1x51 - "Open Book"

- Ooh. - Ahem.

So, what did you think of the ending?

Uh... I thought it was on page 917.

- I thought it was a disaster! - Uh...

All the books leading up to this seemed to be taking on and

subverting these witch tropes ... really self-aware about

- being a pastiche, you know? - Um...

But in the end, none of that even mattered.

Lisa and her talking falcon, rebels challenging the stifling

traditions of the magical bureaucracy ... I loved that.

Then her falcon turns into a human and they get married?!

It completely dropped all the anti-authoritarian

stuff and described her wedding cake for 50 pages!

Yeah! That cake was worthy of 20 pages, tops!

- There weren't even strawberries on it! - I bet since the books got so

popular, the publisher put pressure on the author to water

down the end for a larger audience appeal.

Unlike art, the real world can't always win against

the iron chains of authority.

- That's my theory, anyway. - Hmm.

It's just disappointing, considering I invested extra

money in the hardcover copies... with maps.

I wish I could give you a new ending.

The temple door ... it opened for me!

I can make anything I want in there!

I can make us a new ending!

Really? Well, what are we waiting for?!

- Uh... ta-da! - Cool!

This is my mom's room. I can control it, like this.

I want a tiny, floating whale to give me some fin.

Unbelievable! How does it work?

The room can make stuff out of clouds.

- We can make anything. - Anything?

How 'bout the infinity fair from book 4, with merchants

from a million lands selling goods from cultures long gone

- and yet to be? - We should probably

keep it simple. We don't want to overload the room.

How 'bout half the infinity fair? Oh. That's still infinity.

Simple. Okay. Well, what really matters

are the characters. You should be Archimicarus.

Okay. Room, I want to be a falcon!

Oh, yeah.

Got to keep it simple.

Amazing! Okay, my turn.

Room, I want to be Lisa.

Do I need to be more specific?

You were pretty general with the falcon thing.

Oh, sorry. I guess the room only makes

stuff when I want it. Maybe this won't work after all.

Why don't you just have it make a costume shop?

Oh, yeah! Good idea!

I want a costume shop!

Wow! This place has everything ... even her childhood tunic!

Wait. You thought it was red?

Yeah, the color of the setting sun!

The sun sets black over the mines, Steven.

Are you gonna be young Lisa?

Well, if we're really reworking this thing, I'm gonna

make the ultimate Lisa with the best gear from every book.

Like, what if she never lost her iron sword?

- Whoa! - And the cloak and the clasp

- are too signature not to do. - For sure!

And I always liked the dragon whisker boots from

- the volcano stuff in book 3. - Are you almost done?

- Wait a minute! - Come out!

I want to see you!

- Whoa! You look awesome! - Thanks!

Okay. Let's do this.

So, at the end of the series, Lisa and her falcon familiar,

Archimicarus, are at the altar...

with a cleric... about to get married.

But we don't want that ending. So, instead ... hmm.

Uh... I-I don't know. What do you think?

- Hmm. What do you think? - Uh... well...

h-how 'bout a different proposal, Lisa ...

a business proposal? We can start a business together

and sell ... sell... turkey legs to make money to help out

- our fellow rebel comrades! - Yeah, that's great!

I want an umbrella with that, if you would, room.

Turkey legs! Get your rebel turkey legs!

Turkey legs! You think it's okay for me

- to eat this if I'm a falcon? - You are a bird of prey.

So, what should our next move be

- as business partners? - You tell me.

Yeah? Oh. Um...

Let's feed the wind lizard.

Look at this guy!

- He totally looks like a rebel! - Wow! From book 4!

Now, I know he lives in the mountains,

but he's just visiting because he heard about

these turkey legs. Lisa, would you like

- to do the honors? - Okay.
