Nothing spoils the mood for an at-work quickie like the sight of a two-faced rabbit, the work of Bitten's resident mad scientist, Dr. Sondra Bauer.

Her decidedly unethical work gets Dr. Bauer canned from the university.
154481

154486
Back in the present day, Dr. Bauer isn't doing too well after injecting herself with Elena's wolf blood. While she's both fascinated and aroused by the pain of her impending transformation, her mind seems unable to handle this shocking turn of events.
154491
Dr. Bauer's former superior (and former lover), Dr. Penner, tells Clay that she shacked up with someone named 'Timothy Ashmont' after he fired her for making two-faced bunnies.
154496
Clay passes on the info to Nick and Paige, who track down Timothy Ashmont's mother at a retirement home. They also flirt.
154501
Ruth tells Jeremy they have other enemies besides Aleister. Hmm ... maybe we're about to meet one of them?
154506
Meanwhile, Aleister continues his seduction of Savannah to the dark side. He encourages her to use her powers to put her attendant to sleep without a talisman ... which she does, with a little unknown help from her mentor.
154511
Elena asks Dr. Bauer why Aleister needs her blood. She says he has to "inject the blood of the Cursed into the One That Curses" … and that "this is the way the world ends." Sounds ... dramatic.
154516
In another part of the compound, Rachel experiences what we've previously heard referred to as 'The Gentling.' It's Aleister's Clockwork Orange-ish brainwashing technique that turns you into an Aleister Goon.
154521
Here we go ... Dr. Bauer's about to wolf out!
154526
Aleister prepares to reveal a little of his backstory to Elena, but not before he uses his magic to keep her from, you know, trying to kill him.
154531
Aleister was adopted by the ultra-religious Ashmonts, who were convinced Aleister had the devil in him. Mr. Ashmont thought he could whip it out of him with a belt buckle labeled with the word 'Faith.'
154536
Mrs. Ashmont freaks out when she sees that same devil in Paige's eyes.
154541
Aleister explains The Undoing: the blood of the cursed (Elena) will mix with the blood of the one who curses (Savannah), which will cause all other witches to die.
154546
Aleister's revelation of his master plan is interrupted by word that Dr. Bauer has escaped ... and has left quite the bloody path to follow.
154551
Dr. Bauer-wolf traps Savannah in the storage room, though Elena soon comes to the rescue.
154556
Meanwhile, Rachel seems to have resisted The Gentling and makes a break for Aleister's main living room, where she finds his spinning top ... and stops it.
154561
Suddenly, all of the marks on the necks of Aleister's goons fade away! Neat trick.
154566
Dr. Bauer changes back, though her mind is now completely gone. Aleister mercy-kills her in the same way he murdered his adopted father -- by making her bleed out in the most gruesome way possible. One final bit of beautiful pain.
154571
Ruth and Jeremy pay a visit to Clara Sullivan, a former witch whom Ruth stripped of her powers after she went wicked (probably one of those "other enemies" Ruth mentioned earlier). Ruth takes Clara's hand to scan her memories ...
154576
... which reveals the image of a baby in a basket. "You never went through with it!" Ruth exclaims. Whoa, that might ... mean something.
154581
Paige reveals to Clay and Nick that someone has broken The Commandment and given birth to a male witch. The "girl babies only" thing with witches isn’t biological, it’s a rule due to The Prophecy of the Tribulation, which says that a male child born to a witch will bring about their downfall.
154586
After the horror of being stalked by a werewolf, Savannah vows to never be afraid again. She shows off her left-hand powers without Aleister prompting her, which pleases him greatly.

Nick and Paige finally consummate their flirting ... in the woods, against a tree. Hot. And probably sticky, dirty and uncomfortable, too.
154596
Aleister mixes Savannah's super-powered blood with Elena's blood, and the results finally delight him. "Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead," he quotes villainously. (That's from The Wizard of Oz, by the way.)
154601
Elena and Savannah continue their Ripley-Newt bonding, with Elena requesting they try to contact Paige.
154366

154611
Elena tells them they're in Quebec, at a former military base: look for a grouping of red roofs, a field of lavender nearby, and a train three miles to the east.
154616
She also gets to have some "Witchy FaceTime" with her boyfriend.
154621
The connection is severed upon the arrival of Aleister's goons, who zap Elena and drag out Savannah. Sheesh, the bad karma in this joint!
154626
Based on the details given by Elena, Nick and Jeremy figure she could be in one of two possible locations ... which are 150 miles apart. The team splits up to investigate both locations, after which Jeremy tells Ruth that he's going to tell Paige the truth: that Aleister is Ruth's son!
154631
Aleister has one final test of Savannah's powers: using her left hand to transfer her fear to her attendant, who begins to gurgle and blurch horribly.
154636
"Today you are a full witch, and you will never be afraid again," Aleister tells his student. "Today is the beginning of the end!"
