TEXT: [PREVIOUSLY_ON] Mercy: Witch! Emily: No woman in Salem has ever had that kind of power. Dollie: Not even Mary Sibley. Tituba: The lady of the house is mine. Increase: We've uncovered a witch. Mary: How long may we enjoy your curative presence in town? Increase: Until every last Devil's whore of a witch in Salem is dead. Tituba: Petrus' physic will last but a day, and then Mr. Sibley will awake, lucid and eager. Mary: To tell Increase everything. [Rooster crows] [Thud] Henry: [Gasps] Increase: Choose one. Drink. Drink and... Enjoy. Only mere mortals are vulnerable to man-made spirits. As a man, you are an abomination, but you are no witch. Now begone with you and your... Pitiful weakness. Time to wake, my good madam. [Clanks] Let them no more say, "God must do all," and so encourage themselves to live in a careless neglect of God and of their own souls and salvation! The Devil has made a dreadful knot of witches in the country, and, by the help of witches, has dreadfully Increased that knot. Oh, children, children, be afraid and go not prayerless to your bed lest the Devil be your bedfellow.

Increase: Ah. Mrs. Sibley. [Chuckles] Join me. Mary: There are no words to encompass my overwhelming gratitude at your reclamation of my husband. When I think what might have transpired had you not been there Increase: Indeed? Exactly what might have transpired
SUMMARY:
Mary must act quickly in order to prevent Increase from undoing the spell placed on her husband. Mercy and her followers prove themselves useful to the greater cause, and Cotton mourns over the banishment of Gloriana.
