Previously on "The Magicians"...
God. Shut up.
[SLOWLY] What's happening to you
looks just like what happened to my mom.
The episodes didn't stop when I was born.
They got worse.
When she's alone, everything's normal,
but when you show up...
I still mess her up.
The creatures you call Takers...
do you know what they are?
They are guard dogs.
Their realm is a security measure,
a barrier between your world and the world of the Dead.
The Dead will ruin Fillory.
We must stop this, whatever the cost.
Well, the cost is blowing up the entire planet,
- which is... - A decent option.
In the center of Fillory is a clockwork heart
built by dwarves.
If I wound the clock backward, it would...
it would destroy Fillory.
What about the World Seed, from Q's page?
If we could find it, we could use it to build a new world...
a new Fillory.
I intended to rescue my people
from this chaotic place,
so I also built an ark.
- How do they feel? - Like ghost fingers.
They work, but magically they still feel severed.
The Couple just got the last thing they need.
They have the Seed, the Page, and the Panel.
We got to tell the others.
They need to steal that seed now.
Guys, Alice has an exit.
Get to the roof.
- [BELLS JINGLING] - Ho, ho, ho, motherfuckers.
[BRIGHT HOLIDAY MUSIC]
Oh, hey, Alice.
Ooh, did I sleep till December?
I couldn't resist giving out a few more gifts
while I'm here.
Given your quest-heavy lifestyle,
there's no guarantee that any of you
will live to see Christmas.
Sit. Have a cookie.
[BELLS JINGLING]
What is that?
No idea. It's for Eliot.
Is that a Microplane for Josh?
He already has six.
Do you question how you bend light?
Well, I don't question how I pick gifts.
Here, put your finger right here, please.
Looking for yours?
You already got it.
- Huh? - Long time back.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
I put it in a locked drawer in Quentin's desk.
What, you... you gave me that?
So what did the page turn out to say?
It was... was a spell. It...
grew a seed into a world, but why did you put it there?
- What if I'd ignored it or... - But you didn't.
You needed something,
get back in the game.
You weren't gonna pass on a mystery
you thought your guy was working on.
I'm very sorry for your loss.
It really sucks.
Well, now you know.
That page and wherever that quest took you,
wasn't his story.
It was yours, Alice.
For what it's worth, I think he'd be really proud of you...
the way you keep on fighting.
I told you... I told you you were good.
[SCOFFS]
I still don't know if that's true.
Hey. This is how it works.
You do your best.

Thanks, Santa.
Oh, this is wrapped really tight.
Santa got me a bracelet?
It's the exact right grade
- for the truffle-shaving technique... - This is so thoughtful.
José Andrés showed me the last time we hung out.
- What is this even for? - Oh, oh, oh, oh.
A-fucking-plus. This is handy and sort of chic.
Oh, it's a surprise! I love surprises.
Is this baby shit?
Yep. It's baby shit.
Fillory needs you. Now!
Achtung, miscreants.
There is no uncrucial portion of this.
As per several super-chatty bunnies
from our super buddy Rafe,
the Dark King is planning on opening a portal
to the Underworld tonight.
Now, here's the plan.
Part the first...
Rapture Fillory. Margo and I will go to Fillory.
Activate Umber's Ark.
And then we go to the Clockwork Heart.
How will you know they're all raptured?
Everyone?
Wait, um, I know a thingy.
It's in the castle,
so if we just go there and grab it...
Great. Moving on. We will turn back the clock,
and then we get ready to say good-bye to Fillory.
W-with you still on it?
Obviously not. We need to GTFO.
You need a traveler.
23 can't aim.
His pervo buddy Hyman's not speaking to us,
Gavin's still in the hospital.
Oh, Peach, or whatever your name is.
Unfortunately, when I travel, it's kind of through time.
And puts you in the crosshairs
of a time psycho, so, no.
Meanwhile, on Earth,
Team WorldSeed...
Alice, Fen, Zelda, you will retrieve the Seed
from its special container and... bloom it.
- Where? - It's in my vagina.
Uh, great.
I mean, circumstances are wacky.
- Won't that make it tough to... - Neitherlands.
More stable there.
Wouldn't Fillory be better, since...
Not at all.
In fact, counterproductive, given imploding.
Okay, Peach, I get you're nervous,
but this isn't our first donkey show,
which leads me to something actually crucial to the plan.
No presh, but...
New Fillory better have a wellspring.
[CHALK TAPPING ON BOARD]
Or we permanently lose magic.
The spell says we can make the Seed anything,
so it should be doable.
Great. Now...

No? And break.

Why didn't you tell them not to do that either?
I tried!

or that might do more damage.

Professor, we have to tell her.
She is trapped here

with my mother.

Good. Tell Kady the Seed is in the lab.
Why did you attack Julia?
Because she and your child would die
if Eleanor had performed the goddamn surgery.
Yeah, well, she's dying now, so...
If you had succeeded in delicately separating the cord,
it would be rendered useless.
Quick, rough cut...
counterintuitive, yes, I know.
- The cord goes into a state of shock. - [SIGHS]
Allowing it a chance for implantation.

you need to attach it to someone else,

a clearly very powerful traveler baby.

The Circumstances control panel is gone,
and the Moon is not gonna make this easy.
So choice is, do it here where the casting's jacked
or let it die?

even if it doesn't end up as Fillory.
Okay. I'll get started.
What about Eliot, Margo, and Josh?

Let's just hope they're having more luck than we are.

But... this thing's got to get done, so...

Um, okay. Okay.

Huh, that was weird. [CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]
Uh, there's Broken Bay

You can't just describe it.
You need to give it your memories.
Oh. Okay.
My Fillory...
I remember...
the first time...
I saw a Pegasus.
I was ten.
Only in Fillory.
I remember the first time...
I saw my dad use magic
to make a knife.
And then he wouldn't show me 'cause I'm a girl.
I remember
my dad gave me away to a stranger.
And that's where I realized
Fillory kind of sucks sometimes.
- What are you doing? - I'm talking about my Fillory.
That place could be, uh, backwards as shit.
And I'm thinking I don't want to replicate that.
We kind of need a wellspring, so...
[CHUCKLES] Right.
[SIGHS] Can't I just...
have the best of Fillory?
The best of us, of Earth.
Plus the best of those cool movies Todd and I watched.
That's the home I want.
That's what we deserve.
