[theme music concludes]

- [gentle music playing]
- [ducks quacking]

[birds chirping]

- [Kyra breathing heavily]
- [Darra] Hi.

[Darra] Thought you might be
a little bit thirsty after last night.

Thanks.
The dancing did get pretty energetic.

- I had a great time.
- Me too. [chuckles softly]

So I was, uh...

I was wondering if maybe
you'd like to do something?

You mean go out?

Yeah, but low-key,
because if Imogen gets a hint,

- I'll never hear the end of it.
- [chuckles]

Well, my dad and I usually
have lunch together on Sundays.

Why don't you come over?

Lunch with your stepdad
wasn't really what I had in mind.

You said you wanted low-key.
[chuckles softly]

Besides, you'll have
to deal with him eventually.

- Hmm.
- [Kyra chuckles]

See you at 12:30,
and thanks for the juice.

- [romantic music playing]
- [birds chirping]

[whimsical music playing]

[swooshes]

[Sean] Come in, Apinya.

- Take a seat.
- [ominous music playing]

Is there a problem?

I thought you should know that I've lodged
an appeal against Maxwell's dismissal.

- [clock ticking]
- Why would you do that?

It's my understanding
that Maxwell's magical experiment

caused considerable damage,
and put the students at risk.

Well, one mistake shouldn't cancel out
years of impeccable service.

I thought it only fair to warn you
that if my appeal is successful,

your time at the school will end.

I'm making good progress
with the students, particularly Kyra.

It would be a shame
to cut that relationship short.

I understand. I'll let you know
as soon as I have any news.

- When might that be?
- Hopefully in the next few days.

[ominous music playing]

[Lily] It's just not the same
without the professor.

[Darra] I never thought
I'd say this, but I miss him.

Apinya's a good teacher.

I thought you of all people
would miss Maxwell the most.

I do miss him, but I've admired
Apinya's work for a very long time.

- What's that?
- Apinya's first book, very hard to find.

- I'm gonna ask her to sign it.
- Teacher's pet.

[scoffs]

A History of Lost Magical Kingdoms.
How can a kingdom get lost?

I mean, I lose a sock sometimes,
but an entire kingdom?

- It's just careless.
- [swooshes]

- Good morning, class.
- [book thudding]

First up, a reminder
that your homework assignments

are due by the end of the day.

This morning, we will read and discuss

Shapeshifting:
How to be Someone You're Not.

Where's Kyra?

I hope she's not still suffering
after the swarm attack.

She's fine.
She's home having some me time.

- How did the swarm even get out?
- It wasn't my fault.

Who said it was?

Things go wrong,
Imogen always blames me.

Two words, Lily, birthday cake.

I didn't mess up the cake,
and I'm going to prove it.

- Good luck with that.
- Give it a rest, Imogen.

Fine, but then we're back
to your question.

How did the swarm get out?

The simplest explanation is that
the container was damaged,

perhaps as a result
of Maxwell's reckless experimentation.

Now, let's start on chapter 12.

[scoffs] The professor was never reckless,

and the simplest explanation
isn't always the right one.

True, but the swarm is aggressive.

It may have just forced
its way out of the container.

And overpowered you and attacked Kyra?

- That must've been scary.
- It was.

How exactly did the swarm overpower you?

I mean, you're meant to be
some kind of magical expert, right?

Professor at the Bangkok University
of Magic?

They don't give a position
like that to some hobgoblin.

- [Ruksy] Imogen!
- [Darra] Imogen's right.

You knew about the swarm, you must've
had some idea on how to defeat it.

- Is that my book?
- Yes, I was hoping you'd sign it.

It would be my pleasure.

[Apinya sighs]

[ominous music playing]

I'm most impressed, Ruksy.
A History of Lost Magical Kingdoms

isn't on most teenagers' must-read list.

Now, if you can please start
on chapter 12.

- [birds chirping]
- [leaves rustling]

[Kyra] Hey, Dad!
Doing a good job there.

[Steve] Thanks, sweetheart.

[Kyra] I'm really glad we moved here.
It's so peaceful.

I think your mom would have liked it.

Me too.

Hey, is it okay for a friend
to come over for lunch?

- Sure. Mathilda?
- No.

Do you remember Darra?
He was over one day shooting hoops.

Oh, yeah. Nice boy.

- [soft music playing]
- [chuckles softly]

- How about I do a big barbecue?
- You don't have to go to any trouble.

Sandwiches, then.

Okay , you can put in a bit of effort.
Just not too much, okay?

I hear and obey.

- [leaves rustling]
- [birds chirping]

It's not right, Ladder.

Imogen thinks
I'm just a pair of wings with a wand,

but I'm more than that.
I'm a pair of wings with a brain.

[Ladder creaks]

I'm going to show Imogen
what a brain with wings can do.

[whimsical music playing]

- Brain with wings. [chuckles]
- [Ladder creaks]

- [mystical music playing]
- [Ladder creaks loudly]

- [music intensifies]
- Yes, Ladder, I see it too.

[ominous music playing]

- [Darra] Where's Apinya?
- In the stacks. Why?

Could you give this to her?

- It's my protective penumbra assignment.
- Why can't you give it to her?

I'm going to Kyra's for lunch,
and I need to go home and get changed.

Oh, dressing up. This must be serious.

It's with her father.
I wanna make a good impression.

- I know a little spell.
- No magic.

[sighs]

When you hand that in,
please don't mention the swarm.

You were pretty tough
on Apinya this morning.

For good reason.

Maybe, but I don't want her
marking me down.

[chuckles softly]

- [ominous music playing]
- [footsteps approaching]

Imogen, I'm afraid we had
a little misunderstanding this morning.

I didn't mean to imply
misconduct on Maxwell's part.

It's simply that my priority
is the welfare of my students.

- So?
- Right now, I'm worried about Kyra,

particularly after all that
she and Darra have been through together.

- Been through?
- [chuckles] It's all right, Imogen.

I know about their search to find
the Temple of the Purple Lotus.

Kyra asked me to help make sense
of the visions she's been having.

- They're very disturbing.
- That's one word for them.

During the swarm incident,
Kyra had another vision.

Did she mention it?

- No.
- Are you sure?

- Yes.
- [Apinya] What about Darra?

They seem to be spending
a lot of time together.

- Darra doesn't tell me everything.
- Can you ask him?

I can't help Kyra
if I'm not fully informed.

Sure, whatever.

Getting into the DMI
is very important to you, isn't it?

It's what I've always wanted.

You're getting very good grades,
but that's no guarantee of entry.

It helps to have a sponsor,
someone who can speak on your behalf.

I'd be happy to be that person,
if I was certain that I could trust you.

[ominous music playing]

Keeping secrets
is no way to earn that trust.

Are you sure that Kyra said nothing
about her vision?

Excuse me, Apinya,
I need to borrow Imogen. [chuckles]

[ominous music playing]

Why are we here?

- Kyra's birthday cake.
- [Imogen] What about it?

- What am I supposed to be seeing?
- That's the tin the cake mix was in.

[scoffs] See the scorch marks?

- They were caused by magic.
- So?

So, that explains
why our friends turned into ornaments

when they ate the cake.

Somebody zapped the cake mix,
and... and it wasn't me.

- What's that?
- [dramatic music playing]

There are scorch marks
on the swarm container.

Maybe that's how it got loose.

- The swarm was zapped by magic too.
- So much for blaming it on Maxwell.

- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- Someone deliberately released the swarm.

Who would want to do that?

More importantly,
why would anyone want to do that?

[dramatic music intensifies]

[birds chirping]

- [soft music playing]
- [barbecue sizzling]

[Kyra] Dad, Darra's here!

[chuckles] Hey, Darra.
Good to see you again.

You too, sir.

Last I checked,
I hadn't been knighted, Darra.

- Please, call me Steve.
- Sure, Steve.

So much for not going
to a lot of trouble.

Well, you know me.
I don't do things by halves.

[Kyra chuckles]

Are you saying Apinya's been lying?

You can't be serious.

I'm just saying
Apinya's story doesn't add up.

Don't you think it's strange
how she was so evasive

when I asked her about the swarm?

- But why would she lie?
- I don't know,

but after seeing those scorch marks,

I'm sure someone deliberately
released the swarm.

- And affected the cake mix.
- Hm.

What makes you think it's Apinya?

Okay, I know this is a bit out there,

but what if Apinya wanted the swarm
to attack her and Kyra?

- That's ridiculous.
- Just go with me, okay?

- Apinya released the swarm...
- [pot creaks]

...but she needed to provoke it
to make an attack.

When she did,
she scorched the swarm container

and the cake mix container.

What reason would Apinya have to do that?

She's been asking Kyra
a lot of questions about Orb magic.

Maybe she wanted to see
what Kyra could do,

so she set this up to test her.

That means Apinya knew
Kyra was going to be in the library

- when the swarm was loose.
- She did.

She told Kyra to drop by
'cause she had a present for her.

It could still be a coincidence.

Nothing you said shows
Apinya had anything to do with it.

There is one thing.

Remember when I had to go back
to the library to get the cake mix?

I didn't think anything of it at the time,
but Apinya was acting kind of weird,

and she was in the same aisle
as the swarm container.

[gasps]
Lily, what are you doing here?

Okay, that's good.
We've established opportunity,

- so now we just need motive.
- [Ruksy] This is nuts.

Apinya could have any number of reasons
to be in that part of the library.

And don't forget, the swarm injured her.
Nobody would willingly let that happen.

Apinya might if she wanted
something badly enough.

And anyway, she knew
that Kyra would be able to save her

- with her Orb magic.
- What would Apinya have to gain?

Did I say I had all the answers?

[indistinct chatter]

You still haven't thought
of another explanation.

Which is?

Remember what's on the shelf
opposite the swarm?

The library is huge.

I don't know
what's on every shelf. Do you?

In this case, yes.

The Atlantean Shield.

The shield deflects magic,

but can also concentrate
sunlight into a powerful beam.

If the shield was activated,

it could have scorched the swarm
and cake mix containers.

Ruksy makes a good point.

Nearly ready.
Hope you brought your appetite, Darra.

- I certainly did. It smells great.
- [birds chirping]

So, did you two meet at basketball?

- Yes.
- No-- I mean...

Yeah, we see each other at basketball,
but, no, we met at the library.

- Doing, uh, research for school.
- [barbecue sizzling]

- Exactly.
- And how did you two get talking?

It was pretty silly, actually.

I was carrying a pile of books
and as I passed Darra, I dropped one.

A big one. And it landed right on my foot.

- [chuckles]
- It really hurt.

So I said sorry, and we got talking.

- And then magic happened.
- [chuckles]

- Then you don't go to Kyra's school?
- No, Darra goes to a private academy.

[Steve] Oh, really?

What do your parents do,
if you don't mind me asking?

Uh, my dad's a property developer.

Maybe you've, uh, heard of him.
Uh, Jarred Blackwell?

- As in Blackwell Developments?
- Yeah.

Kyra, can you help me
put these out, please?

- Okay.
- I'll take care of the sausages.

- You could've warned me.
- About what?

His father's the biggest
property developer in River City.

- So?
- So I'm serving his son

- supermarket sausages.
- Dad, Darra doesn't mind.

Oh, sweetheart,

all good relationships are based
on having things in common,

and you two are from
completely different worlds.

Oh, you mean like you and Mom?

But that's not the same.

A policeman from River City
and a martial arts instructor from Tokyo?

Sounds like different worlds to me.
[chuckles softly]

Darra's a good guy, Dad.
Don't judge him by his background.

I'm just gonna get another drink.

- [soft music playing]
- [barbecue sizzling]

It's really good of you
to take me into your home, Steve.

- [Steve] Sure.
- You put in so much effort for Kyra.

My father would never do the same for me.

Ever since Kyra's mom died,
it's just been the two of us,

which is why I always look out for her.

She's really lucky to have you.

[soft music playing]

- [Imogen] Tayla, you don't understand.
- [birds chirping]

It's a big deal to accuse a teacher.
What if I'm wrong about Apinya?

Look, in the short
but memorable time I've known you,

I've learnt a few things about you.

One, you love strawberry milkshakes
with double ice cream.

- True. And?
- [Tayla] You're stubborn.

If this is you trying
to be friendly, try harder.

Imogen, you're a good person, okay?

You wouldn't make an accusation
unless you really thought it was true.

Maybe. But what if I am wrong?
It'll go on my record.

I could blow my chances
of ever getting into the DMI.

I know that you think the DMI
is the pinnacle of existence,

but if you don't do this
and you're right about Apinya,

it'll eat you up.

Imogen...

just trust yourself.

- [dishes clanking]
- [soft music playing]

[Darra] What do you think?
Needs more olive oil?

- [glass clinking]
- [birds chirping]

Just a tad.

[soft music playing]

Mmm! Perfect.

- No magic, remember?
- I keep my promises.

Just happen to be a whiz
at making salad dressing.

[chuckles softly] Well, even without magic
you seem to have charmed Dad.

- Just another of my many hidden talents.
- Come and get it while it's hot.

- [ominous music playing]
- [breathes sharply]

- [Ladder creaks]
- [Imogen] No books, Ladder.

- I'm after evidence.
- [Ladder creaks]

- [Imogen sighs]
- [ominous music intensifies]

[blows]

The Atlantean Shield is covered in dust.

It hasn't been active in ages,
which means my theory holds.

Apinya is up to something.

Dad said Apinya's appointment
to our school was a little unusual.

Exactly.

What's a world-renowned magical expert
doing teaching us?

What do we have that no one else does?

- [dramatic music playing]
- Kyra.

Lily, you're a genius.

Apinya's a magical archeologist.
She's trying to find the temple

and she's using Kyra's visions
to lead her to it.

[sighs]

I'm sorry about giving you a hard time
about the cake.

Apology accepted.

- But like Ruksy said--
- We need proof.

And I have a plan to get it,
but it's risky. Are you in?

- Do trolls live under bridges? [chuckles]
- [dramatic music intensifies]

- [water running]
- You can put that in the fridge.

- [chuckling] Is that you?
- Isn't she cute?

[chuckles] Such chubby little cheeks.

Oh, I've got heaps more photos.
You want to see?

- No, he doesn't.
- Yeah, he does.

[sighs]

[Steve] That's Kyra's mom, Michiko.

[birds chirping]

[Darra] Kyra said
she died in a car accident.

- Five years ago.
- I still can't believe she's gone.

[cell phone buzzing]

Sorry, kids, I have to get to work.

We don't have
to keep looking at these.

- Sure we do. [chuckles]
- [Kyra chuckles]

What's this?

[Kyra chuckles]

This was taken
on my parent's honeymoon in Kyoto.

- That's my birth father, Lee.
- Do you ever see him?

No, he left when I was a baby.
Never heard from him again.

[dramatic music playing]

[gasps] It's a Tri-ling symbol.

- [dramatic music intensifies]
- [Kyra gasping]

Why is my mother wearing a magical symbol?

- You never said she was magical.
- She wasn't.

Dad!
This necklace Mom's wearing in this photo,

- do you know anything about it?
- She said your dad gave it to her.

- Did she say anything else about it?
- Well, it's all pretty vague now.

She never really talked much
about your dad. Why?

No reason. It's just an unusual necklace.

Good to see you again, Darra.
Come back anytime.

- Thanks, Steve.
- Bye, Dad.

- Thanks for a great lunch.
- Not too much effort?

Just right. [chuckles]

[gasps] So if my father gave
the necklace to my mother...

And your mother wasn't magical...

- [gasps]
- [dramatic music playing]

[birds chirping]

[Professor Maxwell]
It's the symbol of the Tri-ling Council.

Only members
of the innermost circle had them.

And the photo showed
your mother was wearing it?

My dad said
my birth father gave it to her.

Today's the first time I've ever seen it.

This can only mean one thing.

My father was a Tri-ling?

It seems so. And an important one at that.
Strange how you were never made aware.

You would have grown up to be
quite important to the Tri-ling hierarchy.

But you said I became a Tri-ling
by accident, the result of a random event.

A human accidentally caught
in a vortex between fairy and elf magic,

it seemed a reasonable conclusion.

But this means you were wrong.

Well, I'm happy to admit it.

Kyra, it appears
that you were born magical.

[ominous music playing]

- How come my parents didn't tell me?
- I have no idea. But for now,

I think it's best
that we keep it to ourselves.

But why?

Everyone should know
I'm really one of you.

Kyra, your parents must have had
a good reason

not to reveal that you were magical,
and until we find out what that reason is,

I think it's wise
that we err on the side of caution.

[dramatic music intensifies]

- [papers rustling]
- [footsteps approaching]

- Apinya, can I have a word?
- Of course, Lily. How can I help?

Imogen said you were asking about Kyra.

Yes.

[Lily] I know
you want to help her. I do, too.

She's such a good friend.

Is there something
you want to tell me, Lily?

Maybe I shouldn't.

Whatever you tell me
is in complete confidence.

- Do you promise?
- I promise.

Imogen told me Kyra had a vision
during the swarm attack.

That's right, Lily. Go on.

[Lily] Well, Kyra told Imogen,
when she was using her Orb magic,

- she saw the third key.
- Did she say where?

I really don't know
if I should be telling you this.

You've seen the damage
this quest for the keys has caused.

The sooner Kyra puts it behind her,
the better.

She said it was in a temple. [chuckles]
No, two temples on top of two rock towers.

It's a start. Did Kyra say anything else?

She said the temple looked like a pagoda.
[chuckles]

I guess she meant it was Chinese.

And she said it was high up
in the mountains.

She couldn't say which ones though.

I guess one mountain
looks just like any other. [chuckles]

Well done, Lily.
You've really helped Kyra.

I'm so glad.
Should we tell Professor Maxwell?

- He may know which temple Kyra saw.
- Don't worry, I'll take care of that.

- You won't tell Kyra I told you?
- I never break a promise.

You should go home now. And remember,
this is strictly confidential.

My lips are sealed. [chuckles]

[dramatic music playing]

[magical swooshing]

[intense music playing]

Apinya. We weren't expecting you.

- Is there a problem?
- The third key.

- I know where it is.
- How?

I convinced the students to trust me.

One of them told me about a vision
Kyra had after I released the swarm.

So your infiltration
of the school has paid off?

- As I told you it would.
- [music intensifies]

Where is the key?

In the temples on Mount Fanjing
in Southwest China. Let's go.
