The Secret Circle 1.18 Sacrifice
After the events of last week (i.e. Cassie and Adam giving up their love to save murderer Jake, and Cassie still loving Adam, but Adam completely forgetting about their love), I was not even sure if I wanted to watch this week. However, I am so addicted to this show that I could not help myself.
I am not sure what to think about this episode. I still have hope that maybe Adam is faking not loving Cassie as much as Cassie is faking it, or if that is not the case, then I hope that they will get back together soon, as in right away. There was a moment in the beginning of the episode when Cassie commented about Adam teaching her how to hold the tray and Adam said he felt like it was from a whole different time, you know? but he looked like he was searching her eyes to see if it was true. Maybe this is the shipper in me, but I really thought (hoped) that this look meant that he really does still love her and was looking to see if she still loved him too.
With the story line with Cassie, Blackwell, Jake, and the witch hunters, I felt like it was too soon to be dealing with anything other than the Cassie and Adam tragedy. I imagine that's what Cassie was feeling too. I know I didn't have the energy to be nervous and wondering what was going on with Evan and his minions. I felt like I was in mourning and couldn't put forth the required energy, so I don't know how Cassie managed it.
The whole thing where Adam stood up to Kyle the hockey player to defend Melissa and Faye's honour was touching. It was also really obvious that he was thinking about Cassie. His whole speech about missing what he had with Cassie without really remembering it was heartbreaking. I also feel like this was one of the first times we saw real emotion from Faye when she was talking about how hard it was to lose someone. And we saw how much Nick's death still haunts Melissa. Mostly though I kept thinking how sad it was that Adam keeps trying to remember what he had with Cassie and missing it. This gives me hope that somehow they will get back together. At least I'm hoping they will. Though was it just me or did Adam seem a little jealous when Diana went off with Grant? I hope I'm imagining it, because I really want Adam to get back together with Cassie, not Diana.
By the time that the circle came to the rescue of Blackwell I finally got over the lethargy, which I think means that Cassie did too. A really touching moment occured when Faye cried out to Cassie, when the witch hunter was holding her in the air by her neck. There was definitely much more emotion from Faye in this episode (and the last one with the thing with Lee). Also, Adam was the first one to go to Cassie when she was released! Hopefully, this bodes well for their relationship.
The result with Blackwell, and that his magic was finally revealed to Cassie and the rest of the circle was good. I felt all along that I did not really trust him, and that the circle shouldn't put so much trust in him. Now that his magic was revealed, I hoped that the circle would realize that he is not all that he appears to be. Maybe now they will start to second guess the other things that he has said and done that were supposedly to help the circle. For instance, the fact that he broke up Cassie and Adam on purpose and made Jake sick to the brink of death to do it! However, after it was revealed, the circle went back to the abandoned house with him and proceeded to listen to him and his advice. They really haven't learned their lesson yet. I will say this for Blackwell, he is very charasmatic. The speech he gave them about rising up to destroy the witch hunters once and for all was inspiring. I still don't trust him though, especially as he wants to unite the six crystals to do it. I think that this must be all part of his master plan, and that gaining their trust has been part of it all along. My guess is that he wants the one crystal for himself, and that once they get it for him that he will go after them. Or maybe even he will turn out to be the one in league with the witch hunters somehow, even though they have attacked him before. I definitely don't think it is good for the circle that Blackwell wants them to put the crystals back together.
The scene in the car with Cassie and Adam was awesome. He started out by apologizing for being wrong about her father (which I don't think he is). He then started saying things like 'we have history on our side' and 'I feel like this is the purpose behind every bad thing...' Now I suppose he could have still been talking about Blackwell's idea of destroying the witch hunters, but it seemed more like he was talking about things between him and Cassie, and saying not to give up hope on them. I really hope that I'm reading that right and that this was foreshadowing! I wanted to cry with Cassie when Adam told her that focusing on their enemies was the most important thing right now. I still have hope that they will get back together though.
The final scene where Blackwell dug up the grave was creepy as all hell and seemed to confirm my opinion of him. This is obviously the person that he sacrificed when he called the demons 16 years ago and is just another thing that he has been lying to Cassie about.
I really hate that after this episode there is a 3 week period of time where there are no new episodes. It sucks because I really want some answers both with Cassie and Adam, and with Blackwell's secrets. I cannot wait until it comes back on the 19th!
