March 16, 2012 by Joe Lipsett

It’s hard to believe that it’s been a month since our last fresh episode of The Secret Circle. And yet less than a week has passed in the show’s timeline as everyone is still reeling from the witch hunter attack in the woods that almost compelled Cassie (Britt Robertson) to kill her recently returned father, John Blackwell (Joe Lando). So what’s happening in Chance Harbour tonight?

Well if I was a betting man, I’d wager you’ll click through to find out…

The Secret Circle recap – 1×15: ‘Return’

A call to ‘Daddy’ two episodes ago pays off as John Blackwell (Joe Lando) arrives in Chance Harbour and his name is on everyone’s tongue. So why does this episode feel like so much of the same?

Let’s bitch it out…Beware: Rant ahead! [Read more…]

The Secret Circle recap – 1×14: ‘Valentine’

In the spirit (Devil or otherwise) of the holidays, our favourite witch show goes all fluffy bunny love and peace and happiness and stuff.

Nah, I’m just kidding. The boring chick OD’d, the trampy one got some (more) and the protagonist got strangled by ghosts and flipped her car. Feel the love!

Let’s bitch it out…

The Secret Circle recap – 1×13: ‘Medallion’

As much as I’m enjoying this first season of The Secret Circle, there are times when I think it should be renamed “Pretty People Who Make Bad Decisions.” Oh sure, that wouldn’t really distinguish it from many of the other CW shows, but it just seems as though this particular group of teens is prone to trusting the wrong people, making poor life decisions and almost dying.

The Secret Circle recap – 1×12: ‘Witness’

Last week Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) went batshit crazy for Cassie’s (Britt Robertson) black magic powers and Jake (newly minted series regular Chris Zylka) returned to crash Adam’s (Thomas Dekker) suck-face time with Cassie. What kind of trouble can our teen witches get into this week? As usual, it seems that the answer is plenty.

The Secret Circle recap – 1×11: ‘Fire and Ice’

It’s a battle of the bitches on our teen witch drama as Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) and voodoo warlock/emo hottie Lee (Grey Damon) strike a deal to steal Cassie’s (Britt Robertson) dark magic. As always, things don’t go quite as planned.

Let’s break it down… [Read more…]
