'Secret Circle' Recap: 'Bound'

23.09.11

" Faye's mom and the villainous Charles, who killed Cassie's mom last week, are definitely still up to something. She wants to "bind" the circle (hence the episode's title which apparently isn't a reference to the 1996 movie), which would essentially limit all of the explosive craziness Faye is hellbent on exploring. This week, she's increasingly concerned about the newfound power they've all been dealing with since Cassie's arrival (as she should be after Faye's chemistry class prank). It turns out they've been juicing up on magic here and there thanks to a neat little crystal. You see, the resident bad-girl doesn't see a need for limits, rules or "binding" of any kind. It turns out after somebody died back in the '90s, the last circle was stripped of their powers. The eye candy was great, but what was most interesting about "Bound" was the continued unraveling and exploration of the mysteries surrounding Chance Harbor's adults, including Faye's grandfather. Adam's girlfriend, Diana, is the de facto leader of the small-town circle.
