Hello and welcome to the first episode of The Magicians season 3! Our Fillory homestead is still blighted by the recent fairy invasion and we just can't shake em. It doesn't help that they can seemingly hear and see everything, everywhere. We would ask for help, but Penny is a bit preoccupied by dying at work and Quentin is doing Jager Bombs with the god of hedonism. Can't pull him away from that kind of party. Thanks for listening!
