With Teen's full backstory revealed, Elysia and Jean make sure none of the exquisite, heart-breaking details passed you by – including all the clues in his room, in the past and now, and telling Easter eggs from his research into Agatha – following an unexpected character cameo. How do the pieces of all these witches' ("possessive plural") lives fit together, how real is Rio, and what excuse will Elysia find to shoehorn in a Man-Thing mention? All is answered within.
