"You're positive she said Evil Benny?" Sarah asked as Benny walked into Ethan's living room with his spell book at hand. Benny flipped to the next page, skimming through the words to see if he could find a reversal-possession spell.
"You think I would lie about this?" Benny growled as he sat next to Darren on the couch, Darren looking through his own spell book.
"No… I just don't see how he could've come back. We flushed him!" Sarah stated in exasperation. Benny narrowed his eyes in on her and she coughed, "you flushed him."
Laura guiltily looked down, raising her hand slowly. The group turned to look at her and she gulped down the spit that had built up in her throat.
"I may have something to do with him being back," Laura chewed on her bottom lip as they stared at her. "To prove that Bea wasn't a witch, I told her to do a spell from Benny's book-"
"Thanks for finally giving that back," Benny butted in.
"Shush! Anyway, she performed the spell when neither of us knew what it meant." Benny's grandma took the book from Benny's hands and gave it to Laura.
"Which spell did she use?" The elder woman asked, watching Laura flip through the pages and stop on a page that made the woman gasp.
"Grandma gasped, why did she gasp? That's not good!" Benny was becoming antsy from worry and it was starting to show.
"A true desire spell," Grams watched as Delilah looked down slowly. "You know that spell, Delilah?"
"It's in my book too. There's a way we can reverse it and get rid of him." Delilah took her book back from Darren. "But it will take the both of them," Delilah stated, referring to Darren and Bea.
"Which is why I have to reverse the possession," Benny sighed in frustration.
"We'll find it, Benny." Laura assured him as Darren gave her a smile. Laura looked down after her gaze met Darren's, her cheeks flushing from embarrassment.
"What if we don't?" Ethan asked, being glared at by everyone in the room. "Just a thought!"
"We will find it; I won't be able to live with myself if we don't." Benny muttered to himself.
Sarah's eyes widened as she looked back up, "what does he want Bea to do?" It was the thought that no one had took into consideration until then. "He has her under his control for something."
"My God," Delilah gasped, covering her mouth with the palm of her hand. "You don't think he knows, Penny, do you?" Grams' eyes narrowed in as she thought about it.
"He could."
"Know what?" Rex spoke up, asking the same question that the others were thinking.
"Bea and Darren are stronger together because they're twin witches. They are at their full potential when their powers are combined, but if one were to kill their twin… they would take their power." Darren started to wring his hands at his mother's words.
"But this is Bea we're talking about, she would never kill someone." Laura said, sounding as if she were trying to reassure herself.
"Bea's not in control of her own body. It may be too late to save her," Ethan retorted. Rex looked outraged at the idea of his cousin being a lost cause.
"No it's not!" Benny and Rex shouted at the same time.
"I don't care if I have to search through books all night; I will find a way to save her!" Benny growled before he ripped his book from Laura's hands and stormed into the kitchen.
"I'll check on him-" Grams lifted her hand, stopping Ethan from stepping any further out of the room.
"You've done enough, dearie. I'll talk to him."

Darren looked at his mom, a hint of worry in his eyes. "What if we can't save Bea?"
"We will." Delilah told him without hesitation, her eyes set hard on the book.
"But what if we don't; what will I do when she comes to kill me?"
"Protect yourself; I've taught you the basics, Darren."
"Mom… what if I have to kill her?" Delilah, along with everyone else, looked upon Darren with gazes of shock.

Benny pulled at his hair as he searched through the book, finally finding the possession spell.
"Benny, read the small print below the spell." Grams spoke as she entered the kitchen and stood across the island.
"It's in Latin, I can't read Latin!" Benny exclaimed and his grandma simply rolled her eyes.
"Bea can be saved by love." Benny's eyebrow rose as he looked up at his grandma.
"Love? Love? How can love save her?"
Grams grunted in annoyance, her grandson surely was a pain. "Pure love can break any spell. Have you learned anything from that spell book?"
"How is that supposed to help me? Pure love is not something you can just pull out of a hat!" Grams felt like slapping the sense into Benny before his eyes widened in realization. "Wait… are you saying what I think you're saying?" Grams nodded and gave him a small smile.
"Your evil double may think that he's in love with her, but it's not reciprocated. You're in love with that girl and only you can save her."

"Benny, where's that dagger?" Delilah grabbed a map and spread it out on the dining room table. She unhooked the crystal necklace from around her neck and laid it aside.
"Here," Benny took the wrapped up dagger from his pocket and handed it to her. "What are you doing?"
"We're going to scry for them. We'll find them sooner this way."
Would Darren really turn his back on Bea and kill her? Tell me what you think!
