S5 E12 'The Magicians' Review

The gang must rapture all of Fillory and destroy it to make sure they take care of the Dark King, Julia and Penny’s baby is due any minute now, and a familiar evil returns for one final battle! That's right The beast is back from the underground and here to take the lives of everyone per usual. Luckily Zelda helps our heroes escape with the seed and sacrifices herself in doing so. Margo, Alice, Fen, and Josh disappear after igniting the world seed to create a new Fillory and transport its subjects to their new land, while killing anyone that was left behind I.E The Beast and The Dark King, although the Dark King AKA Rupert does, it seem, get to live out his days with Jane Chatwin. So cute! Elliott while feeling utterly more alone that he ever has finds solace in Charlton taking residence in Hyman's body. It's not the Dark King romance we we're all hoping for but at least Elliott gets someone. Penny and Julia welcome their baby only to find that it is killing Julia and so Dean Fog, back from the etheric realm, severs the connection that joins them. Except everyone thinks he's crazy until they transfer his craziness into a cat (hey it wouldn't be The Magicians if there wasn't some weird unexplainable solution). They bring the baby to Penny who is now able to travel while holding her thus somewhat regaining his powers and Julia is safe. By the way did we mention that they named the baby Hope Quentin AKA HQ? Ok we're crying. Alice, Margo, Fen and Josh are all in the new Fillory which has a abundance of food that literally grows on trees, plus bacon fields, and knife trees! They deem the world livable and its time to release the Filorians. The literal mother of earth Fen hands it over to who she dubs High King Margo to do the honors. The entire series ends with Margo saying, "You guys know our lives are about to get even weirder in some insane way that we can’t possibly predict,” and Alice answering, "That's how I know it's our story." The after show was hosted by: Steph Sabraw, Adrian Snow, and Ty Matthews!

The Fillory squad makes a plan to take out the Dark King, but because Margo promised Eliot that he wouldn’t have to be the one to do it, things get complicated. But, in true Magicians form, the complication made for a great solution-Margo and Elliot swap bodies. This leaves Eliot as Margo with Josh and Margo as Eliot with the Dark King. Josh tries to air out the relationship issues between him and Margo but clearly it wasn’t the best timing. On the other end of things, Margo as Eliot sees  a side of the Dark King she wasn’t expecting. You could see the conflict in her, but before she could make her move, Julia sweeps in and kills the Dark King….until the final scene where we see him alive. Julia and Fen are paired up for this episode and it was the perfect duo for the situation. Julia finds out she’s pregnant and confides in Fen. Julia doesn’t know when she will tell Penny, but since Fillory is speeding up the pregnancy, who knows if she’ll even have the opportunity. Back at Brakebills Penny, Hamish and Alice are faced with a spore exposed taxonomist who ends up spreading itself to the students and Penny. During a conversation about grief between Hamish and Alice, they’re able to figure out how to dilute the spore.

In this episode, in the absence of Dean Fogg, Penny is voted acting dean of Brakebills, while Todd continues the quest bestowed upon him by Sir Effingham. Meanwhile, Alice makes a new friend in botanist Hamish Bax, and Eliot and Margo learn more about the Dark King and the fairies! To Margo’s surprise history & time did not play in her favor and throughout the years the fairies were made to believe that she was the reason for their demise. Margo’s attempt at making allies with the fairies is interrupted by a look into what the Dark King has been up to-summoning the Takers so he can get the acclaim for vanquishing them.
