Legacies

Speaking German...

Put the heaters away, boys.

This guy's a scientist, not a soldier.

Now, toss the place and find it.

Before der Fuhrer beats us to it.

*LEGACIES* Season 03 Episode 09

I guess the saying is true.

Those who don't learn from history

are doomed to repeat it.

Actually, the original quote is from George Santayana,

who said, "Those who do not remember the past

are condemned to repeat it."

Not that it really matters.

It's good to have you back, Landon.

But the monsters are back, too.

Yeah, I always miss the good ones.

Like, first there was the mummy, and then, and then a minotaur,

and now a leprechaun?

What did it want? We believe Malivore sent it

to retrieve the Ascendant. Makes sense.

Malivore can't meatsuit me if he's stuck in a prison world,

so of course he wants a way out.

That's not happening on my watch.

Our watch.

Landon's safe.

But the rest of us... not so much.

It's like you said, history repeating itself,

doom... whatever.

With the Ascendant destroyed,

the monsters may be after Landon now.

So let's focus.

After the leprechaun came the Ferryman,

which Cleo summoned to bring you back home.

Which is why I nominate Cleo for the Super Squad.

More like nominate yourself into her pants.

All in favor?

We're not exactly on great terms,

but she brought Landon back to me,

so she has my vote.

Well, that's a majority. Motion passes.

Is it? Where is everyone?

Like, Josie and MG and, and...

the rest of the students?

Well, we've been having some enrollment issues.

Yet another reason to get this monster problem all sorted out.

Well, if history has taught us anything,

it's that we need to find whatever portal they're coming

out of and seal it up. - How?

By stepping in every puddle in town and seeing

if we wind up in an alternate hell dimension?

Well, I'm glad you asked, Elizabeth, because that's

your assignment today.

If Cleo can summon a monster,

it stands to reason she can summon another.

Perhaps a harmless one who will talk

and give us answers once we capture it.

Now, I expect you all to work together while I'm gone,

harmoniously.

Wait, where you going that's more important than this?

I'm going to see a supernatural scholar about another lead.

We will summon this monster when I get back.

Now, remember: Harmoniously.

I can't even look at you right now.

I mean, what kind of mystery meat is that?

I'm gonna be honest. I'm not sure.

But whatever it takes to fit in

on my first day. Good luck.

Mystic Falls is clique-ier than The Salvatore School,

which has actual factions.

Over there is where the jocks sit

with the mean girl cheerleaders.

Well, she doesn't look so mean to me.

Tori Thompson? Please.

The LARPers and comic book geeks sit over there.

It's probably more your speed.

Well, maybe at our last school, but here,

we can be as cool as we want to be.

How cool is that, exactly?

I see myself trying out for the football team...

...because Tori Thompson is totally into me.

Yeah, she just told her friend.

Knock it off. No vamp powers.

Relax, they don't even know.

Yeah, and we need to keep it that way

or my dad is going to yank us out of this school

so fast our heads are gonna spin.

Okay, he's probably lurking in the parking lot right now.

You're being paranoid.

Please, just try being human with me.

Okay, fine. No powers.

But if this place is so important to you,

why are we sitting here alone?

Mind if I join you guys?

Looks like there's plenty of room.

That'd be cool, right? Yeah, sure.

I'm MG.

I remember, from that flag football game.

You transferred here, too? Yeah.

And, um, speaking of football, I was thinking of trying out.

You got any pointers?

Uh, study hard instead. I just got cut.

I thought you were on my team.

And I am, because your dad said that we all need to

work together on this one.

Well, he's not here,

and I am not working with Hope Mikaelson.

Lizzie, the last time we went against Doc's plans,

a leprechaun nearly killed him with a necktie.

Maybe ponder that for a sec.

This is my pondering face, okay?

And that plan was still way better than the one

that Hope came up with, which could have sent Josie

to the dark side.

And at least I'm doing something

instead of moping around because MG left.

Okay, I can tell that you're in a bad mood,

so I'm gonna refrain from pointing out

your involvement in that, too.

Besides, MG's probably

just out somewhere taking a walk or something

to blow some steam off.

MG enrolled at Mystic Falls this morning.

He'll be staying with Josie in town.

Josie is his only friend there. He'll be back in no time. Okay?

I hope so.

Because, as your new bestie,

you mooning over his comic books

is a little creepy.

Yeah, this is research.

Oh, yes.

The adventures of trench coat guy and Tinker Bell.

First off, that's John Constantine,

and you damn well know it.

Second, that is a pixie.

A kinder, gentler version of a genie...

As if genies even exist.

...that trades wishes for favors.

So all we gotta do is a solid for one of 'em,

wish for them to close the portal as payback.

Our Malivore problem is done and dusted. Boom.

Oh, damn.

That's that little ponder face you were talking about.

What are you thinking?

It's classified.

I thought we were supposed

to be working with Lizzie and Kaleb.

What is that?

The note Lizzie left on the door to her room.

Hey, are you okay?

I mean, I've been picking up on some weird tension.

Never better.

I've got you back.

That's all that matters anyway.

I'm not sure Lizzie feels the same.

Yeah. I may have tried to guilt Josie

into taking her magic back

to open a door to save you,

but it didn't even happen, so I don't know why

Lizzie's so bent out of shape.

Well, how would you have felt if it had been me in danger

instead of Josie? Oh, I'm sorry.

Whose side are you on?

Yours. Always.

I'm just saying

the reason you two are mad at each other is because

you're more alike than you think.

Take that back immediately.

You're both smart, powerful witches

who'd do just about anything for who or what you love.

I really hope you're wrong, because if you're right,

I think I know what Lizzie's about to do next.

I was unaware you jogged, Lizzie.

I'm, uh, more of a night runner.

It's normally so dark, in fact, that you can't even see me.

Well, I always sprint the last mile.

No pressure to keep up. Wait!

And leave your mentor in the dust?

I'm here to officially welcome you...

Sculptress of Statuary, Slayer of Small Ones...

As a member-elect of the Super Squad.

Thank you... I think.

What is expected of me?

Merely one super-heroic event,

as approved by your Super Squad mentor.

Meaning you. Yes.

So lucky, right?

And I've already thought of just the thing.

And I bet I know what that is.

You were gonna summon a monster behind my back?

Please. Like you weren't planning on

doing the same thing.

And knowing you, you would have released

a Kraken with a Muppet allergy

that would have wiped out the rest of us.

Okay, unlike you,

I actually listened to your father,

so I was thinking cute, talking, harmless.

Well, why don't you share with the rest of the class?

Why don't we summon a cherub?

They're basically flying babies.
