Library Penny introduces Derek to some other stories. For example, Kady. Back when the team was working to pull blood from a stone, Kady was not around. Turns out, she was working on solving some of her alter ego Sam Cunningham's cases. And, dealing with a new problem.

An entity named The Babayaga wants payment for the apartment's magical protections in the form of some really weird rent that Kady now has to gather.

Kady quickly pays The Babayaga one of the three magical items she's demanding, and has two days to get the remaining ones. She heads to find a source for help, and is greeted by Pete, Marina's old friend. He agrees to help her for a chance to meet The Babayaga.

Back to Zelda. Alice's book has her abandoning magic and moving to Portland. When Zelda and a coworker head to the scene to confirm her whereabouts, she is not there. Which Zelda does NOT tell her colleague, and instead maintains the lie. Hmmm…

Pete directs Kady to the black market, where she finds lots of hedge witches ready to make trades. She upgrades her goods until she finally has something to use to get the Bag of Holding that The Babayaga requires.

Then Pete's friend Gordie directs Kady to his friend Duke's house. He's got the last item she needs. Since he's dead on the floor, they take the doll that cries tears. Yikes! And then Pete grabs a Dewey out of the dead guy's pocket. Gross.

Library Penny introduces Fen's story. Turns out that she's been having some weird, prophetic dreams back when the magical animals stopped talking. She tells Josh about it and he has some advice on how to interrupt and control her own dreams.

In Library HQ, Penny and Derek get back into Fen's story. Her latest prophetic dream shows the antidote for the talking animals resulting in the fiery death of the lizard. Fen takes control of the dream and chases a strange figure. When she wakes up, she rushes to Margo and Co. and stops them from trying the antidote on the lizard.

Margo's not happy about it, but she agrees to hold on trying the antidote and to help Fen search for answers -- to chase down the woman she saw in her dreams and find out what's going on.

Kady helps Pete heal and pays off The Babayaga while he's recovering. When he wakes up, she asks him to call his hedge friends together. She wants everyone to know about what The Library is doing with the trackers on the Deweys -- and to band together. It's revolution time.

And back in Library HQ, Penny tells Derek that what Zelda, Alice, Kady and Fen are all up to now will change the course of history. They can't be filed away as sidekicks. Then -- TWIST -- Derek congratulations him. Turns out this was a test and Penny passed. Derek is his boss' boss, and Penny's being promoted. His new job: Collecting secrets taken to the grave. Next!
