The Magicians

In last Season’s finale, magic was once again flowing thanks to the heroics of the team. Dean Fogg got to reopen Brakebills, though now on a magic ration from the Head Librarian. And that Librarian has trapped Alice for breaking their deal. The rest of the group is back on Earth with no memory of their past magical selves. Alice keeps warning Fogg that the monster from the castle will escape by jumping bodies – and even the gods are afraid of that. And, in fact, the power has overtaken Eliot.

Eliot is living through an amazing loop of mellow fun back on campus at Brakebills. But that persistent knocking at the door reveals that someone is trying to get in. That someone turns out to be Charlton, the man that The Monster had possessed before he was inside of Eliot. He tells Eliot that he can communicate with his friends if he can find a door in his own worst memories. He tasks Eliot with figuring: what does he not want to think about? He needs to find it in order to find the door.

Penny is in the underworld, serving out his seemingly infinite employment with The Library. He brings in an employee named Derek and challenges his way of thinking, making him question who is at the center of each story.
