02x07 - Spring Outbreak, Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Damn it, we're still in the den.

That, or the demon realm
looks a lot like home.

sh*t, guys, it didn't work.

I can fix it.

I'll get it up and running, I promise.
Just give me a second.

It's not you, Nicole, it's this spell.

Just like the last one,
and the one before that.

Look, the grimoires we've been sneaking
from the reliquary are appetizers.

To access the demon realm,
we need a main-course incantation.

And all of those were in the vault.

So our only chance to save Lilith
was stolen?

It appears so.

Then why aren't we kicking down doors
and tracking it all down?

Because the last time we tried that,

some inbred plant cult almost
turned me into a life-sized Chia Pet.

Yeah, and ever since then, we've been kept
on a short leash by Severa.

Absolutely not.

What? She is the Grand Magus.

Look, we'll get Lilith back, I promise.

You're right. we just have to keep trying.

Later, guys.

Bye, Nicole.

[door shuts]

[groans] I hate lying to her like that.

Telling her we're responsible
is not going to make it better.

She's right, though.

We should look for that stuff.

No, what we should be doing
is hunting down Foley

and rescuing Midnight.

We're not doing anything
until the Order says so.

We need to show Vera
we can be team players.

Why?

Do you want her to like us?

-I want her to not punish us.
-[Randall] Hm.

Right, that, too.

I guess that's valid.

-Jack--
-I know.

I know, "heel."

[distant people chattering]

[knocking]

Alyssa, come on, I know you're home.
I just wanna make sure you're okay.

Now you have, so...

Alyssa, look,
I know what you're going through.

All right, getting weaned off
that Promethean mind juice,

it took me a while, too, and...

even Vera had trouble with it.

Except you have wolf powers
to help heal you,

and she's a Grand Magus.

Probably a robot.

I-- I get it.
That Egregore sh*t is strong and...

without it, you feel like
you're stuck in limbo, but

you're not alone, okay?

Yeah.

I'm, uh...

taking some "me" time.

Uh, well,
maybe your detox plan was too short.

We could talk to Vera
about getting you more juice.

Never again.

What do you want?
Tell me, and I'll get it for you.

My magic fixed?

Alyssa,

you're not broken.

Vera thinks so.

She sidelined me during Rogwan,
and now it's an outright ban.

And not a single disciple has reached out.

Uh...

Hello?

You don't count.

I don't-- I should count the most.

Look, don't take it too personally,
all right?

Between hunting down Foley
and covering for us,

Vera has a lot on her plate.

Did you just defend Vera Stone?

Yeah, I guess I did.

Careful, she may have
messed with your mind again.

Well, she can try.

It's not gonna work this time.

Why? Because there's nothing in there
to work with?

Ha ha.

Because I...

I'm tired of letting...

revenge and anger control my life.

The Tao of Pete.

You know, it's funny.

I think I was afraid to let

all that stuff go 'cause I'm afraid
to let him go.

What brought us together
was getting back at Coventry.

What if that's all we had?

It isn't.

But it's good to hear you talk
about what you want to let go.

Gives me hope.

We're being friends here,
is that what's happening?

I don't know.

A real friend would clean my apartment.

[cell phone buzzes]

Yeah, hold that thought.

-[clears throat]
-[cell phone bleeps]

Look, I gotta go,

but if you need...

anything...

Anything, I'm here for you.

You got it?

Yeah.

This doesn't make any sense.

This isn't an alliance,
it's an amnesty for theft.

It's not an amnesty,
it's terms of surrender.

We can't sign this.

[chuckling] I think you're overreacting.

I think you're protecting your girlfriend.

We're not... Uh, we...

How dare you?

-Wha--
-[Hamish clears his throat]

Randall, it's not that bad.

There's a code of conduct,

a pledge of fealty,

a dress code?

You could use one.

[scoffs]

We can't even call ourselves
the Knights of Saint Christopher.

Our hide lockers stay at the temple?

Oh, no, no, no, no!

Some of these items
are a little extreme...

Grand Magus.

Nevertheless...

-these are...
-[ghostly hissing sound]

...the terms.

[ghostly hissing sound]

[exhales deeply] Look, Grand Magus,

it's not that we don't appreciate
the offer, but--

We don't.

We were expecting an alliance
like the ones you offered the Prometheans.

Oh, well, the Sons of Prometheus
are a separate organization.

You are not.

Never have been.

Before facing Rogwan,

you and Ms. Bathory said an oath
that sounded familiar.

[whispering] Right there.

"I give my life to the cause..."

"...of defending
the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose..."

-"From threats both within and without."
-[Randall sighs]

Your true oath.

Time to come home.

-[people chattering]
-[music playing]

The Knights of the Blue Rose.

Guardians of the Vade Maecum.
Can you believe this?

Cassie told me everything I had to know
was in those journals.

And?

I got distracted.

Dudes, if we do this, we are k*lling
the Knights of Saint Christopher.

Think of Lilith.

The Order can help us track down
that library and find the right spell.

Or it's a trick.

It was all in that book.
The Knights originally served the Order.

Of course you'd believe her.

[scoffs]

I believe her.

Dude, for real?

Look, it's just a feeling
I'm getting from Silverback.

Don't you get feelings from Greybeard?

Just hunger.

It's probably a tapeworm.

Can I see a menu?

If she's telling the truth, we need
to honor our history, and that oath.

Oh, God, this is your argument
about user agreements all over again.

-I can't believe you don't read those.
-I can't believe you do.

It's a binding contract, like our pledge.

We have to sign. She's got us.

And if we don't?

What's she gonna do, k*ll us?

She's too smart to k*ll us,
not while Praxis has our hide lockers.

It'd be like giving your enemy
a loaded g*n.

No, she'll probably just imprison us.

Okay, you don't have to sound
so impressed.

-It's sound tactical strategy.
-Guys!

Fighting with each other
is not going to help us.

Look, I get it.

You don't like the Order.

But Vera is not Edward, all right?
She's not a monster.

She could've k*lled me at the Commons.

We gave her every reason to
when we robbed her,  but she didn't.

So you trust her?

I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt.

I vote no.

This feels too much like a surrender.

Knights don't surrender.

Our problems are too big to handle
on our own.

Our needs are tied to the Order's.

I'm a yes.

Okay.

So that's one yea and one nay.

Maybe.

I invoke privilege.

What is privilege?

Boom! I win!

Yeah, congratulations.

Now you choose.

I what?

No, I don't want to decide.

Winner always decides.

What did you think we were playing for?

Not-- No, that's way too much pressure.

No kidding.

That's why you made me play, huh?

-Newest knight, freshest eyes.
-Yeah.

That, and I always b*at him. [chuckles]

-Not always.
-Most of the time.

Beer pong's the reason you're still alive.

You decided my fate
over a game of beer pong?

We usually do best two out of three.

Quit stalling.

[exhales deeply]

A choice I don't make will be made for me.

[Randall] What was that?

Something Vera once told me.

No.

Before, I thought joining the Order
would solve all of my problems,

and then I found out

the cause of all of my problems
was in charge of the Order,

and so everything went to sh*t.

[exhales deeply] Wow.

You really need to work
on your pep talks there, coach.

-No.
-[ping pong ball clatters]

My point is, before I joined,
I thought the Order was good.

Remember with Rogwan?
They wanted to stop him.

Yeah, after they released him.

That wasn't the Order, though.

That was some idiot that was doing it
for his or her benefit,

like Edward with the Vade Maecum.

All right? Maybe...
the Order isn't the problem,

but the people in charge.

So if we make it our responsibility
to keep them in line...

"To protect it from threats,
both within and without."

[sighs]

So, we're magic internal affairs cops?

Randall, we can turn the Order

into a magic society that works
for the benefit of everyone,

not just the members.

[exhales deeply]

The only way to go forward is to sign.

[exhales deeply]

[Randall] So that's it.

It's the end of the Knights
as we know them.

It's not the end, it's just a change.

Like puberty.

Don't worry.
You'll know what it's like someday.

Ha ha ha.

Well, you have to have the talk
with Lilith when she's back.

So it's settled.

[mystical whooshing]

So?

How do we acknowledge this

momentous, life-altering event?

-[snaps fingers]
-I got a two-for-one pizza promo.

-Hi, Mike.
-Good morning, Amy.

[mystical whooshing]

Alyssa.

I need to talk to you...

about the Egregore.

Xavier made it clear to your Magus.

You'll only be getting enough
to wean you off.

We need the rest
to rebuild the organization,

especially since the Order took everything
that Praxis didn't.

It's not that. After you tricked me
into drinking the juice...

-I wouldn't say I tricked you.
-...I could hear you talking to Essie.

You said that I couldn't fully connect
to the Egregore.

Why not?

It's not an uncommon experience
for outsiders.

Pre-existing bonds can interfere
with the magic that forms our Egregore.

Pre-existing, like...

Like how you feel about a person?

Like how you feel about Jack?

-Yes.
-[sighing]

Can you eliminate the interference?

We have an elixir
that can sever those bonds.

Are you asking to rejoin the Egregore?

I think that the bond blocking
my connection to the Egregore

is also blocking my magic.

Right. Of course.

I mean, I suppose it's possible.

Look, magic is the only thing
that makes sense to me.

I'm lost without it.

If this bond is crippling my magic,
then...

I have to break it.

I need you to make me that elixir.

What do I get in exchange?

I won't tell Vera you're the reason

why marijuana consumption on campus
has jumped , %.

I'll need a piece of Jack
to brew the elixir.

Like hair?

Or a finger.

Hair it is.

Are you sure you want to do this?

We felt the emotions you shared.

Come on, those lips?

They're not that great.

If he is the blockage,

this spell will completely sever

all emotional connections
you have for Jack Morton,

good or bad.

Are you sure this is what you want?

I won't be held back anymore.

-[hissing sound]
-[Angus] Inveniatur Cameron Foley.

It's not working.

No sh*t.

Your disciples can't perform
a simple tracking spell?

It's not that simple

when the person you're hunting
knows how to cover their tracks.

So whatever you want, can it wait?

I'm a little busy.

[Kepler] No, Vera. It can't wait.

Continue working, please.

You have got to be kidding me.

Now?

[echoing thuds]

God damn it, Kepler.

I, Elizabeth Kepler, head of...

I am this close to finding Foley
and everything he took from us.

...sacred scrolls of An Nem Tep,
do hereby assigned myself the ranking...

-Now is not the time for this.
-...and assign myself

the solemn duty to undertake Invocare.

You are out of your mind.

You endangered us all
when you drank that mind juice,

and it's not the first time

you've put your own interests
ahead of this organization.

The Order needs a leader with vision.

Who's that gonna be, Kepler? You?

I am merely a conduit

for the will of the Order.

[distant thunder rumbling]

[Alyssa] They say college is where
you meet your true friends.

Apparently, it's also where you meet
your best enemies.

Sorry about that.

I'm Jack.

[sighs] Hi, Jack.

[Jack] Astounding?

Beautiful.

Cool.

[Alyssa gasps]

[exhales deeply]

[Jack] I love you.

[distant people chattering]

-[can clatters]
-[gasps]

-[distant people cheering]
-[rock music playing]

[approaching footsteps]

I can honestly say
I was not expecting this.

[Alyssa] Me, neither.

[Salvador groans]

-Just makes everything that much harder.
-[people chattering and laughing]

Boy trouble?

Boys.

Impressive.

I wanted to get it over with
and get out of here.

-[man ] Fine with that.
-[man ] Yeah, no kidding.

I guess now I am waiting till tomorrow.
[exhales deeply]

When you know what's right for you,
you just have to push through and do it.

Even if you end up breaking a few hearts.

Including your own.

They teaching life skills
at the sororities now?

Whoa.

Hey, now. The "S" word? Really?

Sorry, I just... assumed.

I'm someone who joins groups?

And clearly...

[inhales deeply] ...you're not.

Well, they're lucky to have you.

[scoffs]

Tell them that.

Any time.

Salvador.

Alyssa.

Shall we?

[Jack] Hey, Alyssa!

Alyssa!

Hey, it's Jack!

Snap and shine!

Whoo!

Oh, I'm so glad you came!

-Oh, hey!
-Yeah.

-Oh!
-All right.

Um...

Okay. Uh, do you want to talk
somewhere quiet?

Of course, yeah.
I wanna show you something. Come on.

[chatter, laughter and music continue]

I said somewhere quiet.

Hang on. Where is it?

Ta-da!

-Yeah, that's a cup.
-Yes, no.

Not just a cup.
This is the cup that changed everything.

Vera offered us amnesty,
and we're taking it.

We're joining the Order, again!

For real.

Are you out of your mind?

I thought you'd be happy. Come on,
we get to be on the same side now.

I don't want you to change for me.

Alyssa, I would do anything for you. Here.

I will prove it to you.

Jack, wait.

Alyssa, hey! Did you hear the news?

We're joining the Order again.

-About that--
-We're gonna be one big happy family.

New families are the best.

Do I have to call Vera "Mom"?
'Cause I will!

[chuckles] Fun!

Mm.

Hey, are you looking for Jack?

-Are you guys crazy?
-[Hamish chuckles]

So you heard.

Turns out, we used to be
the Knights of the Blue Rose,

tasked with protecting the Order
from threats, both inside and out.

So, if you can't fight 'em, police 'em.

[forced chuckle] But why?

Try this. It's called a Lily-Bell.

Rye, vermouth, sherry,
and a splash of Fernet-Branca.

It's good. Strong.

Like her.

That's why you're doing it.

This might be the only way
to get the Order to help us rescue her.

To hope.

-[cell phone bleeps]
-Mm.

Oh, duty calls.

What are you doing here?

Hello, Gabrielle.

Just wanna talk to Jack.

God, you two are so lame.

You know the whole time
I let him live with me,

he was basically all about you?

He even dreamed about you,
like, all the fricking time. So annoying.

What are you doing here anyway?

I'm basically, like, the fifth Knight.

[chuckles]

Good luck with that.

Things get complicated when
you hang out with these guys for too long.

You don't know me,

and I like complicated,

and friends who look past the surface,

and maybe you should be nicer to me.

I don't need more friends.

You don't have any friends!

Oh, my God.

Is that a karaoke machine?

We're singing a duet.

Move!

[Nicole] Randall.

Nicole! Hey!

Um...

Oh, don't worry, everyone's way too drunk.
Watch.

Hey, guys.

I'm part of a secret society
dedicated to fighting evil magic.

-[cheering]
-Eh, yeah!

See? See? No one cares.

Okay. I found the spell
that's going to work.

We can do it tonight...

or tomorrow morning.

This spell only retrieves
non-living things.

Lilith is most definitely alive.

How did I miss that?

-[book clatters]
-I'm just... [groans]

It's okay.

You're wiped.

You haven't stopped since she disappeared.

I've been through every book
in Vera's reliquary.

That was literally our last chance.

If I ever get my hands
on whoever robbed us...

That... would... be... us.

We robbed the vault
so we could leave the Order,

but then Praxis robbed us,
so really, it's their fault.

This whole time, I've been blaming myself.

No one is laying any blame on you.

-I was!
-This is totally on us.

So what happened to her
is her fault, then?

And I'm the idiot who thought
she was in love with a hero.

She wasn't trying to save me,

she was trying to cover her own ass.

This all came out wrong.

We want to rescue her more than anyone,

and we will, believe me.

No.

No, I can't screw up again.
Not like this. I...

I can't.

Okay, I feel like we're just talking
about two different things here.

Nicole!

[exhales deeply]

Hey.

Hey.

-You're awake.

Um...

I had a bad dream.

Yeah?

Was I wearing a cheerleading outfit?

As a matter fact, you were.

And we lived in a world without magic.

Sounds terrible.

It is.

Uh, we should, um, blow off class
and go get breakfast.

[chuckles] I...

I've got a thing.

I can't. I'm sorry.

Well, last night was amazing.

Yeah, I thought so, too.

[exhales deeply]

Get some sleep.

Okay.

[people chattering and laughing]

Nice shirt.

Randall's got one just like it.

What the hell?

That's for not dumping me before
you took off with Alyssa last night.

[exhales deeply]

I'm your fake girlfriend.
I deserve more respect.

We were never really together.

So?

You and Randall?

You and I are so broken up.

Why do we have to keep going
to this stupid class?

Foley's long gone.

Yeah, well, I don't know about you,
but I need the credits to graduate.

[cell phone bleeps]

It's from Kepler.

Why didn't I get it?

Probably because
the world doesn't revolve around you.

That's far enough.

Kepler gave strict orders
not to let you through.

Why is Kepler giving orders?

I'm not telling you.

You can tell me.

There's been an att*ck.

Get over it.
He was going to find out anyway.

An att*ck on us?

There is no "us."

There's the Order,

and there's you assholes.

-[tapping on cell phone]
-[cell phone bleeps]

[cell phone bleeps]

[cell phone bleeps]

[cell phone bleeps]

-I need to talk to Kepler.
-You can try.

[growling]

[door creaks open]

[exhales deeply]

Mr. Morton.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd say you were pleased
to see me still alive.

Oh, trust me, it's purely selfish.

Your amnesty. Of course.

You got a little... thing.

-[mystical whooshing]
-What happened?

Praxis launched att*cks
against several temples.

Disciples across the country are dead.

Disciples like you, Mr. Morton.

If you're okay,
then why is Kepler running the show?

Because Kepler triggered Invocare.

We're at w*r.

She's trying to elect a new Grand Magus.

You're Grand Magus.

Not anymore.

Perhaps never again.

I dismissed Foley as a fringe radical,

and I let Praxis manifest under my nose.

I underestimated this entire thr*at,

and now we're both endangered.

We signed your amnesty.

Do you honestly expect the next
Grand Magus to honor that agreement?

[exhales deeply] Good point.

Okay, you focus on winning this election,

and we'll find Foley.
He's just one werewolf against three.

Do you have something against
devising an actual plan?

I like to improvise.

Magus.

Have you seen or heard
from Hamish this morning?

Why would you ask me that?

I'm just grasping at straws.

I'm certain he's fine.

[Orbin] Now add the hair.

[speaks Latin]

[mystical ringing]

Now what?

Well, it is a tea.

[mystical whooshing]

[sets mug down]

How do you feel?

Like I just drank out of an old shoe.

About Jack Morton.

[exhales deeply]

[sighs]

Damn it. I still care about him.

Damn it.

[sighs]
The potion can only sever the magic block.

-[sets mug down]
-Jack Morton isn't the cause.

It's something else.

But there is no one else. I mean...

Kyle was a mistake.

Shelley was just a fling.

I don't speak to my family, but...

I admired Edward Coventry
as a mentor, but... [chuckles]

Oh, no.

You were supposed to take care of them.

There were too many innocent civilians.

So you take one of the stupid Knights
as a hostage?

Relax.

The chains prevent any transformation,

and that sleep spell lasts for hours.

And he's here because
you couldn't do your job.

No one could have done that job.

You couldn't do that job.
She's unkillable.

[gasping]

You told me you could manage Belgrave,
that you could establish a cell.

Instead, you recruited incompetents
and psychotics.

Tell me why I am keeping you alive.

[gasping] Because I'll do anything
for the cause, anything. I swear.

[Foley groans]

That's right.

[breathing heavily]

You will.

Found this...

tossed into the bushes.

Hamish wolfed out.

Look familiar?

Yeah, another k*ller stick girl.

They came for him last night.

They came for us.

Look, I don't care how big Praxis is.

They hurt him.

Your friend's alive.

At least, he was the last time I saw him.

I-- I know you're angry.

"Angry" doesn't even begin
to describe what I am.

Start talking.

Now.

Foley sent me here last night to k*ll you.

Interesting start.

[Salvador] But I didn't,

because last night,

I saw the world that Foley sold us on
right here.

The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose
and the Knights of Saint Christopher.

No one was fighting.

A world of peace.

A world of magic.

When he found out that
I didn't complete the mission,

he threatened to k*ll me

unless I took your friend.

Okay, get to the part where
we start caring if you live or die.

[Salvador]
Foley changed after he robbed everyone.

He's a werewolf, too,

but he's obsessed with power.

I didn't sign up for m*rder.

Please.

You have to help us.

I can show you where he is,
and you can rescue your friend.

Yeah, walk right into your trap.

I took a huge risk even coming here.

It's not a trap.

I promise.

Oh, great.

She promises, Jack.

What's in it for you?

You leave me alone.

Let me try to convince the others
to bring Praxis back to its roots.

It's still a good idea, and...

last night I saw what it could be.

We'll check it out.

And you'll stay right here.

What? No.

What if you fail?
What if he finds me here and he--

It's not up for debate.
Tell us where he is.

Okay. Okay. Uh...

Take Highway out of Norwich,
then get off at exit .

Take the third left,
head in for two miles.

You'll find an old station house there.

Okay. [snaps fingers] Upstairs, now.

[mystical whooshing]

Mm.

Mm. [chuckles]

-[crunching]
-[grunts]

[mystical ringing]

[gasps]

Hey, Professor!

[growling]

When you land,
you'll be coming straight to the temple.

Kepler wants to start
proceedings immediately.

You'll have to stall her
for as long as you can.

Thank you, Ian. I won't forget this.

Call me when you land.

Miss Drake.

You and your broken magic
aren't supposed to be in this temple.

Yeah, that's actually why I'm here,
Grand Magus.

Orbin told me that something was
blocking my access to the Egregore,

some kind of magic bond.

Then I realized it may be
the same thing affecting my magic.

Mm-hmm. I'm very busy.

At first, I thought Jack was the reason,
but I was wrong,

and there's only one other thing
that I think it could be.

What if the Vade Maecum Infernal survived?

Go on.

Well, I was Edward's witness, and...

if even just a piece of it survived,

I could still be tied to it.

Well, that is impossible.

The Nephilim's tears obliterated it.

I swept the ashes away myself.

Yes.

Yes, of course.

Take my word for it, Miss Drake.

Regardless of the outcome of Invocare,

I will help you get to the bottom
of whatever is

truly breaking your magic.

Thank you, Grand Magus.

You all right?

No.

I'm not.

Could have been k*lled.

Nearly was.

I sensed someone coming up on me, but I...

basically ignored it because...

who could hurt me? I'm a werewolf.

It's okay. You're safe now.

-[scoffs] I'm an idiot.
-No, you're not.

I've already been stabbed once.
I still thought I couldn't be hurt.

[breathes deeply]

Well, he won't tell me where the stuff is,

but he did give me a great recipe
for Rice Krispies squares.

-My turn.
-Hey, hey, whoa, whoa!

We need him alive.

Okay? I will talk to him.

Look, tell us where you stashed the stuff,
and we'll make sure Vera goes easy on you.

You want me to talk, you're gonna
have to offer more than merciful death.

You signed your own death warrant
when you went up against the Order.

You think you have the right to do that?

It doesn't matter what I think.

And that's your problem, Jack.

You're smart, but you're dumb.

You're really not the person that should
be lecturing me about this situation.

I'm not talking about the ethics.

I'm talking about your morals.

It's the same thing.

If I actually get through to you
about anything, let it be this:

Ethics and morals are not the same thing.

Ethics are the rules to the game,

and your morals dictate
whether you follow them,

like this situation right now.

You're looking at this as a binary option
because you're refusing to see yourself

as an agent of change, but...

you could release me. Hell... [chuckles]

...you could join me.

Praxis is finished.

Okay?

Your fate was sealed
the minute Salvador gave you up.

What else did she tell you?

That you're a m*rder*r,
not a revolutionary.

Ouch. Harsh.

And that with you gone,

she thinks she can restore Praxis
to its peaceful beginnings.

[snickers]

You actually think
the Order will let her do that?

It's a shame, Jack.

If I had come to Belgrave earlier,
if we'd met sooner...

you and I could have been allies,
and everything would have been different.

I sincerely doubt that.

You are not one of them
and you never will be.

In their eyes, you'll always be a townie.

And I know, deep down, you appreciate me
trying to level this playing field.

Otherwise, you would have
brought me in hours ago.

We just want our stuff back.

Let me go and it's yours.

You know what I'm craving?

-Rice Krispies squares?
-Rice Krispies squares.

Sometimes I wonder
how we're all still alive.

Yeah. Me, too.

We're going.

Give me one more sh*t at him.

No, we need to take him to Vera, okay?

We're obviously terrible
at this enhanced interrogation.

FYI, that is a good thing.

We need her, and she needs Foley
if she's gonna remain Grand Magus.

Maybe she shouldn't.

Do you really wanna take that risk?
'Cause I don't.

We can handle this on our own.

Maybe we shouldn't have to.

Well, if you want my opinion-- [grunts]

Can't wait for the vote to be over
so things go back to normal.

There's no such thing as normal
around here.

They said USC was hit the worst.

I'm sorry, Angus.

The way those Adeptii are talking,
it doesn't seem like they think

Vera will make a very strong w*r Magus.

Once she's out, so are the wolves.

You didn't meet our last Grand Magus.

If it weren't for the wolves,
we'd be dead right now.

Of course you'd say that.

Yeah, wolf lover.

Excuse you?

If anyone's a mangy wolf lover, it's you.

That was before I knew
the truth about them.

[Foley grunts]

Is everyone okay?

Did we miss anything?

Just in time.

[Foley groans]

-[music playing]
-[people chattering]

To the Knights of Saint Christopher.

-AKA the Knights of the Blue Rose.
-[cell phone buzzes]

Still not used to it.

-[cell phone bleeps]
-Gotta go.

[sighs]

I'm gonna take off, too.

W-- Wait, come on. At least stay
and finish your drink with me.

I'm not thirsty.

[sighs]

Oh, my God, we have a hostage.

Can I get two burgers to go?

[knocking]

We caught Foley and we got him to Vera
in time for Invocare.

I know why my magic is crippled.

Vera lied about the Vade Maecum.
She didn't destroy it.

That's impossible. We saw it burn to ash.

Exactly.

She must've switched out
the Nephilim's tears for something else.

Real Nephilim's tears
would've obliterated that book.

There should've been nothing left,
not even ash.

Holy sh*t.

She must have had her reasons, then.

Maybe the book did something to her.

How could you say that?

I'm broken because of that book.

You almost d*ed because of it.

Yeah, I remember. I was there.

And you're not angry?

Of course I'm angry, but I'm trying
to let go of anger and revenge, remember?

Yeah, well, maybe I'm not. Maybe I...

You said you would do anything.

Okay.

Let's go talk to her, figure this out.

You really believe that?

I do.

I have to.

We're never going to be on the same side.

[Randall]
Well, you were right about Foley.

Hope you're...

hungry.

Holy sh*t.

She's a werewolf.

[Vera] Professor Foley.

I regret to inform you,

Belgrave University will not
be renewing your contract.

What?

[grunts]

Is this 'cause I failed you last term?

Utter an incantation and you die.

Even abracadabra?

Tell me where my magic is.

Why is it that abracadabra
is such a bullshit incantation,

but I could utter some ancient Latin
and level this room?

My magic, where is it?

We think the word dictates the magic.

But how does magic even know...

[gasping]

Even know what these words mean?

You know what I think?

I think we can control magic with our mind

and these words just help us visualize
what we wanna have happen.

I bet I could make any word a magic word

as long as I concentrate
on what I want the magic to do.

[breathes deeply]

And pay for it to...

[groans]

And, oh, boy, I'm paying for it now.

[breathes deeply]

God, this hurts so much.

I let Salvador down. Please...

[grunts]

...could I get a hug?

[thunderous roar and thud]

[Vera groans agonizingly]
