Eww, I'm sorry I said 'sex' — Roxanne is getting dressed. At Jez's. And Jez himself is still fully clothed, which is disgusting because (1) it makes me imagine unsavory scenarios, and (2) his fashion sense is appalling.

Jez essentially asks Roxanne to spy on Ella. Cut to the Medenham dining hall, where Ella has dropped her tray and is having another flashback to the scary torture chair. The chair offers a skull-squishing system: the occupant's head is fitted with a strap, which somehow goes through the back of the chair, and is then looped round a sort of lever, with which one can very effectively twist and tighten the strap, to make for a rather eye-popping evening.

As Roxanne and Leon and those other two random students talk about Leon's recent embarrassment, Ella gives up on trying to have a meal and strolls the grounds instead. She wanders by the always-snacking Thelma:

Ella: "I didn't think sausages would be your thing, somehow."

Yes, it's obvious, but it's funny just the same.

Thelma continues to pry, and when Ella fails to really deny that she's the Medenham witch, that's enough of an answer for Thelma. She wants to know what it was like — the dancing under the moon, the bitches' brews, the deviant sexual practices. But Ella says it wasn't like that at all. Thelma's not really listening; she continues to indulge her fantasies and says she envies Ella — "and, you didn't even get burned."

Right on cue, Ella has another flashback. This time we can see a bit more of the torturers, and of course the principal head-wrencher is Azazeal. I suppose we should be grateful for the background, but really: does it surprise anyone to learn that Azazeal was a hexenhammer? It would be more interesting if Jo Watkins turned out to be the witch hunter, and Azazeal turned out to be the medieval version of Postman Pat.

Seeing Ella's distraught state, Thelma finally gets serious and ask what's really going on. They end up screaming at each other, but of course Roxanne (who's watching from afar) sees the scene as Ella screaming at thin air.

The great outdoors — Thelma marches off (how can a march be so jiggly?) to somewhere, while Leon and his wet roommate Tom hunt for magic mushrooms. I can't believe I bothered to type that out.

A Medenham museum — Thelma sneaks (again, should a ghost have to sneak?) into some sort of museum, just as a rather enthusiastic woman is explaining the "fun" of being brought before a witch finder. I guess this is a kind of tour, but it's so odd... the young visitors are just sort of pacing like zombies, and the woman who knows everything about witches is disturbingly enthusiastic. Never mind: it's all a contrivance that allows Thelma to notice a mysterious door.

A meeting of the mindless — Jez and the Headmaster talk about Ella. Guess who's recommending close surveillance? Only he calls it "counseling."

A revelation — Ella is in the loo. She finally realizes that Azazeal is the origin of her pain. Well, duh.

She runs to her room and does her magical open-up-the-fireplace-cubby thing, but of course the stone is no longer there. Cut to Jez's church, where Azazeal and Jez are talking about Ella and staring at the aforementioned stone. Jez isn't sure Azazeal can "break" Ella. He notes that Azazeal broke her before, "and yet —" but we can't know what the "and yet" is just yet.

Witches aren't supposed to be stupid — Ella sits on the steps and holds her squished head. Jez shows up to offer understanding and pills — he got them from a "herbalist." Oh, is that what they're calling poisoners now? Ella appears to be listening to Jez. Roxanne watches them from her window.

Where brain cells fear to tread — Roxanne is pretending to console Leon, but is really just slagging off Ella.

An invasion — Ella returns to her room, where Jez is fiddling with a bottle of pills. He covers his guilt with feigned concern. After he leaves, Ella tosses the pills he gave her into the bin — but that bottle is still on the nightstand. And the horrible horizontal stripes of Jez's shirt are still burned into my brain.

Funny that — On his way out, Jez passes Thelma. Well, he doesn't just pass her: he says "excuse me." Thelma stops jiggling just long enough to wonder about it.
