Big Story- A Severe Storm Blows Into Harmony

Tabitha knows that if twins Grace and Faith were ever to meet, it could spell destruction for her as a witch. She is shocked when she learns that the pair could soon converge at the Lobster Shack and that their powers grow stronger as they move closer to each other. Meanwhile, Kay figures out that she's been stuck with nerdy Reese, while Miguel hopes his dream date will be Charity.

Tabitha whips up a magical storm that keeps Faith from reaching the restaurant. To Miguel's dismay, Charity is kept at bay, as well. Before the storm begins, Grace experiences a feeling of peace; her sister's closeness calms her and fills her with happiness. Kay schemes to salvage her evening by ditching Reese, while Miguel searches for Charity, who has found sanctuary in a church with her mother. Tabitha and Timmy can't enter the sacred building, so Tabitha lures Charity outside by fabricating a missing child. Charity agrees to help Tabitha look for her "lost granddaughter" on the docks. Meanwhile, Faith and Grace end up seeking advice from the same priest, who doesn't notice the sisters' resemblance.

On the docks, Charity is surprised when she is mysteriously forced into the water. Miguel comes to her rescue, and the two fall in love instantly. Tabitha and Timmy are disheartened, but they will not give up until they have taken care of Charity and kept Grace and Faith apart.
