Gray vs. Lee
Last year, as I began jotting down notes for Spellbound 2: Duplicity, it quickly became clear that throwing two Gray’s together was going to be a hoot. Although they’re the same person, they have separate issues and as the story progressed they became their own unique identities. Halfway through I honestly didn’t know who to root for.
Gray the first now resides in the body of McKinley High’s former socialite Stacey Lee Morehouse. She’s had to adjust to a new body and living with an overly protective father – a man who isn’t her father at all!
Gray the second enters the scene on the anniversary of her death (ten months later). She’s once again stuck in Charlene’s body and returns home to find her mom dating Mr. Morehouse and “Lee” dating Raj. Talk about feeling like the fifth wheel!
Here’s a brief interaction between the two Grays:
Lee’s fashion scan of her double was abruptly interrupted by Mom and Mr. Morehouse’s lip smack. Mr. Morehouse leaned back and grinned. When he noticed the girls staring he cleared his throat. “Uh, Stace, why don’t you show Charlene your room?”
As though she were a twelve-year-old, Lee grumbled to herself. “That’s okay. Raj will be here soon. We can wait in the living room.”
“I’d love to see your room… Stace,” Gray said with a glint in her eye.
Lee pasted a smile over her frown. “Of course,” she sang out. “Please, follow me… Charlene.”
Mom frowned, but Mr. Morehouse was already ushering her into the kitchen with an offer of wine.

- Evil Eye Amulet and Bracelet: In Duplicity, Gray wears an evil eye pendant, also known as a nazar, to protect herself from a spell that’s causing havoc over the witches and warlocks in her coven. The evil eye (a Turkish amulet) is used for both luck and protection against envy.
- Two Headed Quarter: Two Grays are better than none and two heads are better than one, especially when flipping over who gets to choose which movie to watch with a trick coin. Adrian returns in Duplicity and opens a magic shop.
