry says that it's not important and he needs to know what the mark is. MonsterHunter69 asks Henry if he made the circle. Henry reassures them he did not make the circle and that he needs to know what it is because his friend is in trouble. MonsterHunter69 asks if Henry's friend made the circle and Henry again says no.

MonsterHunter69 eventually tells Henry that they'll tell him what it is but he has to take down his post. Henry begrudgingly removes the post. He starts getting article after article after article from different places around the US and Canada. It is the same type of murder in each article, a body nailed down to the ground in the middle of a circle. The head missing and dangling above. Another, different body part is missing each time - an eye, a leg, an arm. After sending the articles, MonsterHunter69 says, "Someone's building something."
