The test itself will have two tribes competeing against each other. First aligning a series of 9 giant voodoo pins to be used as steps up to a platform and then a sliding snake down the backside. They will then slink their way through the BlairWitch Stick Maze and when out the other side, (IF they make it out) will be an opportunity for 1 witch from each tribe to cast 1 spell in order to raise the flag at the other end.
Whomever gets their flag up first will win for their tribe a getaway. Perhaps a broom ride through the jungle, with Samantha as your guide, is tease enough?
JPapa: "It's a cliche. But like all cliches, it's the truth. Your life can change overnight."
The tribes are decided via Old-Coven Pick'em style.
Stephen, Spencer, Tasha, Ciera and Joe
VS.
Kelley, Keith, Kimmi, Kelly and Jeremy
This means Abi sits out.
Abi: "You can't be your best self until you find your tribe. I'm still looking for mine."
JPapa: "Okay... Ready, Steady, Go!"
Off to an early tie, it's unapparent via third eye vidcap vision, which tribe ultimately comes in the winningest position.
So I, at this time, seek the help of some other scrying stygians.
Stygian #3: "The winners are... Joe, Tasha, Spencer, Ciera and Stephen!"
Now, perhaps before going or perhaps after returning, Stephen re-connects with Keith and the Minotaur.
Stephen: "You girls need to learn to fight. When witches don't fight, we burn."
Keith: "Careful, girls, it's not a game."
Jeremy: "I am Minotaur"
Stephen: "I want to make a move. I don't care how it's happening, but it's happening."
So Stephen practices four different moves...
Stephen: "Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the East, the powers of air and invention. Hear me!
Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the South, the powers of fire and feeling. Hear me!
Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the West, powers of water and intuition. Hear me!
Hail to the guardians of the watchtowers of the North, by the powers of mother and earth. Hear me!
As far as we know, Stephen's ONLY move is to get rid of Joe. Moby Dick with the moving balls and the penchant for winning EVERYTHING.
So, if he can at least try to get Joe's torch snuffed, he is going to. Will he even be able to?
Next up, JPapa summons again the witches, warlocks and minotaur.
Time for the Individual Supreme test.
JPapa: "This test will measure your ability of Levitation. On the ocean, with possessed sharks lurking beneath, you'll all stay upright. Whomever levitates higher for longest will win."
Kelley: "Abracadabra"
Keith: "AbreeCadabree"
Joe: "Avracadavra"
Stephen: "Now is the time. This is the hour. Mine is the magic. Mine is the power."
After a few moments JPapa returns and tempts the Exceptionals. No takers, but he has a trick up his sleeve. Duhhh!!!
JPapa grabs his machete and severs the life string of 11 swallowed souls.
They rise to the surface and JPapa announces...
"I'm gonna give you a chance to change your situation. The first person to touch their buoy swallowed soul earns an advantage in the game."
Joe: "Who just fell?"
Abi: "Light as a feather, stiff as a board."
Then from on high, the voice of gawd clears his throat and says...
"One witch risks their safety in the contest in order to gain an advantage and another warlock steps up in a brutal individual immunity challenge to further their game"
Uh-Oh... more Prophecy going on!
And as evidenced from the following vidcap, it's clear that Kelly finds the inner peace to fly her carpet to the advantage.
Does it work? Does she find the Idol of Regeneration?
Well, let us first contact another scryer to see what the outcome of the Individual Exceptionals Test is.
JPapa: "The winner is... Spencer."
What? Why Spencer?
I contend, anyone seen looking for an idol should be considered most in danger. Or at least consider themselves to be in danger.
Tasha, Keith, Abi, Jeremy, Stephen and Joe are all seen looking...
This leaves Spencer, Kelly, Kelley, Ciera and Kimmi as most likely to "step-up". And considering Spencer has been in 2nd most every Individual Exceptionals Test, it's about time he proves he has what it takes.
Well, to further the point...
The Hunt is ON...
This also allows for Joe to be in danger, for Stephen to plot his demise and for Kelley and Ciera to slip back into the "mists".
Witches Coven indeed, considering one of the best most well known powers of witches is the power of suggestion.
Joe will want to remove Stephen.
(Kelly is definitely with Joe. Keith is most likely with Joe too. But apparently, Jeremy and Stephen are definitely reaching out to Keith.)
Stephen will want to remove Joe.
(Jeremy is still there to defend and protect Stephen. With him comes Kimmi and Tasha.)
In this fight of the warlocks it is completely possible that the "witches coven" trifecta of Abi, Kelley and Ciera will have the target removed from themselves and end up having Joe and Stephen to choose between.
OFG, an even more famous, powerful and insightful enchantress, has a theory that excludes those whom are safe due to editing forethought.
Thusly; Kimmi, Kelly, Ciera and Spencer are safe.
Leaving...
Jeremy, Kelley, Stephen, Tasha, Keith, Joe, Abi as in potential danger.
Of those, and in my opinion...
Jeremy, Kelley and Tasha appear to have longevity due to edit.
Keith and Abi are varying degrees of jurist, but perhaps now is way too soon.
That leaves the season long storyline/showdown between Joe and Stephen finally getting a chance to occur.
Vote Confessionals:
Kelly: "This coven doesn't need a new Supreme. It needs a new rug."
Stephen: "Don't make me drop a house on you."
Joe: "Since when is being a slut a crime in this coven?"
Kelley: "And when the last star in the last galaxy dwindles and dies, the dark will be forever"
Keith: "Curses only have power when you believe them. And I don't."
Jeremy: "I am Minotaur."
Abi: "I wish I was as sweet as you think."
Spencer: "Eye of Clay and toe of Ghandia, wool of PapaBear and tongue of Alicia..."
Ciera: "I don't wanna waste my magic on you. I can do you with my third eye!"
For the bootee, let's "roll dem-bones"...
Uh-Oh.
Looks like we have multiple premonitions.
Perhaps we should turn to the infamous Witches Brew...
"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble."
To the brew add...
Eye of newt
Toe of frog
Wool of bat
Tongue of dog
Adder's fork
Blind-worm's sting
Lizard's leg
Owlet's wing
Scale of dragon
Tooth of wolf
Witches' mummy
Salt-sea shark
Root of hemlock
Liver of blaspheming Jew
Gall of goat
Slips of yew
Nose of Turk
Tartar's lips
Finger of birth-strangled babe
Tiger's chaudron
Baboon's blood
(Thanks, Bill. I feel like a racist, sexist dentist just for repeating your recipe.)
JPapa: "The votes are in...The deal is off. You have nothing to sell. You have no soul."
*SNUFF*
My bullet list prediction...
Team Teal for RC
Kelly for "advantage"
Spencer for IC.
Joe vs Stephen at TC
Votes 7 to 4
Stephen is Booted
4 of 5 Witches agree...
Enjoy your evening...
