How 'bout this one?

Nope. That's a spell to make an invading enemy dance

so they can't fight.

I can barely stand up,

let alone dance.

Oh, hurry, Theo, now his voice is fading away too.

- Okay, um... - This one could work.

It's a spell for healing the body.

- Okay. - What body?

I'm invisible.

Hear me, ancients.

My face is Ra, my spine is Sekhmet,

my muscles are the Lord of Kheraha,

and Thoth is all my flesh.

Make me whole again.

- It didn't work. - Okay, well,

try saying it with the Staff of Osiris.

I mean, it could boost the spell.

Use the staff. Great idea.

Okay. I'm ready.

- What are you waiting for? - I can't.

It's too powerful.

I could... I could really hurt him.

- No, no, no, no. - I'll take the risk.

Please, Theo.

Please.

Okay.

I need more room. Come on.

Come on, Will.

Wait up.

Thanks, Henry.

I've got you.

Are you ready, Will?

I'm over here by the sundial.

Oh.

Okay. Here goes nothing.

Hear me, ancients.

My face is Ra, my spine is Sekhmet,

my muscles are the Lord of Kheraha,

and Thoth is all my flesh.

Make me whole again.

What was that?

That, Miss Krait,

was the Staff of Osiris.

She found it.

And she's learning how to use it.

I'll fetch the carriage.

No!

You go.

I want to see if you come back in one piece.

Okay, where's Will?

I sent him up in smoke.

No, look. There he is.

You turned him into a rabbit.

I knew I wasn't ready for this.

What was I thinking?

Being a rabbit isn't so bad.

I can now do the magic trick

where I pull myself out of a hat.

- The rabbit can talk. - This is so cool.

Will, I am so sorry.

Oh, there must be a way to fix this.

Will, don't go.

"Will, don't go."

That was a good trick.

That was mean, but very funny.

I couldn't resist.

I'm so glad you're not a rabbit.

I'm still Will.

You feeling okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm great.

I was talking to Theo.

She never hugs anyone.

Your sister is certainly full of surprises.

Nice job with the Staff.

This was once wielded by Osiris.

And now me.

Wait, the Serpents saw me leave with the Staff.

They'll be coming for it. Come on.

Oh, they're coming. I can feel it.

We cannot let them get their hands on this.

The future of the world depends on it.

- Huh. No pressure then. - Use the Staff on them.

- It's not that simple, Henry. - I need a spell.

- Don't bite my head off. - I'm just trying to help.

All wearing our protective amulets.

But we need amulets for everyone...

Mum, Dad,

maybe not Clive.

They're here.

What we really need is a spell

that will protect the entire museum.

Try using the spell you used when you made the amulets.

Great idea.

Hear me, ancients.

Osiris, rise to our protection,

and let us stand behind the pillar of Ankh.

Chase away the furious rage

so we live our lives in peace and quiet.

Ugh!

Good morning.

It is now.

You tell your master you will

never get your hands on the Staff of Osiris.

This isn't over.

Come on, let's go.

Whoa.

This Staff is incredible.

I can do anything.

Wh...

Aw, what was that dancing spell?

Hear me, ancients.

Sebek, god of the Nile, commands you

to lay down your weapons and dance.

Whoa!

- Wow. - Five, six, seven, eight.

Yeah.

Go, Will. Go, go, go, go!

Come on, Will.

Come on, Safiya.

Aye!

Come on, Will.

Are you supposed to be doing party tricks with that thing?

No, she's right.

Hatshepsut gave me this Staff to guard,

not to mess around with it... Here.

Sebek commands you to stop.

Well, you're no fun.

I'm just saying.

It won't happen again.

I'll go find a safe place to hide the Staff.

I have great moves too.

We can all sleep safe tonight.

Right. Today in botany class,

we're going to be learning about pollination.

So let's take a look at your rose plants

you've been growing.

Very impressive, Henry.

Well, I invented an automatic sprinkler system

to keep it watered.

Wow.

Henry, that's amazing.

- Thanks. - No, I mean one

of your inventions actually works.

Hey. That's out of order.

Ooh.

Yeah, so is your sprinkler.

A few teething problems.

Look, Dad. Give me five minutes.

I'll get this fixed and I'll be right with you.

Wh... wait. Try not t...

Try not to water the whole museum.

It's strange everything being back to normal.

I know. I'm even enjoying lessons for once.

We should really try being in constant peril more often.

Beautiful specimen.

Look. Look, look, look, look.

Look at the pollen on the stamen there.

You see? Huh.

Oh, you poor thing.

I've been so busy I've completely neglected you.

Okay, wait a minute.

Does this mean I win botany class?

Well, it's not really a competition, Safiya.

No winners and losers here.

Tell that to Theo's rose.

Mm. Uh, pop it on the compost, Theo.

It can help feed the other plants, you see.

Make sure you water this rose regularly.

The soil must be moist, but not waterlogged.

They absolutely thrive in sunshine.

I wonder if that healing spell works on plants?

It needs to be done once a year to encourage new growth.

What we ought to do is snip here and there

to help control the shape of the plant.

Hear me, ancients.

My face is Ra, my spine is Sekhmet,

my muscles are the Lords of Kheraha,

and Thoth is all my flesh.

Make me whole again.

She is powerful.

Osiris flows through her.

But not for much longer.

Aapep has shown me her weakness.

You can break through the shield and get to the Staff?

There is a better way.

Begin the preparations.

Huh.

Extraordinary.

I've never seen a plant recover so fast.

That's almost magical.

You don't say.

Huh. Right, well,

I have to help unpack some Roman ceramics.

Um, do a spot of weeding while I'm gone, okay?

- Okay. - Bye, Dad.

Okay.

Hm. Theo, you promised me

you wouldn't use the Staff of Osiris.

I didn't. I just used

the healing spell that worked on Will.

So no Staff?

No Staff.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

There's a will, there's a way.

My rose is still the best though.

Oh, whatever.

It is ready.

Oh, great obelisk that touches the stars,

I am Yaret, Lord of the Two Shrines.

I command you in the name of Aapep

to awaken from your slumber.

All: All hail Aapep.

Stupid amulet.

What?

Do you mind?

You're supposed to be helping me

with the weeding.

Just two more minutes with my sun god, Ra.

I'm picking up a signal.

The Serpents are up to something.

Well, it's probably picking up

the magic shield that's protecting us.

- No, it just turned on. - We should follow the signal.

I'm not going on a wild goose chase.

You mean "wild serpent chase?"

Honestly, you never listen to me.

Yes, you're worrying over nothing.

And you always know best.

What's gotten into you?

Forget I even mentioned it.

Henry!

One minute Theo's blanking me,

and the next she's giving me a hug.

Have you tried talking to her...

I mean, does she like me or not?

- But what if she actually... - I mean, it...

It's cool either way.

I just want to know.

So why don't you...

Maybe I should go over there

and just ask her straight up.

That would be a good idea...

Yeah.

What am I waiting for?

I'm gonna do it right now.

Thanks, Artie.

Great chat.

You're welcome.

I'm Theodosia Throckmorton, and I'm always right.

I'm sick of her treating me like her baby brother.

- I'm not a baby! - Oh, goodness me.

Wait.

Out, out, out.

Oh. Right, sorry.

No, I'm talking to the weed.

Got it.

Have you seen Henry?

He's paranoid about the Serpents.

He thinks they're up to something.

But they can't get the Staff with the shield up.

Yeah, exactly.

Um, so, um,

the thing I wanted to talk to you about is...

Oh. Hi, Will.

I didn't know you were here.

What's up?

Nothing's up.

Uh... oh, see,

I just... I have some, uh, French

math stuff to do.

So I'm gonna... okay. See ya.

Look.

You did use the Staff on it, didn't you?

No, I didn't. I swear.

I just cast a tiny spell

to make my plant grow.

- So why is it still growing? - I don't know!

Unless the Staff boosted the spell without me asking it.

- Oops. - You might want

to ask it to stop helping.

Okay, I'll get the Staff.

We're trapped.

Look at these archers.

I'd hate to meet them in battle.

- They look scary. - Absolutely terrifying.

- Archer! - There you are.

- I mean, Mother. - So nice to see you.

Oh, in that case, you should invite me more often.

Is it raining out?

Does it look like it's raining?

So the umbrella is for...

For protecting my delicate skin

from that infernal ball of flame in the sky.

- Very sensible. - Mm, you should try it.

Might help you look less, uh, weather-beaten.

Would you like to see some Roman pottery, Mother?

I most certainly would not.

I come with good news.

I've secured places for Theodosia and Henry

at Grantham, the finest boarding school in the country.

Well, you, uh,

certainly succeeded in stopping your plant from dying.

But imagine if this was a field of wheat.

You could feed thousands.

The ancient Egyptians were so clever.

Hey, this modern one is pretty smart too.

So how are we going to fix this?

Um, well, we could try shrinking it

with the Shabti spell.

- Oh. - Huh. Yeah, Sh...

Sh... Shabti spell.

Okay, so, just wait a second.

Okay.

- Can I continue? - Now you can do it.

Thank you.

In the name of Osiris, Lord of the ever...

Wait.

Wait, no, this won't work unless I actually have

the cursed Shabti, and it's through there.

We could be stuck in this garden forever.

Yeah, I'm starting to wish I was a rabbit.

I'd sure have plenty to eat then.

Gotcha.

We are not sending the children

to boarding school, Mother.

But don't you think they would benefit

from a little more discipline?

I admit, we've had some problems,

but they're behaving much better now.

And lessons are going well.

I'm teaching them botany today.

Pfft. What a waste of time.

We employ gardeners for that.

Would you like some tea and cake?

Oh! Splendid idea.

Oh, what are you up to down there, Serpents?

Oh, no.

No, no, that's not good!

Henry Throckmorton.

So pleased to finally meet you.

- I need your help. - I'm not helping you.

But you have no amulet to protect you.

Hey, what are you...

Aapep will guide you.

All hail Aapep.

There's a good boy.

Let's talk about your sister, Theodosia.

Ooh.

- Ugh. - Um...

Man, if only Henry was here.

He'd have an invention or something for this.

Hm. Yeah.

They're called scissors.

No, no, no!

- It's hurting. - Stay still. Don't move.

I'm not exactly about to run a marathon.

Ouch!

This is a thorny problem.

My plant's become quite attached to you.

I know what you're doing.

Making light of it so I don't freak out.

- Is it working? - What do you think?

Um, let's try to unwind them.

Okay. Don't... try not to scratch my new shoes.

Okay, yeah. Not... it's not important.

Okay, totally agree. Yep. Just...

Ow!

Okay. That's not going to work.

Then what do we do now?

Okay, the important thing is not to panic.

Okay.

- Ah, Henry. - Can you take this letter

up to your father?

You centennials have got lots to learn about manners.

Milk and sugar?

I know what you're doing.

Don't think a slice of Victoria sponge is going to distract me

from the subject of boarding school.

Ah, now, I hear the strawberries in the jam

were grown in Buckingham Palace.

How wonderful.

I had no idea they... oh.

Alistair.

Henry. Come and say hello

to your grandmother.

Henry.

He... Henry!

Well, really.

This is exactly the sort of behavior I'm talking about.

Hey, look. I'm a rose

between two thorns.

Too soon?

- Yep. - I didn't really want

to learn this much about botany.

On the plus side, I did always want

to try out acupuncture.

Dad will be back soon,

and when he can't open the door...

Wait.

That's it, the door.

Oh, yeah, the one we can't even get to now?

- Yeah. What about it? - No, the unlocking spell.

Maybe it works on the branches.

Oh, yeah. Go for it.

Please. Look, come on, there's

no way that spell will even...

Hear me, ancients.

Ra, god of all that is light,

may the world become witness

to your infinite wisdom.

Nice one, Theo.

How come it only worked for you?

- It must be the Staff. - I need it in my hands

in order for it to work for you.

Okay, be right back.

My nose is itchy.

No. No, no. No.

No!

You know how Henry is when he's working on an invention.

Head in the clouds.

He didn't mean to be rude.

He's normally very well-behaved.

Have you seen an Egyptian staff about yea high?

And hello to you too, Theodosia.

You and your brother...

Oh, shush, Granny!

This is important!

- Theo. - Shush?

She... she shushed me.

I... I... I've never been shushed.

- Have you seen it? - No, we haven't.

I think you perhaps, um...

Another slice of cake?

Gah!

Thank you, Henry.

I had a feeling your sister's magic shield

wouldn't work on you.

The Staff of Osiris!

All: All hail Aapep.

Let Aapep guide your magic now.

You freed us.

No.

It wasn't me.

The Staff is gone.

Its magic is changing. I can feel it.

I... I can feel it.

The Serpents must have it.

Oh, I should have listened to Henry.

Henry. They have him.

For centuries, we Serpents have hidden in the shadows

as the light of Ra ruled the world.

We waited patiently, the watchers in the dark,

coiled and ready to spring.

Now is our time to strike.

Chaos... is here.
