"In Eastwick, Halloween is the most important holiday of the year, when the town embraces its heritage with a good old-fashioned witch burning. Haunted by visions of a funeral, Roxie races to save those she loves from peril - but can she change fate? Wrestling with her feelings for Will, Kat tries to help Joanna win him back, but only manages to drive her away. And, devastated after losing her job and her man, Joanna discovers things can always be worse. " -Wikipedia
(So, Pastor Dunn's not done!)
This episode focuses largely on Jo.
Joanna's sitting at home feeling sorry for herself when Roxie and Kat swing by. They tell her to feel better and try talking to Will. Kat says that Jo should aplogize, so she sneaks into work and talks to him. He accepts her apology but tells her they won't be dating. Joanna uses her eye-power on Will, and he tells her about the spark he felt with Kat. Understandably angry, Joanna confronts Kat, who tells her she didn't mean for there to be anything between them. Joanna is still angry and goes home, continuing her depressing mood. When she's laying on the couch and wants to change the channel, she begs the remotes to not make her get up. Reaching out her hand, the remote slowly moves toward her until she can grab it. Jo's amazed. When someone rings the bell, she reluctantly gets the door. Pastor Dunn knocks her out and kidnaps her.
Joanna comes to in a van, and Pastor Dunn's in the driver's seat. With her hands and feet tied, she seems helpless. But is she? She asks Pastor Dunn to look into her eyes, and to let her go. He resists her influence, either because they made eye contact through a mirror or because he's a priest, or he just really doesn't want to let her go. I have no idea. Anyway, he says he will not suffer a sorceress to live, and they continue on to his destination. Once there, Pastor Dunn is making a coffin for Joanna, and she gets more and more scared. While making nervous small talk, she notices something she can cut her ropes with, but she can't reach them where she's tied up. Hoping her powers can save her, she reaches out to the sharp object, urging it toward herself. Once she has it in her grasp, it's an exhilerating "THANK YOU!" feeling, and she tries, and fails, to escape.
Finally, Pastor Dunn takes Joanna to the town's annual bonfire, where everyone puts burdens from the last year in coffins and sets them aflame. It's very symoblic. He plans for her to die on the bonfire, have the witch burn. Roxie and Kat see Pastor Dunn standing near the fire, and know something's amiss. Kat tries to save Joanna, but volunteer firefighter Will stops her from going into the fire. Frustrated, sad, and very upset, she creates a rain that puts out the fire, and Joanna is saved. The episode ends with Jo and Kat being friends again. Joanna says that she really has no claim on Will, and if he makes Kat happy, she wants the best for her friend who would risk their life to save her own.
||Favorite Things||
• Joanna and Kat making nice. That made me feel very good inside, and really, Kat is worth way more to Joanna than Will is.
• Jo's new powers. Yay for the girls getting stronger!
• Bun's psychic powers! And how she helped save Joanna by touching her keys and saying they were burning hot.
• Bun telling Roxie that no, you can't change destiny or fate.
• When Bun told everyone "Can't You See She's Just Been To A Funeral??!!!"
• .... Everything with Bun in it, basically.
