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.

• Tessa : Let me be clear. I'm here to prepare you for battle. Because things are about to get really real. Which reminds me. Your demon side? We will need to get rid of that ASAP.

  Macy Vaughn : Well, we think I can utilize...

  Tessa : "We"? Who's "we"?

  Macy Vaughn : I discussed it with... Charity.

  Tessa : Uh-huh. Exactly. So, yeah. No, we'll be getting rid of that. In the meantime, you need to be able to fight the Source without relying on this Book. That means memorizing spells, keeping an eye out for demon activity, and... more pop quizzes. Just like this one. You've been snoozing all semester, now it's time to cram for the final exam. Mm.

  Maggie Vera : [Tessa vanishes]  Ugh.

• 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.
