Maggie O’Neill is adjusting to her newfound powers as a witch, like seeing dead people walking the streets. Felicity Dow, Maggie’s boss at Enchantments, the chic gift shop in Stony Mill, Indiana, has turned the store over to her while “Liss” is still grieving over the murder of her sister.

Amanda has come to the store to purchase an expensive antique clock for her mother for Christmas, and pays for it with cash. The young woman and her two friends are rude and obnoxious, and when they see Tara, Maggie has to step in to prevent a cat-fight.
