Recap:

Tonight's episode starts with Nancy confronting Carson with the proof that Lucy was her mother in a heart-wrenching scene that had the whole fandom in tears.

The Aglaeca is sending some pretty ominous clues to the Drew Crew letting them know that she is still coming to collect what is owed. Meanwhile, Bess has been put in charge of planning the annual birthday bash for Aunt Diana.

Victoria tells the crew about a ritual that can diffuse the effects from an inhuman spirit like the Aglacea. According to Victoria they only need two things in order to perform the ritual, they will need the person who called to the Aglacea and one of Nancy's blood relatives.

Unfortunately for Nancy she just learned that her only living blood relative is Ryan, and she's not ready to tell him the truth. Victoria also warns them that performing the ritual is going to be very painful physically for Nancy.

After her fight with Carson, Nancy headed straight to Owen and he asks her to go with him to Aunt Diana's birthday bash and then fly to New York with him to get her away from whatever is bothering her.

Ace calls Nancy at Owen's to tell her about the ritual Victoria told them about and knows how difficult it will be since he is the only person that currently knows the truth about Nancy's biological parents. They agree to meet at Aunt Diana's birthday bash and decide they will perform the ritual there.

Nancy heads over to Ryan's and is shocked to learn that he has a copy of Lucy's journal and has been putting pieces together and tells Nancy he thinks Lucy may have been pregnant. He asks her to go with him to a free clinic that he thinks Lucy may have gone to for health care.

Owen warns Bess that bringing Lisbeth to the party may be a mistake because of the fact that she is cop who investigates wealthy families. Once Nancy and Ryan arrive at the clinic things do not go according to plan and Ryan reacts badly when the doctor refuses to give him any information about Lucy.

Nancy asks to speak to the doctor alone and tells her she's not going to ask her to break her oath. Nancy convinces Ryan that she spoke to the doctor and that Lucy was pregnant when she died. Ryan is heartbroken by the knowledge that not only did he lose the love of his life, he also lost his unborn child that he did not know about until now.

Driving back from the clinic Nancy has another vision and begins choking so bad that Ryan stops the car panicked to see if there is anything he can do to help her. Nancy tells him that she summoned the Aglacea and now it's coming to collect the toll ( Ryan) unless she can perform the ritual and that she needs his help in order to do it.

In true Ryan fashion he asks Nancy what would happen if he didn't help because there would be an upside to his biggest business competitor being taken out.

Needless to say that turned into an argument and Ryan ended up leaving Nancy on the side of the road and drove back to town alone.

On his way back to town Ryan realizes that Nancy's locket fell off in his car and is shocked when he opens it and sees a baby picture of Nancy inside that looks identical to a baby picture of Lucy that he has and finally puts the pieces together.

George and Nick head over to see Carson and try to convince him to help Nancy break the curse. Of course he has no idea what they are talking about but he heads straight over to the Marvins.

Ryan confronts Nancy at the party about the baby pictures and tells her that she's smarter than he is the same way that Lucy was always smarter than he was.

Nancy finally admits to Ryan that she is in fact his and Lucy's daughter and that she needs a blood 

relative in order to perform the ritual.

 


Ryan is decidedly angry about the fact that if she didn't need a blood relative that she would not have told him. Ryan decides to help her anyway much to the confusion of the Drew Crew because Ace is still the only person who knows the truth. They begin the ritual and when the spirit starts attacking Nancy and Ryan sees how much pain she is in he begs her to let him stop the ritual but she refuses and tells him she needs him to save her friends. Nancy then tells everyone that Ryan is her biological father.

Once the ritual is over Ryan confronts Carson in the driveway and that Lucy died thinking he had abandoned her and that Nancy would have been safe with him and that he missed out on raising his own child because of him.

At the birthday bash for Diana Marvin the friends are still having vivid visions from the Aglacea and they realize the ritual did not work and they call Victoria for help. She tells them if it was not an inhuman spirit and was actually a human at one time they just made the spirit extremely mad. Upon learning this they rush off to find Owen and discover his lifeless body in the tub.

B-PURE Gentle Skin Cleanser Review

I absolutely love trying new skin care products, especially those designed for people with sensitive skin like myself.  A few months ago on a trip to my local Dollar Tree I found the B- Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser and decided to give it a try.  Review  I was really surprised at how well the B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser worked at removing the dirt and oil from my face without stripping and irritating my skin. Let me just say it is definitely the most gentle skin cleanser I have ever come across. It leaves my skin clean, smooth and refreshed every time I use it. The B-Pure Gentle Skin Cleanser is now part of my daily 3 Step Skin Care Routine. I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
