The Conjure Woman Episode Synopsis

Conjure Woman is on the verge of a total breakdown tonight. She’s loosing her ability to foretell the future, her sole source of income, and with it all of her old faithful clients. The few new clients she has are calling to demand their money back with threats of reporting her for false advertising. The bank is about to foreclose on her house and she’s run out of extensions on her power bill. On top of all this, she’s too broke to buy medicine for the migraine headaches she suffers constantly. All she can do at this point is pray for help to get her through the night.

Help arrives when a paying customer shows up at her door for a reading. No sooner than Conjure Woman begins to see a trip on the horizon of her visitor’s palm, she sees something else that scares her to the bone. With little explanation, she stops the reading and shoos the visitor out the door just as a host of lively Sista Spirits descends on her parlor. They have come in response to her prayers.  They know what she saw and will do whatever it takes to make her finish what she’s started. 

But when the visitor returns, Conjure Woman refuses to continue the reading until the Sista Spirits warn that if she doesn’t, neither she nor her ancestors will ever rest in peace. Her only hope for the future is to recall the story her grandmother used to tell of the evolution of their bloodline. Conjure Woman happily concedes to take the visitor on the trip of remembrance, if that’s all it will take.

The problem is she doesn’t remember the entire story. The Sista Spirits intervene by taking her back through time to relive her grandmother’s incarnations and ultimately the darkness and terror foreshadowed in the visitor’s palm. The horrors of her ancestral memories are so painful that Conjure Woman wills herself to death. 

Yet, what she learns in the Spirit realm gives her the compassion to forgive the unforgivable and the courage to reincarnate with a distinct purpose. She returns to the early 1900s as her great-great grandmother to rewrite her family’s herstory and to pass on her enlightened consciousness for generations to come.

She eventually returns to the present, her memory fully in tact.  Conjure Woman has become the woman that her spirits guides always knew she was destined to be.
