Recap[]
Synopsis[]
End-of-year holidays are approaching and the Pilot Program kids are preparing to return home for festive familial fellowship, all except Evan (for obvious sadboi reasons). Jammer looks forward to a big family gathering, Sam mulls over a new surname, and K offers their boyfriend the chance to join them in Seattle. They are all informed, however, by the as-yet undeposed Headmistress Boudicca Philtrum that their requests to return home have been denied. This disappointing turn is the result of an annual lull in the potency of magic. The Lulling, as this diminishment is known, lends its name to a festival during which the magical community comes together in solidarity amid the loss of their powers. Central to the festival is a ritual, also called The Lulling, in which a mage-eating beast known as the Tadeshacourt is lulled to sleep.
This monster, huge and bear-like with a fleshless deer skull for a head, is not real but rather a metaphor for the lull of magic which the community meets with unity, or so insist the wizards. Unconvinced after months of seeing how inquisitive the wizards aren't, the transfer students maintain vigilant attention for signs of trouble. Minister Peddleston McJonjon, Minister of Education and the Executor of the Lulling Ritual, is introduced to the Pilot Program kids and makes an excellent impression (although they make a point not to assume his beneficence). Interactions with Sam and Jammer's romantic partners go less swimmingly, complicated by the Pilot Program kids' clear intent to take the threat of the Tadeshacourt seriously.
After the ritual is complete, the students find antler velvet, an indication that the Tadeshacourt is on the prowl. Further investigation leads them to the bloodied form of the minister. Matters complicate further as tensions rise between romantic partners, and an interaction with Axelby Killoran suffers as a result of the Pilot Program kids' blood-spattered appearance. Zeal undiminished, the Pilot Program kids plan a party (dubbed, the LOL-ling) to bring the school together in supplement of the ritual. The Kitchen is recruited as caterer, plans set in motion for "party favors," matters with Axelby are smoothed over, and the LOL-ling is a go. Despite the roaring success of the party, the Tadeshacourt still arrives in all its vicious glory, but with everyone's efforts the beast is lulled to sleep once more. Evan discovers the beast is a result of the fear wizards have for the rest of the world gaining magic.
