Kyra's Orb power transforms Maxwell into a guinea pig so Lily and Imogen help by participating in a tension-fraught sleepover with Kyra's increasingly suspicious friend Mathilda.
- Animorphism: Kyra involuntarily turns Maxwell into a guinea pig.
- Awkward First Sleepover: Lily and Imogen come along to Kyra's regular sleepover with Mathilda and awkwardness ensues as the three try and hide their magic from Mathilda.
- Call-Back:
- Ruksy recalls that Kyra used remote magic to sends a message when she and Darra were trapped on the beach.
- Kyra remembers that she had touched the book entitled ''The Theory and Practice of Conjuring'' when she was "zapped" by Lily and Imogen.
- Kyra explains to Mathilda that Lily and Imogen attended the basketball game in "Shortcut".
- Darra and Ruksy remember when Orla visited the Library, and that she wanted to banish Kyra.
