Fresh from her rough night writhing around on the beach, Diana (Thea Gill) takes Van (Nadine Heiman) for coffee and to get her warmed up (as if that in her head beach romp wasn’t hot enough). We’re still not quite sure how the hell Van got to the beach, we just know she’s changing—and when Diana slips her hand knowingly across Van’s fingers, we know she wants her. Diana offers Van a book on Dante’s Cove history if she’ll come by the house again for a visit.

When Van swings by, she sees Diana staring at an old Tresum document she’s kept hidden for years. In flashback, we learn that as a little girl, Diana’s mother attempted to have her killed so that Grace (Tracy Scoggins) could become the all powerful Tresum witch.

Grace practices Tresum of the Sun House. Diana practices Tresum of the moon—which apparently has nothing to do with their ritual hours, because we all saw how frisky Grace got when the moon came out last episode. Still, the two don’t mix well together, so Diana’s father helped her escape with a document he said she’d be able to read one day when the time came.

So, instead of minding her own business, Van snags the document and a broken doll and makes for home, where we see a painting of the doll Van did months before, to further solidify the fact that Van sees the future.

Meanwhile, Michelle (Erin Cummings) is wiggin’. Every time she turns around, Van’s in her head, only she doesn’t remember Van on account of that messed up spell she cast on her. And since nobody seems compelled to tell Michelle what’s going on, we get to watch her fall apart at the seams.

Meanwhile, Van’s taken Diana’s Tresum document to Grace in the hopes she’ll read it to her. Instead Grace tells Van the text would just confuse her, confiscates it and locks it in her drawer. Why Van continues to trust this woman is beyond me! One glare of her eyes and Grace is easily the scariest bitch in the cove, bar none.

Adam (Jon Fleming) seems to have the answer—Saint.

Since he’s suddenly become Dante’s Cove’s resident druggie, he offers it to Kevin (Gregory Michael) to solve his money troubles, and then Michelle to combat the fact that she’s a head case. Next thing we know, Saint’s cleared Michelle’s head alright—and made her forget she’s a lesbian. Suddenly, she’s drama free and macking with some Return to the Blue Lagoon looking fella out by the pool. When Marco (Gabriel Romero) calls her on it and tells her to get back to work, Michelle—looking quite strung out—tells him she’s off the clock and takes her new man friend off to find a cabana.

Toby (Charlie David), who’s been watching all of this, is worried and breaks his silence with Van in hopes she’ll join him in an intervention to get Adam off drugs. She agrees, and the two sit down with Kevin to confront Adam who strolls in looking like shit because he’s strung out, but with abs of steel, looks yummy enough to take right there in the kitchen.

The intervention—which handyman Kai (German Santiago) chimes in on even though he deals to half the island—is a bust and Adam bails. Van agrees to go after him and finds Adam at a dried up well in the woods pulling more Saint off of the plantlife.

Meanwhile, Bro (William Gregory Lee) is stewing over Kevin’s DNA sample (sweat from his brow) which, after casting a spell, seems to allow Bro to see his sordid past, which involves playing chess with a fuck buddy, tricking with old men for cash and many of his and Toby’s sexual encounters. So, in his continued attempts to get inside Kevin’s head and … ultimately … his pants, Bro shows up at the Hotel Dante with a problem with his motor and a chess board. Kevin agrees to take a look at the car—right after the two sit down for a game. Kevin tells Bro the last person he played chess with was his first love, but when his mother caught them fooling around, the friend disappeared. Bro opens up a bit too, remembering his first love—the butler who bent him over the sofa just as Grace walked in—who met an untimely end. The two are getting closer, and we get the hint that it's only a matter of time ...

Later that afternoon, when Toby shows up back at the Hotel Dante, he strips naked and crawls into bed next to Kevin. Rubbing the small of his back, Toby flips back the covers to make love to him when he sees Kevin wearing an elaborate bracelet. When Kevin tells him Bro coughed up the bracelet for fixing his car, Toby flips out and tells Kevin to stay away from Bro—he’s trouble and he’s in love with Kevin. Kevin throws it right back, suggesting Adam, who Toby has “been there for” since high school, is the same deal—bad news with eyes for Toby.

Pissed, Kevin rolls over and goes back to sleep. While he’s out, Toby snags the bracelet and takes it to Van to look at. When she tries to touch it, it shocks her, which leads her to believe the bracelet is by Tresum’s male powers (because God forbid men and women should get along on a gay and lesbian show). She says she gets the eerie feeling the bracelet is watching them, so Toby, further freakin’, chucks the thing into the ocean. Just as well—ugly piece of costume jewelry when you get right down to it.

Meanwhile, Diana realizes a bunch of her shit is missing (stuff she’s carried around for the more than a century she’s been hiding from Grace but suddenly loses to the chick cleaning her house) and confronts Grace, who swears she didn’t snatch it but knows who did, which gets Diana’s wheels turning.

Adam, who’s finally starting to look truly cracked out, is wandering around the hotel a sweaty mess. He stumbles upon a curly topped hottie who hits on him and promptly rips off his shirt and bends him over to fuck him right in the middle of the hotel’s gardens. Adam wants him to use a condom, the guy persists, but Adam—cracked out or not—doesn’t roll like that so he pushes him off. The guy punches him in the gut and runs. Adam turns up back at Colin’s (Dylan Vox) sex club. Colin assumes it’s for drugs, but since Adam now has his own endless supply, it’s obvious he’s there for the sex. Colin leads him to the back room where men are screwing far as the eye can see. We're talking bjs, from behind, doggie, missionary, standing up, threeways, something inolving a paddle. He takes Adam by the hand and leads him over to the corner … fade to black, cuz’ we know what happens next and you can’t show it on TV.

The following morning, Adam stumbles up to the house, shirt in hand and sweat running down his face, where he passes out at Toby’s feet.

Toby helps him to the bedroom, runs a wet washcloth across his head and sits down to hold him. In and out of consciousness, Adam confesses his love for Toby, which Toby acknowledges but admits is not reciprocated. Toby says friendship will have to be enough. Toby stays with Adam through his detox, which Kevin sees. Once Adam is sleeping, Kevin tells him how impressed he is—the two make love.

Van goes back to the well in the forest where Adam’s been getting his saint. She casts a spell that makes the water in the well return and suddenly, a number of pages in the book become readable. Impressed by her progress, she heads to Grace’s house to steal back the Tresum document she locked up. Van’s suddenly able to read it and confronts Grace, now knowing that by allowing Grace to train her, during Solstice, she’ll be giving all of her power over to her.

Michelle, who is still completely melting down, takes a swan dive into the pool. Marco fishes her out, dries her off and, assuming she’s using, tells her everything in her head will clear up when she gets off the saint.

Michelle comes to Van for answers. She wants to know why Van’s constantly in her head—she even found a picture of the two of them together in her room but has no memory of the relationship. Van turns her away, figuring she’s messed with her head enough. More confused than ever, Michelle can’t take it anymore, walks to the beach and, inn one of the series’ most dramatic moments, walks into the Ocean and disappears underwater.

So, when next we meet for the season finale, many questions will be answered—and many more will likely be created. Is Michelle dead? Will Bro finally land Kevin in the sack? Is Adam really gay or is it just the drugs talking? And will Kai finally get around to sleeping with everyone on the island? Join us in November to find out.

Until next time!
