[Mischa whines]
[Jessa shushes her]
You’re OK. We’re OK.
She needs to shift so you can get your body back.
I know, Brax. Don’t scare her.
I know you don’t want to be locked up anymore.
I promise it’s not forever.
[Mischa whines]
Just focus and you’ll be able to shift back.
[Mischa growls]
[all gasps]
[suspense music]
[buzzing]
I had no idea.
She’s amazing.
She’s you.
We can switch back now.
[soft music]
Her to her and me to me, so make it be.
[buzzing]
That was beautiful. Thank you.
Maybe you can still shift? Now that you know how.
[Mischa gasps]
I can’t. I can’t reach her.
Let’s get some sleep.
[crickets chirping]
[Brax] Do you think you’ll try again?
No. That’s not the answer.
You’ll get there. When it’s time.
Someday.
I’m not even trying to catch you
and yet here you are.
[suspense music]
Off campus, after curfew... Why am I not surprised.
-I can explain. -It’s my fault.
You realize there are things on my schedule
other than acting as truant officer.
[suspense music]
So... no demerits?
No demerits.
Just go to your rooms. And stay there.
Thanks, yes, right away.
[Kristov] What do you have there?
Um... Nothing. Just something I found?
I can guess from where.
Stay out of trouble for the next twenty-four hours.
At least until this Council meeting is over.
I had no idea how good it would feel
to be free of the suppression spell.
To feel the magic.
But now I’m... normal again. Weak.
Mischa?
‘Night, Jessa.
[door closes]
Jonathon LeBron! Jonathon LeBron!
Jonathon...
The Intertoad is supposed to announce visitors
when they enter the staircase.
Clearly it’s defective.
What can I do for you?
Carmen Balari would like you at today’s Council meeting.
Of course I have many other obligations
without involving myself in politics.
We appreciate that.
But we really could use your expertise.
I take it this is about the new door to Faerie.
Some Councilors are worried.
They know you’ve studied the ancient works,
I’m hoping you can reassure them...?
Happy to be of service.
[door hisses open]
-Welcome to Stratford. -This way, please.
[soft music]
-Nice to see you Carmen. -Jonathon.
mom!
[Carmen sighs]
I’ve missed my boys.
[soft music]
[knock on the door]
What are you doing here?
I didn’t see you at school.
I’m taking the day off.
Wait! I’m sorry!
I’ve never heard you apologize.
That’s fair.
You working with Elda...
That really hurt.
But I shouldn’t have reacted like I did.
I should’ve asked how you felt.
I felt invisible.
That’s on me. I’m your friend.
For what it’s worth,
I shouldn’t have helped Elda, it was stupid and mean.
I’m not like her.
So we’re OK.
This isn’t just about yesterday.
When Mischa showed up, I was so happy for you.
You got your mom back, and a brand new sister
and I thought we would celebrate it together,
like we usually do. But we didn’t.
And I realized... you didn’t need me.
You’ve always been there for me.
Mmh. Kind of my point.
Terra, I... I really am sorry.
You should get to school.
Isn’t it time for Santra’s test?
Your mom’s just letting you skip?
She’s at the Council meeting.
They want her advice on security.
I guess this thing with Faerie
is some kind of sign about the Dragon King?
[Jessa gasps] Well, I guess I should go.
See you soon?
Yeah, probably.
[soft music]
OK everyone,
please put all your notes and study material away.
She didn’t say anything to you about missing class?
Uh uh.
Nice to have you back.
Can I go find Jessa?
No. She’ll have to make up the test another time.
Are you kidding me? She should get an F.
Let’s all worry about our own work.
You’ve got this.
[suspense music]
[door closes]
[magical buzzing]
[Carmen] This issue is larger than Stratford.
If the Faerie Realm is indeed reviving,
it affects all Supernaturals.
Which is why we’re here in person to investigate.
Unfortunately,
the door has no longer made itself available.
Not even to our Fae members. They’ve all tried.
Then perhaps you can explain to me
how unauthorized students were able to conjure it?
I wish I knew.
But I’m not willing to risk the safety
of children to investigate the question.
If it was ever really here.
[suspense music]
Of course it was here. We all saw it.
Isn’t the return of the Faerie Realm good news?
Unless it means the Dragon King is reviving, too.
Why would it mean that?
Kristov? This is your area of expertise.
Thank you Yufon.
Our esteemed friend is not wrong.
Early texts suggest that when lost doors begin to appear,
the last to open will be the tomb of the Dragon King.
[gasps]
[Kristov] The prophecy is very clear:
The Dragon King cannot rise without help.
As long as all the Dragon-marked
remain confined in the Cloisters,
you have nothing to fear.
What about the rumors we’ve been hearing
that some Dragon-marked
have escaped from the Cloisters?
We need eyes and ears in every Supernatural Enclave.
To be safe.
I’ll be happy to set up a task force
to help the Enforcers track down
any loose Dragon-marked.
Let’s not get carried away.
I don’t think that’s necessary.
Jonathon... Yufon may be right.
What...?
This town counts on you to keep them safe.
If that means a local task force
to hunt Dragon-marked...
Shouldn’t you at least consider it?
Let’s call a vote. All in favor?
Wait.
Let’s take a lunch
and address this when we get back.
Very well. 90 minutes please.
Can we talk about this?
[Jessa gasps]
[magical buzzing]
[soft music]
You don’t have to stay. I got this.
I need food.
[soft music]
-So... lunch? -Sounds good.
I’m glad you’re feeling better.
You know, you can stop. I know things are weird.
I know why you didn’t come visit me.
I meant to.
[soft music]
OK, explain it to me then.
What happened to you in Faerie...
I don’t know. I’m still trying to figure it out, too.
[soft music]
It’s OK. We’ve missed you.
-[Jae grunts] -[all laugh]
Everything else in this school is magic,
but we still have to do tests just like in human school.
What’s going on?
Does this have anything to do with your Shifting power?
It’s all I can think about.
I don’t envy Jessa. I don’t. I like who I am.
But if I were more like her, I could access my power.
You know what makes Jessa so strong?
[soft music]
She’s fearless.
She isn’t afraid to take what she wants.
What’s the quote?
“Well behaved women rarely make history.”
[Jessa pants]
[magical buzzing]
You missed the test!
mom wants the Council to hunt down Dragon-marked!
What?
[Jonathon] What were you thinking?
Do you know how suspicious you looked,
trying to veto the task force before you even discussed it?
You are the Council leader! Yufon has it out for you!
By shooting down her idea,
you look like you have something to hide!
I do have something to hide!
No kidding! So be smart about it!
[soft music]
Come on in, you two.
This affects them, they might as well hear about it.
[soft music]
Your Mother wants me
to endorse a special task force to find Dragonmarked.
-So it’s true? -How could you?
It is strategic.
I said discuss it, not endorse it.
Head up the damn task force if you have to
and then sabotage it.
I could lose my standing as Council leader!
How would I protect everyone then?
Oh, I don’t know.
Maybe the same way
I protected Mischa all these years
without any “standing”?
You just don’t want to give up anything,
while I gave up everything.
[soft music]
-What is she talking about? -I don’t know.
- Mamá? -What did you give up?
Hiding in the human World meant I could never let my Wolf run.
If I shifted, if I used any magic,
we might be tracked..
At first I kept her close.
I felt alone out there. I wanted her comfort.
[soft music]
We lasted almost a year.
But I knew it wasn't fair to keep her caged.
It was cruel.
[Lienda gasps]
So. I set her free.
[magical buzzing]
[soft music]
[wolf whimpers]
[wolf whines]
[soft music]
You gave up your Wolf.
It was the worst thing I have ever experienced.
And I would do it again.
Sometimes you have to do what feels like the wrong thing
because, in the long run, it is the right thing.
[soft music]
Are you going to be OK?
What she did for us...
I had no idea.
-She gave up everything for us. -Not everything.
Jessa, plenty of humans
do amazing things without powers.
Powers aren’t what make you special.
[soft music]
[door opens]
[door closes]
Sometimes you have to do what feels like the wrong thing
because you know it’s the right thing.
[soft music]
[drawer opens]
[soft music]
[footsteps]
What...? [Mischa yells]
[Mischa groans]
-Jessa? -Think fast!
[both grunt]
-[Mischa grunts] -[Jessa yells]
[Mischa laughs]
Thought we were supposed to keep a low profile.
So, I just have to put it back before she notices it’s gone.
[door opens]
dad? You wanted to see me?
Yes. You’re grounded.
-No dance. -You can’t do that!
Want to tell me how Jessa LeBron
got a hold of this?
-It could have killed them. -But not me?
You’re worried about it hurting the LeBron Twins,
but it’s OK if I play around with it.
Because who cares what happens to me.
-That’s not what I meant. -Yes, it is.
Meanwhile, Jessa’s the golden child.
Did you expel her for having the Talisman?
You don’t understand what’s at stake here.
She gets every opportunity possible,
and I just have to accept living in her shadow!
You’ll understand someday.
Don’t even try.
[magical buzzing]
Did you not notice my forward troll
guarding that space?
Guess not.
[soft music]
Excited about the dance?
Absolutely not.
I don’t want to go to school,
let alone a stupid school dance.
[magical buzzing]
Dammit.
Forget the game for a minute. What’s bugging you?
I know things have been hard since Mischa came to town.
But I thought you two worked through it.
I don’t know, mom.
Maybe I’m just not supposed to have friends.
Sometimes you grow out of the ones you grew up with.
Maybe it’s time to make new friends.
Aren’t you supposed to tell me that things will work out,
I just have to have faith or whatever?
[soft music]
Friendships change, my love.
The world is not always nice.
Do what you wanna do.
Don’t let other people drain you.
[soft music]
This is too risky.
We’re in the middle of the quad.
Everyone’s asleep. You worry too much!
You remember what happened last time right?
According to what I heard at the Council meeting,
no one’s been able to conjure the door to Faerie again.
You make the call.
It’s OK. Let’s hear Jessa’s plan.
You mean Mischa’s plan.
I’m just along for the ride this time.
OK let’s hear Mischa’s plan.
We know the hub offers up different doors
according to who’s asking.
So the fact that the door Kristov took that kid through
has been there every time Jessa and I look for it...
That must mean we’re meant to find it.
Then, why wouldn’t it open?
I have a theory about that, too.
And that’s why we asked for all your help.
Well, that and the new guards
and new security charms. And maybe invisible lasers?
I got the guards.
They might have warded against me,
but I haven’t given my persuasion glands
a real workout recently.
[all laugh]
I’ve got the forcefield. Almost too easy to overload.
I guess that leaves invisible lasers for me.
[bear growls]
[suspense music]
This isn’t the hub.
You’re guarding the wrong place.
We’re guarding the wrong place.
[suspense music]
[action music]
[wings flap]
[Brax growls]
[magical explosion]
[action music]
All clear.
OK, now for the laser beams.
Left hand, out.
[suspense music]
Step forward on your right foot.
Left knee up.
I feel like we’re playing high stakes Twister.
You have Twister?
Let Jae concentrate on the lasers.
[Mischa yells]
[suspense music]
[Jae laughs]
Invisible lasers are straight up bullshit.
-[all laughs] -Come on...!
[suspense music]
[door hisses open]
Yes!
[mechanical buzzing]
No. That shouldn’t be here.
I can hear it.
[suspense music]
Jae... Don’t...
You don’t want that.
[suspense music]
You stay with the twins. I’ve got Jae.
-[buzzing] -[Max grunts]
-[Jae groans]
Jae? You OK?
[Jae screams]
[both grunt]
-[Jae groans] -[Max screams]
[Jae groans]
You’re not going anywhere.
Get out of my way.
[Santra] Is everything all right here?
I was just out for a walk... What’s going on?
We were just... practicing combat.
[Jae gasps]
Is that right, Jae?
I wanna go back.
I think Jae’s in trouble.
I should've said something,
but I thought they’d just get over it.
It keeps getting worse and I don’t know what to do...
I just want things to go back to normal.
I’m sorry, Max.
But, I think... this might be the new normal.
[soft music]
Should we make sure Jae’s OK?
Max will take care of them.
We won’t have another chance at this.
You know they’ll beef up security again after tonight.
Maybe real lasers next time.
If we ever want to find that boy,
now’s the time.
OK. You said you had something
that would get the door open this time?
We have you.
What do you mean?
I couldn’t break it down that day in the woods.
I even tried burning through it.
What makes you think I can do it now?
Just try the handle.
Go ahead, Brax.
[suspense music]
[Brax gasps]
[door opens]
-What...? How? -Nice!
[suspense music]
Because it’s built to keep the Dragon-marked contained.
[both gasps]
It only opens if you’re not Dragon-marked.
-You told him? -I had to!
And I wanted to.
Brax is my best friend.
I swear, your secret is safe with me.
I would never do anything to hurt Jessa. Or you.
Are you kidding? This is great,
now I don’t have to come up with some excuse
for why Brax could open the door and we can’t!
-Ready? -Ready.
Wait!
What if it’s like Faerie?
We can’t just not go, Brax.
But what if the door disappears?
Then we deal with that. Together.
-[Brax grunts] -[door opens]
[suspense music]
[magical buzzing]
-[Jessa and Mischa scream] -[Brax gasps]
-What... -Just...
[both] Happened?
Are you alright? What was that?
[buzzing]
Security system, I guess.
“No magical disguises beyond this point.“
[Jessa chuckles]
Think it fits my style? I hear tattoos are in.
Maybe we should get outta here before something else happens.
We’ve come this far.
Let’s see what else is in this corridor of nightmares.
[suspense music]
We already got our Marks back, what else could happen?
[both gasps]
[suspense music]
[Brax gasps]
[Jessa] That’s him.
