02x03 - Your Newfound Popularity

[bunniefuu]

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 sh*t 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]

I'm looking through a bookshelf ♪

To an alternate reality ♪

See you standing right in front of me ♪

Seeing everything I wanna see ♪

- [bell rings]

- - I'm alone with all the mess I made ♪

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 f*cking 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 f*ck'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.

Why do we love the wrong ones

And trust the wrong ones ♪

And f*ck the wrong ones

And yeah? ♪

Why do we love the wrong ones

And trust the wrong ones ♪

And f*ck the wrong ones

And yeah? ♪

Why do we love the wrong ones

And trust the wrong ones ♪

And f*ck the wrong ones? ♪

[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 sh*t. 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 k*ller.

- Sam. Sam

- [angrily] Don't f*cking 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

att*cked 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 b*rned Ones att*cked,

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 k*ll 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 m*rder*r

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-f*cking-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.

[alt-pop music plays]

[delighted gasping]

[delighted laughter]

I've been running all night ♪

I've got blood on my shoes ♪

Oh, they're coming now ♪

I thought you might like company.

They're coming now ♪

Silent screams ♪

- Hey.

- Hey.

My heart burns in my chest

What did I do ♪

[Sky] Thought you were off

doing secret agent sh*t.

[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 k*ller, 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 d*ck.

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 thr*aten 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 b*rned 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 k*lling 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.

[high-pitched chittering]

[squeaky whistling]

[high-pitched chittering]

[ominous suspenseful music]

[menacing rattle]

[slithering, croaking rattle]

- [screechy chittering]

- [Aisha yelping]

- [high-pitched chittering]

- [panting]

Help me! [grunts]

[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 k*lled.

- [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 k*ller.

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 k*ll 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 f*ck.

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 m*rder*r so

Lucky for you "not a m*rder*r" 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.

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 f*cked 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.
