Go To

Kyra becomes emboriled in a magical tug-of-war between a disobedient elf and a meticulous fairy. In doing so, she discovers a strange and magical world that exists all around her in secret.


  • Cliffhanger: The episode ends with a newly magic Kyra accidentally teleporting herself to somewhere very cold.
  • Establishing Character Moment
    • Darra is introduced by graciously giving up his seat to a grateful Kyra before jumping to the library and joining Imogen in teasing the fairies, establishing him as a cheeky elf who is destined to be Kyra's love interest.
    • Ruksy is introduced as she sets the record straight on fairies twice, establishing herself as the class bookroom.
  • Fantastic Racism: Downplayed. Elves Imogen and Darra playfully tease fairies Lily and Ruksy much like Dr. McCoy to Mr. Spock, which is ironic since they are the ones with pointed ears.
  • How We Got Here: The episode opens with Kyra waking up to find Lily the fairy in her bedroom before going back to earlier in the day.
  • Invisibility: It is very quickly established that magical beings can render themselves invisible to humans. That Kyra can see Lily after being hit by magic is a sign that she herself has become a magical being.
  • Playing with Fire: Professor Maxwell uses magic to project fire from a cute little rubber ducky in front of his students to make a point to "expect the unexpected".
