Quotes 

• Tessa : Not impressed, ladies. Not impressed at all.

  Macy Vaughn : Who the hell are you?

  Tessa : I'm Tessa. Your new and improved Whitelighter.

  Mel Vera : You're our new Whitelighter? So this was a test?

  Macy Vaughn : And you thought it necessary to scare the crap out of us in the middle of the night?

  Tessa : Pretty sure I heard Harry kidnapped you and tied you to chairs when he introduced himself?

  Macy Vaughn : Well, we had a rocky start.

  Mel Vera : But he learned to respect us.

  Maggie Vera : And who the hell are you coming in here criticizing him when he... just died? Thanks to the Elders.

  Mel Vera : We miss him.

  Macy Vaughn : Yeah. It's really hard to believe he's gone.

  Tessa : I'm sorry. When they stripped his powers, I felt it. Whitelighters are all connected. Our powers are derived from a single source. I felt his light... extinguish. But it doesn't change the fact that you three are sadly, sadly underdeveloped as witches.

  Maggie Vera : [insulted]  Ugh!

  Macy Vaughn : Oh, wow.

  Mel Vera : Excuse me?

• Tessa : Harry spent a lot of time teaching you to believe in your sisterly bond, and not enough training you and enforcing the rules. The Elders sent me to change that.

  Mel Vera : We're not just gonna listen to you.

  Tessa : One thing to know about me: I don't like interruptions.

  Maggie Vera : This is the nightmare version of Harry's opening monologue.

  Macy Vaughn : At least he made his fun, and Shakespearean.

• Tessa : You three seem blissfully unaware of the apocalyptic consequences of your laissez-faire approach to this gig. Your entire purpose is to fight the Source. So, sorry if I'm not super fun.

  Maggie Vera : Wait, the Source? Has there been another sign of the prophecy?

  Tessa : Hello! Charity killed all those Elders right under our nose. "The movement's great sages fall..."? Not to mention a Vortex Viribus just appeared under this house. These are all signs that something's coming.

  Mel Vera : "Something's coming"? How conveniently vague.

• Mel Vera : Oh, I totally overslept.

  Maggie Vera : Me, too. I was up the rest of the night waiting waiting for Anne Hathaway-from-Hell's next psychotic training exercise.

• Mel Vera : We can't talk smack about the Elders in the open anymore. We have to light the anti-surveillance candle first.

  Maggie Vera : Right. I hate all of this.

  Mel Vera : It's bad enough we have to assume the Elders are watching our every move, but now Regina George is our Whitelighter?

  Maggie Vera : [snickering]  Regina George. Much better nickname. Anne Hathaway does not deserve that.

• Tessa : Why'd you cast a privacy spell?

  Mel Vera : [covering]  Because we... we always assume demons are monitoring us. So, yeah, we use it whenever we talk about defeating the Source, which is exactly what we were just doing.

  Tessa : Oh. That's actually smart. Not so smart, your failure to monitor demonic activity in your zip code that got this man killed. So... what kind of demon did this?

  Macy Vaughn : [giving the body a once-over]  No marks or lacerations aside from those dual punctures, so a vampire.

  Tessa : Nailed it.

  [handing a stake to Maggie] 

  Tessa : You've seen "Twilight", I'm sure. If he bolts upright in the next 48 hours, stab him.

  [to Mel and Macy] 

  Tessa : You two need to go find this vampire. And get a new coffee table.

  Maggie Vera : [Tessa vanishes]  Ugh, I hate Regina George.

• Maggie Vera : The lost soul is Galvin's. Mama Roz said to find her dagger and save him.

  Tessa : Galvin? Macy's human boyfriend?

  Maggie Vera : [on her phone]  This says that "Yoruba demons of the Abiku family are 'disease demons' who move from host to host."

  Mel Vera : The Abiku must have taken over Galvin's body in the jungle.

  [finding the dagger] 

  Mel Vera : Found it.

  Maggie Vera : [continuing]  "But their taste for a permanent host is specific. Abikus prefer to prey on the souls of dead children."

  Tessa : Galvin's a grown man.

  Mel Vera : But Macy was stillborn.

  Maggie Vera : The Abiku is using Galvin to get to Macy.
