Meanwhile at the Boatyard, Faye was struggling to get out when a witch hunter is trying to tie her on a pole, he then took her phone and gave it to Eben. Eben called Cassie that he wanted a trade; Faye for a crystal or not he'll kill her. The circle argued over should they trust Blackwell to create the crystal skull so they can save Faye. Diana doesn't trust Blackwell, but Jake convinced her to help build the crystal skull so then if anything happen to Cassie she will be the back up to get the Skull to save Faye.
