Busy beginning with lots of heavy story. Penny is still funny suffering the side effects of a small curse on his hands:) Still don't know what happened to Chistopher Plover in Fillory from last season

The show has added more music into the series, this episode it is in the form of Martin 'The Beast' singing any chance he gets – first song "If Love Were All". He sings throughout this whole episode it is just plain weird – or some evil plot, time will tell?

Fillory is suffering from a lack of farming magic so Eliot the High King comes up with "the Royal" solution.

Alice and Quentin have another awkward moment.

Battle magic is on the topic of discussion at Brakebills to teach in class again, which is the only thing that can help – which is why the Dean took it off the books for 38 years, makes perfect sense...

So a previous teacher called Bigby a 500 year old Pixie hid the battle spells in the library to be used "some day" when they see reason again.

Professor (I'm hot) Pearl is recruited to help the team to find the missing spells and offers to help Penny with his particular problem and a little be more. Eliot needs a bit of stress release but Fen puts her finger down, let's go with that.

Marina runs from Julia in her quest for seeking bloody revenge on the Fox.

CacoDemon tats are on the menu to save the day (pretty cool), they are to help the team and Alice when she uses the uber "Rynaman Ultra" spell. The team go back to Fillory for some unmentioned reason?

Martin breaks out into another song called "At Long Last Love" by Cole Porter asorta sounds like Coldwater, still wondering the reason behind this – though he sings it well, episode ends.

Just a little point of note, the cigarette exchange at the end is out of sequence.

Great opening into a forest - dark and heavy music to be let down by finding out 'god power' saved Alice which is a cheap way of saving the day – meh. A lot of glib remarks to let you know the show likes to poke fun at itself. However Penny is so funny, just walking around holding onto a box which holds his hands that he keeps looking at. Then the show basically follows a never ending list of quests to make the story move along and the dialogue is just people reacting to each situation. Julia runs around with Martin making deals and they start hunting for the Fox to seek deadly revenge on Earth.

Finally the show has introduced some music into the series at key locations which is always welcoming.

Kings & Queens are crowned, bridges are found and they go off into castle Whitespire's armoury room to win the day - which is funny. Quentin and Alice try to rekindle their love for each other sort of... a seed is planted you'll get it :) Julia and Henry talk about removing Julia's shade (pain/love center) which looks and sounds interesting. Then at the end of the show, the team have to go back to Brakebills on Earth except for Eliot who needs to stay in Filory as the High King.

This episode feels like a filler building you up to cooler stuff to come and the teaser to the next episode is why :)
