2 of 19So, the gang has headed back to Brakebills. They found a workbook of spells in Fillory (from 1893) and while that’s mostly helpful, the actual spells are what they need to find and kill The Beast. And they have to. Because if The Beast gets to the wellspring in Fillory – magic dies. Not just there – but everywhere.

7 of 19Eliot learns that the main problem currently plaguing Fillory is an agricultural one. Where magic used to grow all the crops, the Fillorians don’t know the first thing about farming. And Eliot, sigh, is going to have to teach them. Also? His new wife is super into having sex with him.

9 of 19Ultimately, it’s Professer Sunderland who is able to figure out the solution – an anagram for the book! (Which is awesome, because we love her and her overt sexual tension wih Penny.) Sadly, as they find the book, they realize the spell they need is missing. The Pixie Professor has it.

16 of 19Quentin comes to warn Julia. Professor Bigby has given them a spell to kill The Beast, but when Alice uses it, she can’t be within 20 feet of him, or she’ll be killed as well. Julia says they can’t kill him until she and The Beast kill Reynard. Left unsettled, she also warns Quentin that The Beast has cast a spell on Castle Whitespire.
