The future of these students and their magical schooling is at risk.

Fail the Trials and be wiped from the student body.

Complete them all, and you transfigure into a goose.

Really it seems like a lose-lose situation.

So Quentins hopes to find Fillory again are put on hold after Pennys revelation that he traveled there.

But Quentin has an idea that Penny happily agrees to.

They are correct and copy down the right answer, which impresses Eliot.

Yes, Margo roofies Quentin so he can be entered in the next trial.

He wakes up to find himself lost in a forest without the ability to do magic.

All Quentin has is a bow and a single arrow.

Luckily, hes not alone in the forest.

And so now the final test remains.

They must bare themselves physically and emotionally to one another.

And yes, that means the spell requires them to be naked in front of their fellow magicians.

NEXT: The whole truth and nothing but the (naked) truth.

Until they reach the deadline and assume theyll be kicked out, that is.

Alice reveals shes been holding back all this time as a magician.

He always runs away.

And so his ropes fall off, only to be followed by convulsions of pain on Quentins part.

He joins a whole flock of geese, other students who succeeded as they fly away into the night.

Penny and Kady also lose their rope handcuffs but at a much greater price.

Pennys truth is that hes falling in love with her.

Shes been lying to and using Penny this whole time.

Ashamed of herself, Kady flees, leaving Penny to goose out all on his own.

Why did Kadys secrets come to the surface now?

Well, for that, lets turn to the hedgewitchery of the world.

Julia remains desperate for magic.

Exasperated and willing to threaten their safety for what she wants, Julia is eventually given what shes seeking.

But when she arrives to their hideout, she finds eviction notices and not a soul in sight.

Well, except for the woman who followed her all the way from the bar.

All this woman wants, at first, is to do some magic with Julia.

Eventually Hannah comes back to her and pleads to help.

The spell shes doing requires another person, anyway, and Julia might get herself killed otherwise.

But its not Julia whos in trouble when the two finally perform the spell.

Not only that, she unleashes some dark magic that causes Hannah to begin profusely bleeding from her eyes.

The blood flows until she begins shaking, falls to the floor, and slumps over in death.

Julia and Hannah tempted the fates of collaborative magic and it ended in doom for one of them.

And theres no telling how many more may meet a similar fate as the Beast approaches.
