Original subtitles

Previously on Marvel's Runaways...

Tandy: I saw his hopes. They weren't good.

AWOL: Finally, the real Alex Wilder.

You're a hard man now, right?

I'm not gonna apologize for wanting to live.

Tina: That's Morgan's dark army. They're gonna cross over.

Morgan will never stop coming for the Staff.

Morgan's power's growing. We have to stop her before it's too late.

You say that like it's gonna be easy.

You were worried about Nico and her connection with Morgan.

The more I feel like maybe we're on different paths.

Ty made me realize

that I cannot operate out of fear anymore.

Good evening, everyone. How nice to see you all.

I don't need the Staff as long as I control you!

Gert: You said a circle of it could contain Morgan's magic.

No!

...spirit to ransom!

I think it's over. Gert!

No, no, no, no. Oh, Gert.

I've got you.

Chase: Data log June 14th, 2028.

The two most powerful forces in life are invisible.

The first is love...

the second is time.

I'm about to harness one in service of the other.

If it doesn't work...

if for some reason

I don't come back and you see this...

please know that I'm attempting all of it

because I'm trying to...

make up for my mistakes in the past.

And I wanna make things better.

And that includes what happened to her.

Gert.

I mean...

it was always her.

And only her.

Julie: My feelings won't be hurt.

You wanna tell me what's wrong?

Nothing.I'm just not hungry.

Is it because of today?

The anniversary?

Three years, isn't it?

Yeah.It's really niceof you to remember.

Come here.

We all pledged to move on,to try to lead normal lives.

Which means having a future.

With you.

Sounds like another way of saying you're in denial.

Which probably is normal, but it isn't healthy.

I'm sorry, okay, you're the one

who chose to do the psych major, so...

-I'll see you later. -Okay.

Molly: One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight.

All right!

Brianna, lower your hips. That's good.

Now, I'm gonna place my right foot forward

and grab Christina by the waist.

Okay, now, this is it, you're gonna fly.

Strong snap on that toe touch, okay?

-Ready? -Ready.

-Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

Yes! Told you we could do it.

We're really gonna miss you when you graduate, Molly.

The whole school is.

Oh, thanks.

I love being part of all this.Especially this team.

It's a dream come true, really.

Maybe you could come back and help coach.

That might be nice, yeah.

Oh, okay.

-Oh! Hey. Hi, girl.

How is my Lacy doing?

Hey, have you seen 'em?

Chase?

Hey, Chase. Open up.

Chase: What is it, Molly?

Can you cometo the door, please?

Chase: Why? Are you sick?

No, dude, I'm not. Um...

I just wanna see your face,like, for real.

Chase.

What's going on in there?

Nothing. What do you need?

How about my sister back?

But if I can't have that, then maybe, um...

someone to sit next toand eat pizza

and rememberthe day she died?

My mind is on quantum entanglement at the moment,

and I need to get back to it.

But, uh, maybe Dale and Stacey are free?

No, they're onan expedition in Honduras.

Listen, it won't take long,

and you just never come out of here anymore.

I know, I know, I'm just... I'm at a really important stage and...

My dad was supposed to drop off a package, have you seen it?

No.

Just, listen, you... You're supposed to be my friend.

I would really appreciate it if you'd be around, you know.

Especially today.

I can't right now.

I'm sorry, I just... I can't.

Providing free Internet access to lower-income neighborhoods,

building a public school witha computer lab NASA would covet.

You've taken the Wilder name in bold, new directions.

Bringing our communityinto the future's

always beena part of my dad's plan

for the business.

I just harnesseda different kind of energy.

Clearly, it's working.

But with all this publicity comes scrutiny.

-Bring it on. -So you're prepared

for the investigations into your father's criminal past,

your mother's death, and your...

colorful foray into being a teenage fugitive?

My life's an open book.

And as for my dad,

you can go knock on hisoffice door and ask him.

He's just down the hall.

He's doing great:new life, new wife,and nothing to hide.

Thanks so much for your time.

I look forward to checking out the story.

-Hey, what's up?

Chase: Alex, I need help treating

the qubits with the microwave pulses

so they can go back to their original alignment.

-Can you send me the specs again? -Yeah, sure.

How many qubits are you using?

Chase: Um...

50.

Okay, and how lowcan you get the temp

on the dilution refrigerator?

Alex?

How did you know where I was?

I didn't tell anyone I was coming back.

Because I've been here before.

But you don't have the Staff.

I've leveled up, asshole.

-Chase: And so have I.

Get down!

I had this handled, thanks.

What happened to you while I was gone?

I'm not the Chase you know. I'm from the future.

-What? -And so is that Alex.

He's here to kill you, all of you. All of us.

I don't hear him.

Shit. He's gone.

He wasn't expecting you to be so... how you are,

which seems to be extremely magical.

Yeah, uh, while I was away,I was studying with a master.

Look, just think Coach Alphonabut with powerful spells

instead of, you know,bad sports analogies.

Speaking of, that scar doesn'tlook like a lacrosse injury.

It's not. Never trust anyone named Victor.

-Your dad did that? -Not my dad.

Also not relevant to our current situation.

We need to gather the others.

That's actually weirdlywhat I was just about to do.

So happy to have you back, Nico.

Would have been nice if you'd let one of us know.

Alex: Hey, things happen, okay?

One of you went on a mysterious sojourn

to a secret location

for an unknown period of time.

The other stayed at home and met a cute grad student.

That's life.

I wanted to reach out

to let you all knowI was home.

And I was literallyabout to...

when he showed upto try and kill me.

No, not me, some other Alex.

Actually, it is you.

It's the person you become.

Just like how you're the person our Chase becomes?

Hey, so that means that one day

he must get out of that bedroom

that he locked himself in.

-Should we go get him right now? -No.

I can't interactwith my past self.

Just like you can't interactwith your future one.

It can mess too much up.

Besides, the "me" upstairsneeds to keep workingon time travel.

With a little help from Alexand the Abstract,

eventually I'll figure it out.

Oh, my God.

Of all the people in the world,

you get to become a Time Lord?

That is so unfair.

Nico: I assume that's a "Doctor Who" reference

that, like always, lands with a thud.

But still, why would any version of Alex

want to kill Nico?

Chase: Because one of us tried to kill him.

A bomb was placedin his office.

It went offbut he survived.

Molly: Whoa. That's the exact same method

PRIDE used to kill my parents.

I'm afraid over time...

some of us followin their footsteps.

-Who? -Chase: I can't say.

Because you don't know?

No, because too muchinformation about your future

could createa shift in the timeline

and the results of thatcould be devastating.

More devastating than turning evil

and trying to kill each other?

Chase:Yes. Which is why weneed to stick together.

Future Alex doesn'tspecifically know

who planted the bomb...

so he's comingafter all of us.

Karolina: Why now?

Because today was the day

that Nico brought usall back together.

In memory of...

Molly: Gert.

His knowledge of what happenedgives him an advantage.

Nico: Gives youan advantage.

I see a quick solution here.

I put Alex in a spell

and we keep him quarantineduntil we're sure we're safe.

Oh, wait a minute, quarantine: do you mean like

in a hospital or jail or something?

Nico: I can make it nice.

Like Fiji or Hawaii.

Or that new Star Wars hotel.

Actually tempting.

Molly: So we play judge and jury

for something that he hasn't done yet?

I don't think so.

You know, thanks for believing in me, Molly.

Molly:I believe in you now.

Your future self,I'm not so sure about.

The future Alex is relentless.

If he can't get to one of us,

he's gonna go aftersomeone we care about.

Like Julie?

Who's Julie?

Julie: Oh, hi, um...

-Alex, right? -No, yeah, yeah.

We met at Karolina's birthday party at the karaoke bar?

I was the one singing Backstreet Boys.

Oh, I thought it was N'Sync.

Pfft! Long time ago.

It was in February.

You know, I'm actually really glad I caught you.

I wanted to leave something for Karolina,

but I didn't want to leave it at the front door.

Well, she's in class,

so you can give it to meand I'll pass it along.

It's kind of personal.

Uh, I kind of wanted to give it to her myself.

Okay. Well,she will be homein about an hour,

so if you wanna come back,then, yeah, or text her.

Mind if I wait?

Um... it's really important.

How about I justtext her right now

and we'll see what's best?

You know, I'll... I'll give it to you. Forget about it.

You can, uh... you can go ahead and give it to her.

Yeah, great. Okay.

Did you change your hairor something?

Something's different.

Yeah. It's a new look for me.

Oh, my God, Julie.

Alex: I'm sorry, Karolina.

This is the only way.

Why are you doing this?

Self-pre... pres...

You really thought she was gonna come alone?

We're still a team, traitor.

Put the gun down,or this is about to geta lot worse.

Where is it?

Shit. Must have forgot to put it on this morning.

Don't screw with me, Wilder.Where is it?!

Chase never did learn to control that temper.

-No! -Holy shit, what just happened?

-He just time-jumped. -Wait, where did he go?

Just give me a minute.

Maybe I can trace him usinga quantum backup system.

Uh... time-jumping quantum what?

How hard did I hit my head?

You guys got together for your friend.

-That's nice. -Here.

I feel like youtook my advice.

I'm Nico. I don't think we've met yet.

Uh, Nico, hi.

Um... Yeah, I've heardso much about you.

I... would loveto catch up sometime.

-Yeah. Uh, can't wait. -Come on.

What? I'm fine.

She seems great.

Can I come in now? I don't hear anyone who sounds like me.

Coast is clear, unfortunately.

So, you guys met the future me.

I'm not that bad, am I?

You pistol-whipped Karolina's girlfriend.

Wow, okay, but I didn't shoot her, so there's hope.

Nico: Wait, so, um...

Julie's her actual girlfriend?

Not just like roommates?

You were gone for three years, Nico.

And no one knew where you were.

Yeah, I know.I was just, um...

I was just making sure.

Julie: So, that's Nico.

What does it meanthat she's back?

For you and me?

Nothing.

I'm committed to you now.

I hope that you know that.

But it does mean that there's something

I have to do with my friends because...

if anything ever happened to you,

I would never forgive myself.

After this is all over, Julie and I

are going to take a Disney cruise

and have a very long talk.

Molly: Can I come?

Chase: Oh, no.

Well, that doesn'tsound good.

It seems like he's gone back to the day

before we discovered our parents in the basement.

That's before weknew about our powers.

-Before we became friends again.-We were at our weakest.

That version of us doesn't stand a chance.

We gotta save them, save ourselves.

-Here. -And these are?

Your own personal time machines.

Who's ready to go back to high school?

-Oh, shit!

Oh!

I feel nauseous.

Well, that's because you just went in reverse

around a donut-shaped vacuum

where spacetime can get bent upon itself

using focused gravitational fields

to form a closed timeline curve.

-And this watch did that? -Yes, it did.

Alex: You really figured it out.

Chase: Don't act so surprised.

And don't touch that. You don't want to accidentally

end up somewhere that you hadn't planned.

And if you touch someone or something when it activates,

it's all going with you.

Okay, there's enough power in each one of these for four jumps.

I'm down to two and so is future Alex.

He's going to need one to return to his original timeline.

Oh, so he can't jump backwhenever he wants.

Or he'll get stranded.

Can't believe he came here to hunt us.

And we had no idea he was coming.

It's efficient, devious. Typical Wilder.

Okay, really? Can we turn off the comments section,

because the troll factor's pretty high right now.

Okay, you all remember where you were on this day.

Go find yourselves, go guard them.

Lay low, try not to change anything that happened,

and under no circumstance

are you to interact with your former version.

I have no idea what type of time paradox that could create.

We get Alex, we get out.

Come on.

Brayden: Yo, it's gonna be a kick-ass season, bro.

Hell yeah. I'm gonna ripso many more G'sin you this year.

Yo, I'm gonna rip way more G's in you.

Pfft! Not with that lame-ass Evo Classic.

I will take my Classic over your Pro any day, bro.

Lucas: Bullshit. The only thing shorter

than the shaft on your Evo Classic is...

Karolina: Hi, guys. Hope you had a good practice today.

-Chase: Hey, thanks. -Mm-hmm.

Brayden: Oh, hey, when we win our game tonight,

we'll call you to celebrate.

Aw, thanks, but I can't. Church stuff.

Journey into brightness.

-Sorry, dude, we tried. -Tried what?

Look, dude,I do not like Karolina Dean.

Lucas: Don't worry, we won't tell Eiffel.

Oh, I remember this.

Oh, no, don't open it!

Oh, cool.

I'm the light. Yeah, I get it.

Very funny.

Or they're persecuting youfor your religious beliefs,

so not funny.

I thought you said Gibborim wasn't a religion.

Gert: Fair point.The lightbulb thing'sstill mean, though.

And I'm sorry... about that.

Karolina: Yeah, well...

I can't blame them for not knowing what they don't know.

Well, uh, that's actuallycalled ignorance,

and it's totally okayto blame them for it.

Hey, I'm actually startingthis club on campus.

Uh... "Undermining Patriarchy."

I can add this episodeto the agenda.

-If you-- -I gotta find a janitor.

Right, yeah.

Now, who'd wanna hang out with, uh...

intelligent, confident women

challenging institutional power structures?

So boring.

Gert! Gert, Gert!

Hey! So listen,I've got dance classaudition tomorrow.

I'm so sorry to hear that.

But it's reallyimportant to me.

And I find that profoundly sad,

like I have failed you in some way.

Well, um, you canmake it up to me.

Um, Eiffel, she's in chargeand she's in your class,

and maybe you could put ina good word for me.

Oh, no, no, no. You do not want me lobbying on your behalf

to any cheerleader.

It would just go really terriblyfor both me and them.

And also you don't need to find validation

in the opinions of the vapid and self-obsessed.

That's okay.

-Never mind.

This is important to you.

So I will extol your virtues

to anyone who will listen,

even if they have pom poms. Okay.

Thanks, sis!You're the best!

Um, by the way,it's the dance squad,so it's like no pom poms.

-But I love you. Okay. Bye. -Great. Cool.

Okay.

Alex: Uh, excuse me, could you give me a hand

on the cord there at the end of this?

There's a cord and it's stuck to...

Uh, the cord, it's right there at the end.

If you could grab that.

Before you pass that

right there on the corner, if you...

The AV Club provides a service

to the entire school, free of charge...

Nobody's gonna?

Hey, Nico.

Do it myself. I will, uh...

It's a little...

Make sure that we're okay.

Perfect. Great. Thank you...

to the sittin' gentleman on the curb.

Wow. Somehow that's actually worse than I remember it.

Is it bad I don'tremember it at all?

That's what I thought.

Young Alex: No one appreciates...

No one appreciates the AV club.

We're overlooked, understaffed, and undervalued.

Nico: This way. We'll cut him off.

Boy: Hey, nerd, let me help you with those flyers.

-Boy 2: Whoops.

Gert: Great. This is awesome.

Thank you so much, you cool, strong guys.

Boy: Oh, don't worry.

No one's coming to your sad girl club anyways.

Gert: Oh, sad?

Try justifiably furious.

And anger is energy, which clearly threatens you.

-Threatens? -Hey, dude, be nice.

It's not her fault she's sad.

You would be tooif you looked like her.

-I think she's beautiful.

-You do? -You do?

Lucas: Where did the five o'clock shadow come from?

Brayden: Whoa, lay off the HGH, dude.

I know this sounds weird,but can I give you a hug?

Obviously no.

The only reason you would do that is for some mean prank.

You'd probably record it and upload it.

Bonus points for seeking active consent first, though.

Thank you.Almost as good as a hug.

It isn't possible to explainhow much I've missed that.

Missed what? You saw me in homeroom earlier today.

I didn't see you looking like this, though.

Yeah, it's a costume.

I was auditioning for, um...

"Pirates of Penance."

Gert: That says "Penzance."

That scar is just so remarkably real.

Uh... thanks.

Now, you two dipshitsleave her alone.

-Why do you care all of a sudden? -Yeah. You know what?

I'm... I'm curious about that too.

Well, I mean,she suffers from anxiety,which is a real thing,

so when you guysbully her like that--

What? Wait, hang on. How do you know that?

I mean... it's obvious.

Obvious? What? How is it obvious?

-That's Wilder. I gotta go. -What...?

♪ Crash the system hack the planet ♪

♪ Death to the frauds and the fakes♪

♪ Set fire to the stakes... ♪

I got him!

Wilder! My God, you're late. The bus is waiting.

-Bus--? -It's a field trip.

-Ethical Hacking class, man? -That's today?

-Yeah, it's today. -Who's that in my jacket?

You know, whatever.Screw the time limit.

We might not getanother chance.

-It's leaving. -Alex, stay here, out of sight.

Everyone else, let's not mess this up.

Stop! Stop!

Mr. Stein. Hey, is there a problem?

Yeah, we're lookingfor someone.

-He shouldn't be here. -Well, I've taken roll,

and the only people who are on this bus

that shouldn't be are all of you.

There he is.

Hey, come on. No one needs to get hurt.

Just come with us, we'll work it out.

Hey, guys.Sorry I'm late.

I thoughtI was gonna miss...

Oh, what the hell?

I would say no weaponson school grounds.

But what is that?

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. -Alex, no!

-I'm Alex. Who is that? -It's you from the future.

-I got contacts? -Student: Oh, please don't kill me.

I can't die before Hillary is elected!

-Have you told them? -No, please don't.

-The truth? -About the election?

About who he is. Who you all are in the future.

Alex, you needto stop right now.

If you say anything else,you could ruin everything.

All their lives could betotally ruined.

He's the villain, not me!

-Ask him about the scar. -Chase: No!

-He's a lot heavier than he looks. -Yeah.

Given our historywith PRIDE,

I find the mind wipespell immoral,

but, you know,desperate timesand all that.

Take future Alex, get him to the gym.

Nobody will be there.

Okay, we're on our way.Ethical Hacking 102!

Whooo!

What happened?

I was just about to askyou the same thing.

This is literally anyone's worst nightmare,

to look into the future

and see that they turned out like you.

Come on.

We both know what happened in that jail cell.

What we did.

I was manipulated,tortured...

You killed your mom.

That wasn't my mom!

Well, you didn't know that at the time.

You wanna know how you get to where I am?

I embraced my true nature.

And what's that,a cold-blooded killer?

It's someone who will do what no one else will

in order to win.

-Chase: Doesn't seem like a win to me.

We tracked youand we stopped you

from committingseveral murders.

That seems likea win to us.

Now we take you back and we bring you to justice.

Alex: For something I didn't actually do?

Tell me, Chase, what evidence will you use?

What testimony?

The only people that will remember this are these people,

and they all turn out rotten anyway, you know that.

Maybe, because we know this, we won't become those people.

Yeah. We have the future knowledge that you talked about,

we can avoid becoming... this.

Yeah, or maybe one of you uses it to their advantage

to escalate things in their favor.

Nico:This is gettingtoo complicated.

Which brings me, again,to the fastest way out of here.

You, exiled to Hawaii.

-Or the Star Wars hotel. -Yeah, fine. Your choice.

-Take the hotel. -Nico, no, this isn't right.

Punishing him for something that he hasn't done?

He's not gonna stopunless we stop him.

I think I need to stop this.

Alex, can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah, I'm more than happy to take a break.

You're powerlesswithout this.

And you love that, don't you? Being in control.

That's what you've always wanted.

That's why you left.

What do you knowabout why I left?

That's why I need youto jump back.

For your own sake.

You being in close contactwith him?

And then Nico'sready to take thingsinto her own hands.

I mean, as nice asthat Star Wars hotelsounds...

I get it, I get it.

Listen. Now that I know about him,

I'm gonna do everything in my power not to become him.

And I hope that... in the future when we meet again,

that we're friends. For good.

I hope so too.

I'm a hugger.

Oh, yeah, I forgot that.

-See ya. -I hope so.

Nico: Leaving wasn't some power trip.

It was the only waythat I could survive.

Amy died.

My dad died. Gert died.

You were trappedin a nightmare

that seems to havemessed you up for life.

And the whole time,I had the powerto save everyone.

But I didn't knowhow to use it.

You could have at least said goodbye.

I didn't want youto stop me.

I wouldn't have.

I didn't want to stop myself.

And I would'vestayed with you

and I would'vebeen miserable

for the rest of my life.

So you're saying that life with me would have been miserable?

You never stopped for a moment to even think

that maybe we could figure it out?

-But I did figure it out.

And now I'm back

and I'm capable ofdoing what I have to doto keep us all safe.

Chase: You won't need to, I hope.

Where did the older... or younger me go?

Chase:He went home.

Like the restof you are about to.

Your mission is over.

I still have something left to do,

but this is where we go our separate ways.

What do you have to do that we don't?

I'm going to save Gert.

That was always the plan,

my entire purpose behind building the time machine.

And after seeing her here, now,

I can't turn back until it's done.

But you couldget killed trying.

We all know what happenedthat night with Morgan.

-That's a risk I'm willing to take. -I wanna help.

Molly, no...

She's... No, I don't care. She's my sister, I have to.

Molly, no.If things go wrong--

Alex: Forget about if things go wrong.

If they go right, you'll all be committing suicide.

Karolina: What are you talking about?

The lives you have right now... they'll all be erased.

Everything that happened,

it took place after Gert's death,

maybe even because of Gert's death.

If you change that, you change everything.

Chase: He's right.

But there remains the possibility that

you'll make the exact same choices again.

Only this time,

Gert will be there to share it with you.

That's the vision that's kept me going this whole time.

I think the way we feel about each other

will stay the same.

And we'll bestronger for it.

Are we ready?

You guys really wanna do this?

Let's go save Gert.

Stacey: I'm doing the best I can considering...

Whoa.We're right inthe middle of it.

-No, Molly! -Oh, my God!

Dale: Uh, well, I'm sorry. I was just trying...

My bad.

Oh, my God,

that's not getting any easier, is it?

-I still have nightmares about this night.

-Morgan's on her way. -We barely won.

Exactly.And that's whymy plan is simple.

Since we defeated her,we can't disruptany of what we did.

We just need to pull Gert outso she doesn't get killed.

Okay, but who's gonna close the circle?

-I will. -Not a chance.

Morgan will just kill you. I'm the strongest.

Karolina: But not invincible.

I have the powerto take her on.It should be me.

But your light power is no match for magic.

It's me. Magic against magic.

She almost broke youlast time.

-I'm stronger now. -All I have to do is complete the circle.

Nico, just shield mewith a spell.

That way, Morgan'sgonna be distracted--

Stacey: ...blenders found in this house can be.

Dale: Well, of course, we're going to thoroughly deep-clean the blender.

-No! -If we go after him, we'll reveal ourselves.

Hey, Alex, we're gonna go check on your dad if you want.

-Alex: I'm good, thanks. -Stacey: Guess not.

-Dale: He look different to you?-Mm-hmm. That nice jacket.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea

to bring evil future Alex along with us.

It was our only option.I didn't have enough jumps

to take him backand then still get here.

You two, upstairs.Molly, come with me.

Nico: How do we hold off the dark army?

Tina: I can try a spell, but once I begin,

I will need to maintain it.

You'll be on your own.

Do it.

-Where do we go? -We need to get

a good eye line on Morgan's final position.

-Come on.

Hey, uh, look, I know

this isn't exactly the right moment.

But we might be running out of time.

I know we haven't seen eye-to-eye

since Morgan came into our lives.

But, um...

you know, like, I've disappointed you...

and I've really scared you and almost lost you...

but you've never given up on me.

I... I just wanted you to know that, um...

I've noticed.

I never will give up on you.

Everything's gonna be okay.I promise.

Leslie: Karolina! Can you give me

a hand with Geoffrey for a minute?

-I gotta go... -No. No, Nico, no!

-Oh, shit.

But you didn't reallybelieve her, did you?

Am I hallucinating? Is this one of Morgan's tricks?

No. It's, um...It's time travel.

Oh.

Okay.

Where's your Staff?

I've outgrown it.

It's hidden awaysomeplace safe.

So I guess I survive. Right? We're going to win here?

Defeat Morgan?

I'm breakingso many rulesright now. Um...

I just, I needto tell you something.

Something that'smore important

than Morgan or the Staff.

I know what's goingthrough your mind.

You think that youcan't have it all.Right?

That you have to choose.

Strength versus love.Darkness or light.

That the only wayto protect those you love

is to leave them.

And I think I made a mistakein this moment, so...

just stay and fight.

Believe the waythat Karolina believes,

with your whole heart.

Let her lead youinto something better.

That's what love is...

and I think...

knowing what I know now...

it's way morepowerful than magic.

Why did I go in here?

Was I looking for something...

Gert:Chase, Chase, Chase!

Dale said that youwere the only person

he hasn't gotten to yet.

-Chase, Oh, my God, no! No!

Good evening, everyone. How nice to see you all.

Now tell me, where is Nico?

Transport.

-Haaa!

Hmm. That didn't really work out

quite as planned, now, did it?

-It's Morgan, she's here,

and I think she's already won.

We're getting our asses kicked.

Should we step in?

Just trust me,we gotta wait.

I'm gonna get the Fistigons. Cover me.

I know it's confusing... but it's also painful.

What?

-What's he up to? -I've got him.

We have to do something!

I'll be right back.

Tina...

The salt, you said a circle of it

could contain Morgan's magic.

Mind if I step in?

Pirates of Penance?

I would love to explain, but I'm here to save your life.

-I don't need you to save me. -No, you don't.

You're willing to die for what you believe in,

die for your friends.

That's what happens when you go out there, it's just...

We've all had to live without Gert Yorkes.

That's not a life worth living.

If we can change the world for the better, we should.

You taught me that.

So, please, I am begging you, just stay here.

-Okay, I have to go. -Wait, but, Morgan--

It's okay. We win, Gert.

Because of you...

-...we always win.

Nico is mine now.

I can't have anyone getting in the way of that.

Maybe you didn't hear me.

I do wish you'd listened to me.

It would have been much easier for us all.

But then... I probably should have expected as much.

You're just a bunch of stupid, pathetic children.

But we aren't children,are we?

Not anymore.

Because adults like youtook that away from us.

Always making decisions in our "best interests."

-Even if that means lying

or hiding the truth.

Is it any surprise that...

we don't listen to a word that you say?

If this is the placewhere we haveto pause the action

to listen toyour moving speechabout how evil I am,

let's just skip that part,shall we?

What's happened? A shielding spell?

It's Nico! From up there.

Uhh...

This isn't Tina...

-Ugh!

There goes your shield.

Maybe he doesn'tneed a shield.

-Gert, no! -Maybe he needs a partner.

There's no way I was gonna leave

something as important as this to you.

I mean, no offense.

You can offend meas much as you want,

back in the magic room,away from here.

You two are adorable.

It shouldn't work, but somehow it just does.

Well... at least you're gonna die together.

-No!

Looks likethe pathetic children win.

Again.

-No!

You can't keep me in here forever!

No. We can't.That's why we're

sending you backto the other side.

And sealing the gateway closed forever.

The doorway to darkness,

behold the transom,

open it now with a spirit to ransom.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Chase!

Oh, my God, oh, my God, Chase, no! No!

Hey! Hey...

-We did it. -Yeah.

No.

No.

-The weirdest thing happened.

then... then who...

Yeah, and who is that?

I can feel it.

Don't. Just...

promise me you'll find me.

Wherever we are.

I will.

Karolina, come on!The eye makeup doesn'thave to be perfect.

It's just breakfast, dude, and I'm starving.

When are you not starving?

It's not always about the makeup, you guys.

I was taking a minute to be grateful.

Yeah. Seems likewe dodged a bullet.

Oh, by bullet you mean a Sorceress Apocalypse.

Hopefully the last time.

What? Are you breaking up the band, Wilder?

I'm not breaking up any band, Chase.

I'm just saying a little peace and quiet would be nice, no?

Just after breakfast. Right? Let's go.
