Legacies (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 2 - There's No I In Team, or Whatever - full transcript
Hope has to relinquish control and allow Josie and the Super Squad to enact a risky plan that could save Landon. Landon and Cleo meet in Malivore's darkness and learn more about one another. Meanwhile, Lizzie, Kaleb and Ethan volunteer together, and all does not go according to plan.
CLEO:
I will never forget this day.
[groaning]
CLEO:
It is the day
I learned of magic.
Our greatest warrior had been
poisoned in battle.
The only solution was
a powerful transfusion ritual
to magically transfer
the poison
into someone who had been
exposed to it before.
Someone immune.
Da ina.

HOPE:
Cleo showed me that memory
for a reason.
If we can find a way
to replicate the spell,
then we can transfer Malivore
out of Landon.
If you're all cool with that.
Yeah. Since
when are you all
about collabin'?
Since
MG pointed out that Malivore's
been trying to splinter us.
Solid.
Look, I know
that I sometimes like
to call the shots.
Um, well...
Right.
Okay. Okay.
All the times,
but I can adapt.
There's no "I" in "team,"
or whatever. Right?
Uh... right.
Lizzie and I are on Team Hope.
Same. So I assume that
the "yeas" have it?
JED:
Yeah.
I mean, yea.
Did Cleo also
muse you the blueprints
for this braid?
No.
No blueprints. We're just
gonna have to figure it out.
Together.
"No blueprints."
Anything for my boy Landon.
But are we even sure
he's still in there?
We don't know for sure.
I have to believe
that he is.
Either way,
I need Malivore out of him.
Then there's only
one thing left to do.
We need, like,
a catchphrase or something.
Uh... Super Squad on three?
One, two...
What's in the box?
[sighs]
You're not gonna
like the answer.
Yeah, I don't like a lot
of things right now.
Like how I just
straight-up lied
to Hope about Landon.
A necessary evil. Here.
[clears throat]
What's this?
"Movie in the Square"?
Our school
still owes community service
for last year's football fiasco.
So it's time to
pay the piper.
I'm gonna need you
to supervise our students
while we set up the event.
No.
The-the Squad just came up with
a plan to help Cleo and Landon.
Hmm. Lonely Club, remember?
That doesn't just
mean keeping secrets
and drinking my bourbon. No.
It means we have
to do the things
that no one wants to do.
Yeah, well,
this definitely qualifies.
[chuckles]
Don't worry.
You'll have backup.
LIZZIE: This shirt is not
working for me.
I've tried dressing it up,
going casual,
but it's useless.
I still look like a volunteer.
Which you are.
I need to be a cute volunteer
so that when
we're done setting up,
Ethan and I can
enjoy the movie.
Do I even want to
know what that means?
Get your mind
out of the gutter.
I just want to get
to know him better.
All I know about Ethan is that
he likes football and he's hot.
But I don't even know if Ethan
is epic romance material.
Which is why
I have compiled
a helpful checklist.
Videt.
JOSIE:
"Holds doors open.
"Plays guitar.
Speaks French"?
Oui.
"Willing to risk
his life for me
at the drop of a hat"?
Is that so much to ask?
JOSIE:
That sounds perfect for you.
HOPE:
That looks perfect.
Why doesn't our transfusion
braid look like that?
Uh, they recommend lion's hair.
And what did you use?
Shoelaces, mostly.
But we'll
make it happen, Hope.
We promise.
WADE:
Have you figured out who
we'll be transferring
Malivore into yet?
I'll give you one guess.
You're being discharged.
Congratulations.
[groans]
[toilet flushes]
[sighs]
Don't forget your bill,
Mr. Clarke.
Wait. This must be a mistake.
It's not.
Speaking of debt,
about that favor you owe me.
[distant screaming,
flames whooshing]
[screaming]
[screams continue]
[crying]
[sobbing]
[growls]
[shouting]
[crying]
No.
Please!
I cannot watch them die anymore.
End this now.
I will give you what you want.
[screaming continues]
I do not have the answer
as yet, but it will come
in time.
Just end this suffering.
I'm sorry.
[screams continue]
I can't.
I'm not Malivore.
Landon Kirby?
I know we've never met before,
but if you were about to give
Malivore what he wants,
we need to get you out of here.
Now.
Sorry, Hope, but this
conversation is over.
I beg to differ.
Consto.
[groans]
Would you stop magic-ing me?
Sure.
Once you remember
that you owe me one.
Look, you're
Malivore's son,
just like Landon is.
That makes you the ideal host.
If we put him inside of you,
then there's far less chance
of rejection.
All my father's ever done
is reject me.
Do you even have a way
to get Daddy dearest out of me?
It's a work in progress.
But if Landon and Malivore
have been sharing a brain,
then Landon might know a way to
put an end to your dad for good.
Might?
Why would I put my new and
amazingly fragile human body
at risk for a plan you
so clearly lack confidence in?
Because being human means
having a conscience.
Oh.
Besides, if you help us
put an end to Malivore,
then you can finally
have your freedom.
And you know, you
won't have to live
with the guilt of knowing
that you let us all down.
Trust me, it's the worst.
Well, look, I'm grateful.
I'd gladly dog-sit for
the weekend, even help you move,
but I am gonna
draw the line
at becoming a skinsuit
for my father.
I really am sorry.
I guess I'm still
a mud guy after all.
[lively chatter]
ETHAN:
I'm really
glad you came.
But I'm hoping that our next
date involves less manual labor.
If there is a second date,
maybe we can do something
that we both enjoy.
Not a problem.
Josie said that you are also
a secret comic book nerd.
Is your arm okay?
Oh, yeah.
Um, still a little sore
from tossing the old pigskin
around the other day.
That's another thing
we have in common.
Hey, can I get a program?
Thanks.
You've done more than you know.
So, who's your
favorite superhero?
By the way, I think
it's really cool
that you're into all this stuff.
Hard to say.
It's a long list.
ALARIC:
This is pointless.
If we don't have Clarke,
we don't have a host.
He'll show.
He's different now.
He wants redemption,
even if he won't admit it.
Oh, I see.
So this plan hinges
on Clarke being a good person?
He'll show.
Mm-hmm.
You wanted salt, right?
This is all the salt.
You know where we can
find great salt? Italy.
Where you should go. With me.
Dreaming big, huh?
I've never even
been to Florida.
It's not just a dream.
I talked to my mom about you,
and she said
that we could visit her
in Europe over the break.
If you'd want.
Let me get the rest
of the supplies first.
Sweet braid work, bro.
Thanks, bro.
And thanks to Grove Hill
for having a zoo.
This lion's hair is
so much easier to work with.
HOPE:
Team update.
How's everyone doing?
WADE:
We're just
about ready for you to put up
the anti-magic barrier.
Uh, no. That'll block
the transfusion.
We need a dark object,
something that'll contain him.
Oh, I'll get a black candle.
Although I hate having my life
depend on wax.
Oh, relax. This spell
isn't happening.
I'll be damned.
Probably.
Especially if you're assuming
I'm here to help you.
Then why are you?
Well, because I don't
have $81,354.80.
Wait. You want money to do this?
I don't want to
do it at all.
But Hope's right.
The human health care
system is criminal.
[laughs]
And if there's one
thing I've learned
from my father and Triad,
it's that I hate debt.
ALARIC:
Well, lucky for you,
we still have a little bit of
that leprechaun money left over.
W-- Huh?
Don't ask.
Fine.
But there is one more
thing I'll need.
LIZZIE:
He passed the test.
I mean, he's only taking
first-year French,
but Ethan likes
the same things I do,
he's attentive, he even speaks
the same love language.
Words of affirmation, obviously.
He's totally
epic romance material.
So why don't I feel anything?
Are you serious?
While you're over
here trippin' because
football dude don't get
your pigtails twirling,
the girl I dig is trapped
in a hell dimension.
And instead of
rescuing her,
I'm stuck here,
shilling popcorn to townies.
How do you think I feel?
We are here
so that Hope and the team
don't have to be.
So maybe just think
of this stupid gig
as us doing our part.
Which, speaking of,
I'm gonna need
one tiny other thing from you.
It's gonna annoy me, isn't it?
Oh, darn. I'm such a klutz.
Oh, here. Let me help.
Sorry, Kaleb.
We'll be finished
cleaning this up by the time
you get back
from your break.
Thanks.Of course.
MG?!
Shh!
[whispering]
Keep it down.
She'll hear us.
[Lizzie laughing]
You just won't die, will you?
Oh, on the contrary.
I've never been
more alive,
and I'd like to stay that way.
But there's this thing
Hope wants me to do.
All right, well,
tell me what it is,
and I promise you'll be free.
Oh, that's a promise you've made
and broken too many times.
Fool me once
and all that.
Fair. [grunts]
I've definitely made some...
controversial choices
as a father.And why is that?
You created me to serve you.
That's what I did.
I never failed you,
never let you down.
Until you did.Well, after centuries
of your disinterest.
All I wanted was some indication
that you gave a crap about me.
I don't understand
why that was so hard
for you to give.
You're right.
I created you so
I could become you,
and that didn't work.
All I could see
were my own failures.
I should have been
better with you.
I'm sorry.
[chuckles]
Well, that's all
I needed to hear.
You can come in now.
You were right.
He's nervous.
He's so worried about
what you're planning,
he'll say anything.
Hmm. So you're in?
Oh.
I'm in. You weren't wrong.
Guilt sucks.
But revenge?
That's another story.
Lati ina si okunkun.
[gasps]
[groans]
How's he doing?
Not great.
I'm trying to
ease his pain,
not that he deserves it.
[groaning]
Yeah, Clarke's in a bad way,
too.
And werewolves don't have
fairy dust, so...
[yelling]
Hope, hurry.
If I go any faster,
I could cause
permanent damage to Landon.
I get that, but we need
to complete the
transfer before...[grunts]
...that happens.
How'd it go in there?
CLARKE:
Judging by the look
on their faces?
Even worse than last time.
HOPE:
Let's run it again.
From the top.
Hope, you've already
done it ten times.
And we only get one chance
at this, and we have to do it
for real. Maybe
you messed up
Professor Vardemus's
instructions.
JOSIE:
Or maybe we're doing
something wrong.
JOSIE:
You can't do this.
You can't be the one that's
in control of the spell.
Because when Landon's life
is on the line,
you don't exactly
think clearly.
That is why
the simulations keep failing.
What do you want me to do--
just sit back and watch?
Do you know how hard
that would be?
Probably about
as hard
as pulling a maniacal mud man
out of your best friend's
boyfriend
without killing him
or losing her forever.
We all have something
at stake here.
We all care about Landon.
And we all
care about you.
So you can play the whole "There
is no 'I' in 'team'" thing,
but you are the one person
that we all go to
when things get rough.
You think you can do it?
Only if you can
take a step back and trust me.
KALEB:
Okay.
You got some explaining to do.
I am just looking out
for my friends, okay?
From a cutout of Nosferatu?
The human and
the supernatural worlds--
they don't mix, okay?
And when they do,
it never ends well
for the human.
I don't need Ethan
to get in the mix
with that again.
[laughs]
Oh, come on, man.
You're just jealous.
I am an evolved,
21st century feminist
who...
is... also a little jealous
at this moment, yes.
Ah, now we're
getting somewhere.
Come on, brother.
Go on and cozy up
to Dr. Love and tell him
what's on your mind.
Everyone else has today.
[sighs]
Lizzie and I have grown a lot
this year.
Sometimes we've grown apart,
but I always thought
that we'd come back
together
when the timing's right.
Oh, if that time is not now,
why are you stressing
over her going on one date
with your ex-Boy Wonder?
'Cause what if
their time is now?
And our time is never?
CLARKE:
Whoa. Wait.
She's doing the spell?
This wasn't the deal.
She hates me.
With good reason.
HOPE:
Clarke, you have my word.
I'm not gonna let anyone
hurt you, okay? Not even him.
Hope, what if
the sleep spell wears off?
Bro, stop manifesting, okay?
HOPE:
It won't.
And even if it did,
he's in a binding circle.
Are you gonna put
this on, or do we need
two sleeping spells?
Fine, but I want double.
Oh, this isn't about money.
We both know that.
Okay, ready when you are.
Taking a step back, remember?
I mean, don't you need someone
to siphon?
No, I got that covered.
Oh.
Go team.
You sure you want
to do this again?
Only if you promise not
to make me soup again.
Incendia.
[sighs]
So, I'm just gonna ask.
What does Malivore want from me?
He wants to know how to kill
the Tribrid, which I...
Don't say another word.
Malivore and I
share a mind,
so anything that I know...
He knows.
Then we share a predicament.
For Malivore need only
concentrate on what
he wishes to know,
and I will inspire him
to realize it.
In time.
I've been doing my best
to think of anything else,
but the longer
I'm in this place,
the more likely I will fail.
I mean, I'm-I'm pretty rusty
at conversation, but
I can try and help you take
your mind off of things.
What shall we discuss?
Uh, my go-to is generally
Star Wars.
What is Star Wars?
What?
Okay, um, how about we go deep?
What is going deep?
Well, I-I ask you a question,
then you answer it honestly,
and then it's your turn.
That sounds uncomfortable.
Therefore, mentally engaging.
Uh, have you ever
been in love?
Once.
His name was Leonardo da Vinci.
Wait. The Leonardo da Vinci?
He was not the man the world now
knows back then. He was a boy.
[giggles]
With a brilliant mind,
an insatiable thirst
for knowledge,
and the kindest eyes
I'd ever seen.
Sounds like we've both
experienced epic love.
[sighs]
Yes.
And it is probably best
that I never do so again.
The stronger my feelings
are for someone,
the more powerfully
I inspire them.
My love for Leo helped
change the world.
He advanced art and science
so profoundly
in the time we were together,
but...
had he been any less of a man,
I shudder
to think
what would have happened.
I shudder
when I think about how becoming
the Tribrid could change Hope.
Change the
supernatural world.
For better or for worse?
Well, if I knew that,
I'd shudder less.
A Tribrid does sound
quite terrifying,
now that I think of it.
The Tribrid.
The first of her kind.
An immortal,
unstoppable force of nature
who just so happens
to be my girlfriend.
And the daughter of one of
history's most ruthless killers.
Sorry. Um, we shouldn't
even be talking about Hope.
It is too late.
[gasps]
Because I've just had an idea.
The idea.
ALARIC:I know this isn't
easy for you,
watching the people you love in
danger, because of a decision
you've made.
I've been there more times
than I can admit.
How do you deal?
Bourbon mostly.
[laughs softly]
And belief.
I try to remind myself
that there's a reason why
I trust these people
in the first place.
HOPE:None of them
would have
to go through any of this
if I just became the Tribrid.
Hope, we've been over this.
You don't want that.
None of us want that.
I know.
What I don't know is
if it's the right decision.
I used to think that I would
do anything for Landon,
but why not that?
Uh, I think he's
coming out of it.
Don't know how.
I dosed him with
enough fairy dust,
he should be high
as a kite right now.
Wait, wait.
Landon's body can't take this.
We have to stop the spell now!
No. We need to go faster!
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
[gasps]
It's done.
I think we earned
that trip to Europe.
ALARIC:
The question is,
did it work?
I don't think so.
I'm still me.
Nothing happened.
Oh, and I'm still me.
But something
definitely happened.
[clicking]
WADE:
This seems bad.
[roaring]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[yells]
ALARIC:
Jed!
What did you do?
LANDON:
The hardest thing
I've ever done.
I made him useful.
Thanks for that.
It's nice to stretch my legs
every once
in a while.
What did you do to Clarke?
Well, thanks to our friendly
neighborhood muse,
I figured out
your plan.
So instead of
transferring myself into Clarke,
I offered up an alternative.
A dybbuk.
You know, I wanted a
more interesting monster,
like a dragon or a kraken,
but Clarke's human body
couldn't handle that.
ALARIC:
Dybbuk.
It's a parasitic spirit
of Jewish folklore
that imbues its host
with supernatural strength.
But wait.
It gets better,
'cause I told the dybbuk
how lovely Movie in the Square
is this time of year.
Don't worry too much.
Killing a dybbuk is
relatively easy.
All you have to do
is kill the host.
Dr. Saltzman, wait.
Happy hunting.
Tribrid.
[woman screaming on screen]
[gorilla chuffs]
You know what would
make this even better?
A Peanut Butter Blast
milkshake.
ETHAN:
Yeah, I'll go grab one.
No, I got it.
Well, hurry back. It's
almost to the good part.
[dramatic movie music playing]
[gorilla roars]
LIZZIE:
Ugh. What else
could go wrong today?
[growling]
MG:
Lizzie said
she's not into Ethan?
Oh, my God, yeah,
so just, you know,
stop stalling
and take action.
Tell her how you feel
or whatever.
Ah...
After the movie.
[chuckles]
I've waited for long enough.
[dramatic movie music plays]
Where'd she go?
I don't know what happened.
[neck cracking]
I remember the... transfusion
failing, and-and
then I was here.
[cracking]
[groaning]
[growling]
MAN: [on screen]
Ladies and gentlemen,
look at Kong,
the Eighth Wonder of the World.
[growling loudly]
Crap.
[growling]
Leave her alone.
While I do find
your bravado very sexy,
you need to get out of here.
I know that you can
handle yourself,
but I also know a bully
when I see one.
[low growling]
A very weird, misshapen bully.
No. Wait.
[yells, grunts]
[low growling]
HOPE:
Put that down.
We can't kill Clarke.
Oh, I will if I have to.
If it's necessary.
What's necessary is
saving his life.
I gave him my word
that I wouldn't
let anyone hurt him.
And I respect that.
But what if he hurts a lot
of people?
You know, we're supposed
to be working as a team.
And I'm the headmaster.
If it comes between Clarke
and one of my students
or my daughter,
there is no decision to make.
There has to be something else
that we can do.
Well, if you think of
something, let me know.
In the meantime, someone has
to make the hard choice.
You're right.
Ad somnum.
And that someone is me.
This isn't good.
You get him back to the school.
I'm gonna track down Lizzie.
Wait. Shouldn't I
track down Lizzie?
I don't care
which hero move is mine, MG.
We just got to move.
You go after Lizzie.
I'll get Ethan back
to the school.
When he wakes up,
he's gonna have
a lot of questions.
He deserves to hear
the answer from me.
Let's get it.
CLEO:
Oh, do not go.
If you figured out a way
to kill the Tribrid,
you need to get away from me
and out of Malivore, fast.
How does one escape
the darkness?
Speaking from experience,
there are doors that lead you
back to our world. You just
have to find one.
That is not enough information
for me to go on,
especially alone.
Cleo.
You're a muse.
Stop worrying
about other people.
Inspire yourself for a change.
Good luck to you, Landon Kirby.
Cleo?
It was nice to meet you.
Wish it could have been
under different circumstances.
Then maybe we shall meet again.
[growling]
Given my luck today,
I'm going to assume
you didn't
bring me here to fix
the office photocopier.
[growling]
[growling]
Let me guess.
Witch barbecue?
[growls]
I should warn you.
I'm a worrier, so
I'll probably be really stringy!
[growling]
[grunts]
Nobody's eating nobody.
[growls]
Kaleb, Ethan's hurt.
Yeah, I know, I know.
MG's already
looking out for your boy.
His boy.
Kaleb!
Oh.
[grunting]
[growling]
I'm really sorry
for what I have to do to you.
But I made a promise to
the body that you're in,
and I don't like debt
any more than he does.
[growls]
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
[growling]
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
[growling]
[loud groaning]
[sighs]
Hell of a first date, huh?
Honestly, almost getting
Filet-O-Saltzman'd
by a roid rage monster was a
lot better than how it started.
If we're talking fish metaphors,
you do know
that there are plenty
left in the sea.
But Ethan really
came through in the end.
And I know I should probably be
more progressive
than this and all,
I will never forget this day.
[groaning]
CLEO:
It is the day
I learned of magic.
Our greatest warrior had been
poisoned in battle.
The only solution was
a powerful transfusion ritual
to magically transfer
the poison
into someone who had been
exposed to it before.
Someone immune.
Da ina.

[sighs]

HOPE:
Cleo showed me that memory
for a reason.
If we can find a way
to replicate the spell,
then we can transfer Malivore
out of Landon.
If you're all cool with that.
Yeah. Since
when are you all
about collabin'?
Since
MG pointed out that Malivore's
been trying to splinter us.
Solid.
Look, I know
that I sometimes like
to call the shots.
Um, well...
Right.
Okay. Okay.
All the times,
but I can adapt.
There's no "I" in "team,"
or whatever. Right?
Uh... right.
Lizzie and I are on Team Hope.
Same. So I assume that
the "yeas" have it?
JED:
Yeah.
I mean, yea.
Did Cleo also
muse you the blueprints
for this braid?
No.
No blueprints. We're just
gonna have to figure it out.
Together.
"No blueprints."
Anything for my boy Landon.
But are we even sure
he's still in there?
We don't know for sure.
I have to believe
that he is.
Either way,
I need Malivore out of him.
Then there's only
one thing left to do.
We need, like,
a catchphrase or something.
Uh... Super Squad on three?
One, two...
What's in the box?
[sighs]
You're not gonna
like the answer.
Yeah, I don't like a lot
of things right now.
Like how I just
straight-up lied
to Hope about Landon.
A necessary evil. Here.
[clears throat]
What's this?
"Movie in the Square"?
Our school
still owes community service
for last year's football fiasco.
So it's time to
pay the piper.
I'm gonna need you
to supervise our students
while we set up the event.
No.
The-the Squad just came up with
a plan to help Cleo and Landon.
Hmm. Lonely Club, remember?
That doesn't just
mean keeping secrets
and drinking my bourbon. No.
It means we have
to do the things
that no one wants to do.
Yeah, well,
this definitely qualifies.
[chuckles]
Don't worry.
You'll have backup.
LIZZIE: This shirt is not
working for me.
I've tried dressing it up,
going casual,
but it's useless.
I still look like a volunteer.
Which you are.
I need to be a cute volunteer
so that when
we're done setting up,
Ethan and I can
enjoy the movie.
Do I even want to
know what that means?
Get your mind
out of the gutter.
I just want to get
to know him better.
All I know about Ethan is that
he likes football and he's hot.
But I don't even know if Ethan
is epic romance material.
Which is why
I have compiled
a helpful checklist.
Videt.
JOSIE:
"Holds doors open.
"Plays guitar.
Speaks French"?
Oui.
"Willing to risk
his life for me
at the drop of a hat"?
Is that so much to ask?
JOSIE:
That sounds perfect for you.
HOPE:
That looks perfect.
Why doesn't our transfusion
braid look like that?
Uh, they recommend lion's hair.
And what did you use?
Shoelaces, mostly.
But we'll
make it happen, Hope.
We promise.
WADE:
Have you figured out who
we'll be transferring
Malivore into yet?
I'll give you one guess.
You're being discharged.
Congratulations.
[groans]
[toilet flushes]
[sighs]
Don't forget your bill,
Mr. Clarke.
Wait. This must be a mistake.
It's not.
Speaking of debt,
about that favor you owe me.
[distant screaming,
flames whooshing]
[screaming]
[screams continue]
[crying]
[sobbing]
[growls]
[shouting]
[crying]
No.
Please!
I cannot watch them die anymore.
End this now.
I will give you what you want.
[screaming continues]
I do not have the answer
as yet, but it will come
in time.
Just end this suffering.
I'm sorry.
[screams continue]
I can't.
I'm not Malivore.
Landon Kirby?
I know we've never met before,
but if you were about to give
Malivore what he wants,
we need to get you out of here.
Now.
Sorry, Hope, but this
conversation is over.
I beg to differ.
Consto.
[groans]
Would you stop magic-ing me?
Sure.
Once you remember
that you owe me one.
Look, you're
Malivore's son,
just like Landon is.
That makes you the ideal host.
If we put him inside of you,
then there's far less chance
of rejection.
All my father's ever done
is reject me.
Do you even have a way
to get Daddy dearest out of me?
It's a work in progress.
But if Landon and Malivore
have been sharing a brain,
then Landon might know a way to
put an end to your dad for good.
Might?
Why would I put my new and
amazingly fragile human body
at risk for a plan you
so clearly lack confidence in?
Because being human means
having a conscience.
Oh.
Besides, if you help us
put an end to Malivore,
then you can finally
have your freedom.
And you know, you
won't have to live
with the guilt of knowing
that you let us all down.
Trust me, it's the worst.
Well, look, I'm grateful.
I'd gladly dog-sit for
the weekend, even help you move,
but I am gonna
draw the line
at becoming a skinsuit
for my father.
I really am sorry.
I guess I'm still
a mud guy after all.
[lively chatter]
ETHAN:
I'm really
glad you came.
But I'm hoping that our next
date involves less manual labor.
If there is a second date,
maybe we can do something
that we both enjoy.
Not a problem.
Josie said that you are also
a secret comic book nerd.
Is your arm okay?
Oh, yeah.
Um, still a little sore
from tossing the old pigskin
around the other day.
That's another thing
we have in common.
Hey, can I get a program?
Thanks.
You've done more than you know.
So, who's your
favorite superhero?
By the way, I think
it's really cool
that you're into all this stuff.
Hard to say.
It's a long list.
ALARIC:
This is pointless.
If we don't have Clarke,
we don't have a host.
He'll show.
He's different now.
He wants redemption,
even if he won't admit it.
Oh, I see.
So this plan hinges
on Clarke being a good person?
He'll show.
Mm-hmm.
You wanted salt, right?
This is all the salt.
You know where we can
find great salt? Italy.
Where you should go. With me.
Dreaming big, huh?
I've never even
been to Florida.
It's not just a dream.
I talked to my mom about you,
and she said
that we could visit her
in Europe over the break.
If you'd want.
Let me get the rest
of the supplies first.
Sweet braid work, bro.
Thanks, bro.
And thanks to Grove Hill
for having a zoo.
This lion's hair is
so much easier to work with.
HOPE:
Team update.
How's everyone doing?
WADE:
We're just
about ready for you to put up
the anti-magic barrier.
Uh, no. That'll block
the transfusion.
We need a dark object,
something that'll contain him.
Oh, I'll get a black candle.
Although I hate having my life
depend on wax.
Oh, relax. This spell
isn't happening.
I'll be damned.
Probably.
Especially if you're assuming
I'm here to help you.
Then why are you?
Well, because I don't
have $81,354.80.
Wait. You want money to do this?
I don't want to
do it at all.
But Hope's right.
The human health care
system is criminal.
[laughs]
And if there's one
thing I've learned
from my father and Triad,
it's that I hate debt.
ALARIC:
Well, lucky for you,
we still have a little bit of
that leprechaun money left over.
W-- Huh?
Don't ask.
Fine.
But there is one more
thing I'll need.
LIZZIE:
He passed the test.
I mean, he's only taking
first-year French,
but Ethan likes
the same things I do,
he's attentive, he even speaks
the same love language.
Words of affirmation, obviously.
He's totally
epic romance material.
So why don't I feel anything?
Are you serious?
While you're over
here trippin' because
football dude don't get
your pigtails twirling,
the girl I dig is trapped
in a hell dimension.
And instead of
rescuing her,
I'm stuck here,
shilling popcorn to townies.
How do you think I feel?
We are here
so that Hope and the team
don't have to be.
So maybe just think
of this stupid gig
as us doing our part.
Which, speaking of,
I'm gonna need
one tiny other thing from you.
It's gonna annoy me, isn't it?
Oh, darn. I'm such a klutz.
Oh, here. Let me help.
Sorry, Kaleb.
We'll be finished
cleaning this up by the time
you get back
from your break.
Thanks.Of course.
MG?!
Shh!
[whispering]
Keep it down.
She'll hear us.
[Lizzie laughing]
You just won't die, will you?
Oh, on the contrary.
I've never been
more alive,
and I'd like to stay that way.
But there's this thing
Hope wants me to do.
All right, well,
tell me what it is,
and I promise you'll be free.
Oh, that's a promise you've made
and broken too many times.
Fool me once
and all that.
Fair. [grunts]
I've definitely made some...
controversial choices
as a father.And why is that?
You created me to serve you.
That's what I did.
I never failed you,
never let you down.
Until you did.Well, after centuries
of your disinterest.
All I wanted was some indication
that you gave a crap about me.
I don't understand
why that was so hard
for you to give.
You're right.
I created you so
I could become you,
and that didn't work.
All I could see
were my own failures.
I should have been
better with you.
I'm sorry.
[chuckles]
Well, that's all
I needed to hear.
You can come in now.
You were right.
He's nervous.
He's so worried about
what you're planning,
he'll say anything.
Hmm. So you're in?
Oh.
I'm in. You weren't wrong.
Guilt sucks.
But revenge?
That's another story.
Lati ina si okunkun.
[gasps]
[groans]
How's he doing?
Not great.
I'm trying to
ease his pain,
not that he deserves it.
[groaning]
Yeah, Clarke's in a bad way,
too.
And werewolves don't have
fairy dust, so...
[yelling]
Hope, hurry.
If I go any faster,
I could cause
permanent damage to Landon.
I get that, but we need
to complete the
transfer before...[grunts]
...that happens.
How'd it go in there?
CLARKE:
Judging by the look
on their faces?
Even worse than last time.
HOPE:
Let's run it again.
From the top.
Hope, you've already
done it ten times.
And we only get one chance
at this, and we have to do it
for real. Maybe
you messed up
Professor Vardemus's
instructions.
JOSIE:
Or maybe we're doing
something wrong.
JOSIE:
You can't do this.
You can't be the one that's
in control of the spell.
Because when Landon's life
is on the line,
you don't exactly
think clearly.
That is why
the simulations keep failing.
What do you want me to do--
just sit back and watch?
Do you know how hard
that would be?
Probably about
as hard
as pulling a maniacal mud man
out of your best friend's
boyfriend
without killing him
or losing her forever.
We all have something
at stake here.
We all care about Landon.
And we all
care about you.
So you can play the whole "There
is no 'I' in 'team'" thing,
but you are the one person
that we all go to
when things get rough.
You think you can do it?
Only if you can
take a step back and trust me.
KALEB:
Okay.
You got some explaining to do.
I am just looking out
for my friends, okay?
From a cutout of Nosferatu?
The human and
the supernatural worlds--
they don't mix, okay?
And when they do,
it never ends well
for the human.
I don't need Ethan
to get in the mix
with that again.
[laughs]
Oh, come on, man.
You're just jealous.
I am an evolved,
21st century feminist
who...
is... also a little jealous
at this moment, yes.
Ah, now we're
getting somewhere.
Come on, brother.
Go on and cozy up
to Dr. Love and tell him
what's on your mind.
Everyone else has today.
[sighs]
Lizzie and I have grown a lot
this year.
Sometimes we've grown apart,
but I always thought
that we'd come back
together
when the timing's right.
Oh, if that time is not now,
why are you stressing
over her going on one date
with your ex-Boy Wonder?
'Cause what if
their time is now?
And our time is never?
CLARKE:
Whoa. Wait.
She's doing the spell?
This wasn't the deal.
She hates me.
With good reason.
HOPE:
Clarke, you have my word.
I'm not gonna let anyone
hurt you, okay? Not even him.
Hope, what if
the sleep spell wears off?
Bro, stop manifesting, okay?
HOPE:
It won't.
And even if it did,
he's in a binding circle.
Are you gonna put
this on, or do we need
two sleeping spells?
Fine, but I want double.
Oh, this isn't about money.
We both know that.
Okay, ready when you are.
Taking a step back, remember?
I mean, don't you need someone
to siphon?
No, I got that covered.
Oh.
Go team.
You sure you want
to do this again?
Only if you promise not
to make me soup again.
Incendia.
[sighs]
So, I'm just gonna ask.
What does Malivore want from me?
He wants to know how to kill
the Tribrid, which I...
Don't say another word.
Malivore and I
share a mind,
so anything that I know...
He knows.
Then we share a predicament.
For Malivore need only
concentrate on what
he wishes to know,
and I will inspire him
to realize it.
In time.
I've been doing my best
to think of anything else,
but the longer
I'm in this place,
the more likely I will fail.
I mean, I'm-I'm pretty rusty
at conversation, but
I can try and help you take
your mind off of things.
What shall we discuss?
Uh, my go-to is generally
Star Wars.
What is Star Wars?
What?
Okay, um, how about we go deep?
What is going deep?
Well, I-I ask you a question,
then you answer it honestly,
and then it's your turn.
That sounds uncomfortable.
Therefore, mentally engaging.
Uh, have you ever
been in love?
Once.
His name was Leonardo da Vinci.
Wait. The Leonardo da Vinci?
He was not the man the world now
knows back then. He was a boy.
[giggles]
With a brilliant mind,
an insatiable thirst
for knowledge,
and the kindest eyes
I'd ever seen.
Sounds like we've both
experienced epic love.
[sighs]
Yes.
And it is probably best
that I never do so again.
The stronger my feelings
are for someone,
the more powerfully
I inspire them.
My love for Leo helped
change the world.
He advanced art and science
so profoundly
in the time we were together,
but...
had he been any less of a man,
I shudder
to think
what would have happened.
I shudder
when I think about how becoming
the Tribrid could change Hope.
Change the
supernatural world.
For better or for worse?
Well, if I knew that,
I'd shudder less.
A Tribrid does sound
quite terrifying,
now that I think of it.
The Tribrid.
The first of her kind.
An immortal,
unstoppable force of nature
who just so happens
to be my girlfriend.
And the daughter of one of
history's most ruthless killers.
Sorry. Um, we shouldn't
even be talking about Hope.
It is too late.
[gasps]
Because I've just had an idea.
The idea.
ALARIC:I know this isn't
easy for you,
watching the people you love in
danger, because of a decision
you've made.
I've been there more times
than I can admit.
How do you deal?
Bourbon mostly.
[laughs softly]
And belief.
I try to remind myself
that there's a reason why
I trust these people
in the first place.
HOPE:None of them
would have
to go through any of this
if I just became the Tribrid.
Hope, we've been over this.
You don't want that.
None of us want that.
I know.
What I don't know is
if it's the right decision.
I used to think that I would
do anything for Landon,
but why not that?
Uh, I think he's
coming out of it.
Don't know how.
I dosed him with
enough fairy dust,
he should be high
as a kite right now.
Wait, wait.
Landon's body can't take this.
We have to stop the spell now!
No. We need to go faster!
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
[gasps]
It's done.
I think we earned
that trip to Europe.
ALARIC:
The question is,
did it work?
I don't think so.
I'm still me.
Nothing happened.
Oh, and I'm still me.
But something
definitely happened.
[clicking]
WADE:
This seems bad.
[roaring]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[yells]
ALARIC:
Jed!
What did you do?
LANDON:
The hardest thing
I've ever done.
I made him useful.
Thanks for that.
It's nice to stretch my legs
every once
in a while.
What did you do to Clarke?
Well, thanks to our friendly
neighborhood muse,
I figured out
your plan.
So instead of
transferring myself into Clarke,
I offered up an alternative.
A dybbuk.
You know, I wanted a
more interesting monster,
like a dragon or a kraken,
but Clarke's human body
couldn't handle that.
ALARIC:
Dybbuk.
It's a parasitic spirit
of Jewish folklore
that imbues its host
with supernatural strength.
But wait.
It gets better,
'cause I told the dybbuk
how lovely Movie in the Square
is this time of year.
Don't worry too much.
Killing a dybbuk is
relatively easy.
All you have to do
is kill the host.
Dr. Saltzman, wait.
Happy hunting.
Tribrid.
[woman screaming on screen]
[gorilla chuffs]
You know what would
make this even better?
A Peanut Butter Blast
milkshake.
ETHAN:
Yeah, I'll go grab one.
No, I got it.
Well, hurry back. It's
almost to the good part.
[dramatic movie music playing]
[gorilla roars]
LIZZIE:
Ugh. What else
could go wrong today?
[growling]
MG:
Lizzie said
she's not into Ethan?
Oh, my God, yeah,
so just, you know,
stop stalling
and take action.
Tell her how you feel
or whatever.
Ah...
After the movie.
[chuckles]
I've waited for long enough.
[dramatic movie music plays]
Where'd she go?
I don't know what happened.
[neck cracking]
I remember the... transfusion
failing, and-and
then I was here.
[cracking]
[groaning]
[growling]
MAN: [on screen]
Ladies and gentlemen,
look at Kong,
the Eighth Wonder of the World.
[growling loudly]
Crap.
[growling]
Leave her alone.
While I do find
your bravado very sexy,
you need to get out of here.
I know that you can
handle yourself,
but I also know a bully
when I see one.
[low growling]
A very weird, misshapen bully.
No. Wait.
[yells, grunts]
[low growling]
HOPE:
Put that down.
We can't kill Clarke.
Oh, I will if I have to.
If it's necessary.
What's necessary is
saving his life.
I gave him my word
that I wouldn't
let anyone hurt him.
And I respect that.
But what if he hurts a lot
of people?
You know, we're supposed
to be working as a team.
And I'm the headmaster.
If it comes between Clarke
and one of my students
or my daughter,
there is no decision to make.
There has to be something else
that we can do.
Well, if you think of
something, let me know.
In the meantime, someone has
to make the hard choice.
You're right.
Ad somnum.
And that someone is me.
This isn't good.
You get him back to the school.
I'm gonna track down Lizzie.
Wait. Shouldn't I
track down Lizzie?
I don't care
which hero move is mine, MG.
We just got to move.
You go after Lizzie.
I'll get Ethan back
to the school.
When he wakes up,
he's gonna have
a lot of questions.
He deserves to hear
the answer from me.
Let's get it.
CLEO:
Oh, do not go.
If you figured out a way
to kill the Tribrid,
you need to get away from me
and out of Malivore, fast.
How does one escape
the darkness?
Speaking from experience,
there are doors that lead you
back to our world. You just
have to find one.
That is not enough information
for me to go on,
especially alone.
Cleo.
You're a muse.
Stop worrying
about other people.
Inspire yourself for a change.
Good luck to you, Landon Kirby.
Cleo?
It was nice to meet you.
Wish it could have been
under different circumstances.
Then maybe we shall meet again.
[growling]
Given my luck today,
I'm going to assume
you didn't
bring me here to fix
the office photocopier.
[growling]
[growling]
Let me guess.
Witch barbecue?
[growls]
I should warn you.
I'm a worrier, so
I'll probably be really stringy!
[growling]
[grunts]
Nobody's eating nobody.
[growls]
Kaleb, Ethan's hurt.
Yeah, I know, I know.
MG's already
looking out for your boy.
His boy.
Kaleb!
Oh.
[grunting]
[growling]
I'm really sorry
for what I have to do to you.
But I made a promise to
the body that you're in,
and I don't like debt
any more than he does.
[growls]
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
[growling]
Yara lati ina si okunkun.
[growling]
[loud groaning]
[sighs]
Hell of a first date, huh?
Honestly, almost getting
Filet-O-Saltzman'd
by a roid rage monster was a
lot better than how it started.
If we're talking fish metaphors,
you do know
that there are plenty
left in the sea.
But Ethan really
came through in the end.
And I know I should probably be
more progressive
than this and all,
