(00:02):
Welcome to town, Avra. I'mhere to bother, here for the greater
good of cryptid Kai. I guessyou didn't tell them everything. Then it's
not a bad idea. Okay.I think we're gonna need a change of
plans. Season five, Episode eight, now or never coming. Oh hi,
(00:48):
Kendy, Hello Sybil. How areyou today? I'm good? How
are you fine? Thank you forasking? Are you still able to work
on shadery search today like we discussed? Yeah, come on in, thank
you. I see you've already gottenstarted. Oh yeah, just started looking
(01:11):
through some of the books a littlebit. Did you find anything of note?
Not really, I was a littledistracted. Not a problem. Let's
get to work then right away.Was there something else you wanted to do?
No? Nothing at all. Areyou feeling okay? I'm completely fine?
(01:37):
God damn it. Do you havetape? Oh yeah, Auver's probably
got some in the junk drawer.Here it is. Thanks before I give
this to you, can we talkplease about you know, what about or
(02:00):
confessions of love? So common foryou that the other night doesn't really stand
out in your mind right that?I was hoping to just skip that topic
for now, since there's so manymore pressing matters, So you were just
intending to never bring it up again. You might be leaving in a week
if we don't find a way totake down the High Council exactly. I
(02:23):
figured it wouldn't be something that wouldneed discussion until after that was solidified.
So you were just going to kissme and leave forever without saying a thing
if we didn't figure this out,Well, you kissed me. She remembers
that I thought it would be better, easier, easier to forget. I
exist to make moving on simpler.That's not what I meant. Is this
(02:46):
about my power? What you're afraidthat now that you know I've had feelings
for you this whole time? Yoursare just reflections of mine. Right,
Well, if that's really what youthink, then just take back what you
said. I don't want to takeit back. I Oh, hi,
hey guys, uh hey, hello, what's up? Just needed to grab
(03:10):
some stuff off them? Maybe weshould ask your sister for help, help
with what It's fine, they're busy, right, Yeah, Okay, we're
going to go test some stuff outwith the Shroud. We have some theories.
Knowing magic would probably be a bighelp. Yeah, Kenny and I
(03:30):
can come along, should we?Just you? Francy's coming too, and
there isn't enough space in the car. Sorry, that's fine. Sybil should
go with you. I'll work onsome more research at home. Wait,
but good luck, Roger, gladyou could make it. Come on in.
(03:57):
Thank you, bite. I gotheld up with things at work,
No worries. Everyone else just arrived. Hey Roger, Hi, Hey,
mister Torres. Hey, Yes,the gang's all here. So have you
folks started discussing things yet? Notyet. Lizzie's being very cryptic on why
(04:20):
we're here. Wow, notes she. Evennancy Drew can figure it out like
you have. Maybe we start explaining, Lizzie. Actually, it might be
good for you to start, Ben, considering the circumstances. Well. Last
night, while Roxy, Lizzie andI were hanging out, Lizzie had a
surprise vision. Oh dear, arethey getting more frequent again? No,
(04:44):
that's the first one I've had sinceI started my treatment. And this wasn't
one of those throwaway prophecies that youwere having when it was really bad.
I wrote it down actually because itseemed like it was going to be important.
At what seems the darkest night magicbreaks and ignites the light with two
halves joined and power great. Thewall shall fall and alter fate. Whoa
(05:12):
yeah, and there were flames andLizzie's voice did this crazy thing? Well,
that stuff is pretty normal. It'sgotta be about the shroud coming down,
right? What else could it meanby the wall shall fall and alter
fate? So you're saying we stillhave a chance. I think we might.
The High Council said they can't takeit on the shroud though, it's
(05:33):
not gonna happen. What's a buzzkill, Mari. I'm not being a buzzkill.
I'm being realistic. Why keep trying, We're only gonna fail again,
just like every single other time we'vetried to do something good. Do you
really believe that? Yeah, Okay, we've had a rough year. That's
fair, but it's also not true. We've had our fair share of losses,
(05:57):
but we've also had some really greatsuccesses, like what like saving Bluff.
You helped out with that, findingthose old newsletters and Avre's office archives.
We made a deal with NeSSI andprotected the town, and we encouraged
Bluff to be a bit more progressiveand start opening themselves. Up to humans,
which they will now be shipped awayfrom forever. Yeah, they will.
(06:21):
And maybe we can't connect with humansright now, or maybe we never
will again. But we were ableto protect them against Legia when she was
trying to hunt them down. Notto mention save our friends from being her
next meal. I wasn't involved inthat, but you all were involved in
(06:42):
saving Avre just a month ago.Yeah, and we had to save her
because I reached out to human Dayand got us in trouble in the first
place. Not to mention that contactingCelo was my idea and led to the
possession that got the High Council involved. Honestly, I probably had something to
do with the exposure of Comerlock atthis rate. That might be a bit
of a reach, is it becauseI'm basically the reason that everything else is
(07:05):
falling apart? Maybe it's me thiswhole time, and the Prophecy and all
is just being blamed for my curse. I don't even know why I'm here
right now. You guys should stayaway from me. Jules, Wait,
come on, we don't want youto leave. Why are you still being
so nice to me? Because Icare about you? We all care about
(07:25):
you, Juliet. But I've beentrying so hard to push you guys away
so I wouldn't keep messing things up. But you're making it so hard because
we need you. Don't go puttingthe weight of the world on the girls
shoulders. We don't need you tobe a superhero, Juliet, and I
know you're not the villain. Thenwhy does it feel like bad things are
(07:46):
following me? Sometimes it seems thatway, but those are the times where
you have to try your damness tohold on to the good things you have,
things like your positivity, your determinationto make the world better, your
friends from I want to push peopleaway when I needed them. Don't just
makes everything hurt so much more.I'm sorry, Mari. I'm sorry too.
(08:11):
I could tell you are going throughsomething and I just got mad at
you. It's all my fault.No, I shouldn't have taken everything out
on you. You're one of mybest friends and I never ever want to
fight again me neither. I justlove it. Friends are able to reconcile.
(08:31):
Roger, you will, Softy.I'm sorry about the whole lie I
made up about who you have acrush on. I know none of that's
true because you told me who youreally do have a crush on, and
it's for sure not right. Yeah, I forgive you. I'm sorry to
(08:54):
you too, Ben. I wasreally mean about everything and you're good.
It's a rough time, lots ofemotions. Yeah. Well, now that
we've gotten to witness this lovely reunion, should we start scheming because I may
have an idea. Okay, youweren't kidding. You broke through the apparently
(09:20):
unbreakable shroud and got severely burned inthe process, but you know this is
insane and no one else can doit, no one who's tried. I
gave it a try and so didRoxy, and both of us just got
a little burn No gap though,wild. Okay, So why exactly am
(09:41):
I here again to test the theory? Clearly, this gap is an actual
gap in the shroud. We've beenable to throw rocks and sticks through and
they end up on the other side, as they should, So we wanted
to see if that extended to thememory erasing magic too. Does that seem
like it makes sense as far asmagic goes? Oh, you're asking me,
(10:03):
Well, yeah, if the shrouditself holds the spell that messes with
memories, it would make sense thatit would get disrupted. Not sure how
much though, considering how large thething is. So, how do you
guys want me to test this exactly? Stick my arm through the gap and
see if I still know your names? Seems simple enough to me. I
(10:24):
thought you said this was a bigfavor of Oh that isn't the whole experiment.
That bracelet that's from Caleb, right? Yeah, Oh, I see
see what Only if you're comfortable withit, we want you to call Caleb
(10:45):
what Roger told me that during thefirst few days of the shroud being up,
his ex wife called him and wasn'table to remember anything about him,
despite his attempts to explain to her. That means that even significant others on
the other side shouldn't remember anything.And you're the only one of our group
who's in that situation unfortunately. Whydon't you make Roger do it? Or
you your parents are on the otherside, Why can't you just do it?
(11:09):
Offer tends to be the exception toa lot of rules already, and
we don't want to spread this secrettoo wide. It's not a far leap
from telling one person that Offer brokethe barrier to either the High Council or
a really desperate citizen finding out,and both of those are just not likely
to end well. Is that whyyou You really think this is gonna make
him remember me, this little gapin the magic. Maybe it could be
(11:33):
really subtle, which is why weneed people who are really close to do
it. Fine, I'll call him, be careful that edges can burn.
Here goes hello? Hi? Uh? Is this Caleb? It is?
(12:00):
Do I know you? You do, but you might not remember me very
well. My name's Francie. Idon't know someone named Francie. Well,
that's my nickname. You might rememberme by Francisco. Francisco leads. Sorry,
doesn't ring a bell? Maybe youhave a wrong number. No,
(12:22):
no, I definitely meant to callyou. It's not working. Keep talking
to him. Ask him about Water'sEdge? Is there someone else there?
Don't worry about it. That's justmy friend's shop. What's your name again?
I'm Shia Shia right and my otherfriends? Is he forgetting us?
(12:46):
Maybe? Should we pull him back? Not yet? Explain how you know
him? Something he would remember right? Right, Caleb, you might remember
me from high school. We wentto Shannie High together. We were in
the same math class in freshman year. We were Yeah, yeah, you
(13:09):
had miss Sanchez right for geometry Alevel third period. I did, so
did I. We sat next toeach other towards the back of class.
We didn't really talk until a fewmonths into the school year. I was
super late to class one day andhad forgotten all my stuff at home,
and you lent me a pencil andsome paper. Oh okay, And then
(13:33):
at the end of class, whenI gave back the pencil, you offered
to review what I had missed duringlunch. Really yes, We found a
quiet hallway and spend fifteen minutes goingover triangle proofs. And then you realized
I had forgotten my lunch at home. Two so you bought me a slice
of pizza or something, a grilledcheese, what I think. I bought
(13:58):
you a grilled cheese and a coffee, but it wasn't a regular coffee.
You filled the cup up halfway withcoffee and then the other half was hot
chocolate. I used to do thatall the time. You hated coffee,
but you were also always tired.Do you remember me, Caleb? I'm
(14:18):
not sure I remember that, butI don't know who you are. Or
what you look like, or anythingelse about you. I'm really really sorry.
I feel like I'm missing something.It's okay, it's not your fault.
I'm glad you were able to remembera little bit of me. Yeah,
(14:41):
I'm sorry. I have to go. My next class is starting soon.
Can I call you back? Idon't think you're gonna remember too.
You're probably right. Well, thankyou for calling. Francisca. Yeah,
bye, I whoa here you guys? Are you are right? Yeah?
(15:09):
Yeah? My head just hurts.I felt like I was looking at you
through a bunch of fog or something. But I can see you fine.
Now, Well that seemed like asuccess. He remembered, not much,
but something about me is still inthe back of his mind. We have
to get rid of this stupid thing. To use whatever this is that you
(15:31):
can do Ava to take this thingdown. It's not so fast. All
we know about what AV can dois that it takes a lot of pain
for her to take away a smallportion of the shroud. Well, I'm
not suggesting throwing her into the damnthing. There is something there, though,
something I can do that doesn't makesense. Sybil. Any ideas on
the magic theory behind all this,not particularly, but Kenny's got more of
(15:54):
an understanding of the theory behind thesethings if I ask her, I'm not
telling Kenny why not? We needto be careful about who we're sharing information
with. Oh, you've got tobe kidding me. You still don't trust
Kenny after everything she's done for us, Everything she's done she's done for you,
(16:14):
Sybil, teaching you magic, sparingOvra, that was all for you.
What makes you think that, giventhe opportunity, she won't do anything
she can to get rid of theshroud. She would never hurt Avra to
save herself. She's changed, wouldyou what you're saying? Kenny's changed?
But you've changed too. I didn'twant to bring you out here because I'm
not sure what you're gonna do withthis, knowing that I can take enough
(16:37):
of the shroud down for people toescape if I kill myself for it,
avraa chill. Sybil would never dothat, of course I wouldn't. Oh
God, it's so fucking funny,isn't it that the one who thinks everything
is about her is the only onewho can save us all by ending herself.
Fucking rich? Where are you going? Well? I'm not driving home
(17:00):
with you all, that's for sure. Don't want me throwing off out the
window at the shroud, right,What if she tells Kenny she won't Maybe
she should. We need a wayto take down the shroud, but the
High Council claims that it shouldn't bepossible, right, but it clearly has
(17:23):
to be if Lizzie's prophecy thing iscorrect, which I'm assuming it is.
They've always been correct before. Great, So that leaves us with two possibilities.
Either the High Council does know howto take it down and they're just
lying, or they really don't.But there is a way. They aren't
gonna tell a shit either way,so we have to go back to the
source. The High Council is thesource, though not exactly. They may
(17:48):
have put up the shroud, butthey used Hanna's magic to do it,
but she's been dead for ages.Well, oh, I see where this
is going. So you really cantalk to the den? Sure can?
Perfect, then we can. Justbecause she can doesn't mean she wants to.
Yeah, if Mari's not comfortable doinga seance, we're not gonna make
(18:11):
them. Oh, I didn't realizeIt's all right, guys. They're just
worried because the last time I usedmy powers I kind of summoned a demon
by accident, but that was awhile ago. If talking to Hanna's spirit
is something that could help the town, I'm willing to do it. Are
you sure positive? Okay, We'llbe right there with you. Actually,
(18:37):
as much as I don't want tobreak up the three Musketeers, I think
Roxy and I should be the onesto do the seance with you, Mari.
As a human, Roxy might beable to provide a grounding presence.
And I know my powers aren't thatmuch like yours, but I could probably
step in if something were to gowrong. That's not a bad idea.
Are we sure that Hannah is bulthough it sounded like the High Council did
(19:03):
a number on whatever was left ofher to make the shrouds? That's a
good point. Is there a certainamount of soul energy that you need to
be able to talk to someone?I don't know. This is kind of
a unique situation, fair enough,do you think it'd help if you had
some sort of anchor or something toconnect you to Hannah? That always helps
(19:26):
my visions. It definitely wouldn't hurtwe could try to get the conduit.
That is way too risky. Itwould give us a hell of an upper
hand though, whether we're able totalk to Hannah or not. We could
have the thing that the High Councilneeds to put these shrouds up. They'd
have to listen to us, andthey'd have to tell us the truth if
(19:47):
they wanted it back. It's notlike they can make another That's not a
bad idea, don't encourage them.Think about it, Liz. I could
use my powers to disguise myself asone of the High Council members and SNEA
into their office. And then whathappens when someone tries to talk to you?
And here's what is definitely not theHigh Council member's voice. Wait,
(20:08):
I think there might be an oldmagic spell for that. Hold on here
it is. Yeah, with thisone, you can change elements of your
outward appearance to mimic someone else's.Depending on how powerful the spell is,
you can go from changing your entireappearance or just your voice. O lead
(20:29):
me is a voice puss. Andif I did it on myself, it
wouldn't take that much power. Andthen Ben could just disguise me. Wait
you've been trying out old magic,just some of the smaller spells. No
way, you don't tell us weweren't talking to each other. I've had
a lot of free time these pastfew days. So do you think you
(20:51):
could change your voice and go undercover? I think so, as long as
the conversation isn't too long. I'vegotten the spell to work for a couple
of minutes at a time, butif I practice some more, I can
probably hold it for longer. It'svery impressive that you can do old magic,
Juliette and I appreciate the plan,but I don't want to put you
kids in danger. Mari's helping youthough. Mari's doing something she's done many
(21:15):
many times in a safe environment withpeople she trusts. It is a good
backup plan at least, Liz.Okay, Look, if we aren't able
to contact Hannah and stealing the conduitis the only option, then we do
that, but not until it's thelast option. Okay, Okay, great,
(21:41):
So then we have nothing to connectthis to Hannah. I mean,
doesn't have to be a thing,could be a person. Kendy, do
you think she'd do it? Ithink I could convince her so when should
we try this silence? How's tomorrownight? That's kind of same. The
longer we wait, the less chanceswe have. It's now or never.
(22:04):
Roxy's right, The High Council isscheduled to leave in just five days.
If they stink to the plan,we need to act fast. Okay,

so I wouldn't keep messing things up. But you're making it so hard because
we need you. Don't go puttingthe weight of the world on the girls
shoulders. We don't need you tobe a superhero, Juliet, and I
know you're not the villain. Thenwhy does it feel like bad things are
(07:46):
following me? Sometimes it seems thatway, but those are the times where
you have to try your damness tohold on to the good things you have,
things like your positivity, your determinationto make the world better, your
friends from I want to push peopleaway when I needed them. Don't just
makes everything hurt so much more.I'm sorry, Mari. I'm sorry too.
(08:11):
I could tell you are going throughsomething and I just got mad at
you. It's all my fault.No, I shouldn't have taken everything out
on you. You're one of mybest friends and I never ever want to
fight again me neither. I justlove it. Friends are able to reconcile.
(08:31):
Roger, you will, Softy.I'm sorry about the whole lie I
made up about who you have acrush on. I know none of that's
true because you told me who youreally do have a crush on, and
it's for sure not right. Yeah, I forgive you. I'm sorry to
(08:54):
you too, Ben. I wasreally mean about everything and you're good.
It's a rough time, lots ofemotions. Yeah. Well, now that
we've gotten to witness this lovely reunion, should we start scheming because I may
have an idea. Okay, youweren't kidding. You broke through the apparently
(09:20):
unbreakable shroud and got severely burned inthe process, but you know this is
insane and no one else can doit, no one who's tried. I
gave it a try and so didRoxy, and both of us just got
a little burn No gap though,wild. Okay, So why exactly am
(09:41):
I here again to test the theory? Clearly, this gap is an actual
gap in the shroud. We've beenable to throw rocks and sticks through and
they end up on the other side, as they should, So we wanted
to see if that extended to thememory erasing magic too. Does that seem
like it makes sense as far asmagic goes? Oh, you're asking me,
(10:03):
Well, yeah, if the shrouditself holds the spell that messes with
memories, it would make sense thatit would get disrupted. Not sure how
much though, considering how large thething is. So, how do you
guys want me to test this exactly? Stick my arm through the gap and
see if I still know your names? Seems simple enough to me. I
(10:24):
thought you said this was a bigfavor of Oh that isn't the whole experiment.
That bracelet that's from Caleb, right? Yeah, Oh, I see
see what Only if you're comfortable withit, we want you to call Caleb
(10:45):
what Roger told me that during thefirst few days of the shroud being up,
his ex wife called him and wasn'table to remember anything about him,
despite his attempts to explain to her. That means that even significant others on
the other side shouldn't remember anything.And you're the only one of our group
who's in that situation unfortunately. Whydon't you make Roger do it? Or
you your parents are on the otherside, Why can't you just do it?
(11:09):
Offer tends to be the exception toa lot of rules already, and
we don't want to spread this secrettoo wide. It's not a far leap
from telling one person that Offer brokethe barrier to either the High Council or
a really desperate citizen finding out,and both of those are just not likely
to end well. Is that whyyou You really think this is gonna make
him remember me, this little gapin the magic. Maybe it could be
(11:33):
really subtle, which is why weneed people who are really close to do
it. Fine, I'll call him, be careful that edges can burn.
Here goes hello? Hi? Uh? Is this Caleb? It is?
(12:00):
Do I know you? You do, but you might not remember me very
well. My name's Francie. Idon't know someone named Francie. Well,
that's my nickname. You might rememberme by Francisco. Francisco leads. Sorry,
doesn't ring a bell? Maybe youhave a wrong number. No,
(12:22):
no, I definitely meant to callyou. It's not working. Keep talking
to him. Ask him about Water'sEdge? Is there someone else there?
Don't worry about it. That's justmy friend's shop. What's your name again?
I'm Shia Shia right and my otherfriends? Is he forgetting us?
(12:46):
Maybe? Should we pull him back? Not yet? Explain how you know
him? Something he would remember right? Right, Caleb, you might remember
me from high school. We wentto Shannie High together. We were in
the same math class in freshman year. We were Yeah, yeah, you
(13:09):
had miss Sanchez right for geometry Alevel third period. I did, so
did I. We sat next toeach other towards the back of class.
We didn't really talk until a fewmonths into the school year. I was
super late to class one day andhad forgotten all my stuff at home,
and you lent me a pencil andsome paper. Oh okay, And then
(13:33):
at the end of class, whenI gave back the pencil, you offered
to review what I had missed duringlunch. Really yes, We found a
quiet hallway and spend fifteen minutes goingover triangle proofs. And then you realized
I had forgotten my lunch at home. Two so you bought me a slice
of pizza or something, a grilledcheese, what I think. I bought
(13:58):
you a grilled cheese and a coffee, but it wasn't a regular coffee.
You filled the cup up halfway withcoffee and then the other half was hot
chocolate. I used to do thatall the time. You hated coffee,
but you were also always tired.Do you remember me, Caleb? I'm
(14:18):
not sure I remember that, butI don't know who you are. Or
what you look like, or anythingelse about you. I'm really really sorry.
I feel like I'm missing something.It's okay, it's not your fault.
I'm glad you were able to remembera little bit of me. Yeah,
(14:41):
I'm sorry. I have to go. My next class is starting soon.
Can I call you back? Idon't think you're gonna remember too.
You're probably right. Well, thankyou for calling. Francisca. Yeah,
bye, I whoa here you guys? Are you are right? Yeah?
(15:09):
Yeah? My head just hurts.I felt like I was looking at you
through a bunch of fog or something. But I can see you fine.
Now, Well that seemed like asuccess. He remembered, not much,
but something about me is still inthe back of his mind. We have
to get rid of this stupid thing. To use whatever this is that you
(15:31):
can do Ava to take this thingdown. It's not so fast. All
we know about what AV can dois that it takes a lot of pain
for her to take away a smallportion of the shroud. Well, I'm
not suggesting throwing her into the damnthing. There is something there, though,
something I can do that doesn't makesense. Sybil. Any ideas on
the magic theory behind all this,not particularly, but Kenny's got more of
(15:54):
an understanding of the theory behind thesethings if I ask her, I'm not
telling Kenny why not? We needto be careful about who we're sharing information
with. Oh, you've got tobe kidding me. You still don't trust
Kenny after everything she's done for us, Everything she's done she's done for you,
(16:14):
Sybil, teaching you magic, sparingOvra, that was all for you.
What makes you think that, giventhe opportunity, she won't do anything
she can to get rid of theshroud. She would never hurt Avra to
save herself. She's changed, wouldyou what you're saying? Kenny's changed?
But you've changed too. I didn'twant to bring you out here because I'm
not sure what you're gonna do withthis, knowing that I can take enough
(16:37):
of the shroud down for people toescape if I kill myself for it,
avraa chill. Sybil would never dothat, of course I wouldn't. Oh
God, it's so fucking funny,isn't it that the one who thinks everything
is about her is the only onewho can save us all by ending herself.
Fucking rich? Where are you going? Well? I'm not driving home
(17:00):
with you all, that's for sure. Don't want me throwing off out the
window at the shroud, right,What if she tells Kenny she won't Maybe
she should. We need a wayto take down the shroud, but the
High Council claims that it shouldn't bepossible, right, but it clearly has
(17:23):
to be if Lizzie's prophecy thing iscorrect, which I'm assuming it is.
They've always been correct before. Great, So that leaves us with two possibilities.
Either the High Council does know howto take it down and they're just
lying, or they really don't.But there is a way. They aren't
gonna tell a shit either way,so we have to go back to the
source. The High Council is thesource, though not exactly. They may
(17:48):
have put up the shroud, butthey used Hanna's magic to do it,
but she's been dead for ages.Well, oh, I see where this
is going. So you really cantalk to the den? Sure can?
Perfect, then we can. Justbecause she can doesn't mean she wants to.
Yeah, if Mari's not comfortable doinga seance, we're not gonna make
(18:11):
them. Oh, I didn't realizeIt's all right, guys. They're just
worried because the last time I usedmy powers I kind of summoned a demon
by accident, but that was awhile ago. If talking to Hanna's spirit
is something that could help the town, I'm willing to do it. Are
you sure positive? Okay, We'llbe right there with you. Actually,
(18:37):
as much as I don't want tobreak up the three Musketeers, I think
Roxy and I should be the onesto do the seance with you, Mari.
As a human, Roxy might beable to provide a grounding presence.
And I know my powers aren't thatmuch like yours, but I could probably
step in if something were to gowrong. That's not a bad idea.
Are we sure that Hannah is bulthough it sounded like the High Council did
(19:03):
a number on whatever was left ofher to make the shrouds? That's a
good point. Is there a certainamount of soul energy that you need to
be able to talk to someone?I don't know. This is kind of
a unique situation, fair enough,do you think it'd help if you had
some sort of anchor or something toconnect you to Hannah? That always helps
(19:26):
my visions. It definitely wouldn't hurtwe could try to get the conduit.
That is way too risky. Itwould give us a hell of an upper
hand though, whether we're able totalk to Hannah or not. We could
have the thing that the High Councilneeds to put these shrouds up. They'd
have to listen to us, andthey'd have to tell us the truth if
(19:47):
they wanted it back. It's notlike they can make another That's not a
bad idea, don't encourage them.Think about it, Liz. I could
use my powers to disguise myself asone of the High Council members and SNEA
into their office. And then whathappens when someone tries to talk to you?
And here's what is definitely not theHigh Council member's voice. Wait,
(20:08):
I think there might be an oldmagic spell for that. Hold on here
it is. Yeah, with thisone, you can change elements of your
outward appearance to mimic someone else's.Depending on how powerful the spell is,
you can go from changing your entireappearance or just your voice. O lead
(20:29):
me is a voice puss. Andif I did it on myself, it
wouldn't take that much power. Andthen Ben could just disguise me. Wait
you've been trying out old magic,just some of the smaller spells. No
way, you don't tell us weweren't talking to each other. I've had
a lot of free time these pastfew days. So do you think you
(20:51):
could change your voice and go undercover? I think so, as long as
the conversation isn't too long. I'vegotten the spell to work for a couple
of minutes at a time, butif I practice some more, I can
probably hold it for longer. It'svery impressive that you can do old magic,
Juliette and I appreciate the plan,but I don't want to put you
kids in danger. Mari's helping youthough. Mari's doing something she's done many
(21:15):
many times in a safe environment withpeople she trusts. It is a good
backup plan at least, Liz.Okay, Look, if we aren't able
to contact Hannah and stealing the conduitis the only option, then we do
that, but not until it's thelast option. Okay, Okay, great,
(21:41):
So then we have nothing to connectthis to Hannah. I mean,
doesn't have to be a thing,could be a person. Kendy, do
you think she'd do it? Ithink I could convince her so when should
we try this silence? How's tomorrownight? That's kind of same. The
longer we wait, the less chanceswe have. It's now or never.
(22:04):
Roxy's right, The High Council isscheduled to leave in just five days.
If they stink to the plan,we need to act fast. Okay,
let's take this thing down. Thanksfor listening to Season five of Cryptid Cake
