Back in Fillory, it turns out that despite the country going broke, Eliot's about to purchase a very old boat to go on a a quest. The quest is a go, but the Fairy Queen has opinions about it.

In order to get this done, the gang is gonna need one of the magic batteries Mayakovsky made. So Quentin, Josh, Julia, and Kady head to a Magicians bar where a bear (clearly Mayakovsky) attacked a bunch of people. Quentin goes to find his old friend Emily Greenstreet. She's always trouble. Oh and now she's married to Mayakovsky. Yep.

Back in our realm, Emily Greenstreet tells the team they need to seek a different woman, and so they head to places in the city where magic is happening. An elementary school where a dinosaur was conjured and...

A university where orgies keep magically breaking out…Julia and Quentin learn that Alice (who's now carrying a kitten everywhere) is hot on their trail as well. AND that a woman cast the spell. Who was it?

Meanwhile, on their quest for the keys, Eliot and Fen and Fray come across an island that's being terrorized by a flying monster. The priest who lives there uses a magic key to protect the people. Or does he?

Back on Earth, Quentin finds that Professor Lipton was the one who helped Mayakovsky make his magic batteries, and now that magic is gone, she's furious and has been doing magic across the city. Now suicidal, she drops the battery and it shatters. So much for that.
363683
So now the team have no access to magic. AND, Alice's kitten exploded. Because the Lamprey was near. That's her insurance policy. Problem is, the gang is out of options magic-wise. But you know who else might have one? Emily Greenstreet.

When the gang gets to Emily's apartment, it urns out that Kady beat them there and stole Emily's battery. But what does she want it for?
363685
Penny. Of course she wants it for Penny. She's going to cure his very aggressive magic cancer.
363686
Back in Fillory, Fray tells her father that it's clear the priest is a liar. Fen backs that plan up as the daughter of a blade-maker. And so Eliot takes the key and ruins the priest's reputation. The first key is gotten, six more to go.

Finally, that magic in Fillory seems to have ignited another chapter in the book of the keys quest, and as Quentin tries to read it, he's attacked by the Lamprey who…gets under his skin, literally.
