Loveday Writing

Maggie believes that Elliot may be connected to the creatures. Macy wants to go and talk to Elliot but Maggie can’t go with her as she has to meet with volunteers for her movement therapy clinic and Mel can’t go either as she can’t cancel another date with Ruby. Macy ends up going to Lake Tahoe to meet Elliot with Harry.

Meanwhile on their coffee date, Mel meets Ruby’s friend, Bella, who is clearly into Ruby. Ruby tells Mel that Bella did ask her out but she said no, as she’s with her. After Ruby leaves, Abigael calls Mel, revealing she was sitting behind her the entire time. Meanwhile Jordan sees Maggie in the room where her clinic is being held and goes up to her. Maggie tells him that all of her volunteers stood her up, Jordan looks at the sign-up sheet and shows her that they are actually fake names. Maggie then leaves, looking for Antonio, assuming that he’s responsible and is trying to sabotage her.

Abigael tells Mel that an invisible, evil being has been stalking and trying to kill her while she sleeps, and asks Mel to watch her sleep that evening, so she can find and capture it. Mel initially refuses to help, until Abigael reminds her that as Overlord she has kept the demons at bay.

Meanwhile when Harry and Macy arrive at Elliot’s house, Macy shakes hands with Elliot to see if she has the same allergic reaction to him as she does with Harry, and she doesn’t, signalling that Elliot is not magical. When Macy notices an orb and goes to pick it up, getting a charge from it, Elliot takes it from her. Macy uses her powers to distract Elliot long enough for her to take the orb and for Harry to orb them out.

When they go back to the Command Centre and take a closer look at the orb, they find a symbol inside it. When Harry looks deeper into the orb, it hypnotises him and he starts behaving strangely, obsessing over matrix drawings and number patterns. When Macy sees this, she goes back to see Elliot and discovers he has been blinded by the orb. Elliot tells her that the orb is like a drug and she needs to get it away from Harry otherwise he’ll die. Elliot passes away himself moments later.

When Macy gets back to the Command Centre and tries to get the orb away from Harry again, he brings up his issues about their age difference. She tells him that they can’t solve all their problems – the age difference, the allergy, the ancient magic – all in one day and tells him she loves him. He gives her the orb and he comes out of the trance. Macy hides the orb under a blanket.

Meanwhile, Mel watches Abigael sleep in her apartment through scry glass. Whilst she is distracted by a text from Ruby, she smells smoke and sees Abigael’s bed on fire. Mel goes to her place, wakes her up and puts the fire out. Mel brings Abigael back to the Manor so she can spend the night and Ruby knocks on the door. When Abigael interrupts their conversation and asks who’s at the door, Ruby assumes Mel is cheating on her. In turn, Mel calls Ruby out for being all over Bella’s Instagram page. Ruby promptly dumps Mel. Mel chastises Abigael for interrupting them on purpose, but Abigael calls her out on pushing people away due to her abandonment issues.

Meanwhile, Maggie uses a potion to sabotage Antonio’s flyer, only to discover when she runs into him on campus that he didn’t write the fake names on the sign up sheet, it was a frat prank, and he chastises her for assuming he’d sabotage her project. When she talks about it with Jordan later, he brings up their attempts at intimacy only for the allergy to stop them. Maggie admits that she has feelings for him, but she needs to focus on herself and her dreams.

Later when she comes home, Maggie hears creaking and sees a demon down the hall. Mel is on her way downstairs when Maggie warns her and Mel attacks the demon. When Mel, Macy and Maggie try to vanquish it, Mel realises it’s Abigael when she spots a ring on the demon’s hand that Abigael was also wearing. Mel tells Abigael to wake up and she reverts back to her human form. They conclude that Abigael’s demon form comes out in her sleep and is trying to harm her, Abigael also tells them that her mother stripped her of her demonic form when she was a child and contained it in the totem. Mel tells Abigael her self-harm is a result of her own abandonment issues and needs to deal with them.

Towards the end of the episode, Mel invites Ruby over for coffee to apologise, and Maggie buys Antonio a drink to apologise for accusing him of trying to sabotage her project. Maggie admits to Antonio that she views him as her nemesis, and in turn he admits he viewed her as a nemesis as he was intimidated by her. He says that they shouldn’t be enemies anymore and toast to it, Maggie then has a premonition of the two of them in bed together. Jordan sees them from a distance and walks away.

The episode ends with Macy telling Harry that she entered Harry’s drawings and the numbers he found through a computer program, which is showing the possibility of a fifth dimension. Macy and Harry come to the conclusion that the ancient creatures were placed in a magical prison in the fifth dimension, and combining the Source with the Sacred Tree inadvertently set them free.

Overall I didn’t feel that this was the strongest episode. For one, Abigael turning into her demonic form and attacking herself at night didn’t really explain how she managed to attack herself whilst she was invisible – her demonic form wasn’t a separate corporeal being, which was shown when the sisters stopped trying to vanquish her and she reverted back to her human form. We also didn’t find out the magical origins of the orb. However I did appreciate Maggie and Antonio’s developing friendship that may or may not lead to a relationship, but I am hoping that the writers don’t focus too much on a love triangle between them and Jordan, as it would be cliché. I also appreciated that the writers touched on Abigael’s demonic form and that the sisters found out about it.

It will be interesting to see what happens next now that Harry and Macy have discovered the fifth dimension and magical prison.
