[tense music plays]
[Andreas] Beatrix has been missing for three days.
And that's my responsibility, not her guardian's?
I've spoken to the mayor. He'll let us know if she turns up.
We should be looking for her, with every resource at our disposal.
-If the Blood Witches have her-- -That's exactly what they would expect.
For us to react.
So they can pick off fairies one by one.
If they want fairies, why don't we give them one?
A trade. I could text Beatrix's phone. Offer them another fairy.
Because we have history, I'll pretend you didn't say that.
She's like a daughter to me.
Andreas,
I told you not to form emotional attachments.
This is why.
[Andreas] Marco, just the man I was looking for.
[Marco] Good timing. Tell me you've got something to save me from grading.
-[Marco chuckles] -[Andreas sighs]
Well, actually, I do.
[spluttering] Andreas!
[strangled] Andreas, what the--
[strangled grunting]
I'm sorry, Marco.
It's you or her.

Look, the Dragon Flame's a legend. Now you are too.
I give it at least a week before they get bored.
Is this an eight? Eighty-something?
Are those waves?
Eight waves?
BW.
-Blood Witches. -Oh.
-You didn't do the reading! -I've been swimming a lot.
Is that what they're calling it? Swimming?
What's, uh, Grey's favorite stroke?
Butterfly.
And I know about Blood Witches.
They aren't super common, but they are a thing.
I assumed I could wing it.
My handwriting is not that bad. Let me see.
No. Uh, Blood Witch powers.
Basically, their element is blood, so they can control muscles and bones.
Theirs and other people's. Creepy.
And now, apparently, they steal magic from fairies. Creepier.
[phone chimes]
It'll be quick. Promise.
-We have this joke about a hawk-- -You told me. It's cute.
What's not cute is you not doing well on this quiz and sulking after.
So get to the Dominion Wars section.
Back then, Blood Witches were so powerful that they--
Could control people's bodies from miles away.
Yeah, that much I remember.
Apparently, the Dominion Wars were the last time the Dragon Flame existed.
-It's been dormant for a thousand years. -So, it's not hereditary?
Rosalind thinks that it surfaces in times of great conflict.
Because that's not ominous at all.
-I know she's still shady, but she-- -She's still shady.
But we want the same thing.
Find the Blood Witch stealing fairy magic and stop them.
You and Flora saw the scraper up close.
Look, shady or not, I'm just…
I'm happy we have Rosalind to help fight them.
[Rosalind] We don't know much about scrapers.
We do know that fairy magic is ineffective against them,
which is why now is the time when the Specialists must shine.
Now that I'm back, I'll be taking over ranged combat,
the primary method of taking down scrapers.
Let's see what you got.
It's like he never fucking left.
-[arrow whooshing] -[smashing]
Come on, man. Aren't we over this anti-Silva shit?
He acts like he has the moral high ground. Hypocrite.
What, and you'd prefer Andreas?
-At least Andreas is who he is. -Yes, and who he is is a massive prick.
He almost took my arm off in sparring yesterday.
I wonder if it's because Beatrix is gone.
I heard Rosalind sent her on a mission, but when I tried to ask him,
he pretty much told me to fuck off, so…
You don't know anything, do you, Riven?
Nope. [clears throat]
She's not my problem anymore. That nightmare is over.
[Dane laughs]
-For homing arrows, these fucking suck. -[Sky chuckles]
[smashing]
What was that, Riven?
Combat won't be as easy as hitting a single target.
The Blood Witches and the scrapers will attack together.
[Rosalind] Mind fairies can protect Specialists from Blood Witch magic.
Musa.
Can I just watch? My magic hasn't been very helpful recently.
You're the strongest mind fairy here. Your magic is limited only by your will.
Focus.
[arrows whooshing]
[lilting suspenseful music]
[bow creaking]
[mystical tingling]
Got him.
Protect him while I simulate an attack.
[eerie whooshing]
[mystical tingling]
[Rosalind] I can feel you, Musa. Push me away.
-[eerie whooshing] -[mystical tingling]
[arrow whooshes]
[sighs] Told you. Not helpful.
Just like that attitude.
Who's next?
[scraper chittering]
I wonder what it evolved from.
It's got sensing organs, an exoskeleton. Maybe a jellyfish? Crustacean?
Maybe it didn't evolve 'cause it's from the Realm of Darkness,
whatever that is.
Help organize this before LeRoy checks in.
I don't want her thinking the Harveys are slobs.
I can't believe Aimee LeRoy is gonna be the new professor.
My parents are obsessed with her.
Yeah, my dad too. It's gonna be so weird without him and Sam.
How's Musa handling it?
Not sure.
Must be… difficult for her, knowing that she's the reason he left.
I'm not saying anything Musa doesn't know.
If I can sense you're mad at her, she can too.
Well, I can't change how I feel. Sorry.
She's at the Bastion, right? I'll go check on her.
I have to head over there anyway.
-Why are you going to the Bastion? -Gonna meet a friend.
[giggling] A friend? What friend?
I know all your friends, and they live in the suite, so…
Riven.
I'm gonna meet up with Riven. We hung out after the banquet.
Course, that makes sense. Totally makes sense.
Uh, I guess, tell Riven I said hi.
[sighs]
[Bloom] Hey.
What are you doing here?
Uh, my mum said she was sending me a little something,
so I was just seeing if it came in.
Good afternoon, Headmistress.
[footsteps receding]
How was the Blood Witch quiz?
Uh, it was… it was easy.
But I've got vested interest considering the Blood Witches
are the people who kidnapped me when I was a baby.
I also studied the reports you did on the fairies who were drained.
It took me three days to get through, and I'm just reading it.
How have you had time to do this and run a school?
Sleep is for the weak.
What we're doing here matters to the entire Otherworld.
I make time.
And if you want to have an impact, you'll need to do the same.
I'm headed for the Capitol.
If I were you, I'd take another look at those reports.
When are we going after them? The Blood Witches?
-You said they'd know where I came from. -[sighs] When the time is right.
You are our most valuable resource. I need you safe.
The Blood Witches haven't come for you yet, but they will.
And if they do…
[flames roar]
[fire sizzles]
I have the Dragon Flame.
The Dragon Flame won't protect you from a knife in the back.
Blood Witches fight dirty.
I trust you'll keep this between us, but… [sighs]
…Beatrix was taken the night of the banquet.
What?! Why didn't you tell anyone?
We think it's a Blood Witch inside our school.
If we're right, they're making a move,
but we can't react until we know more, which is why I'm going to the Capitol.
You don't think anyone in the school should know a student is missing?
No, because people are irrational.
They act on emotion.
And emotion is good for one thing.
Magic.
So you need to sit tight, stay quiet,
and contemplate your lesson for today.
[camera shutter clicks]
Never let your emotions cloud your judgment.
[upbeat pop music plays]
[Musa] Terra, did you say something?
[Terra] Hair up or down?
Anyone?
Up?
-Down? -[Aisha] I'm sure it looks fine, Terra.
[Terra] So, you can hear me?
[giggles] Ah, great, new opinion. Fun, right?
Like I've not tried too hard, but I've still tried.
-Like a cool half-try. What do you think? -Yeah, it's cute.
-I'm confused. -Oh, um, word is Rosalind's out today.
So we're gonna hit up a pub in Blackbridge called The Grapevine.
-We? -Yes, we.
As in, this week has been a lot and we could use a break. You especially.
Aren't you forgetting the Blood Witch?
Aren't you forgetting that we're powerful fairies
who won't let fear stop us from living our lives?
Also, we have the Dragon Flame.
Also, it's a pub. Lots of people around. Super safe.
You're last, Bloom. Go get ready.
Stella? Do you care to add to the chorus?
As if I'm giving the commoners the satisfaction of seeing a princess
in a gross, dingy pub.
Have fun.
[Flora] You're missing out.

Uh, continue drinking and… and just… and picture me drinking with you.
Yeah, I'm gonna go find Riven.
He's usually vomiting in a corner about now.
[Riven] Okay, ladies.
Figured you for an IPA kinda girl. Yeah? Crisp, packs a punch.
Stout for the mind fairy.
Smooth, take your mind off all the emotional shit.
Thanks, Riv.
For you Terra, cider.
It's got a bit of alcohol, but basically just a fizzy glass of apple juice.
-[Terra] Mm. -[Riven chuckles]
That's really lovely. Thank you.
I'm not gonna tell you how beautiful you look 'cause that would be cringey.
Telling me you're not gonna tell me might actually make it cringier, FYI.
Right, okay. [chuckles]
-[mystical tingling] -So I… heard Aimee LeRoy made it in.
Exciting. She's a ledge.
Yeah, so's my dad. Shame him and Sam had to leave.
[emotionally tense music plays]
I… I'm gonna go and get some napkins.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Okay. That…
[phone chimes]
[Beatrix] I cannot imagine why you'd be calling and not texting.
Yeah, figured this was a long shot.
I couldn't find your whiskey.
I did, however, find your Crocs,
but I'll reserve that "I told you so" until you get back.
I know that your mission for Rosalind is top secret,
but, uh, I hope it's going well.
Sorry for the rather pathetic voicemail.
Um, just… call me back
or text me.
I know you're gonna hate me for saying this, but, um,
I'm worried about you.
Someone is starting early. [chuckles]
[chuckles] When I asked you to meet me, you promised not to tell Silva.
Your secret's safe with me. It's from my time at Alfea.
Andreas would call me a fucknut Specialist all day,
so I'd come here and drown my sorrows all night.
I was, by the way, a fucknut.
You really hate him, don't you?
Andreas is a bully. I hate bullies.
Anyway, I come bearing gifts.
That is a lot of paper.
It's a big catering company.
You really think that's how the Blood Witches got in?
-[Sebastian] Mm-hmm. -Through catering?
If a Blood Witch took your friend, then yeah.
Think about it. Caterers are everywhere. They're practically invisible.
I mean, I pulled background on all employees plus contractors.
We can cross-reference between Beatrix and the fairies who got their magic taken,
and see if there are any links.
I guess it's a… good place to start.
I'll get on it now.
"Now" as in at the pub?
Mm-hmm.
All right, so, um…
I do not condone underage drinking. Never. Wouldn't think about it.
But I equally do not condone
sitting in a pub avoiding your friends and doing work.
I'm the only fairy that can take on a Blood Witch,
and I have a history with them.
Just… I gotta stay clear. They don't even know about Beatrix yet.
-I don't know how they're gonna react. -I get it.
-You're the only one I can tell. -Totally.
But you're also a fucking teenager, Bloom.
Don't forget that.
[Sebastian clicks tongue, sniffs]
I gotta run, but put all her drinks on my tab.
Get drunk. Act your age.
Have fun.
Bloom.
No?

There's a place nearby that I wanna show you.
I should stay. My friends--
All have their own stuff going on, and you're allowed to have yours too.
♪ My heart goes… ♪
Thank you. This is the nicest thing you've ever done for me.
Well, I thought that's what we were doing today. Acting nice.
Flora's my best friend, so if you do anything to hurt her--
Relax. We're just having a bit of fun.
Except you don't just have fun. You ruin people.
I know that firsthand.
And before you say you've changed,
I don't know what happened between you, Dane, and Beatrix,
but I have a feeling it'll take more than a new boyfriend for him to get over it.
I've been nothing but nice to him.
-I was clear about what it was. -Yeah, you were just having fun, right?
See you around.
[Dane sighs]
[sighs]
-[mystical tingling] -[sighs] Sorry.
It's pathetic, I know.
I'm the strongest Specialist dating the hottest one,
but one look from Riven--
You don't have to say it. I can feel it.
Relationships are tough. Don't let it get to you.
Back at ya.
I heard what happened with Sam.
I'm sure Terra's already blaming you, but don't join her. It's not your fault.
Sure about that? 'Cause my magic's actually the reason he left.
Mind magic must be so fucking hard. Dealing with everyone's emotions.
I can barely deal with my own.
Today at the Bastion, I felt you. You were crystal clear.
That's why I love training so much.
Right? You don't think, you don't feel, you just do.
You should try it. [chuckles]
And I don't mean training. I mean just get out of your head.
Kind of impossible for a mind fairy to get out of their head.
I could feel you too, you know? This morning.
Rosalind is the strongest mind fairy in the Otherworld,
and you almost blocked her.
You're powerful, Musa,
and once you're in a situation where you act on instinct,
you'll realize that.
[Rosalind] Apologies for the cloak-and-dagger.
Not sure how paranoid we should be.
-Still no word on Beatrix? -No.
I was hoping one of your old Blood Witch contacts might know more.
I ran the banquet guest list by them. Nobody of interest.
But my contacts are old guard. None of them want to fight with fairies.
-Somebody does. -Clearly.
Whoever's summoning the scrapers is using them to agitate.
To let the next generation know that the Blood Witches are back.
Hammerström was killed last night.
Whoever the new faction is, they're powerful and they're making moves.
[Rosalind sighs]
[sighs]
[tense suspenseful music]
[Andreas] Marco is the most powerful air fairy at Alfea.
He's yours.
I just need to know where Beatrix is.
That could be arranged.
-[whooshing] -[man groans]
[Andreas breathes heavily]
Tell me where she is.
And if you so much as think about doing weird Blood Witch shit, you're dead.
That would be scary
if this loser were actually a Blood Witch.

-Oh yeah, it's… it's terrifying. -[Saul] I want you back before sundown.
-Or what? -[Saul] Excuse me?
Trying to figure out the consequence.
Will it be a Silva-style lecture or a Rosalind-style torture?
It's hard to nail down your moral center lately.
[Saul] Sky, whatever your feelings are towards me, put them aside.
You're speaking to your commanding officer.
I'll be back at a reasonable hour.
[phone beeps]
-That was a bit harsh. -Yeah, I know. I know.
But I finally feel like my own person.
I was free.
And now he's back.
Don't you think he's just looking out for you?
Worried Andreas wouldn't be the person you needed.
So, he scared him away?
Andreas has barely said anything to me since the banquet.
Right when I was… starting to get him.
I don't think Andreas's mood has anything to do with you and Silva.
Really? Why?
If I've learned anything working with Rosalind,
it's that things are just… more complicated than they seem.
That does sound like Rosalind.
-You know what? -What?
I think you're right. I think we need to just… let loose.
-[chuckling] Let loose? -Mm-hmm.
Oh. Okay. That kind of let loose.

-Well, the dance party's begun. -Do you wanna go back?
If I did, I'd have ten minutes of fun.
-Then somebody would get too drunk. -[chuckles]
I'd feel I have to wrangle the group. They'd get mad at me for ruining the fun.
I'd get mad at myself for that bothering me,
then we'd all go to sleep angry.
So, do you wanna go back or not?
-[Aisha chuckles] -'Cause that sounds lovely.
I'm more of an acquaintance guy than a friend guy.
It's easier to go after what I want when not worried about others.
-What is it that you want? -I mean, you're here, aren't you?
Wait. Was that creepy? That was meant to be sweet. Shit.
That depends on where you're taking me. Murder shed. Creepy.

[Aisha] Very sweet.

[Aisha chuckles]
-Hey, you good? -Mm-hmm.
Oof! You're not a good liar.
Is this where the bad boy offers the new girl a hit?
Nah, new girl would say no.
Or new girl's friends would find out. Either way, drama waiting to happen.
-What did she say to you? -More drama waiting to happen.
Here you are. How do we feel about darts? Me and Kat versus--
What did you say to him?
You just couldn't leave it alone, could you?
I didn't say anything.
[sighs heavily] Ta-da.
Drama. [clears throat]
I was just looking out for you. He's not a good guy.
According to who? You?
No. Like, objectively. Trust me.
Even if that were true, who the hell cares?
I'm not proposing to him. We're literally just friends hanging out.
I know you, Flora.

[tense suspenseful music]
[Stella] The ruin she's talking about is this abandoned lodge outside of town.
Yeah. It's an old townie hang out.
Remember the summer we found beer bottles and the creepy doll?
The Specialists are wasted, but I could grab--
Nobody's grabbing anyone or going anywhere.
Guys, this is a trap.
-[Stella] You don't know that. Stella, you're not thinking clearly.
Nobody's seen Beatrix for days, Rosalind leaves
and suddenly you're getting a text asking for help.
-How does that make sense? -It does look a bit suspicious.
I don't care. We have to do something.
We'll tell Rosalind, but, um…
I know for a fact she is at the Capitol because she's handling this.
How do you know that?
Rosalind told me that Beatrix was kidnapped.
-What?! -Bloom!
She told me not to tell anyone. She didn't want panic.
We're all a little drunk. This isn't a good time to make decisions.
Let's just go back to the suite, and we… we'll figure it out there, okay?
I'm sorry.
Thought you were nuts when you wanted to bring our gear.
Yeah, well, better safe than sorry.
Sky! Sky, what are you doing? What are you doing?
We are going after Beatrix.
Stella told you?
She told me what was going on. It'd be nice if my girlfriend did.
Did she tell you it's a trap?
The Blood Witches are trying to lure fairies to steal their magic.
We've been training for this. Specialists can take out scrapers,
while mind fairies protect us from Blood Witch magic.
Mind fairies good for something? Present. I'm in.
-Wait, so we are going? -No.
We are not going. Guys, we can't go anywhere near that lodge.
It is not safe for fairies. Any fairies.
-We're gonna go back to Alfea and-- -Bloom. I'm going.
For once my magic's useful. I need this.
We got this. Call Silva. Get everyone back to Alfea.
I'll text you when we have Beatrix.
Wait. Has anyone seen Aisha?
[phone vibrates]
[Aisha] I can't remember the last time I just did nothing.
-[Grey] The curse of the overachiever. -[chuckles]
[water laps shore]
What's that about by the way?
Oh, easy. Family.
My parents run a bunch of hydro-energy facilities
on the border of Andros.
Their plan was for me was to go to school near home,
graduate, and take over.
The idea that I wanted to come all the way to Alfea and go into academia?
Not ideal.
You have to achieve to prove you made the right choice?
[gentle romantic ballad plays]
It's weird how we can resent our families, but still want their approval.

Mm-hmm.
[tense music plays]
Because that's not annoying.
Sorry I'm not all calm while my friends and boyfriend waltz into a trap.
[Stella] This is what they've trained for.
You don't have to save the day. I know that's a tough pill to swallow.
You're right. I could sit and dictate like a princess. Not risk myself at all.
-Is that really what you think? -If the crown fits…
You really think I wanna sit here and do nothing?
I can't go.
Physically, I cannot leave the border of Alfea.
Because Rosalind, at the request of my mum,
implanted this thing in me to control me.
I mean, I'm basically wearing a magical leash.
So if you really wanna know what being a princess means,
this is it.

-What? Are you hurt? -[Musa] There were scrapers. I got bitten.
Only for a second, but…
there's something wrong with my magic.
Your magic is going to falter.
If it only bit you for a second, it'll be temporary.
Scrapers need to completely drain you for the effect to be permanent.
-It'll go back to normal? -[Flora] Yes.
-How'd you know? -Been studying them.
-[Bloom] What about Sky and Riven? -[Musa] I don't know.
Andreas came out of nowhere and started fighting them.
But I don't think it's just him.
I could feel somebody else in his mind.
A Blood Witch. We need to break the connection, Musa.
-What else could you feel? -Anger. Years and years of anger.
A grudge, like whoever's controlling Andreas knows him.
O-okay. J-just stay where you are. Don't move. Silva's on his way.
Okay.

Oh my God. I have to go.

Ballsy of you to come alone.
I assumed all the scrapers would be at the lodge for your little trap.
[Sebastian] Good assumption.
They're on their way back now. Won't take long.
No, you'll already be back at Alfea with me.
-Because right now you're powerless. -Oh.
-Blood Witch magic won't work on fairies. -Also true.
However… [snickers]

Devin was, uh… [chuckles]
…not the best mind fairy.
But then I got a few contenders.
[crackling]
[static distorting]
Whoever your contenders are,
they're not me.
[fire roaring]
No need to show off. I know you're powerful, Bloom.
I know everything about you.
Where you grew up. What sports you played as a little kid.
What your parents do for a living. Uh, adoptive parents, obviously.
I also know about the other ones.
You know who… who my birth parents are?
Just think.
If, uh…
if you stayed with me, you could have all the answers by now.
Maybe it's not too late.
Don't you want all the answers?
You could have them if you joined me.
[suspenseful music]
[Sebastian] I guess not.
[Aisha] Bloom!
[Bloom] Hey. Oh, great timing.
[water sloshing]
-[Aisha] What happened? -I'll tell you later.
[tense dramatic music]
I know what I'm talking about. I did the research.
I'm sure you did, but Musa is my friend, so I'd prefer to check it myself.
Why do you always have to second-guess me?
Most of the time you need second-guessing.
-Like with Riven. -This isn't about Riven.
But, yeah, Riven is a perfect example of you not thinking things through,
then making a terrible decision I have to clean up.
It'd be easier to talk about what's happening here
if we could actually talk about what's happening.
And what's that?
You're jealous.
What?
Oh, come on, Terra. Admit it. It kills you when I succeed without you.
Is that really what you think?
If I'm so horrible, why are we even friends?
Sometimes I ask myself the same question.
[indistinct background chatter]
[Rosalind] What's the word on Marco?
We found him. Outside the lodge. Completely drained.
Everyone, back to your rooms now!
Ladies, did you have a nice night?
Saul told me you've broken the connection.
-Does that mean you found the Blood Witch? -Sebastian.
Little shit.
-Where is he now? -[Aisha] In the First World.
There's a portal in his shop.
What did he tell you? Did he say anything?
He said that he knew my birth parents.
And that he'd tell me if I betrayed you.
Told you Blood Witches fight dirty.
We can use that.
I shouldn't have gone to that pub.
No, you shouldn't.
But in the grand scheme of things, it's a minor fuckup.
Take the win.
Thank you.
[coughing, spluttering]
-[Stella] Hey. -What?!
[Stella] Hey, you're okay. You're okay. It's okay.
Beatrix, you were kidnapped by a Blood Witch,
but it happened a few days ago, and you're safe now, okay?
Uh, the last thing I remember was one of those
scraper things coming after me.
[softly] No…
[breathes shakily]
Oh God, I'm so sorry, Beatrix.
Fuck.
-I'm so sorry. What I said was awful. -No. No.
You were right. Of course you're right. I'm jealous.
Riven and I kissed.
Like, a few years ago.
We fermented our own beer one night.
-[chuckles softly] -That's really nerdy, I know.
But we got drunk, and I kissed him.
Why didn't you tell me?
Because it only lasted for a few seconds before I pulled away.
It was… awkward.
And then to move it from awkward to mortifying, I…
vomited in my hand in front of him.
-[chuckling] Oh my God. -[giggling] I know.
Then I don't know if he was embarrassed that I… was sick after we kissed
or if he was embarrassed because
we kissed at all,
but afterwards he started ignoring me,
which felt like shit, so I did the same.
It was a cold war.
I didn't know you two had history.
Please, it's ancient history, and that's not what I'm jealous of.
[hesitates] You and Riven are a terrible idea,
but I will support you
because I know you'll do it anyway.
[clicks tongue] Thank you.
You're fearless, Flora.
In who you are and what you want.
And that's--
The real thing I'm jealous of is how easily you
are you.
What is this about, Terra?
Before Riven and I kissed, I knew it wasn't what I wanted,
but I had to try it.
And then when he ignored me,
it gave me an out.
He was the problem. [sniffles]
And then I met Dane, who…
Total opposite. Maybe he's the right guy.
But, of course, Dane didn't even like me, so…
he was the problem.
But I think I knew at the back of my mind that they weren't the problem. I was.
Hey, nothing about you is a problem.
But one thing is.
I think
I… [breathes shakily]
…pick shitty, unattainable guys because
I'm… not into guys.
You can say it out loud.
Uh…
I think I'm gay. Is that… weird?
God, no. It's perfect. Terra, you're perfect, okay? Come here.
[giggles emotionally] Oh!
-Hey, are you good? -Yeah.
I'm really glad that you're back.
I'm so sorry. I should have come to you. I had to fight the Blood Witch and I--
Saved my life.
I thought I had it, Bloom.
You broke the connection, but it only lasted a second.
Do what you have to do. Please.
It's okay. It's okay.
[Sky] It was too strong.
[groans]
Sebastian was too strong.
How's Andreas?
[somber instrumental music]
[Sky grunts]
Silva's bringing his body back to the school.
[Bloom] Oh!
[breathing heavily]
[Sky] He was gonna kill Silva. I didn't have a choice.
[Sky] I'm sorry.
I didn't have a choice.
[sobbing]
-I should have got there sooner. -You got there when you were supposed to.
You and Bloom saved their lives.
I mean, none of them might have come back if you hadn't…
Where's Musa?
[Riven] I need some help.
[ominous instrumental music]
Somebody help me.
I need some help.
[tense instrumental music]
