Hey all, Shannon here with a new episode run down for The Secret Circle, Episode #9. To refresh your memory these are spoiler filled from the perspective of seeing just the particular episode discussed, and the episodes prior to it. Any predictions will be made from watching this (and previous) episodes, and although I have read the books by L.J. Smith that the show was based on I'm tucking away those thoughts and sticking strictly with what they say and show us in the show. Episodes 1-8 are being done retrospectively of the mid-season break, therefore no predictions will be made.
Please watch the episode first before reading to save yourself from SPOILERS for The Secret Circle: Episode #9.

Episode 9 Balcoin
Insight into Cassie's lineage through a family tree left by a shop keeper which has Balcoin noted in her history and the witch hunters want to abduct Cassie to take her to their leaders. Jake flips sides to help Cassie, first trying to get her to leave with them but then recruiting Adam and Circle Folk to rescue her from the witch hunters at the promise of leaving Chance Harbour.
General Comments
- Starting to see character similarities between Jake and Nick, they both have a distanced coldness to them.
- I love how Melissa tells Diana that her cousin isn't a rebound guy although I find it a little odd because I thought Diana mentioned that Adam was really ever the only one

- Jake can use magic individually, with light bulbs and words he explodes other lights
- Dawn continues to try and get the crystal off Charles
- Looks like spell Charles did on Jane isn't quite working
- Jane's memory has been tampered and is pretty off, thinking Cassie is Amelia, not remembering that Henry is dead
- Jake says jasper is his family's stone

- Dawn tells Charles that he has teh crystal but even so will needs her - I wonder for what?

- Cassie's family tree document when traced back goes to Balcoin
