It Resumes is the second episode of season 1 of the TV series, and the second half of the two-part episode introducing the series along with It Begins.

Plot[]

Main article: /Transcript

The next day, the girls went to school. They wondered what had happened to Caleb after Cedric took him. When walking back home, Will went into an alley, while the other girls went straight ahead. As she was walking into the alley, a portal appeared and Will accidentally went in the portal. All was left was her backpack, with the Heart of Kandrakar in it.

Irma, Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin had to travel to Meridian after Will was captured by Cedric and Vathek, but they couldn't transform without Will, who dropped the Heart of Kandrakar in the struggle, and now the Heart lead them to find its Keeper. The girls made their way through Meridian, finding Will's pit-like prison, where she was being kept with Caleb and a smelly creature, Blunk. They threw the Heart down and transformed, escaping the castle.

A one-eyed Gargoyle ambushed them at the portal, grabbing Irma through the portal but Will closed it on his hand. In the end, Hay Lin decided to have a name for the girls: W.I.T.C.H. In the B-story, the girls struggled to be Will's new friends.
