At Hexside, Gus is kneeling down at the lockers with a band aid on his face as Luz comes up to him concerned asking if he was okay.
Gus's friends as well as Perry were scared as to what could have possibly happened.
Gus replies that he messed up bad; Willow just needed help with her pixie problem so he would just lure them away with an illusion; Luz finishes saying that she heard that it angered the pixies and they attacked Willow.
"What? Is she alright?" yelled Gilbert, Harvey, Luz and Amity concerned scared as they are quite dangerous creatures.
"Come on, I am sure that I will be fine..." Willow tries to reassure looking at the look her parents were given her and Gus was moaning to himself about how badly he must have screwed up.
Gus says that he moved up two grades and what's the point of being good at this if he can't do anything good with it.
"Come on son; you are good with your illusions and I am sure that you will do great things." Perry spoke up as Gus sighed looking at the reassuring looks on his friends' faces.
Luz says that it was an honest mistake and besides Willow is tough as nails and she is sure they will both be alright by tomorrow with him smiling. cuts to Gs on the carpet in his room being agitated.
"Really beating yourself up dweebus there... Not the time..." Eda said as she was being given looks.
the opening is shown.
Gus is moaning with his crystal ball making a clock sound followed by a pre-recorded message of a relucant King giving a written introduction to Gus the illusion master with a red cape and to please leave a message.
"What was that? There is no way that I am going to go through with that junk!" King yelled indigniantly as there were chuckles and Gus gave him a nervous smile.
It is answered by Willow with her arm in a cast and band aids on her face, smiling she says hi to Gus thanking him for the get well soon illusions but then it shows the small illusions coming up to her head bothering her. Willow asks if he can please take them back as it ends and Gus covers his face with his hands.
Gus moans some more and Willow says "I am sure that I will get better soon and it's not like it will happen now..." She was looking at the more looks from her friends and family over seeing her like this. Gus was wondering if he could do anything good with his illusions now as Willow and Luz noticed and looked at him in concern
He then summons the illusions with them asking where is Willow, why are they there and did they do bad before Gus blows them away. Gus then answers the door as Luz greets him with nicknames; Gus deadpan says that she needs his library card to visit Amity.
"How many times must have you asked that kid for dweebus here to know what you wanted? Kind of obvious that you were crushing on her bad at this point." Eda laughed as there were chuckles to the embarassment of the young couple.
Luz says that she hasn't been doing a good job at hiding that to which Gus shakes his head. Luz explains that she was also hoping to do a little bit of research and drags him away.
They are walking the streets of Bonesborough with Luz explaining about how Eda's mum told her that she wasn't the first human to have lived in Bonesborough so if that's true then there might be some info about how they got there in the library.
"Well depending on how long ago it had been; they might have died there if they didn't find a way back." Skara pointed out and it got them thinking.
"Plus since I found the door myself then that means that they didn't use that to return." Eda pointed out as it seemed like a mystery.
Lilith was wondering how could she possibly have not known; you would have thought that she woudl have found something like that in all of her studies and time in the Emperor's Coven.
Gus with his head down says that looking at newspapers is all that he is good for anyway.
More and more viewers were looking towards Gus in pity over his state, hoping that he finds a way to overcome this.
Luz asks him if he's okay and Gus says that he had just been thinking what if it's time to explore different kinds of magic; Luz says that she is all for trying new things but what is wrong with illusions.
"Nothing!" says practically every illusion tracks student though there was a quiet scoff from Mattholomule.
Gus says that are just so but below them there is a slitherbeast and there is Braxas on the road with a balloon.
There were wide eyes and Amity looked behind her and called out Braxas's name in concern with his friends noticing as well. Braxas just looked excited to be on the screen.
Then in the way is Gavin and Angmar who has the slitherbeast slip on Abomination goo and uses vines to send it flying.
"Oh them..." Mattholomule thought as the audience watched excited and in awe.
Then there was Bria flying down using Construction magic to to trap it, saying good work to them and Braxas hugs Angmar with the lonlookers cheering with Gus wide eyed.
There were shouts of amazement, the Hexside people thought that Glandus wasn't too bad...
Warden Wrath asks Braxas if he's okay and he says okay and thanks the trio.
"So despite being a jerk enforcer to a corrupt system; he is a good dad." Luz pointed out and Braxas nodded enthusiastically; not noticing or caring that his dad was insulted.
"Doesn't make him boyfriend material..." Eda muttered with her arms fodled as Lilith blanched at the reminder.
Bria tells him to stay safe out there and Gus goes up to them saying wow and how they took down the slitherbeast like it was nothing; Gus notices that they are Glandus students and says that he goes to Hexside. They introduce themselves and then there is Mattholomule shouting and coming up to them tired while making excuses as to why he wasn't there to help.
"You know them?" Bo asked Matholomule who just humphed not wanting to talk about it.
Mattholomule tells Gus to back off since the operation is Glandus students only and Bria tells him that it's all cool and asks if he got the map; Mattholomule brings it out saying that he only had to endure 35 noogies from his older brother as Bria looks at it.
"You're not Glandus anymore; did you forget that?" Gus asked Mattholomule as he humphed again ingoring the looks he was getting.
Gus is about to leave but Bria asks if he has ever heard of the Galdorstones; powerful relics that many witches and demons have sought but all return empty handed.
"That is practically a suicide mission..." Lilith muttered as the Coven long ago decided that they were more trouble than they are worth.
"Do you know about them Eda?" Luz asks as Eda is silent.
Bria says that they heard some Coven scouts talking but it will be rough going and invites Gus saying that they could use the extra strength.
Gus turns it down saying that he promised that he would help out a friend that day but then there is Luz out of breath from using her invisibility glyph.
This took the audience by surprise, "shouldn't be spying like that Luz." Camila chided Luz as she apologised to Gus.
Luz said that Gus ran away so fast but she didnt' want to interupt. Luz thinks that he should go when Mattholomule snaps that he can't since he is just an illusionist who only holds them to which Luz calls him a regular super witch to which Gus is embarassed.
Mattholomule just had his arms folded in response to the glares from the illusionists. Edric and Emira looked like they wanted to murder.
Gus tells Luz that he sees what she is doing and it is super sweet but he doesn't actually know any spells besides illusions but Luz says no problem handing over some glyphs saying that he knows that she is all about proving jerks wrong.
"Don't you know Boscha?" Luz asks Boscha smirking as she in response gritted her teeth as the audience started laughing.
"I hate everyone here!" Boscha yelled.
Gus says that he is in and asks where do they find the Galdorstones; they cut to the them overlooking the Looking Glass Ruins. Mattholomule asks Gus if he's scared and Bria says that they all are and who knows what awaits them but they all have eachother's back and they charge forward with Mattholomule being unethusiastic.
Most were wondering how they would get on but Eda, Lilith and Bump feared for their chances.
At the library at the crystal balls Luz is searching for humans but finds reports about Eda flooding the market with dangerous goods, Planet of the Humans flopping at the box office and human resident Philip Wittebane donating personal diary to local library.
"That is good news..." Luz smiled but then there was a humphing from Lilith who got looks.
"Sorry but if you ask me... Planet of the Humans is an underappreciated masterpiece..." Lilith replied and they didn't know how to respond to that.
Luz sneaks to the kids corner with Amity having her arm outstretched to the young blonde girl asking for her hairband back saying that if she gives it back then she will read her whatever book she wants the next day.
Amity was embrassed as the audience thought of how cute this was, she noticed that Luz was muttering about Amity's hair being down like that to which Camila smiled.
She hands it back excited that she can finally learn how to summon the dark lord.
Said girl yelled excitedly as most of the audience were open mouthed. "Don't worry... I wouldn't let her try..." Amity assured them as the girl pouted. "Don't give me that, you know you got grounded by your mother when you first tried." Amity lightly chided her.
Luz is embarassed looking at Amity tie up her hair when Edric and Emira come up from behind them.
"You at the library seeing Amity with those kids only to run into those twins... Doesn't that seem familiar Luz?" Hal pointed out and this was noticed by the audience.
Luz greets them asking if she is picking up Amity and Emira says no since it looks like that she has that covered.
Luz and Amity were embarassed by the laughs, Camila was amused and Amity glared at her siblings who were both high fiving eachother.
Edric explains that he is looking for skincare tips since he has a date that night; Emira says that he needs all the help that he can get after he accidentally texted a poem to their mum to which Edric asks her to please not tell people that.
"Oh come on Emira!" Edric moaned in embarassment at the laughter that erupted as he then ignored the look from the student that he was most likely to have had a date with.
"Could be worse... They could see you without your concealment stone..." Emira teased as Edric asked her to be quiet.
Amity is right behind Luz asking if they were bothering her again and they are both embarassed as Luz says that he came to see her and and here she is. Emira pretends that Edric's face is exploding and Edric pretends but asks if is really, Emira drags him away saying that they have to fix it before his date or he will get dumped as Edric asks if he will.
"Do you know what it's like to deal with you sometimes Ed? Really do you?" Emira sighed in agitation as Edric looked away with more laughter coming their way.
Luz says that he was wondering if she could help her find this book showing her notebook with the drawing of the book, the name and saying maybe in the 1600s.
That surprised them if that was that long ago, "From that time wouldn't the guy have been one of those burn any and all witches types? Wouldn't think that he would survive long enough to have a diary..." pointed out one of the human students as they thought about it.
Amity says that it could help her travel through realms and Luz says that her mum probably thinks that she is missing right now so she has to get back to her as soon as possible.
"...Or there could be an imposter pretending to be me..." Luz muttered as she shared a hug with her mum.
Amity says that something that old must be kept in the Forbidden Stacks which they go to with a mouse going by them. Amity explains that only Malphas the Master Librarian is allowed in, Luz speaks in Spanish and said that's what her mum always says.
"She said not to worry, everything will be alright... Something I have been telling myself ever since this whole adventure with all of us here began." Camila explained
Luz says that she is sure that she can find another way and Amity says that she never said that she wasn't going to help, her staff card should be able to open these doors but once they are inside Luz has to listen to everything she says since she could lose her job if they are caught.
Amity gulped as she started to anxious as Luz held her hand to comfort her with the young kids being saddened at the thought that Amity might not be able to read to them anymore.
Luz promises that she won't lose her job holding her hand with them both embarassed. Amity says not to waste any time as they both enter.
"This is going to sound like a dumb question but... Couldn't you have simply asked this Malphas if he could get this diary for you to check out?" Samantha asked.
"Malphas is pretty strict about how and why he would let someone check out a book from the Forbidden Stack." Amity explained. Luz looks at her new girlfriend in concern hoping that she will be able to keep her promise; if she got fired because off her then she doesn't know how she would be able to handle that...
