Alone, Kurt finds he's no match for the witch and her shape-shifting polar bear. He turns to Arcanist Genevieve Reyes for help in fighting the killers' spells. As Genevieve and Kurt hunt the terrorists, shared danger leads to shared desire. But they soon realize Kurt's passion for Gen weakens his control over his cat. The consequences could be deadly for them both. Genevieve is attracted to Kurt's animal sensuality, but she knows she may be in as much danger from his tiger as she is from the terrorists. Even if Kurt and Gen manage to stop the terrorists, their evil sorcery may trigger a witch hunt that could mean the destruction of everyone with magical Talent -- including Kurt and Genevieve.

The show’s producers have assigned him to the beautiful witch for an onscreen showmance. Ariel Piper’s talent is strong enough to turn the competition in their favor.

The passion seems mutual, but Raven’s love affairs have a notoriously short shelf life. For all his strength, Nate doesn’t think he can take becoming her latest fling.

Margay Whitfield has a mystical bond to a tiger spirit which allows her to call on the animal’s power -- until a terrorist bombing leaves her with PTSD and shaky control over her inner big cat. Now she’s come home to Ashburg, S.C., where her mother owns a restaurant.

But when the terrorists who attacked her in Ukraine use Raz to turn the town against her and her mother, she has to call a cop. Though Ashburg Police Chief Grant Sawyer has no magical abilities at all, he and Margay were childhood best friends -- and high school sweethearts.
