Melinda's mental struggle causes her to seek out the normality of Emma's old life, while Edred, Seng, and Copernicus are embroiled in a citywide manhunt for Unicorn.
Tropes:
- Agent Scully: The chief inspector of Scotland Yard adamantly refuses to believe that Unicorn are actual legitimate practitioners of magic in spite of the overwhelming eye-witness testimony pointing to them doing the impossible, seeing them only as destructive charlatans.
- Ban on Magic: As a consequence of Emma/Melinda's destructive actions in the second episode, Scotland Yard issues an arrest warrant to anyone practicing magic, whether it be parlor tricks or legitimate spiritualism.
- Clark Kenting: Emma/Melinda tries to disguise herself as just Emma again by putting on a wig and a dress. It fails immediately because she didn't alter her face and she's on a warrant poster.
- Gas Leak Cover-Up: The Chief attempts to use this exact excuse for the zombie elephant attack in a desperate claim that magic doesn't exist; when nobody buys it, he blames a hoax by the many phony psychics of the Spiritualist movement instead.
- Good Is Not Nice: Melinda fights for the good of the world, but is also the harshest of the Unicorn warriors, which especially comes to light when she confronts Emma's soul. Rather than trying to properly explain the whole situation to the poor girl whose happy life just got turned upside down, she immediately demands control of their shared body for a seemingly incomprehensible reason, calls Emma egotistic and immature for resisting, and brushes off her terror of losing herself and her whole future as something that is simply necessary for Melinda to continue doing her job, not-so-subtly implying that Emma's individual life does not matter in the grand scheme of things. Of course, she won't cooperate without a fight after such treatment.
- Got Volunteered: Discussed. When Emma confronts Melinda's spirit and demands to know why she can't just use someone else as a host. Melinda insists that the choice of Emma as a host wasn't an accident, but must have happened for a reason, so she won't challenge that.
- Groin Attack: After Emma notices the living statues about to attack the group are... more 'anatomically correct' than needed, Edred decides to "chisel" said parts off while blocking Emma's view. The statues can't feel a thing, but they are clearly not happy about the deed.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Dervish, the Hindu psychic con artist who tried to scam Emma with his spirit exorcising scheme, got his comeuppance when he accidentally did help her establish a working connection with Melinda's soul, in the process getting scared out of his wits and having his whole venue completely wrecked.
- Not-So-Phony Psychic: Played with. Dervish is a con artist "psychic" who actually manages to connect Emma with Melinda, causing him to lament that he was more powerful than he thought, but it's implied it only worked because of the presence of Melinda's spirit.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Two spiritualists styling themselves after Melinda and Seng legitimately believe themselves to be reincarnation hosts in waiting to Unicorn due to them being direct descendants of previous incarnations. What they don't realize is that Unicorn's line of heroes isn't generational, which the chief inspector of Scotland Yard points out to them despite not believing their story in general.
