* PlotHole: In-universe, ''The Tale of the Seven Keys'' describes how the knight's daughter, Ora, inserts the seven keys into mouth-shaped keyholes which then swallow the keys, only to suddenly have them again so she can unlock the knight's chains. Eliot derides it as poor plotting, while Josh suggests it may be an intentional paradox that serves as a clue. Quentin sidesteps the issue by using a spell to contact Ora so she'll open a secret passage for them from the inside.
