- Previously
on "The Magicians"...

- Six children taken.
It's horrific.

- Sorry.

God, I don't know
why I'm crying, just--

babies, ahh!

- I'm sorry.

I forgot myself.

- Sorry, Ray.

I gotta test you
for spine-burrowing spiders.

uncontrollably shitting spiders
is bad.

- Ray, what do you make of--

All right, Glasses.

- Oh!

- You can just talk.

- Who has two thumbs and aced
their elective in dousing?

That is the worst mojito I have
ever had in my entire life.

- That's because not a mojito.

So get ready to--

- Holy shit.

- I just pushed him.
It shouldn't have done that.

permanently.

- That is good to know.

- Strange.

It's like you're Eliot
but not Eliot.

- So if he's in your head,
why didn't he swap with you?

He lost his love,
but he likes me,

so that feels like a betrayal.

- That is a lot of drama
to track.

- What about you and Josh?

Since I'll be going
on a long walk

to cut down a tree with him,

The circumstances have changed.

Castle has been struck
with a strange sleeping curse.

- Is that what happened to--

- I think I know this curse.

Good news, there's a cure.

Only prob: It takes a bit
of cooperative spellwork.

You need four hands to do it.

I haven't been feeling myself.

Since our last talk.

- That could've gone smoother.

Or a curse, I guess.

Oh, Umber's balls.

Margo just keeps leaving
her uniform lying around.

Makes me feel like a maid.

Right.

- Okay, well,
if that's the truth

then why haven't you
done something about it?

It's not a hard procedure,
not even in Fillory.

- You think I should abort it?

- I'm saying
you should make a choice.

You're letting something
into your life

that you can't control and in
lots of ways will control you.

It'll make you happy,

or devastate you.

- Yeah.

and it was really bad.

And I knew this time
if I told everyone about it,

they'd get worried
and overprotective

and I just wanted to take one
of the next nine months

to feel like maybe this time

it wouldn't be so terrible,
you know?

- Nine months?
What are you talking about?

It's Red Monkey Month.

- Red Monkey what?

- Are we really
not gonna do this?

Look, I'd be lying
if I said it didn't hurt

- I can accept it's over
if you just say the words.

- Josh, I wanna talk.

Except to say

that maybe I need
a little more time

to forgive myself.

a big one.

And now I need
to earn your forgiveness,

- I think Ray
was hosting a symbiote.

but those particles that came
out of him were fungal spores.

They'll want a new host body.

- Yeah, hi.
New to this job.

I have no idea how
to control the school vents.

- Eukaryotic photosymbiont.

- Yeah, there's a monster
on the loose.

- New theory: The fungus can
spread to multiple hosts.

This might be a zombie plague
situation.

- What?
- What?

- I say this is the man
who blew up my Brakebills.

- Yeah, I'm not here
for a lecture from my prisoner.

- A dean is supposed
to have strong instincts,

- DO you want to help or what?
- Yes.

I can provide a solution--

in exchange for my release.

But--

- No deal.

We'll find our own way.

- You cannot save your students
without my help.

- See, in our timeline

- Gave away your leverage.

Thought a dean was supposed
to have strong instincts.

- I will get out of here,

and then I'll turn you
into lobsters

- Okay, the book we need
is right there.

- See any twitching?

- Just assume
they're all infected.

- And assume
they're all looking for us.

- Hey.

Remember, magic is
unpredictable outside the lab.

- So no phosphoromancy.

Good thing I have experience

being invisible
from high school.

Ooh, ooh.

- Penny.

- Oh, shit.

- Penny.

- Almost ready.

- Great.

- Uh...

Margo, you have
to draw this out.

The second they wake,
Seb will dismiss you.

- No shit, Sherlock.

This is all part of my plan
to win him over.

- How is finishing the ritual

early and in silence
part of your plan?

- Because I taught it
to him wrong,

- Eliot?

Something in the middle section
doesn't feeling right.

The energies aren't moving
as they should.

- Hmm.

I can walk you through it.

- If you need my help,
just ask.

- Jesus' clits.

I know how to work a guy,
Charlton.

- Yes.
You do, Margo.

As Eliot, you're coming on
too strong.

I can show you the rest
if you're ready.

But first,
I think I owe you an apology.

- Eliot, that's not necessary.
- It's just--

I haven't felt this way
in a really long time.

I think the fact that we both--

it just felt safe with you,
you know?

Now let me show you how
to do that spell correctly.

- Are we close to the tree?

I don't mean to rush.
You're the expert.

- Emotional,
agreeable, patient?

You're not Margo.

or an agent of the Dark King.

- But I'm not.
Josh, I'm--

shit.

I wish I could explain.

- Oh, well, until you do,
I'm not taking you to the tree.

Got it?

- The antifungal
kind of worked.

We got the spores out of him.

- Yeah, and into Penny.

- It must be the fungus'
networking ability.

Long as it's alive
in other hosts,

it can still direct its spores
into whoever it wants.

- So why not into us?
We were right there.

- No.

Ever since I found this page
I knew it was important.

- Back the fuck off, botanist.

- Sorry.
Maybe I overstepped.

- You remembered the name.

She loved that stupid flower.

Kept it alive
without any spellwork.

If it's anything like that,

I get why you'd
wanna keep that page.

- How long ago?

- Five years.
You?

- A lot less.

So how long until, you know,
it feels

- I'm kind of still waiting.

- I just feel like I'm gonna be

this walking whatever-I-am
forever.

- I did too.

It starts like
this tight ball in your chest,

but over time, it gets lighter

because it just kind of spreads
into the rest of you.

- It's like your own personal
symbiote.

Yeah, kind of.

Except not murderous
and weirdly paper-focused.

Just, uh...

sad.

- Yeah.

- Damn.

I actually felt bad for him,
for what he's been through.

- He's a nice man,
but an evil king.

- It doesn't make sense.

He seems kind.

He seems sad.

I think we're finished.
It worked.

Before you go,
perhaps we should talk?

- I don't know
why he summoned them,

but I don't think we're gonna
get another chance at this.

If we don't chop down the tree,
he's screwed.

We're screwed!

- You said
you wish you could explain.

you accuse me
of being possessed.

- Right, apologize.

Does that sound like Margo
to you?

- Fine!

Maybe I was saying
what you wanted to hear,

'cause you never let up.

You keep trying to get me
to talk about something

I don't wanna talk about.

- Okay.
Fine, I get that.

There's no fixing Margo--
I mean me,

'cause chances are
if I had to relive it,

So stop asking me
to apologize for something

I don't feel sorry about.

The Conduit Tree's
that one over there.

- I'm fine here.

Go help the others
search the castle

for any remaining victims
of the sleeping curse.

He even offered to help him,
but Seb said no.

- Eliot, are you all right?

They cut down
Seb's tree.

- Eliot?
- It's now or never.

- Well, they're in a hurry.
- Gods, we're in trouble.

Here, take my extra knife.

- All the knives in the world

won't get us past
the Centurions.

- Do you have a better plan?

- I can explain.

Just--there will be
serious consequences if I do.

- You asked and I'm here.

- It's an instruction manual.
- For what?

Legend is, the seed
is pure potential.

The right nurturing, it can
grow into almost everything--

even an entire world.

- Well, if you want the page,

does that mean
you already have the seed?

- We're done talking.

Alice?

What are you doing to us?

- Me?

- I mean, you had us stumped
for a while.

you'd just keep spreading
yourself to other ones,

but you didn't.

For some reason,
you were limiting yourself.

Some of your spores
didn't try to spread.

Bax wasn't sure why

because fungi
can typically grow and grow.

And we have limits.

Try to juggle too much at once
and we're useless.

- It's a professor thing.
Just go with it.

- So I have Bax spreading you
too thin to affect your hosts

- No.

Don't worry, you'll be
a part of your host forever.

You're just getting quieter.

This is
the worst fucking job ever.

- Penny, are you okay?

to sell.

There was this huge debt
to pay.

they didn't ask any questions.

- A couple of?

- And they know
I have what they want.

- I don't think that's gonna be

the last person or thing
to come after it.

Don't blow up
my relationship with Josh.

And what did you do?

- I'm sorry.

You know, before?

- Don't do this to yourself.

- I ended your relationship.

Seems like I deserve whatever
pain's coming my way.

- That wasn't your fault.

You were just dealing
with some shit I set up

way before you took over.

- So in summation,

we're both equally skilled at
destroying our own happiness?

Those are the ones
worth banging.

You've just
had some shitty luck

with boys so far,
that's all.

It doesn't mean
you don't deserve love

or that you won't ever find it.
