Interesting because it has always appeared that he loved her from afar, but apparently they dated until John Blackwell came along. In the exchange, it is revealed that Ethan actually dated Amelia in the past.

Dawn tells Ethan that Charles tried to choke her. The second sub-plot involves Dawn attempting to first use Diana and then Ethan to get the crystal from Charles. We will undoubtedly find out what happens with that in an upcoming episode. Callum meets up with Faye later, and Faye is dumb enough to take some of this drug from him. Lee later explains to Faye that his former girlfriend OD’d on this stuff and that’s why he’s no longer a dealer. The guy, Callum, tells him, “Get me the stuff.” It’s a drug called “Devil’s Spirit”. Faye and Lee are talking when in walks one of Lee’s former “associates”, looking for … drugs? Lee’s a drug dealer? Former drug dealer, he explains to Faye. So she cozies up to Lee, who has a lust of his own going on … and a pain in his heart. So I’ll start with a short summary of the two smaller stories before I get to the main event.įaye is feeling on the outs with her friends and is still lusting for power (and I still think that this is the reason she is NOT the “other” Balcoin child – it’s too obvious). Perhaps I’ll start by saying that there were actually three storylines running in this episode, one of which was linked to the main action, and one that looks like a set-up for future action. At least, I hope it is, because if the CW thinks the show will be a hit with adults, the network must be run by chimps.Friends, this was a super awesome episode in so many ways I hardly know where to start. None of this is likely to matter to anyone over 17, because "Circle" is aimed at a teenage audience. That alone doesn't mean it has to be bad - witness MTV's "Teen Wolf," which found the prettiest teenagers in Hollywood and gave them a compelling story, credible plot twists and adequate dialogue to speak.

By the way, for some odd reason, the sons of witches (I just wanted to write that, sorry) are not called warlocks here.Īs in so many films and TV shows in this genre, the supernatural stuff is somewhat secondary to impossibly attractive teenagers in love and lust. Turns out that all of these kids are basically the Campfire Girls and Cub Scouts of a now-broken secret circle of grown-up witches, half of whom died in some mysterious way years before, leaving all the kids to be raised in single-witch households.

In addition to the vampire thing, Williamson was also the guy behind the soapy teen drama "Dawson's Creek," which may explain at least part of the genesis for "Circle." Basically, what he's done is to take the hormone-fueled teenage angst of "Creek" and pump it into a story about a secret circle of young witches and warlocks in the improbably named town of Chance Harbor, Wash.
