Previously on Theodosia...

Grandad says the Egyptian legends are all true.

Aapep is trapped inside the Great Pyramid.

The pyramidion is holding the key.

Most unfortunate what happened to your father.

Thank goodness you're nothing like him.

Theodosia and Henry are lucky to have you here.

What is that?

Don't you know an Egyptian false or 'ka' door when you see one?

It seems like a sort of portal or a gateway.

Another chamber for you to explore.

Breathe easy. There's not a lot of air to go around.

Granny!

Hey, cuz, we need to talk.

That's Granny's necklace. What are you doing?

That dancing spell? That was you?

Amazing what you can do with a magic flute in the right place.

At least it finally got the pair of you two dancing together.

Call it my birthday present to you.

Nigella, we trusted you.

That might have been a mistake.

But you're Nigella, you're one of the good people.

The Serpent on her wrist says otherwise.

No, you can't be after the key to Aapep's dungeon.

What could you possibly want with magic like that?

Let's think...

Power, strength...

The chance to put people like the great Lady Throckmorton there

in their place. What's she ever done to you?

Plenty. But what matters right now is getting that key.

If you free Aapep, you won't even realise what's going to happen.

Chaos will come.

The old order will be overturned.

The strong will succeed.

I will succeed.

THEME MUSIC PLAYS

Sorry, cousin, Aapep must be freed.

You wish.

I'm guessing you're going to try and stop me.

Too right she is.

GROANING

Nigella, you are under control by the Serpents. I can help.

Controlling me?

You know, I really am fond of you.

Remember all the fun we used to have when you were little?

All those games?

Funnily enough, I don't remember playing "Knock out Granny

"and steal her necklace", do you Henry?

See? You're smart

and funny. I like you.

But I'm not so fond of your family.

Especially dear great-auntie there.

Family's supposed to be there for you, isn't it?

Where were they when my dad got in trouble with the law?

They threw him out, afraid of a scandal.

Didn't you ever wonder why I stopped visiting?

See?

The Serpents cared, though.

They took me and my dad in.

They looked after me after he was gone.

Where were all of you?

Nigella, if that's what happened, I am so sorry.

But you cannot want this.

We can fix everything.

Sorry, cuz. That's not happening.

Theo, you have to stop her.

Hear me, ancients. Ra, god of all that is light.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

I might not have magic,

but Aapep does.

And there's something the Great One wants you to see.

Miss Krait. Are you there? We can't shift this door.

Help. Miss Krait.

Nigella. No. You can't do this.

She is doing it!

Someone here gets it.

And if you want to stop me, you'll help me open that pyramidion.

Now. Do it yourself! I would if I could, believe me.

But that lock requires magic to open.

Real magic.

Like Theo's.

There has to be another way. My parents are in Cairo.

If you let Aapep out, they'll be right there. Your parents, too.

Oh, believe me, if Aapep gets out everyone will know about it...

..soon enough.

But at least my way,

Theo's parents get a chance.

Fine. I'll do it.

It's not like I have much of a choice anyway, is it?

Good for you, cuz.

GROANING

Aapep wouldn't like it if you attack me.

No, Will, stop!

You win.

The key to Aapep's prison.

Thank you.

No...

No, Nigella, wait... My parents are in danger.

We're all in danger now.

GRUNTS

Is it me, or is it getting kind of stuffy in here?

Yes, it is rather.

I'm sure Miss Krait will be back soon enough.

Though... Though?

..I don't even know where here is and how we got here.

All I remember is Miss Krait leading us and then...

Same here.

Total blank.

Too much desert heat, I guess.

Maybe there's something in here we can use to...

Wow.

Extraordinary.

Oh, the colours!

So fresh.

Ali, we must be the first to see them in 4,000 years.

COUGHING

Careful, darling. Careful.

Save your breath. Don't want to be the last.

We can be careful and keep looking, can't we?

HE CHUCKLES

This place, it's incredible.

Fling wide the gates.

It's no good, I can't get it to open!

Get what to open?

Theodosia, is that you?

What's going on?

We have to get her out of here, fast.

Out of where? What is this place?

Does anyone else have an answer other than Grandad's secret room?

Cos I've got nothing. What are you going on about?

Nigella.

She brought me here,

said you were all hiding it from me.

What? We didn't mean to.

We definitely did.

This room. These artefacts.

In Harold's own museum. How could you?

Please, we have things to worry about.

What are you blathering on about, child?

Who took my necklace?

I was struck.

There's been foul play.

Where are you going, Granny?

The police. The police must be informed.

The last thing we need here are the police.

Yeah, but what about Nigella? And Aapep.

Don't worry about it, I'll sort it, OK?

I'll use every ounce of magic I have in me.

But... Henry, leave it.

Theo started this. She can stop it.

Come on, let's get your gran.

Saf, please, I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry, you make this right.

I will, I promise.

OK. First we need to get to Egypt. Come on, Will.

Hey, what is it?

That's it. That's our way to Egypt.

We've got to stop her from using that phone.

OK. Look, you follow her. I've got a plan.

OK, telephone cable. Telephone cable.

Look, that Ka door nearly turned me and Henry to stone, remember?

Besides, I thought the magic was broken.

No, I reckon I can fix this.

I just need to get some extra gear from my room.

And some desert-friendly clothes.

What about all that sand trapping your mum and dad?

Do you have a spell for that, too?

That...

I... I'm working on.

It's OK. You don't have to do everything.

I've got an idea. Meet me back here in five.

OK, great. Thanks, Will.

We'll put this right.

Nigella won't know what hit her.

Aapep's hour approaches. It does indeed.

The Great One will soon be free.

And the girl? Don't worry about her,

she's got plenty to deal with.

You've done well, Miss K.

Thank you. But I'll take it from here.

It's time for the way to be opened.

It is time for the Great One to rise again.

There, that bandage should do.

What on Earth do you mean I shouldn't phone the police?

There's been a burglary, or worse.

Worse. So worse.

And it's nothing the police can help with.

Why ever not?

Because...

Because magic.

Kindly endeavour to make some sort of sense.

Because magic is real and it's all over this building and right now

Theo's trying to stop the most dangerous thing in the world

escaping and save her mum and dad, and then my parents are in danger...

Magic? Danger?

The stuff of nonsense.

Oh, I never took this kind of foolishness from Harold.

I'm certainly not going to take it from a child,

even if she is a princess. Really...

What are you doing?

I shall inform your uncle!

That should do it.

Hello, operator?

Opera...

BEEPING

Oh, the heavens, I've been cut off.

Nice one, Henry.

Is this another of you children's pranks?

I thought all this ridiculousness was behind you.

Seriously, no pranks involved.

You were lying to me.

To everyone.

Ah, maybe another time.

No, stop right there, man.

I have a use for you.

I want you to go down to the stores at once

and catalogue the finds in the new room.

I'm sorry, the new what?

There is another room in the museum,

something neither my husband nor anyone else

chose to inform me about.

And it is full of artefacts.

I want them dealt with!

Right. A brand-new room.

Just popped out of nowhere, did it?

She hit her head.

Surprised it made a difference.

What are you muttering about?

Go down to that room while I get the police.

The police?!

Don't worry about her Ladyship.

I can deal with her.

Well, someone needs to.

Now, now, your Ladyship.

You just sit here and don't worry about anything.

Princess Safiya will look after you

and I'll go see about this new room of yours.

SHOOING

There has to be a spell here somewhere.

"Spell for making your enemy's hands smell of camel dung."

Right. Not what I want.

And now to contact the police.

But the phone's out.

I have legs, don't I?

A brisk stroll will aid in my recovery.

Here we go.

Hear me, Ancients.

Vigilant Sia, Guardian of the First Gate.

Let the Desert Protector unlock the gate to the arrival of Ra.

Swallower of Sinners, God of the Second Gate,

let me pass the Lake of Fire.

Mistress of Food, Guardian of the Third Gate,

let me cross the Lake of Life.

Let me carry the ropes of the gods

to the fourth gate...

What the...? This has got a magical mix-up written all over it.

Really, child. Do get out of my way!

MAGICAL WHOOSHING

What on Earth?

The door's disappeared.

Uh, typical.

Open the way and let me follow the path.

Well, that totally didn't work.

I'll go again.

Hey. Anyone out there? The door's vanished.

Henry? Where are you?

I'm in here.

What did you do? Me? Nothing.

Has to be a Theo special.

Look, get me out of here. Shut up. Rude.

No, no. Someone's coming. You've got to be quiet, like, right now.

Who are you talking to?

No, no, no.

No-one takes that dratted machine anywhere.

Last time it got out it destroyed half of the museum.

Now, put it back at once.

But I... At once!

Hear me, Ancients. Vigilant Sia, throw wide the doors,

open the way and let me follow the path.

MAGICAL WHOOSHING

SHE GASPS

Yes! Seventh time lucky.

So, why don't you sit down?

We've got a lot to talk about.

Clive! What?

Would you like to see a magic trick?

Look. It's the King of Hearts.

No. Certainly not. I want you to put that contraption back.

Hello, Clive.

What's the matter with you?

You're half jack-in-a-box, you are.

What do you want?

That's a very good question.

And I'll give you the answer any second.

I'll bet what I'm going to say has got something to do with Granny.

Well, if you ask me, her Ladyship has gone completely potty.

Secret rooms. Hidden artefacts.

Next thing you know, she'll be telling us

the whole place is cursed. You know, I would not be surprised.

There's something here about a magical flail.

Made by...

..Hemiunu.

The chap who designed the Great Pyramid?

That's what it says here.

And, look, there's something here about a ceremony.

Filling the flail

with Ra's light,

so it may battle Aapep.

Myths are so vivid.

They make you want to believe they're true.

What I'd most like to believe is Miss Krait's coming back.

It's getting kind of hard to breathe.

Definitely a trifle stuffy.

It's OK.

It's OK.

She'll be back.

Stiff upper lip and all that.

You're so British sometimes.

Sorry.

I get it from my mum.

Still, I'm sure we'll be out and enjoying tea and cake in no time.

OK, maybe too British.

Bring me to those who bore me.

Help me guide them to safety. For this, oh, Sia, I thank thee.

All set?

This should help with the sand.

Saffy?

When have Henry's inventions ever let us down?

Actually, don't answer that.

Actually, no, this is exactly what we need.

But...

You can do this, Theo.

I can? Stop Aapep from escaping?

Rescue my parents?

You'll find a way. You're Theodosia Throckmorton,

smart, brave and fierce.

Sure you've got the right person?

OK. Smart, brave and fierce.

Like a tiger. Raar!

Right. OK,

we need to touch here and here.

Cool. This time, let's do it without anyone turning into stone.

Well, by the time that happens, it'll already be too late.

Anyways. C'mon, we've got my parents to rescue

and an ancient evil to stop. Ready?

Let's go!

Spot-on.

Well, not quite spot-on.

Come on, help me with this. Mum and Dad can't have much time.

OK.

Hey...

Hey. Hello, hello.

Are you OK?

Are you all right?

Just needed a little shut-eye.

Been a strange kind of day.

It certainly has.

Discovered two amazing chambers.

Just...

Just a pity we got stuck in one of them.

Wonder what the kids are doing.

Probably leading my mother a merry dance.

Sounds like them.

Just so long as they're safe.

Yeah, they're safe.

I love you, darling.

I love you so much.

You mean to say it's all true?

Magic?

Theodosia's powers?

And Harold was part of it, too?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

So, Alistair's really in danger?

And Henrietta, of course.

We're all in danger.

But Theo's going to make it all right.

She'd better, anyhow.

You will be free soon, Great One.

And then we will build a new world.

In the name of Aapep,

Great Snake of Chaos,

Sun Devourer,

Lord of Nothingness!

Why is nothing happening?

What have you done wrong?

You have to be more patient, Miss K.

Chaos is coming.

Chaos is coming.

Mum?! Mum, can you hear us?

We're coming, OK?!

WHOOSHING

Aapep.

Go. I've got this. But...

I'll make sure your mum and dad are OK.

You have to stop Aapep.

OK. But please, help them!

Mr and Mrs Throckmorton.

Oh, no. Please, no!
