I am summarizing and reviewing the second season of "Every Witch Way" by weeks. "Every Witch Way" has aired for the month of July and first week of August at 7:30 PM EST, the last episode airs August 8th.
 

"Outta Hand"
 Picking up from the last episode "No sleep Sleepover", Ursula wraps Emma like a present and makes Sophie into a tinkertoy to not tell Maddie she has her powers. Maddie finds out Ursula has her powers. At Emma's house, Emma shows she can do magic without audibly speaking, Daniel comes in and Andi covers Emma's spell. Back at Maddie's, Ursula tries to make excuses for what she did and Maddie calls her a dangerous witch. They need a conduit to transfer powers. Back at school, Jax berates Emma for using her powers through impulses. Fool Moon will take two more weeks. Jax wants to cut school. Daniel tells Emma he has to do 'Romeo and Juliet." Andi texts Emma and she leaves Jax, saying if she wants her to go with them--which Jax isn't happy about. Diego and Maddie are in lunch line talking about Ursula having powers. Diego says the principal wanted to use him as a conduit causing him to die. At the clinic, Andi can't go because she has a French presentation. Jax and Emma agree to meet at the pool, Gigi listens in.


At the school audition, Sophie & Francisco hold the auditions and the are all bad except for Sophie & Daniel (who ultimately get the parts). At the beach, Emma asks Jax to show her the problem. He makes a food appear and throws cake at her. He says that she isn't having enough fun with her powers. They have a food fight. Maddie leaves and Katie & Sophie corner him to talk to him. Katie wants him to be the conduit and lies that they found a way to protect him using a old book at Maddie's. Daniel find it strange that Emma is not in class but Jax is in class though. Jax and Emma continue their food fight. They run back to school, Emma is called to the Principal's office. Gigi says hi to two Jaxes in the hallway. Emma's dad berates her for cutting classes. Emma is shocked that it is only her. She complains to Daniel about having detention and he gets in trouble on purpose to be in detention to be with Emma. Andi & a crying Maddie bump into each other. Maddie enters the Janitor's closet, Andi follows her. She confesses that its been without powers is bad and she can't trust her friends or mom.


 Diego hears this. Andi tells her that she is head of the panthers, Maddie, even though she doesn't feel the same, everyone sees her as the same old Maddie. Andi encourages her, she cheers up, both make a deal not to tell anyone about it. At detention, Emma is present and Francisco is mad. Daniel is late and sits next to Emma. Later, Diego brings Katie and Sophie to Maddie's. At 7, Emma and Jax bump into each other (Jax works there now?) and Jax offers to show her a new spell, which she says no and is mad. She goes to meet Daniel who is practicing lines. She makes a spell and wears a hat and she hears Daniel's voice. Gigi sees Emma. Katie and Sophie wrap Diego in plastic to be the conduit. Ursula agrees. At Emma's house, Emma cuts up the hat she made, saying its cheating. Jax comes in, saying he was going to show her how he was able to not get caught. He makes a magical double.

Review:
One of my favorite scenes this week has to be the Andi/Maddie Janitor's closet scene in the Monday episode. My favorite episode has to be "Emma Squad." I like Jax longing for Bad Emma. I do like the budding relationship between Maddie and Diego, it shows Maddie's softer side. Having Desdemona as the play director really extends the storyline for the final showdown. I am surprised they kept Diego knowing about Jax and Jax knowing about Diego for so long. Also Daniel still doesn't know about Jax. I really have to give kudos to Daniel's actor for the Friday episode because he has shown lots of range.
