Sky.
[emotionally tense music]
- [sighs] Andreas burnt the house down. - Yeah, I know.
He has a temper. [chuckles]
Always did.
Must have missed that bedtime story.
Do you mind taking this piece of shit back?
I know it's not really Andreas's.
[Saul] It's been a few months,
and you're already starting to sound like him.
- How did you even get in here? - [Saul] Harvey.
- You and I need to talk. - No, we don't.
You're gonna get caught, sneaking into the school late at night.
- After what Bloom did to get you out. - Look, I had a close call today, Sky.
And it made me realize it's only a matter of time before they find me.
What do you expect me to do?
I'm not gonna go into exile without seeing you.
I am saying I am sorry.
Okay. You said it.
You can go now.
Just tell me what I need to do to fix this.
Leave. Alfea. Blackbridge. All of it.
Leave, and never come back.
[sighs]
[emotionally tense music intensifies]
[door opens]
[door closes]
[Andreas] Saul!
How nice of you to join us.
How did you find me?
Luckily, some people still care about the rule of law.
- I'm so sorry. - [Rosalind] So different.
And yet you share the same weakness.
And that is why I never had kids.
[Saul sighs]
Take him to the East Wing. We've got room.
[suspenseful music]
[ethereal music plays]

♪ To an alternate reality ♪
♪ See you standing right in front of me ♪
♪ Seeing everything I wanna see... ♪

♪ Hope the other me in outer space ♪
- ♪ Didn't go and make the same mistakes... ♪ - Um... [chuckles]
- I swear you gave me all the heavy stuff. - You volunteered for this.
Uh, I volunteered for a simple banquet errand
so we could leave school and see Sebastian.
Then someone came up with additional ideas to make the banquet really sing.
The Alumni Banquet is a big deal.
Every important Alfea grad from the past 50 years will be there.
[giggles]And you want them to know that you helped with the centerpieces?
You really wanna know?
Yeah.
Tonight was always step one of my 20-year plan.
Headmistress Dowling would sing my praises to the alums.
I'd intern for one of them at the Capitol, come back to Alfea to teach,
work my way up.
Eventually, at an Alumni Banquet, Dowling would step down,
I'd become headmistress.
That look's why I don't tell anyone about my 20-year plan.
No! I guess I'm just...
I'm realizing the furthest I've thought ahead is, like, lunch.
To be honest, I'm wavering on that.
[Aisha] You've never thought about your life after Alfea?
I mean, back in Gardenia, all I wanted was to be out of high school, but...
I dunno. Live a normal life. Be an artist or engineer.
Then Alfea happened.
- [Aisha] We've got ten minutes. - [bell rings]
She's keeping the missing fairies in the East Wing.
[Sebastian] Mm-hmm.
We looked for a way in. Rosalind has every entrance guarded.
Those guards are gonna have their hands full tonight.
My fellow alums are quite the VIPs now. They're gonna need protecting.
You mean we break into the East Wing tonight?
During the banquet?
[Sebastian] Or whenever. No presh.
What's a few more fairies without magic?
Rosalind probably won't go after one of you.
And probably is good enough, right?
I know it's risky,
but after the vote tonight, it's gonna get a whole lot harder to take Rosalind down.
What vote?
Queen Luna appoints the headmistress, but officially the alums vote to swear her in.
It's normally a formality, but...
[Sebastian] Rosalind hasn't seen these people in 16 years.
So she's gonna use tonight to remind us all who she is.
If it goes well, she's locked in as headmistress. If it doesn't...
I wonder what the most powerful people in Solaria'd think
if they found out Rosalind is stealing magic from her students?
You just need proof.
Come on, we need to get back.
Has he called?
[Sebastian] Silva?
No.
The less we know about where Saul is, the safer he'll be.
I know.
I guess when Sky told me he asked him to leave, I just didn't think he'd...
go.
Well, not-father and not-son relationships are complicated.
[footsteps crunching gravel]
No prizes for finishing early.
I get to leave. That's a prize.
I assume you heard from Riven what happened at Saul's house.
You mean my house?
Yeah, I heard.
[Andreas] Tonight will be long and tedious.
Pompous alums who haven't done a hard day's work in their lives.
This usually helps me deal.
- [Kat] Riven! - [Andreas] Take the afternoon.
Adjust your attitude.
His, too, by the way.
You've both been in a mood that's unpleasant.
- [clattering] - [Riven scoffs]
- There's a latch. - Yeah, I know there's a latch.
All this pent-up frustration, Riv. I guess the rumors are true.
That the three-way was a little too much for you.
[Riven] It wasn't too much for me.
It just ran its course.
Anyone tell him that?
- [mystical tinkling] - [Terra giggles]
[Kat] You modelling that on me?
- Not bad. - [giggles]
Whoa. Are you growing a rainforest or...
Oh dear, sorry. My mind's in a million places.
[clattering echoes]
[Ben] Philip, just go. Yeah.
Seems different this week.
It's difficult working under Rosalind but usually he has a spark.
- It's gone out. - Because of Devin?
- What I did? - What Rosalind did.
No, it's bigger than that.
I overheard him on the phone to someone from Malacoy.
Malacoy Academy?
They offered him a job a few years ago. He said he'd never leave Alfea. But...
I dunno. I don't know what it'll mean for me and Sam.
Special delivery. Don't worry, I'll help.
We actually have help.
Uh, yeah, you really don't need to.
Hi.
- This is your chair. - [Grey] Just need...
- I can... I can move. - I was going anyway.
[Aisha] I can move. Oh.
[Aisha chuckles awkwardly]
- I was going anyway. Um... - [Aisha] Oh.
Okay.
I'll see you guys all later.
That was, um... something.
Proper painful.
We were texting, and now we're not texting, and just...
Yeah, it's weird. Can we drop it?
[door opens]
[unsettling music]
[mystical tingling]
You okay?
Hmm? Of course, yeah.
I'm gonna head to my room. Gotta shower and get ready.
See if Grey's recovered from whatever that was. See ya.
- [smooches] - [mystical tingling]
[door opens]
Are you okay?
[quietly] Come here.
So, remember how I was taking Sam's anger away by magic?
- Mm-hmm. - I stopped 'cause of what you said.
About being worried it was all being bottled up.
And he's all good, it seems.
That's the problem. He's not.
Just a second ago when he looked at Rosalind, he was full of rage,
but he smiled through it and lied to my face.
He's keeping something from me about her. The sooner she's gone, the better.
So, tonight is split into two events.
The mixer where the alums and the students chat,
and then the banquet itself, which is just alums and VIPs.
Mm. Let me guess, you're a VIP?
My mum's not coming this year, but, uh, my uncle is.
I have a lot to talk to him about, but, um,
I'll work him during dinner whilst you get proof.
Can we trust him?
Yeah, he sees people for who they truly are.
And he is not afraid to say it. There is no love lost between him and Rosalind.
Well, at least somebody sees her for who she really is.
- [eerie music] - [swishing]
[terrified squeaking]
[decompression chamber hisses]
[rat squeaks]
[panicked squeaking]
- [clacking chittering] - [rat squeals loudly]
[bones crunching]
[gasps]
The guests are arriving. Everything is ready.
I suppose we should get going.
[Andreas] The guards know what to do.
Time for dinner and a show.
[rock music plays]
I think that's Duke Hammerström.
Duke Hammer-who?
[Stella] Hammerström.
He's like, um... like a Solarian Jeff Bezos.
He perfected thought-based purchasing. You think it, you buy it. A nightmare.
Duke Oscar Hammerström, Mind Fairy, graduated '82.
Now has a monopoly on Otherworld products.
- Whoa, you made note cards for the alums? - Mm-hmm. They're conversation starters.
I'm not sure that's how conversations work.
Ah, Aimee Leroy, so nice to meet you.
Just the other day I was making tea,
and it reminded me of your breakthrough theory on elemental fluid mechanics.
- Yeah, they're not all winners. - [laughter]
But we have a few hours of mingling before we storm the East Wing.
I'm gonna hang with you and make sure we temper whatever nuggets are on here.
It's cute.
So, is everyone who went to Alfea like Duke Hammerstrong?
Are there no normal jobs in the Otherworld? No accountants or...
Of course there are. It's just most of them didn't go to Alfea.
I mean, the reason why all the alums are so powerful is because
this school is the best.
Think I found the best way into the East Wing.
And don't freak out, but I do think it's easiest if I just go by myself.
- No way. - What?
It's fine, I'm...
Plus, if... if I get caught, I can worm my way out with Rosalind.
- [knocking on door] - Um... yeah, hold that thought.
May I help you?
Nicked this from Rosalind's office. Fancy a quick pre-drinks drink?
I'm... I'm kinda busy right now, but... I'm sure Riven's free.
Ah, much to discuss. We're not...
I may have ratted him out to gain Rosalind's trust,
which failed miserably and...
- I... - I'm really sorry, Beatrix.
- I just don't have time right now. - [chuckles softly]
[laughter inside suite]
[R&B music plays]
Ooh... Aah. It is a nice bottle of champers.
Nice enough to make up for burning my house down?
Ah, your house wasn't that great anyway. [chuckles]
Mm... At least you got to get a bit of use out of your old bed.
I'm surprised it wasn't in flames when I got there.
What happened? Couldn't find her pilot light?
[scoffs] Curious, bud. Do you think that's funny?
Mm.
I'm just jealous.
Last time I got screwed was by Beatrix and Rosalind, and not in a good way.
You still don't... remember anything?
No. Only thing I remember is being served up on a platter by my girlfriend
and Rosalind mind fucking me.
[sighs]
What did Rosalind want?
No idea.
It's all a blur.
Doesn't matter. [clears throat]
Only thing that matters is me realizing how much of a bitch Bea was.
Mm-hmm.
Happy it's over.
[knocking on door]
[Riven] Come in.
I'm gonna hop in the shower.
- What the fuck's going on? - Well, that's a great question.
But I'm gonna need you to be a tad more specific.
Something's up between you and Beatrix, but she won't tell me.
[scoffs] Beatrix being cagey. Shocker.
[sighs]
It's over.
Jesus, I didn't realize I had to report everything to you.
What about us?
Whatever happened, it shouldn't change what we...
There is no "we," Dane.
There is no "us."
I thought we were clear about that.
[sighs]
Look,
I'm sorry, okay, but...
it's not about you.
It never was.

[Musa] Those about the alums?
Yeah, helps me organize my thoughts. I know it's cringe. [chuckles]
[snickers] Aisha does the same thing.
Hmm. [chuckles]
Look, I wouldn't say this if I literally couldn't feel people's emotions,
but Aisha is 100% into you.
Don't give up.
[chuckles]
Sam will be out in a sec.
[door closes]
[Musa] Hm.
[suspenseful music]
[glass clinking]
The hell are you doing?
- Sam, I was just... - Looking through my shit. Right.
Why do you have Eldwyn Amalgam in your bag? And a syringe?
- I was just cataloging stuff for my dad. - Sam, stop lying, it's me.
Rosalind is a problem.
Somebody has to do something.
- We are. We're gonna expose her... - That's not enough. It's not good enough!
- I know you're angry. - No, she is ruining my family.
My dad is a shell of himself, thinking of leaving...
- Okay, but let's just talk about this. - No, no, no.
No more talk. No, she has to pay.
Sam, I've been taking your anger.
For... for weeks. With my magic.
Every time you got angry with Rosalind, I took it away.
Every time I took it, I didn't realize, but it builds and it builds.
- I didn't know. And... - You've been messing with my head?
I just wanted you to be happy.
You've been messing with my head and you didn't tell me.
[Musa] I'm so sorry.
But this is a mistake that I've made. You can see that.
This isn't you.
You're not a killer.
- Sam. Sam... - [angrily] Don't fucking touch me.
[door slams closed]
[exhales shakily]
[Latin urbano pop music plays]
I assume the guards will clear out once the banquet starts.
If not, maybe one of you can form a distraction.
- Don't you all look lovely? - [chuckles] Big night.
Bigger than you know.
Walk with me.
- That doesn't seem good. - Yeah, neither does this.
I'm choosing to exist in the positive. Keep me posted.
Uncle Arthur!
- [Arthur] Stella! Oh! - [Stella giggles]
So, just the two of us, shall we try some real human conversations?
I'm not a robot.
Don't tell anyone, but I absolutely loathe these things.
- Reed, nice to see you! - Thank you.
Money and status. Status and money.
- What a dreadful existence. - [Bloom] Hm.
But... you need them to vote you in.
I do. I do.
Which is why I'd like you with me by my side today.
There's a... a seat next to me at the banquet.
I thought only VIPs were invited to the banquet.
You're the first fairy to transform in generations.
How much more IP can you get?
- And I'm here to prop you up. - She catches on quick.
And what happens if I don't feel like being used?
[Rosalind sighs]
That is Field Marshal Bavani Selvarajah,
Commanding Officer of the Solarian Army.
I wonder what she'd say if she knew that you and your friends
attacked her caravan and broke out Saul Silva?
I think she might be angry.
Shall we find out?
Field Marshal.
Rosalind. And who do we have here?
This is my star pupil.
The fairy who transformed. Bloom.
It's very nice to meet you.
How are you so comfortable right now?
Mm. Practice.
When we were in Linphea,
I got dragged to a lot of fundraiser things with my parents.
Just remember that all these adults were our age at one point.
Aimee Leroy. Her, I have to talk to her.
[indistinct chattering]
Of course.
Thanks. Bye.
Is that...
A notecard. On Aimee Leroy.
- Oh! Marry him! - [Sebastian] We need to talk.
- Over here. Come on. - [Aisha] Yeah.
[Stella] Then out of nowhere,
Rosalind just... just attaches it to my back.
- I know I'm not perfect, but... - The tracking gem is a bit much.
- Yes. - Everyone back home agrees.
Thank you. I mean, my mum thinks I'm some sort of delinquent. [chuckles]
I know who you are. Don't worry.
Think you can talk her into taking it out?
You know you get a pristine report from me, love.
But Rosalind's the one who's got your mother's ear these days.
What if she was gone?
Can't imagine you like someone outside the family having quite so much influence.
[Arthur] Hmm.
Whatever my feelings are about that,
I certainly wouldn't be so foolish as to air them publicly.
- [server] Champagne, sir? - Thank you. Too kind.
- Now, where is that suitemate of yours? - Hmm.
- Which one? - [Arthur] Stella!
[chuckling] There's only one.
The fairy who transformed.
Yes. Bloom.
Of course you're interested in Bloom.
When the Burned Ones attacked, I knew what to do.
Earlier in the evening
Rosalind had been working with me at the Stone Circle to tap into my magic.
I recall many similar days training with you.
It paid off.
Richard has been Mayor of Blackbridge for decades now.
- Universally loved. - [Bloom chuckles softly]
- How's your wife? - [Richard] Fine, thank you.
[Aisha] I've sent her 20 texts.
She's not responding.
She hasn't left Rosalind's side.
She isn't going to. She's seated next to Rosalind at the banquet.
- She can't go to the East Wing. - No.
But it's not the end of the world as long as somebody else does.
- Looks like we're up. - Are you sure we shouldn't wait?
You have to move quickly. Bloom is powerful.
If Rosalind accesses that power,
she could vaporize the entire room or control minds...
Got it. Rosalind plus Bloom equals bad news.
Yeah.
[cell phone vibrates]
Turn it off or I'll fry it.
- [Terra] Sam wants to kill her? - Now he does.
- Obviously, that's not him talking. - And you've no idea where he went?
He hasn't been answering my texts.
- But maybe I can take his anger away... - Have you learned nothing?
When I saw you do that to Aisha, I warned it was a bad idea.
And you've kept doing it. To my brother. And now he's on the...
[alums chatter indistinctly]
...brink of becoming a murderer and you wanna do it again? Smart.
Let's find him before he does something he can't take back.
[soaring suspenseful music]
[Beatrix] So I'm relegated to the commoners.
I assumed you didn't want to come.
I don't. But if somebody's going to sit with you, it should be me
Not the Otherworld's blandest water biscuit.
- Un-fucking-believable. - Don't make a scene.
[scoffs] Right.
Wouldn't want to ruin Rosalind's mysterious plan for the evening, would I?
[laughter, chattering in background]
- [sighs] - [Dane] What?
[laughter]
- We're leaving. - Excuse me?
- This is dumb. We're leaving. - I'm talking with my friends.
[scoffs] About what?
Your macros? Your best deadlift?
How to avoid accidentally picking up a book?
I used to think there was more to you than this.
The bravado was a disguise for a scared little girl, but really
you're just a nasty piece of work.
And the sad thing is you think people are scared of you.
[chuckles] They're not.
- They just don't like you. - [Beatrix snickers]
[Dane] Sorry about that. Where were we?
[Riven] Uses the opportunity to sweep my leg.
[Beatrix] You can be mean to me.
You can flirt with the dumb boys.
You can do literally anything.
He will never love you.
Know that.
[tense music]
Let's go. The East Wing is this way.

[Sky] Thought you were off doing secret agent shit.
[chuckles] Me too.
Rosalind has other ideas.
Aisha and Flora are on it,
so I have to make sure Rosalind doesn't try anything else. What?
What?
[chuckles awkwardly] You... you just look...
Can't believe you're my girlfriend.
[Bloom chuckles]
[Stella] ...also feel terrible.
[Arthur] Hmm.
What are you doing here?
Rosalind invited me.
Oh, thank God. Someone with something to say.
I want to hear it all.
Now I wonder why this is empty?
Thank you.
Of course he's confused. His girlfriend's been playing with his mind.
That's not what I meant.
Sorry, mate. Give me two. Custom cocktail.
[Musa] I think I got through to him.
Sam's not a killer, and he knows it.
[Terra] I hope you're right. If someone finds out what he's been planning...
Come with me. Now.
[Sam sighs]
That way.
[tense music]
- Sure this is the right way? - I think so.
[low snarling]
[slithering chitters]
[classical music plays]8
[mystical tingling]
- Do you know Sebastian? - I've seen him in town.
Such a disappointment.
Andreas tried to make a decent Specialist out of him, but...
Blood from a stone.
Andreas, one of these days, you must come to the Capitol
and let Stella's old etiquette teacher give you a lesson.
Cute little My Fair Lady moment.
At least Sky was lucky enough to be raised by Saul,
although talk about the blind leading the blind.
- [chuckles] Uncle Arthur! - Oh, come on. Now, you know it's true.
I mean, no fault to you, but if you and my niece had stayed together...
[mock gasps] ...scandal!
Granted, you seem to have landed on your feet.
Landed the fairy who transformed.
[chuckles] Well done.
- I didn't land anything. - Maybe some water.
Oh, no, don't... don't be that girl.
- If you'll excuse me a moment. - [Arthur] Mm-mm-mm-mm.
A little more of the other.
Rosalind.
Sorry, um, things were just... they were getting heated at the table.
- Thank you. - Maybe just, um, tone it down a bit.
- Everybody's so delicate. - No, you were just being a royal dick.
What did you say to me?
Oh, I'm sorry. Would you like me to say it louder?
[Andreas laughs]
[hiccups] You realize you are nothing. Yes?
Less than nothing.
I have household cleaning staff who are more important than you.
[Stella] Uh, don't talk to him like that.
You cannot come here and disrespect my friends.
Every comment out of your mouth has been a thinly,
or not so thinly, veiled insult.
- And you're drunk. - [hiccups]
Yes, I'm being that girl.
Go get some water.
[sighs]
Your mum was right.
You've changed.
What a shame. You really wanted that gem out too.
He's an absolute prick, but I need him.
For the vote?
And other things.
Why are you so cryptic?
Just can't figure you out.
You threaten me and my friends then invite my boyfriend to sit with me.
You act like we're rivals one second, then...
You think I'm some sort of evil mastermind, don't you?
It's my fault, I suppose.
It is a persona I cultivate.
First, I'll level with you.
I would never turn you and your friends in. I'd lose your trust.
And do you know how bad it would make me look?
This room is full of people who want to see me fail.
I'm cryptic because every move I make has to be bulletproof or they will pounce.
They all love you.
Nobody really loves the powerful ones. You'll learn that soon enough.
[exhales sharply] Luckily, fear works too.
Cryptic again.
Yeah, you have a knack for it.
I have to have a little fun.
Sorry, I have been bullshitting a lot.
But there's one thing you need to know is true.
You are my star pupil, Bloom.
Transforming, taking down the Burned Ones, that's just the beginning of your story.
A story I'm lucky to witness.
You will shape the Otherworld more than any of these fairies
and, truthfully, more than your friends.
It won't be easy.
I'm on your side.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I have cryptic business to attend to.
Did we already come this way?
Unclear. Every hallway looks the same.
Terrifying.
What was that?
[message alert chimes]
Right, yes, of course. [chuckles]
You're not gonna respond? You're killing me.
My life is like a pie chart. I only have so much room...
No, we're not doing this again.
Do not use your goals as an excuse. This is deeper than that.
Look, I don't like to do things I'm not good at,
and I'm not good at this stuff. [sighs]
What stuff?
I've never been with a guy.
Like, at all. Ever.
And, I know some things just happen naturally,
but what if they don't?
What if I make sacrifices for something I'm gonna fail at?
Or worse, something that's gonna end up hurting me.
[Flora] Hey, you want to protect yourself, I totally get that.
But trust me, falling for someone is not something to protect yourself from.
Aisha, we are designed to fall in love.
Our bodies release hormones when our gut bacteria is compatible.
How crazy is that?
And yet we still resist. Why?
To avoid getting hurt. To maintain some illusion of control.
Losing control is the best part.
And, yes, it'll probably end.
When it does, it could be the worst feeling ever.
But that's life too.
Don't push life away.
I think we're here.
[Flora sighs]
[door creaks eerily]
[tense suspenseful music]
[Aisha] This must be the lab, but...
[gate creaks open]
- [creepy chittering] - [Flora] Can you smell something?
[sniffs]
Alcohol. It's been sterilized.
- [slithery chittering] - [Flora gasps]
[eerie creaking in distance]
[fluttering]
[Flora] I'm gonna close that just in case.
We need evidence. An empty lab is not proof.
- And... - [unsettling fluttering]
- Did you hear that? - [chittering]
[Flora] The lights! [flips switch rapidly]
Hang on, let me.
[ominous suspenseful music]
[soft chittering]
[Aisha] Maybe there's something wrong with the plug?
[suspenseful music intensifies]
Got it.
Aisha!
[Aisha yelps]
[creature chitters]
[Aisha] That way!
[slithery snarling]
[Aisha] Got it!
- [chittering] - [mystical warbling]
[mystical tingling]
Stop. Stop channeling. I don't think your magic works.
- [Aisha] Where is it? - I don't know.
- [chittering] - [Flora] Over there.

[Flora] Magic might not work.
How about chemistry?
[high-pitched squealing]
- [Bloom] That's it? - Yeah, we've got it.
[Bloom] It looks like a pile of goo.
We have a video of Rosalind's literal dungeon in the East Wing.
Plus photos of that book.
And Flora, Terra, and I saw what she did to Devin.
I don't know if that's enough. Maybe we need more proof.
We can't wait. We won't have this many influential people together again.
What if we're wrong?
Rosalind knows that we broke Silva out.
- We have to take her down. - No, she hasn't told anyone.
She said she's not going to, and I...
I know that I shouldn't, but I... I do,
I... I... I believe her.
- It's complicated. - Hm. It's actually pretty simple.
Cliché even.
An outsider all your life. Get a taste of the inner circle and can't get enough.
- You don't know what you're talking about. - I know exactly what. I lived it.
You seem to forget that this was my life.
Your 15 minutes are gonna get people killed.
- [Bloom chuckles incredulously] - If you won't do the right thing, I will.
[Arthur] ...stays in the right hands.
Hands powerful enough to contain its unbroken might.
So, what do you say we get this vote over with
so that we can all keep drinking?
[suspenseful music]
Rosalind is not who she seems.
[Musa] I was trying to help him, Terra!
- Please don't be angry at me. - People need to feel things, Musa.
I can't help how I feel.
[Terra] Is that Sam?
[Terra breathes shakily]
- Is he... - [Ben] He'll be fine, love.
You two should talk.
[emotionally charged music]
[Sam] Remember when we met?
Of course.
You said I sounded like the absence of chaos.
A lot to throw on someone you've just met.
Enya was easier to stomach. But I got what you meant.
I don't know when things changed, but my life's now full of chaos.
All of our lives are.
I know why you wanted to take some of that chaos away.
I'm not mad at you for that.
Of course, I'm not a killer.
But I'm not okay, Musa.
Not because of what you did.
What is it?
[mystical tingling]
I'm leaving Alfea.
No, no. Sam, this is just temporary. You're just confused.
Except you can feel how I feel.
I'm not confused.
Not anymore.
- We can fix this. How can we fix this? - Musa.
You, us... it's been the only good thing in my life for a while.
But it's not enough.
[Terra] So, you're just giving up?
[Ben] Marco agreed to keep what happened between us, as long as I got Sam help.
So get Sam help, and...
You know I can't keep teaching here. And-
Don't take me away from school.
- Don't take me away from my friends. - As though I could if I wanted to.
You belong here.
But Sam and I must go.
What if we take Rosalind down?
It's a nice thought.
But she's... she's trickier than you think.
After torturing him in her lab,
after stealing his magic,
Rosalind let that student die in her office.
[shocked muttering]
Devin deserved better.
Solaria deserves better.
[Rosalind] I hate to break protocol,
but there may be a few minor inconsistencies
with her Highness's theory.
[Stella] Devin!
[Rosalind] About a month ago, my friend Mayor Quinn called me.
Two fairies, recently released from their studies at Alfea,
went missing in Blackbridge.
They were found days later, catatonic.
Bitten. I offered my help.
But until we found answers, he swore me to secrecy.
He didn't want to cause panic.
I have to admit, I was stumped
until I borrowed a text from the Royal Archives,
with Arthur's permission.
In it, I found an ancient creature called a scraper,
a native of The Realm of Darkness.
It feeds on magic.
I realized that's what had happened to those poor fairies.
[confused muttering]
- [gasping] - [scraper chitters]
I've been studying a scraper here at the school since we captured it.
It wasn't until Devin was found
that I got the answers I needed.
I was able to bring him back from near death.
All thanks to Benjamin Harvey's daughter,
who discovered an amalgam that was able to revive all three fairies.
I probed their minds and the picture became clear.
The scrapers were being called upon by a Blood Witch.
[shocked gasping]
[Rosalind] Our old foes have discovered how to steal our magic.
If Blood Witches continue using scrapers,
fairy magic,
therefore fairies,
will cease to exist.
Clearly, despite my efforts to keep my investigation secret,
some of you sensed danger and took action.
Your courage will be needed in the coming days,
as we face our real enemy.
Thank you for joining us here.
Students, for now, you are dismissed.
[alums mutter indistinctly]
Except for you, Bloom.
- Stella, are you okay? - I'm fine. I just need a moment.
He wasn't dead. I didn't kill him.
We were wrong. I was so sure we were right.
But we were wrong.
Wonder what else you could be wrong about.
[chuckles softly] Go.
Wow.
A genuine fairy godmother.
[Riven chuckles] You know, that...
[clears throat] ...that deserves a drink.
You led with fairy godmother. I'm not rewarding that.
What? My godmother's hot as fuck.
Does this normally work for you? Bad boy with a heart of gold.
I dunno, you tell me.
- Is it working? - No.
But I did just find out I'm not a murderer so...
Lucky for you "not a murderer" is exactly what I'm looking for these days.
[under breath] Oh my God.
[Grey] Leroy was great, you know. Hammerström was...
[Aisha] I avoided. Too drunk.
[Grey] Smart.
He was literally just talking at me for, like, 45 minutes.
I'm sure I could list all the drinks I smelt on his breath.
[both chuckle]
Oh...
Might be able to squeeze in a swim.
Mm. Gotta keep that schedule, I guess.
It's been a rough day for me. Need to clear my mind.
Mm-hmm.
So, see you at the river in ten?
Or do you need 15 so you can do some sit-ups?
[laughs]
And I'd go with the new Speedo.
[pop music plays]
Hm.
♪ I took the jacket I was leaving at yours... ♪
We will find the Blood Witches who did this and eliminate them.
What resources do you need?
For the moment, I have everything I need right here at the school.
I wanted you to meet Bloom for a reason.
Not only is she a powerful young fairy,
but inside of her burns the magic of legend.
The Dragon Flame.
- [gasping] - [man] The Dragon Flame!
Which means that Bloom is the key to saving our world.

I know. It's a lot.
When we first spoke at the Stone Circle, you said the Blood Witches
were the ones who kidnapped me and held me at Aster Dell.
Is that because of this thing inside me?
The Dragon Flame.
It is.
What about my birth parents? Do they have it, too, or are they...
I... I wasn't lying back then.
I don't know where you came from.
But the Blood Witches will.
We'll fight them and we'll work it out.
You've kept so much from me. I don't know if I can trust you.
[clicks tongue] Maybe this will help.
- What is this? - It's a pardon.
[Bloom] Silva.
[Rosalind] I've been working Arthur for a week for that damn thing.
Stella almost fucked it up this afternoon, but...
I don't understand.
- Why are you... - It's time to put aside our differences.
We have a common enemy.
The Blood Witches are a scourge on the Otherworld.
Every time we drive them out, they come crawling back.
She's right. And if they are gathering strength to make a move,
we need to stop them before it's too late.
