Amidst her overwhelming emotions, Cal and his mother, Selene Belltower, enter, perplexed about how she was able to enter the secret room.
At first feeling guilty, but seeing the Book of Shadows is rightfully hers, Morgan confidently opposes Selene, and without any conflict Selene gives the book to Morgan. From this point on Cal's respect and feelings begin to grow for Morgan.
Tensions rise and things start to become unclear as little bits and pieces of information arise.

Or until Morgan's friends Robbie and Bree crash through the door saving Morgan.

Selene falls to the ground, grieving over her son's dead body. While her guard is down, Hunter attempts to put the braigh around her wrists, but she is automatically enveloped by the darkness within her, causing the braigh to corrode.
