Pandora sits on her bed, her eyes focused on the open closet. In particular, she's watching the dormant Box on the floor of her closet. She takes a deep breath, unsure of what to do.

"Everything okay?" asks Uni from the doorway to her daughter's room.

It makes Pandora look toward her mother for a moment before going back to The Box. She runs a hand through her hair and takes another deep breath.

"Yeah, I'm good." Pandora half-heartedly insists.

"Because that's pretty convincing." Uni jokes as she moves further into her daughter's room, seeing what Pandora is looking at, "What's wrong?"

"It's just... the last time I carried that around with me, things didn't exactly go well." a nervous Pandora declares.

"I remember." says Uni with an uncertain tone.

"I'm still really sorry about that." apologizes Pandora.

"You learned your lesson didn't you?" asks Uni.

"Yeah, that's kinda why I'm worried." suggests Pandora.

"And the fact that you're worried reassures me that you won't make the same mistake twice. You understand the consequences of what you're doing now." Uni insists.

"I hope you're right because... Sarah's progressing. She's started using the Maenad's abilities to her advantage." explains Pandora.

"Then you better have The Box on you for when she transitions. If you leave it too late, the spirit could manifest and that's not going to be good for anyone." Uni says.

"Just about bad are we talking?" asks Pandora.

"The last time a Maenad got out? It sparked the Salem Witch Trials. Why? What does Sarah want?"

"World domination?" Pandora responds.

"Yeah, I'm thinking you might want to stop that. With the way people talk today online, if a Maenad got lose?"

"It's not going to end well." Pandora says as she gets up from her bed and walks over to her closet, kneeling down in front of The Box and reaching for it.

After hesitating for a few moments, she picks it up.

"See? That wasn't so bad was it?" asks Uni in the way only a mother can.

"No, but when I woke up from that dream, it really screwed with me." Pandora says.

"It didn't screw with you Dora. That would imply that it has intention or desire, when it doesn't. The Box is no more alive then a fork or your smartphone that you love so much. It just uses a different type of system, reacting to external stimuli." elaborates Uni as she makes her way over and sits on the bed.

"The magical kind?" asks Pandora as she tentatively makes her way back over to her mother and her bed.

"Usually, but not always. The point is, you don't have to be afraid of it. Just be careful and think things through and you'll be fine." insists Uni.

The teenager with a destiny's grip slowly gets more firm then she fully grabs it with both hands.

Pandora walks up to her locker and opens it. She opens up her bag and pulls out The Box, looking at it as suddenly a dark red with black strands of a glow starts in it. Then it shifts and glows yellow, before becoming an orange color.

"Is that what I think it is?" Jemma asks seemingly out of nowhere.

Pandora thrusts The Box into her locker and closes it before turning to Jemma, "What's that?"

Jemma looks at Pandora with confusion, "Why did you put it away? I can't believe you still have that."

Pandora isn't sure how to respond right away, "You remember that?"

"Yeah, but... what is it exactly? You never did explain." wonders Jemma.

"Didn't I? I thought I said it was a family heirloom." suggests Pandora, trying to avoid any other questions.

"What kind of family heirloom though? I mean, my parents and grandparents have a few family keepsakes but none of them look like that." Jemma challenges her friend and potential girlfriend on.

"My family's really old. We have some weird stuff in our history that we apparently like to keep around. It's nothing." Pandora tries to insist.

"But if it's that old, how does it glow exactly?" asks Jemma.

"Didn't we already have this conversation? I told you... I think that's part of why they gave it to me. They want me to figure it out." deflects Pandora.

"That seems like a pretty crappy family test. Why the heck would they do that to you?" Jemma wonders.

"Why do parents do anything? It's kinda their thing isn't it?" Pandora suggests, again trying to avoid going there.

"Your dad doesn't get enough from ordering everyone around this place already?" pushes Jemma.

"Apparently not... look, I don't really want to think about it right now. Do you mind if we just talk about something else?" insists Pandora.

That makes Jemma give her a weird look for a second before smiling, "Sure."

Pandora moves away from her locker and Jemma walks along with her, "Great."

As they walk away, Jemma looks back towards Pandora's locker and a dark orange light is pulsing from it.

The beat is really moving as Pandora, Sarah and the cheerleaders all move to it. Sarah is up front, watching the rest of them go through the routine. They are on the football field this time, many of the other sports teams having gone home.

Sarah shouts out commands as she watches, "Good, this is good. We might actually get through it all this time."

The beat really picks up with a crescendo as it moves towards the big finish, Pandora and her other cheerleaders going for it full steam.

"And now for the big finish... come on people, we can do this."

Each of the team members pairs off with another, still going through the routine as they prepare for the big ending. Pandora and Kat pair off and Pandora braces for what comes next. As she does, Sarah's eyes glow red and so do Kat's but it disappears quickly.

Kat steps up while Pandora cups her hands to lift her in the air. Other cheerleaders are pulling it off, thrusting their partners up into the air before catching them. However, when Pandora and Kat do it, Kat's foot slips and she falls, a crack is heard as the high schooler collapses on the grass and yells out in pain.

"God damn it!" screams Kat as she grabs her right leg, "Oh god, oh god... crap... PANDORA!"

Sarah and the rest of the team stops and starts to crowd around Pandora and Kat as the principal's daughter kneels down apologetically.

"Oh... wow, I'm really sorry." Pandora honestly apologizes, adding, "Here, let me..."

Just as Pandora reaches for her, Kat pulls away as much as she can despite the pain, "NO, you stay the hell away from me. You've hurt me enough."

"I didn't mean to, honest." an even more apologetic Pandora insists.

"It's okay, we know you didn't." Sarah agrees.

"WHAT? How the hell do you know that? My leg is killing me! She did this to me on purpose!" Kat yells at Sarah.

"Oh come on Kat, it's obvious you just slipped." suggests Sarah.

Kat attempts to attack Sarah, then Pandora, at her words, "What the hell are you on? She's a sociopath."

"I'm really not." insists Pandora, "You should calm down. You're going to hurt yourself worse."

"Or YOU'RE going to HURT me MORE!" attacks Kat, this time being held back by her other teammates.

Sarah turns to a backing off Pandora, "Maybe you should get out of here. We'll take care of her."

Pandora is quick to move away even more, eventually turning away and leaving, "I'm sorry."

* * *

"Is she going to be okay?" asks a very concerned Pandora.

Pandora paces in her father's office, unsure of how to feel about what just happened.

"She'll be fine... eventually." confirms Jove from behind his desk, "Her leg was fractured but not broken. Kat will be out for a few weeks, but she should recover. You were lucky."

"More like unlucky. I don't even get how it could've happened. I had that routine down. And Kat has been doing this a lot longer than I have. There's no way we should've slipped up like that. I don't get how this could've happened." Pandora expresses with a lot of concern.

"You know why." insists Jove, "I've been getting reports of strange accidents. People hurting themselves doing things they've done a thousand times before. Early reports have Sarah at many of those incidents. Most of my teachers haven't made the connection yet but it's only a matter of time. If this is something she can do... with the football game coming up..."

"She could do a lot of damage. With all those people around? We're going to have to keep her from implementing whatever plan she has." insists Pandora.

"You're right. If she's manifesting more advanced powers, she might be ready for your help with The Box. You did bring it with you?" asks Jove.

"Yeah... although I'm pretty worried about using it." Pandora says.

"I know things didn't go so well last time, but that's to be expected. You're still new at this. You're bound to make mistakes." Jove suggests.

"I just don't want to make the kind of mistake that's going to get someone killed." explains Pandora.

"You won't." Jove says back, trying to encourage his daughter.

"You don't know that." Pandora says, concerned.

"I do. I believe in you and you'll do this just like you saved Jemma. You can do this." reassures Jove, "Do you have it with you?"

"It's in my locker. I'll go get it." says Pandora, turning to the door and leaving her father's office.

She makes her way down the hall quickly, passing several students on the way to class. It isn't long before she makes it to her locker. Pandora opens her locker, only to find...

"It's gone." declares Pandora, shoving her things out of the way in hopes that somehow she missed it.

Pandora slams it shut, then turns to look around for any sign of who might have broken into her locker. Eventually, she sees something out of the corner of her eye and looks towards Hermes' classroom. He is standing there in the doorway with a clear smirk on his face. After a few long moments, he turns and goes into his classroom.

Sarah is standing on the football field, enjoying the emptiness of it all with a smile on her face. She closes her eyes and listens. Suddenly, the sound of cheering can be heard. It's as if the bleachers are filled with parents and students from both schools, screaming for their school.

Her hands move up as the apparent cheering increases and a strange glow starts to surround her hands, with strange sparks coming in between her hands and the energy bubble surrounding her hands. Although it isn't long before the sparks expand outside the bubble and shoots what looks like electrical strikes from the bubble to the grass around her.

Sarah raises her hands above her head, the apparent cheering increasing as she does, and the energy bubble gets bigger and the strikes increase too. After a few moments, she claps her hands together and the energy bubble explodes outwards and ripples out across the field, hitting the bleachers. 

All the energy disappears pretty quickly, including the bubbles around her hands as she brings them back down to her sides. The cheering disappears with the movement of her arms and eventually she opens her eyes again. Yet just like before, the field is completely empty. The silence becomes deafening as the lights of the field get turned off on a timer. It's not entirely clear where the cheering came from.

Sarah takes a deep breath and ends it with a big smile on her face. There's a red glow in her eyes that doesn't disappear right away.
