The Librarians: The Next Chapter

Shh. No. I already bought you a toy.

Shh. I don't have any more money today.

Shh.

Now, now.

It can't be that bad.

Not when you can buy an ice cream,

but with what money?

Why.

Say thank you to the nice man.

Thank you.

I know the kiss of that steel.

Good morning to you,

Elaine of Astolat.

Door. Get to the door.

Aah. Come on, come on, come on.

Almost there.

Whoa.

Nice throw. You've been practicing.

I can tell.

I think I'm getting the hang of it,

switching to aikido whilst...

Whilst--

uh, Vikram.

I'm Charlie.

I'm Vikram.

I'm Connor but you look like Connor.

I'm Lysa?

- Uh... - Uh...

I don't want this.

I don't wanna be in this body.

Why not? It's a very nice body.

Uh, Vik, I think that's inappropriate

to say that Vik--

this is crazy.

Okay. No. Hands, Connor, out.

Out, out, out here until we figure this out.

Ow. I bit my tongue

because it feels weird in my mouth

because it's not my tongue.

Oh, God, this is not my tongue.

Ah.

Right. Stop.

Let's all take a deep breath and compose ourselves.

Wow, sir, this vest is super tight.

Uh-uh. Waistcoat. Not vest. There's a difference.

Are you using it to hide your tummy?

No, certainly not.

I have thought that.

- We all have. - Well,

wonder no more.

Whoa!

These boots, very tricky.

Please, sir, don't injure my body.

And use the hair tie to tie your hair.

Achoo. Achoo. Achoo.

Yeah, the, uh, ancient magical library

has like a million allergens.

Enjoy that.

There's an antihistamine in my--your pocket.

Huh.

There's some sort of residual energy signature

that's not usual.

- Mint? - Mint?

- Mint? - Oh, yeah.

I chew it when I go through the door.

Teleport makes me queasy.

Huh. Delightful.

But how did this happen?

The Magic Door?

I've never heard

of the Magic Door doing this.

- I'm open to all suggestions. - I say

we go through the door and hope that it switches us back.

Right. You three, Door, now.

Oh.

And we're still not in our original bodies.

I'm Lysa.

Oh. I'm Connor.

Vikram Chamberlain.

Charlie.

We switched again?

Ah.

Hello.

No, no, no, no.

Hmm, still Vikram Chamberlain.

I'm Connor and this coat is musty.

You don't need to say your full name, sir.

Wait, I'm in the same body and you are,

but why not them?

Well, I'm obviously Lysa.

Come on.

So cool!

Okay. So if it's a random switch

every time we go through the door--

Wow.

What conditioner do you use?

- Oh, actually-- - Ladies.

- Focus. - Okay.

So there are 24 possible combinations

of our four minds and four bodies.

Or four of factorial,

four times three times two times one. Basic math.

So 24 combinations according to Lysa's maths.

Not my math. Just math.

Assuming that none of the four combinations

repeat themselves,

then that is 21 more trips through the Door?

Yeah, with evil cultists

on the other side.

Who know we're coming.

Hmm. Let's begin.

Elaine, I swear I'm clean.

I don't use magic.

I have no agenda.

You don't need to do this.

Oh, like hell I don't.

Do you not remember what happened

the last time we met?

Well, let me refresh your memory then.

You locked me up in a tower.

That was centuries ago.

You surely can't still be angry.

You imprisoned me

so that I wouldn't tell Camelot about you.

I won't make the same mistake again.

Ugh, my dear Elaine.

You got it all wrong.

I knew Camelot was going to fall,

that the knights would kill each other.

I didn't put you there to stop you,

I was protecting you.

Well, let's just say I'm returning the favor now.

I'm protecting you from yourself.

That's very kind, but completely unnecessary.

As I said, I'm magic-free.

Haven't touched a drop since I woke up

and I don't intend to.

Magic isn't what made you dangerous.

It was how you manipulated everyone around you.

That's why I've been watching you,

waiting to bring you in.

I needed the team to be out on a mission.

I won't have you whispering sweet lies

into their ears like you did at Camelot.

You do realize that coin trick

was just sleight of hand, don't you?

See? I've sworn off magic.

I've learned my lesson.

As I said to your friends, this is my second chance.

You are up to something

and I won't let you get away with it this time.

So what, you are to keep me tied up in here forever?

No. I'm going to let the Library's Council

decide what to do with you.

Meanwhile, you're going to take a nap

courtesy of the sand of The Sandman.

No. Elaine...

Farewell.

We'll be in touch.

They turned out to be very friendly cultists indeed,

once we had a chat with them.

Uh, that's not good.

Roll call, please.

I'm, of course, Vikram Chamberlain.

Charlie.

Sir, this--how do you move in this jacket?

It's so hot and heavy.

No wonder you always tie your hair up in a fight.

Oh, um, Connor.

The three of us swapped,

then Lysa got her body back.

It appears I'm me again.

No, no, five trips ago,

we've already done this combo. We're repeating.

That means it's not just 24 trips.

But if we're repeating that means

we have to average out thousands of trips right, Lysa?

Yes. That seems correct.

This is--ah!

Give me my coat.

I can't think straight without it.

Come on, don't get my body drunk.

No, this is a good idea.

You should all switch things

so that I--we can keep up with who's who.

Jacket and dog tags.

So if we can't brute force this,

we gotta solve the mystery

and figure out why this is happening.

It all started when we brought the artifact

through the door.

Which is now broken.

Lysa, do you think you can fix it

while we examine the bracelet?

Hey.

It's a Gemini Bracelet.

The constellation is made up of twins.

Castor who is mortal and Pollux.

When they died, Pollux, the divine brother,

begged that Castor be allowed to visit Olympus.
