Episode Title:
It Begins / It Resumes.
Episode Description:
It Begins: Will arrives at the town of Heatherfield. Her classmate Hay Lin invites her, Irma, Taranee and Cornelia to lunch, where her grandmother, Yan Lin, reveals to the girls their true powers, and passes to Will the mystical Heart of Candracar. Meanwhile, in Meridian, Caleb, the leader of the Rebellion against the evil Prince Phobos, is running for his life after a failed attempt at a storage raid. He leaps through a portal, interrupting the new Guardians' first training session. Overcome with fear, Will does not close the portal until one of Phobos' servants, Lord Cedric, drags Caleb through.
It Resumes: Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay Lin must travel to Meridian after Will is captured by Cedric and Vathek. They cannot transform without Will, who dropped the Heart of Kandrakar in the struggle. The Heart leads them to find its keeper. The girls make their way through Meridian, finding Will's pit-like prison, where she is kept with Caleb and a smelly creature named Blunk. They throw the Heart down to Will and transform to escape the castle. A one-eyed Gargoyle ambushes them at the portal, pulling Irma back, but Will closes the portal on his hand. In the end, Hay Lin names the girls W.I.T.C.H. (the first letters of their names).
