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?

Hola Smash fans! TVAngie is busy writing hate mail to Katherine McPhee, so she asked me to step in for this week’s episode. While I’ll confess that I’m enjoying the show more than my writing partner, I’m still finding some fairly significant faults in the singing saga. Will tonight be the night things begin to gel a bit more?

After an amusing if uninspired pilot episode, I was interested to see where the series would go as it starts to spread it’s wings a little. In its second episode, GCB follows Carlene (Kristin Chenoweth) and her bitch posse as they continue their hate-on for Amanda (Leslie Bibb), which involves bringing their children into the game. Hell hath no fury like Texan women scorned, but Hell hath no annoyance like a bored critic.
