The episode was written by Andrew Miller & Andrea Newman and it was directed by Dave Barrett.

The ratings decline in the second half of the season, the expensive cost of special effects, and dramatic locations were cited as reasons for the show's cancellation.

They disagree if they should listen to Blackwell (Joe Lando) and build the Crystal Skull or if they should try to save her with the Circle's power.

The Crystal Skull is now formed and Cassie denies giving it to Blackwell saying that she wants to be the one who will kill Eben.

Meanwhile, Adam (Thomas Dekker), Melissa (Jessica Parker Kennedy) and Jake (Chris Zylka) are outside the boat waiting for Cassie and Diana to come so they can save Faye.

They realize that they have their individual magic back which means the Circle is no longer bound, but they can't understand why.

Trying to figure out what is going on, Adam leaves to go back to Cassie and Diana while Melissa and Jake get on the boat to find Faye.

Cassie and Diana wake up and try to escape but they can't because Blackwell formed a circle around them that is not allowing them to get out of it.

The Skull has already started affecting all the witches and when Cassie sees Adam, she tries to get out of the circle but her power is not enough to destroy the spell.

The series ends with Kate casting a spell on Charles to put him to sleep; Faye and Melissa celebrating getting their solo magic back and being alive; Adam having the Skull that seems to be taking over him with its power; Cassie having the Balcoin mark on her palm and using her magic to ignite a fireplace; Diana also having the Balcoin mark on her palm and leaving town with Grant (Tim Phillipps); Jake receiving a package from his grandfather with the note: "The Circles are coming together.

Club gave a B rate to the episode likening it to a rollercoaster but it finishes strong saying that "That's how you end a season".

"The episode’s kind of fitting, actually, as the season finale to The Secret Circle, an up-and-down show that performed best with traditional horror elements and a set of increasingly complex dynamics between its various characters.

With a little bump in the road just before the mid season break, things came back under control and on a perfect path for maximum entertainment.

[...] If the show does end up returning for a second season, this finale has really given the writers a lot of great places to go.
