The coven is officially bound together, for better, for worse and for anything in between.

That was the main development that went down on the second episode of The Secret Circle, which also introduced viewers to a third generation of witches; the concept of a magic crystal; and expounded in the fateful connection between Cassie and Adam.

What will unfold next Thursday night?

As teased above, we can look forward to:

• A school dance.
• A dangerous man from Dawn's past.
• The struggle for coven members to realize they need to stand together... or risk dying alone.
