Ever since The Beast was slain by Alice, Julia has been flailing trying to figure out how to banish Reynard back to wherever he came from. That desperation is furthered by the pregnancy resulting from her rape and Dana’s revelation that the only way to rid Earth of Reynard is to harness enough power while giving birth to a demigod. Julia wants no part of birthing A) anything god-like and B) anything that reminds her of her trauma, so even if she has to search the entirety of recorded history, even if she has to beg, borrow, and deal her way across every magical subculture there is, she’s going to find a way to work around becoming a mother. But before Julia can focus on taking Reynard down and making him pay for hurting her and countless other women, she has to figure out a way to rid herself of the being growing inside her.
On the next episode of The Magicians, Julia and Kady follow up on the contact Kady found that could help with the abortion, only there isn’t any possible abortion, not when the fetus inside Julia is not human. There’s not enough power to abort something like that, so instead, Julia’s uterus will have to be exorcised at the hefty cost of one million dollars…in gold. Luckily, Julia and Kady won’t have to worry about liquidating assets or raiding the nearest pawn shops in hopes of meeting their goal; they are, in fact, magicians and can utilize the talents they’ve honed to get the money without doing an obscene amount of leg work. But they can’t do it alone, not something like this that will have a million moving parts to take care of, so the two enlist Quentin, Penny, Margo, and Eliot to help them rob a local bank. Julia and Kady might have issues with some of their peers, but they need as many hands on deck right now as possible and if that means compartmentalizing some lingering annoyance and awkwardness, so be it. Yet even if the former friends are able to lift enough money from the bank to help pay for Julia’s exorcism, is there any hope that Julia and Kady will find a spell that can banish Reynard for good?
The Magicians airs Wednesdays at 9:00 on Syfy.
Will Julia and Kady get the money necessary for the exorcism? What happens if one of Quentin, Penny, Margo, or Eliot gets caught? Could Julia be forced into giving birth so that she could summon up enough power to banish Reynard from Earth once again?
