Root Magic

On Thanksgiving, the twins help prepare dinner. They’re both thankful for their home.

They help bring food to people who need it. Doc and Janey reassure people who worry that Kennedy’s death means that life will be more difficult by promising they’ll all help each other. Jez notices that Jay is surprisingly quiet, and she asks what’s wrong. He asks her if she thinks she’s getting older more quickly than he is. He’s seen her help people, and he feels like he hasn’t. She tells him that they might experience different things but that it’s important that they stay close.

Soon after they eat, Jez feels her intuition kick in. Jay and Doc also feel it. They spread a mix of graveyard dirt and brick dust around the cabin and the house. They go inside to wait. They agree to handle it all together.

Then, the cabin explodes.

Jay and Jez spot a police car, and they know it’s Deputy Collins. He laughs, and Janey goes into her room and emerges with a gun. She calls Doc by his legal name, John, telling him that she’ll do whatever she needs to in order to protect her family. Doc calms her down and has her put her apron on and the gun in the pocket.
