Bitten S02E09 Recap: Scavenger's Daughter
One Year Ago. Aleister brings a woman
down to his weird red lair, his play room. She down to play, and he
cuffs her to the bed. She likes the sound of the game as he slide the
cuffs over her wrists and ankles. She doesn't even protest when he
brings out the video camera, and he insures her its for private use
only. He turns the camera on, and stops the music box telling the
beast above that she's ready. The woman comes down the stairs, and
suddenly Aleister's playmate doesn't want to play. Clara tells him
that the girl is perfect. She wants her. Aleister does a little body
swapping.
Jeremy stitches up Clay, telling him
that the witches said that it was the only way. Clay doesn't hold any
grudges. He almost killed Aleister. Clay has a little glitch, his
photo receptors shifted for a moment. Ruth is surprised to see Clay
there alive. She didn't think it possible. She tells them that the
undoing has begun, she can feel the witches getting weaker. They only
have until sunrise before the deed is done, and the witches are no
more.
Logan knocks on Rachel's door, but she
doesn't seem all too happy to see him. She told him she needed space,
and she doesn't want him there. Logan made sure she was safe, and he
loves her. She loved him too, and it got her into a whole lot of bad,
kidnapped and experimented on all because of what he is. She knows
that it isn't his fault, but she can't help how she feels. He asks
her to let him fix things, they have a baby on the way, but she tells
him that its too late. She got rid of the baby already, she tells him
goodbye.
Savannah awakens in a room with Clara.
Aleister asked her to watch over her, he's drained. She holds Savannah's talisman, Clara tells her that they can track her with
it, destroy her power, as they did with her own. Savannah doesn't
understand why they would do that since they just made it for her. Clara reiterates what Aleister always says that they're trying to
control her. She's young and beautiful, and with her talisman she
will be more powerful than any of them. She tells her to rest,
tomorrow, she starts her new life. Savannah doesn't feel so restful.
Clara tells Aleister that Savannah is
asking too many questions. She tells him that she needs one more
session, she needs to be locked down. Aleister knows that it won't be
much longer until the witches are all dead. What concerns Aleister
more is the wolves., they're hunters She asks what he plans to do
with his hostage. Aleister plans to use him to ensure that the wolves
don't find them.
A guy roughs up a girl over his phone,
and Logan doesn't really like it. He tells the guy that he's going to
let her go. The guy throws a few punches at Logan, in front of the
group outside of the bar and he goes down, but Logan isn't done. He
tells him to try it again, and the guy tries. Logan punches him once
really hard, and tells the girl to get out while she can.
One of the onlookers approaches Logan.
He can really take a punch, but he can also throw them he notes.
Logan doesn't want any trouble. The guy isn't giving him any, but he
offers him a way to earn a lot of money. Logan doesn't need the
money, but the guy knows that he has a few demons that he needs to
work out. Logan is interested in the fight club.
Jeremy goes to check on Ruth. She's
weakening. Jeremy doesn't know how to fight someone from afar. It's
the left hand pact Ruth tells him. Clara must have taught Aleister.
She was an expert at it before they shunned her. She could strike
down a man from afar. Jeremy tells her that she needs to strike back.
Ruth isn't sure she can, she needs some essence of Aleister, hair,
saliva, something. Ruth gets an idea, there is something she can try,
but she'll need an egg.
Jeremy takes her to where Aleister had
hidden his body. She rolls her egg across the floor, she needs just
one hair. They go back to the house, and she cracks open her egg, its
full of blood. Magic isn't something Jeremy will ever get use to. The
spell will kill Aleister, she just hopes it is done in time. She
pours out the rest of the contents, and its hair, and something more
substantial.
Aleister awakens in pain. He's not sure
what's wrong, it feels like an ice pick is piercing his skull. Clara comes to check on him as a red spot forms on his temple. She tells
him that Ruth is attacking him through his left hand. She must really
be desperate to be using black magic. Aleister is not pleased at all.
Ruth tells Jeremy that this is only the
beginning. Savannah suddenly tries to contact her. Ruth opens the
transmission. She knew Clara was behind the attack, and now its
confirmed. Clara tells her that she's not the one using left hand
magic now. Aleister shows Ruth what's she's doing, accusing her of
trying to kill her son again. He tells her that she will fail. Ruth
tells him that she had no choice. He wants her to say it, to admit
that she tried to kill an innocent child. If he cares about innocents
he needs to stop the spell. None of them are innocent, they will all
die. Jeremy grabs Ruth;s hand. Jeremy tells him that he will find him
and kill him. Aleister will be ready. Aleister severs the connection
suddenly. Ruth wipes the blood from her mouth. Jeremy got a good look
of where they were. Jeremy suddenly loses control of his form, and
begins changing. He tells her to call the others, and tell them what
they're looking for a basement.
Elena, Clay, Nick and Paige head to Clara's house, and they look around for signs of a basement. They split up. Nick finds a hidden doorway. He tells Paige to go get Clay
and Elena. They all head down to Aleister's Playroom together. It's
not what they were looking for. Paige bleeds from her nose. She tells
them that they need to move faster. Clay and Elena pick up the scent
of death. They follow it to a mummified head in a jar. Clara didn't
do this, but Aleister, Paige tells them. Nick thinks whatever it was,
that it was filmed.
Logan prepares for his fight. The guy
from the bar warns that his opponent is built like a truck. Its Cain.
Logan thought he was dead. Cain admits that Clay spared his life, but
took something of his, and he plans to make Logan pay for that. The
two men step into the circle, and the punches are fierce. Cain taunts
Logan, that he's been tickled harder. Logan hits him harder. Cain
realizes suddenly that he's losing control of his beast. He tells
Logan to knock him out, and Logan does his best, but can't. Cain
tells Logan to just choke him out then, whatever to stop him. Logan
manages to choke him out.
Jeremy has a hold of himself. He
realizes that its not just the witches in jeopardy. The werewolf
curse is lifting as well. At dawn there will be wolves and men. They
have to warn the others.
Clay, Elena, Nick and Paige watch the
video. Clara possesses the body of the girl. The girl has served her purpose, and Aleister brings her to the circle and kills her. Clara wakes up back in her body. She tells him soon it will be just the two
of them. Paige knows that Clara wants a new body. Since Clara is no longer a witch she'll survive the undoing as will Aleister since he's
the caster, and Savannah since she's the conduit. Nick points out
that she said it would just be the two of them. Elena finally
realizes that she's planning to take Savannah's body and powers.
Logan finds Cain. He came to warn him.
Back at the fight, that change wasn't random. Nick said that they
same thing is happening to wolves everywhere. After tomorrow they
will not be able to change anymore. Cain doesn't believe him. Logan
brings his attention to his wounds, he's still bleeding from the
fight. Cain wants to help stop it. Logan tells him that to do that he
has to join the pack. Cain scoffs. Logan asks who's in the other
room, and Cain shows him. It's Amber, kind of. She's stuck in
between. She wanted to be a wolf so bad, and Leblanc bit her. Logan
tells him that he needs to put her out of her misery. She's brain
dead, the only misery is his own. Rachel calls Logan, telling him
that there's something wrong with the baby. She lied about having an
abortion. She was afraid of what he was and lied. Logan heads
straight for her.
Elena knows that they won't find
anything at the house to lead them to Aleister. Clay asks her if
she's felt anything yet. Some sounds are distorted, but she hasn't
felt the need to change. She wonders if its true, that the curse is
lifting. Clay knows that Jeremy wouldn't say it if it wasn't true.
Clay tells her that if it is, then their lives will be easier. She's
glad that he's the one to say that, but the wolf saved him.
Everything they've been fighting for against Malcolm, the mutts, who
they are, it'll all be gone. They have until dawn Clay tells her to
keep fighting, for the witches, for the pack, for eachother.
Paige finds the music box. She grows
cold, as she collapses she knocks the dancer off the box, and the
wall closes trapping her and Nick inside. Paige tells him its a
witch's door, used for hiding places. There's a trigger, soemthing is
out of place. She sends him to fix all the things that she knocked
over, but she can't do much more. She passes out.
Ruth takes the next step in her left
hand magic. The cuts her finger, and bleeds over the egg, but the
magic becomes too much. Jeremy gives her a seat, but tells her that
she has to try again. She needs more strength, she needs to try to
tap into her coven leaders of past. To do that she has to go to the
catacombs in Boston. Jeremy is willing to take her, but she thinks
that he should be with his pack in case she's unsuccessful. The pack
will need his guidance, and she's caused enough pain. Someone
arrives. It's Rachel and Logan. He tells Jeremy that something is
wrong with the baby. Jeremy tries to talk her through the pain. Logan
tells her that the curse is being lifted, he won't have to change
anymore, and they can be a normal family. Ruth rushes out. Jeremy
sees that Logan has made his choice. Nothing more needs to be said.
He tells him to take Rachel upstairs. Jeremy goes to find Ruth.
Clay has had no luck getting through
the door. Elena brings a hammer, new plan.
Paige is out of it. She tells Nick that
Bloodroot is the only thing that would help her. He doesn't know what
it is, but he'll get it. He admits that he's falling for her. She
sees through him, the jokes, the bravado, the hair. He never thought
he could have what Clay and Elena has, what his father and Lily did.
Paige thinks that he's just distracting her. Nick isn't he tells her
that he loves her, that he's not going to let her die, and gah, my
favorite character is ruined. She thanks him, wishing that they had
more time.
Cain looks over his girl. He's not sure
how they both got here. They both loved the wolves so much, and the
wolves are in trouble. He needs to make sure that they survive, he
turns off the machine, and mourns his love.
Nick tells them that Paige is really
sick. Elena notices that Clay is bleeding. Someone returns to the
house. Paige is out cold. Nick turns his attention back to the table.
The person entering the house is the officer that Aleister had. He
raises his gun on Clay, telling him that he's there for the cursed
ones. Nick finds the music box. Clay distracts the cop, giving Elena
a chance to get the drop on him. She takes him down easily, but its a
lot more painful than usual. Nick hurries upstairs, looking for the
bloodroot.
Ruth makes it to the Delphi building,
and heads to the basement.
Aleister arrives at Stonehaven.
In the basement Ruth finds all the
witchy items she needs.
Aleister knows that his mother isn't
there, and he asks where his mother is. Aleister makes Jeremy crush
his own head. If he kills him, then he will never find Ruth. Logan
attacks in wolf form, at the last moment, Aleister manages to skewer
him on one of the many antlers around the house.
Ruth forms her circle, and casts her
spell. The mark on Aleister's face gets bigger. Jeremy tells him that
his mother is killing him, and he runs off.
Rachel rushes down, and sees Logan's
downed wolf. She tries to go to his side, but Jeremy stops her, and
lets Logan change back. Jeremy tells her that he had no choice, that
Aleister was there to kill them all. Rachel falls to her knees beside
Logan as he apologizes for showing her that. He never wanted her to
see him like that. What she saw was an act of pure love. He did what
he had to do to save them. The cuts to his stomach are deep, far
deeper than he can heal. He tells her to tell their son what kind of
man his father was, how much he loves her, and their baby. Jeremy
holds Logan's hand as he struggles to breathe. Logan dies on the
floor.
Elena calls and tells Jeremy that there
was a complication. Aleister was there, and they need to get to
Boston to protect Ruth. He doesn't tell her about Logan, only that
she needs to hurry.
Ruth continues to work in her circle,
coughing up blood. She pricks her finger, and Aleister vomits blood
on the side of the road. If the undoing is killing Ruth, he doesn't
understand how she's strong enough to do this to him. Clara has an
idea.
Paige is slightly better, but she knows
that the bloodroot won't last long. Nick tells her that he promised
that he wouldn't let her die, and he meant it. Elena worries, her
hearing is getting worse. She's concerned what will happen if she
suddenly changes. They're in this together, Clay assures her. If she
changes, he changes. He will live in life in whatever form she's in.
He will not live apart from her. They will fight together, and stay
together.
Jeremy hears someone at his front door.
Its Cain. Clay didn't tell him that he spared his life either. Cain
heard that it was the end of the world. Jeremy tells him that there
are witches in the world, and its the end of their magic. Cain
doesn't care what it is, tells him to just point him in the direction
of what needs killing and he will kill it.
Aleister, Clara and Savannah arrive at
the Delphi building, ready to finish it all.
Any idea what song is playing during the first part of the Aleister body swapping scene?
