Season 1
In Pilot, Barb confides in Ingrid that after one of numerous fertility treatments, she is still not pregnant. Out of desperation, and partially joking, Barb asks if in her long period of studying magic, if Ingrid knows any spells that could help her. Ingrid reminds her that she studied the history of magic, not it's use, but would would help her if she know anything.

Later, Ingrid does find a "spell" on the internet, that she doubts but with the assistance of a friend, Ingrid and Barb perform the spell. They feel or see nothing that would make them believe the spell works, so they give up and leave together. As they exit, the five-pointed star that they drew on the ground as part of the spell, begins to glow without them noticing.

The next day, Barb excitedly arrives at the library with news that she's pregnant. She tells Ingrid that her and her husband made love twice the night before, after which she dreamed of Ingrid handing her her baby. Ingrid doubts that the spell was actually effective and that it was even reliable, but as Barb continues to explain, she wonders if she may actually have some magic abilities. In truth, although the spell may have been a hoax, a true witch performing it, intent on a purpose, may be able to produce a result.
