'''Season 5, Episode 6'''

!Oops!...I Did It Again
Debris from the cracked Moon will destroy Earth in 12 hours, but Margo and Eliot have help in the form of a time loop.
----
!!Tropes That Appear In This Episode:
* TheBusCameBack: Charlton returns, having managed to hang on in Eliot's mind while the Monster and everything else he ate was sucked out.
* CallBack:
** Margo and Eliot using Permanence on themselves to change history on Fillory allows them to remember the time loops on Earth.
** Margo and Eliot visit Stoppard in an attempt to go back further so they can stop the Moon breaking apart, but the time magic the whales already have running trumps his.
* CassandraTruth: Eliot tells Margo that the Monster is still in him and wants to be let out, but she assumes it's just memories of the Monster that he doesn't want to deal with. While the latter may also be true, something really is inside him and wants out, it just happens to be Charlton and he just has a horrible sense of being polite.
* TheChosenZero: The pig man from the season premiere went to ''Todd'' for help, apparently because he felt any man would be better than a woman. Julia is understandably pissed, and Todd himself realizes he's out of his depth.
* FailureMontage: Eliot and Margo run through several failed attempts to stop the destruction of Earth, each time punctuated with the Moon rocks impacting the Earth as seen from orbit.
* GoryDiscretionShot: All we see of Penny's botched attempt to teleport is a pool of blood and his shoe with a foot still in it.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Thanks to wards meant to keep the kraken sealed, Earth is stuck in a 12-hour time loop until the thing that broke the wards is fixed. Unfortunately, the problem being the ''Moon breaking'' is something of a quandary, as they lack the ability to solve that problem.
* IfIWantedYouDead: Margo offers to tell Stoppard where Penny is so he can get revenge in exchange for his help, reasoning that it's a matter of priorities, but Stoppard tells them that he would have taken his revenge already if he wanted to. He's not so petty as to refuse to help in an apocalypse scenario.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Charlton was behind the whispering, messages in blood (red paint), and knocking. He concedes that his attempts to be polite may have come off more sinister than he intended.
* TheReveal: The pig man that wanted to offer Quentin a quest back in the season premiere was talking about the destruction of Fillory, not Earth.
* StartXToStopX: In order to prevent the destruction of the Moon and the release of the kraken, Eliot convinces the whales to deliberately release it ahead of schedule so he'll be sent back far enough to stop the destruction of the Moon.
* TeleFrag: In one of the loops, Margo convinces Penny to teleport to the Moon to open a portal of sufficient size to stop the falling Moon rocks. Lacking his psychic GPS, Penny instead minces himself about ten feet away.
* TrustPassword: Eliot tells Margo "credenza" so she'll go along with his new plan after he's sent back to before the Moon breaking apart.
