Pilot

Pilot is the first episode of the first season of Langdon. It is also the series premier.

Plot
A Rolls Royce pulls into the quiet suburban neighbourhood of Violet, inside the car are father Marcellas and son Dagger. The pair make underhand comments about their new town. It is apparent that they are used to a life of luxury. Meanwhile, nosy neighbour Romilda faces keen interest in the new arrivals. Her children, Trey and Wallis, are less impressed with the expensive car pulling into their street. Wallis and Dagger take note of one another as Wallis leaves her house to go to school.

Across town, high school senior Sienna is having a large breakfast to celebrate her 18th birthday with her parents Carson and Esther. The family are face-timing her older brother Eddie, a college student. Esther is particularly emotional about Sienna's birthday, and gives Sienna permission to take the day off school, however, Sienna wants to see her friends. Carson and Esther share a worried glance. Sienna arrives at school where she is greeted by a kiss from her boyfriend Leondre and presents from Wallis and their friend Artemis. The trio of girls are excited for the weekend, where they are going to spend at Artemis' house to celebrate Sienna's birthday. Leondre is less impressed, wishing to take Sienna on a romantic getaway. Wallis tells her friends about the new neighbours moving in across the street, and they joke that she has a crush. Across the school yard, popular kids and Leondre's basketball teammates Ramsey and Keenan are picking on outcast Lane. The group consider defending him, but are distracted by a handsome man walking into the school. Artemis notes that there are a lot of new faces in town.

At the Langdon household, Esther and Carson continue to worry about Sienna's day at school. They call an unknown figure and ask for advice. The voice patronises the parents, and laughs at them for crawling back in their time of need. Esther begs the mysterious voice for their help, telling them that they are Sienna's only chance. The voice reconsiders, and tells Esther and Carson that they will assist them. Carson worries about what they have got themselves into, but Esther reminds him that they don't want what happened to Eddie to happen to Sienna. Back at the school, Sienna and Artemis are attending a physics class which is led by the handsome man they saw earlier, who introduces themselves as their new teacher Ellis Reese. Also in their class is the charismatic new student Dirk. Both Dirk and Mr. Reese have strange interactions with Sienna in the class. Later, Leondre is at the basketball tryouts, led by Coach Belmont. He, along with other seniors Ramsey, Keenan and Rory are helping the coach bring new blood onto the team. At tryouts is Dirk, who admits to only wanting to join to make friends. At the end of practice, Leondre offers Dirk as a potential new teammate, but Ramsey shuts down the idea. In the change rooms, Ramsey follows Dirk and questions why he has arrived at Violet. Dirk feels uncomfortable and leaves.

Following school, Leondre drives Sienna home, and misreads the situation when he attempts to continue a kiss into something more intimate. Sienna apolitically informs him that her parents have a surprise for her that evening. Entering the house, Sienna is met by a stranger who introduces herself as Lori Lawrence, who was the voice talking to the Langdon parents earlier that day. Lori congratulates Sienna on turning eighteen, before she, as well as Esther and Carson, chant in unison. The chanting knocks Sienna into a deep sleep. When she awakes, she finds herself inside a beautiful estate. Frightened, she looks around the large area and realises she is inside a house. Out of the shadows, a group of people begin to walk around her. They all begin chanting, but Sienna cannot make out the words. Frightened, Sienna calls for her parents, who reveal themselves to be apart of the ritual. Sienna tries to escape, and tries to run between a gap of two of the hooded figures. She is caught, and she rips off her captors hood, revealing it to be Ramsey. Ramsey tells Sienna to stop fighting and that they will explain everything. Once Sienna has calmed, Lori reveals to her that she is a mage. Sienna is unbelieving, however, Lori convinces her when she casts a spell that creates a flame out of her hand. Esther and Carson explain to Sienna that they were born mages, but left the coven once they found out Esther was pregnant with Eddie, believing a mage's life to be too dangerous for their children. They wanted to suppress their children's magic, however, when Eddie turned eighteen, they were unable to suppress his any longer, and Eddie, not understanding what was happening, was in an accident that took an innocent person's life. They realised that Sienna needed proper magical training once she turned eighteen as well. Sienna feels betrayed by her parents and asks to leave, however, Lori reveals that Sienna is her new protege and that Lori will be her guardian until her powers are under control. Esther and Carson tearfully say goodbye to their daughter. Ramsey takes Sienna aside and introduces her to her fellow novice mages; including Olympia, Lori's current second-in-command and eventual successor of the coven, and couple Darby and Cassidy.

At the Zhao household, Artemis approaches her sister Emily about the strange interactions with Ellis and Dirk at school. Emily theorises that Sienna's whole life is going to change, the girls revealing through their dialogue that they both are aware of the Langdon's magical abilities. Emily warns Artemis to stay out of trouble, but that she needs to keep a closer eye on Sienna, not wanting what happened to Eddie to happen to her. The girls then head to the fridge where they pull out bags of blood, revealing that they are vampires. They quickly hide the blood when Emily's human boyfriend Kenny arrives. He asks the girls if they wanted to get dinner, but they smirk, telling the man that they had just ate. At Leondre's house, on the outskirts of Voilet, he is having dinner with his parents Gabe and Josie. Josie rushes off, her shift at the local diner starting soon. Leondre complains that they make her work the night shifts, and vents to his father that Sienna did not want to spend time with him on her birthday. He texts Sienna, and the message is left unread, his fifth text that evening.

Olympia shows Sienna to her bedroom, one of the many luxurious rooms inside the beautiful estate. Olympia explains that, on the outside, the house looks like a standard Violet house, but that Lori has enchanted the home. Olympia reveals that the only other mages that live on the property are Lori, Ramsey and herself. She tells Sienna that, while it is at her discretion who she tells about her magical status, it is best to keep it a secret until you are completely certain you can trust someone. Olympia leaves, and with those words on her mind, Sienna begins to write a message to Leondre, explaining her magical status, but she stops herself.

Leondre is shown lying in bed, watching the text bubble show up on his phone, and then disappear. Frustrated, he screams into his pillow.

Sienna walks to the bathroom and opens the door, finding Ramsey, only wearing his underwear. She walks away embarrassed.

At the Howard household, Romilda forces Trey and Wallis to introduce themselves to their new neighbours. The siblings unwillingly head over with a welcome basket, but nobody is there to greet them. Wallis wants to leave the basket and return home, but Trey wants to investigate further, finding it odd that they are both out so late at night on the day they move into town. The pair head home, but Trey feels there is something not adding up.

At the Lawrence estate, Ramsey knocks on Sienna's door, apologising for the earlier incident. The pair begin to talk, and Ramsey reveals that he has known he was a mage all his life. He reveals to Sienna that mages are constantly at war with other covens, and that his parents were killed by an opposing coven when he was a child, leaving Lori as his custodian. He tells Sienna that she shouldn't be too hard on her parents wanting to get out of the coven, and that many walk away, but it is very rare for them to be allowed back in once they leave. He tells Sienna that Lori must believe there is something special about her.

On the outskirts of town, Marcellas and Dagger are wearing all-black and walking through the tree line. Marcellas, holding a crossbow, tells Dagger to repeat their motto "What is right is right, and what is wrong is wrong. We fight for what's right and we right what is wrong." They arrive at their destination, and it is revealed the house is next door to the Blake household. The pair sneak through the backyard and unlock the back door, but once inside are caught by those who live there, married couple Diana and Connor Dickens. The pair reveal themselves as vampires, and threaten Marcellas and Dagger to get off their property. Dagger attempts to attack but is thwarted by Connor, who pins him down. Marcellas pulls out holy water and throws it on Diana, burning her. Connor, distracted, loosens his grip on Dagger, who pulls free and pulls out a steak, which he stabs through Connor's heart. Distraught, Diana screams on the floor, as Marcellas shoots her with his crossbow. The pair sneak back through the backyard, but Dagger looks into the window next door and see's Leondre staring.
