Mary: And where is it? A warning? Mary: Who in the hive has the power to challenge me? Hathorne: Well, perhaps you'd care to donate some of your father's estate to help pay for the cost of building larger and more sanitary holding cells for accused witches. But in fact, I come as a family friend to offer solace and spiritual advice to Anne Hale. I have something for you. Wainwright: And you are... ? He may have been snatched or at least not in his right mind. And now you, her Isaac, shall be my Isaac... my offering in turn to that goddess of bitches, Mary Sibley. They're searching for him even now. Cotton Mather seeks him. You saved my life, but I begged you to never return to Salem again. Mary: And that is? They think John Alden killed my father. Tituba: Murdered. Mary: His eyes? Tituba: Gone. In what way? Only fascination and... Mary: I felt it... the presence of the one who attacked me. Leave her be. Mercy: Leave her? Leave her? That is the way of the world. Wainwright: That edict was for others. Oh, just days in Salem and already Puritan hypocrisy is rubbing off on you.

Summary: In the wake of the most recent attack against her, Mary seeks answers to who may be responsible. To that end-and despite Tituba's warnings-Mary begins to tutor Anne Hale in the ways of witchcraft, but her work may not culminate exactly as planned. Upon his return to Salem, Cotton meets Dr. Wainwright and despite their obvious initial differences of opinions, each discovers the other may have something to offer in their mutual task. John Alden continues to make his presence felt in Salem, and his actions have repercussions for him, and for others, in ways both political and physical. Mercy moves forward in her plans of revenge against Mary even when Dollie, her only follower, and her father refused to participate. Meanwhile, Mary and Wainwright continue to explore their mutual interests, and Mary and Tituba search for the witch hunter.
