The Librarians S04E12 "And the Echoes of Memory" Recap


Nicole is revealed to have knocked out and kidnapped Flynn when he had chosen to stay with Baird and tether to the Library. In the present, Eve follows a lead Flynn left her on a TV ring. In this new alternate world, Eve tracks down Jake and brings him along to try to find the others, though he only remembers working in the Library as a sort of dream as opposed to remembering it as a true memory.

They track down Cassandra next working at a paper company and Eve finds she is struggling to remember the Library as vividly as when she entered this world. Finally they find Ezekiel working as a television host. Here he is the most famous person in the world. Eve continues to struggle with a rapid degeneration of her memory until she is confronted by Nicole, who puts her into a mental institution. While inside, she meets Flynn but the two don't remember one another.

Flynn is reprimanded for making trouble, which leads to Nicole punishing him with electroshock therapy to try to push him to forget his former life entirely. Meanwhile Jake and Cassandra recruit Ezekiel, who is convinced to join them due to his instincts and his otherwise inexplicable ability to know Cassandra's name despite her never having told it to him.

Eve tracks down Flynn and the two are able to reconnect their relationship as well as regain their memories. Nicole catches them and orders that they be lobotomized. Jake, Cassandra, and Ezekiel rescue Eve in time, and together they manage to rescue Flynn. They all run away while being pursued by Nicole and her minions but eventually find themselves trapped with no way out. Flynn instructs them on how to remanifest the Library, which restores the world but Jenkins is still dead.

Flynn uses an artifact and has Nicole help him with it so he can go back in time and right his wrong of never having gone back for Nicole. Flynn tells Nicole that she needs to stay in the past but convinces her to have adventures for the Library instead of going against it. As a result, she never became immortal. When Flynn returns to the present, time has been restored and none of the evil Nicole caused has taken place. Flynn and Eve are the only ones that remember the other world and are overjoyed to find that Jenkins is alive and immortal once more. They then decide to undergo the tethering ceremony as Librarian and Guardian.

The Librarians is available on streaming and on-demand platforms.

The Librarians S04E11 "And the Trial of the One" Recap


Loud bells begin to chime in the Library which indicates that the tethering needs to happen right away. Jenkins is able to get the bells to stop ringing for now but he tells them that the Library is beginning to untether from reality and the only way to stop it is to perform the tethering ceremony as soon as possible. The Librarians struggle to decide who will be the one to tether themselves since they do not take the decision to become immortal lightly.

Cassandra finds a spell, The Ritual of the One, and asks Stone to read it in the hopes that it will be able to decide which one of them is the best and in turn be the one to be tethered to the Library. They initially believe it didn't work but all of them are eventually brought to the Trial grounds, where the Library decrees a battle to the death that will leave only one Librarian alive. The Library has taken Jenkins captive and his life will be forfeited if the Librarians refuse to participate.

Cassandra, Stone, and Ezekiel are each transported to their worst nightmares. While in there, they encounter versions of their friends recast as enemies. They are pushed to forget one another and then emerge without memories of one another. Each Librarians is convinced that the only way to save Jenkins is to kill the others in order to be the first to hit a gold button. A violent battle ensues between the three of them until Eve intervenes and talks them down, convincing them not to murder one another.

Jenkins is freed but the Library still kills him. The Librarians are all outraged by this move so they all resign. With the Librarianship now vacant, Eve is devastated. Nicole Noone visits Eve and tells her that this was all part of her plan. Now that the Library has been abandoned by the Librarians and remains untethered, it fades out of reality and Eve is left alone in a washed-out alternate world.

The Librarians S04E10 "And Some Dude Named Jeff" Recap


Eve and the Librarians set off to leave he Library to go on yet another mission. When they call for Jenkins to open a door for them to teleport to their destination, none of them appear to notice that it is a random and simple man named Jeff. Some time later, the real Jenkins wakes at Jeff's residence and quickly determines that he and Jeff have switched bodies. Jenkins is berated by Jeff's mother, who wants him to perform his household chores, including feeding and tending to her many cats. Jenkins must catch a ride from Jeff's co-workers since Jeff's mother's car doesn't work.

Eve and the Librarians return to the Library and scold Jeff (as Jenkins) for not sending them to the precise location although they were able to solve their case regardless. Jenkins isn't able to get into the Library and when the team observes him on the security feed, they merely dismiss him as a crazy person. Jenkins returns to Jeff's home and with the help of Jeff's co-workers he discovers that Jeff had been an avid fan of the Librarians and even built a shrine to them. Jeff's co-workers are a group of techno-nerd and have been using the team names as Dungeon and Dragons characters. As Jenkins continues to talk to Jeff's co-workers, he determines that Jeff acquired a dangerous book which he used to switch bodies and recruits this group to help him work on getting back into the Library. They all believe him when he tells them the truth about who he is and how he ended up in Jeff's body. Jenkins trains the group and together they work on getting into the Library through a back door.

In the Library, the rest of the group grows increasingly suspicious of Jeff till he is forced to admit who he really is and how he was able to switch into the body of Jenkins. Jeff leads them to where he had left the book but they find that it has dissolved into slime, as it had been the prison of Asmodeus, Duke of Hell. Jeff using the book to switch bodies had weakened the spell binding him inside and now he is running amok in the Library searching for a particular gem he can use to full free himself.

Jenkins becomes discouraged but his new friends help him navigate through the various traps and challenges till they finally get all the way back into the Library. Jeff is saddened by the idea of having to go back to what he sees as a boring life but Jenkins advises him of the importance of returning to his body and that there is much to enjoy in life as a mortal. Together they realise that the gem Asmodeus is after isn't in the Library because Jeff had given it to his mother. They race back to Jeff's house and rescue Jeff's mother and defeat Asmodeus, who had already ran off after defeating the other Librarians.

After Jenkins and Jeff defeat Asmodeus, they find that they had switched back into their regular bodies. Jenkins decides to continue his friendship with the group and even becomes the Dungeon Master of Jeff's D&D group.

The Librarians S04E09 "And a Town Called Feud" Recap


Eve, Jacob, and Ezekiel head to a small town to investigate some strange happenings related to a local legend about two brothers that joined opposite sides of the Civil War and ended up killing one another. They decide that a locket split in half is at the heart of these happenings, and they must keep the two parts apart despite the fact that they're intended to be brought together in an upcoming ceremony. Recently, locals have been claiming to see ghosts of the Loveday brothers and other Civil War soldiers.

Cassandra and Jenkins decide to investigate the brother Librarians that Darrington claimed as proof that there can only be one Librarian at the time. Their falling out was said to be the cause of the Dark Ages but Cassandra and Jenkins hope to prove Darrington wrong.

Ezekiel is approached by a strange man who summons him to meet up later. Ezekiel brings Jacob with him and they learn that the man is a conspiracy theorist who believes the government is using the story of ghosts to cover up the fact that they're actually working with alien robots. The team later encounters ghosts of the soldiers who are chanting 'The brothers are rising' which prompts the team to guess that they need to steal the locket before the two halves can be joined the following morning.

Ezekiel and Jacob have become increasingly competitive with one another due to the nature of the case of feuding brothers. They return to the museum where the locket is being kept and find some old photographs in a safe that Ezekiel breaks into. They are caught by the museum curator who reveals that the locket has been moved to a secret location. Police arrive to arrest them for attempted robbery.

Cassandra opens up to Jenkins that she's worried that if there can truly only be one Librarian that she won't make the cut. But ideally she would rather the team stay together. Jenkins admits that he likes having them all around. Their investigation into the Librarian brothers' feud reveals that they truly did cause the Dark Ages because they had put their own personal egos ahead of their service to the Library.

At the ceremony, the two locket halves are joined together which causes the ghosts of the Loveday brothers to appear along with the other soldiers. Eve tells the museum curator to break the locket apart but she is unable to pull it apart. The ghosts possess the townsfolk while the ghosts of the brothers possess Ezekiel and Jacob who had been arguing over which of them could be the one to pull the locket apart. Eve finally manages to pull the locket apart but it doesn't end anyone's possessions. The re-enactment goes through and the townsfolk all fire but they all miss one another after which they're freed from their possession. The ghost brothers are revealed to have reconciled their differences before eventually dying in a bomb blast. The museum curator admits to have lied about the brotherly feud for her own interests in keeping the museum open. One brother had lost his son, which drove him away from wanting to fight in the war, while the other brother decided to turn away from the Confederate because he fell in love with a black woman.

The team returns to the Library where Cassie and Jenkins have now been convinced to believe Darrington's claim that there can only be one Librarian despite their earlier beliefs that the team could remain intact. Conversely, Jacob and Ezekiel are now supportive of the idea of there being multiple Librarians despite their earlier belief that there could only be one.

The Librarians S04E08 "And the Hidden Sanctuary" Recap


Cassandra is suffering from nightmares about her own mortality after a mission in Ecuador went badly. She decides to take a brief hiatus and visit Havenport, Ohio, as it's supposed to be the safest city in the US. She stays at a local home where she meets her landlady Carla and her son, Freddy. They used to live in the city but had moved in order to seek out a safer life.

Cassandra is shown around town where she meets some of the locals and observes how there aren't any traffic lights or stop signs. The town is also about to have a celebration of going 10,000 days without any sort of accident. It's eerily safe, with no accidents. Cassandra is nearly hit by a car but she manages to fall back and be caught by Councilman Weeks who has a flirtation going with Carla.

Cassandra decides to take up a job at the local library and gets a call from Jenkins who wants her to come back but refrains from pushing her into doing so. She mentions nearly getting hit by the car and Freddy overhears her. He asks her about how things are off in the town but she is determined to enjoy her hiatus and encourages Freddy to find the right book in the library that will offer him adventure and excitement.

Cassandra begins to enjoy making a life for herself in the town. She is helping Councilman Weeks put some posters up when he seemingly pricks his finger and becomes alarmed but pretends everything is fine and leaves Cassandra to finish her work. He passes by a small snow globe in a display case and says there is a problem, after which a crack appears in the glass.

Freddy approaches Cassandra again, pushing her to understand that people should be asking questions about why things are so seemingly perfect. He shows her a secret room he has in which he has compiled all kinds of research into the town's history and their records which reveal that the town defies all kinds of statistics. She begins to grow suspicious until she finally realises the truth of his statements by lighting a bunsen burner and sticking his arm into the flame. He isn't injured at all so she runs off trying to figure out what's going on and maintain her happy, safe life.

Ben follows Cassandra to the town square where they observe a strange series of accidents triggering one after another. Whatever was protecting the town from being hurt is seemingly no longer working. The residents gather for a town meeting in which they express their concerns to Councilman Weeks who still wants to have the festival even though the record won't be broken.

Cassandra decides to try to solve the case of what has happened to cause the town to be so safe and consequently no longer. But the various town members becomes suspicious of Cassandra as a newcomer and begin to blame her for the town no longer being a safe neighborhood. She tries to get her bag and leave but the connection is bad in trying to call Jenkins to summon a door out of the town. Freddy offers to help Cassandra and reveals that photos from the town all have a particular lens flare that Cassandra recognises as a fairy.

Cassandra and Ben read up on fairy mythology and determine a course of action to try to find the fairy. They lure it out by trying to drop a book on Cassandra's head and throwing up iron shavings that will slow the fairy down because it's allergic. They follow after the fairy only for Councilman Weeks to arrive and snatch the fairy up with the snow globe. He reveals how he was lost in the woods as a child and found a fairy stuck. She granted him a wish as thanks and he wished that no one would get hurt anymore. Ever since then she's been protecting the town. Now Weeks blames Cassandra, who determines that by using the magical portal to come in, she punctured the magical barrier. He chases after Cassandra and Freddy, who run outside and are confronted with the entire town.

Freddy has taken the snow globe and smashes it to free the fairy. She is angry about being forced to serve humans for 27 years and begins to shoot fire beams from her eyes to get revenge. Everyone escapes into the local town hall where everyone has now shifted the blame onto Weeks. Freddy steps up to defend him, saying that they're all to blame for not seeking the truth out despite it being clear that something was wrong in the town.

The townsfolk all cry out for Cassandra to help, causing her to flashback to the failed mission in Ecuador. She then has a vision of Jenkins asking her what she wants to be and she declares that she wants to be a Librarian. She determines that they must lure the fairy into the gazebo since it's made of iron and is the only thing large enough to trap her. Weeks volunteers himself to be the bait. Through a series of coordinated lures, the townsfolk are able to get the fairy to go after Weeks and get trapped in the gazebo.

Cassandra implores the fairy to understand that Weeks was just a scared little boy trying to protect a scared town. The fairy won't be deterred from her vengeance quest but Cassandra reminds her that she owes Freddy a wish for freeing her. He wishes for the fairy to know what it's like to feel fear. This is what convinces the fairy to return to her natural size and be free to go on without harming the town.

Havenport begins to re-implement the necessary safety measures of a typical town. Cassandra says goodbye to Freddy and Carla, implying that Freddy will one day be invited to become a Librarian. Cassandra also encourages Carla to give Weeks another chance, and is told that she'll always be welcome to visit the town again. Jenkins comes to pick Cassandra up and bring her back to the Library.

The Librarians S03E07 "And the Disenchanted Forest" Recap


Eve informs the other Librarians of Flynn's resignation and departure from the Library, stemming from Darrington's concerns that having more than one Librarian will lead to a Civil War. The Librarians ponder whether Flynn now hopes and expects two more of them to resign. Eve decides that the best course of action is to bring the Librarians to a team-building camp, having spotted it from the clippings book but also wanting the team to come back together again.

At the camp, Jacob develops an attraction to one of the counsellors. The Librarians take part in the various team-building exercises while learning that various campers have been disappearing under mysterious circumstances. The camp organizer simply calls them quitters with no further explanation.

Jacob and the counselor he's interested in go searching through the forest, while Eve follows a lead that sends her into a cabin. A man named Tannon sends her away, having already heard of her as the unachievable standard in his own profession and doesn't want her winning the competitive aspect of the camp.

Jacob's counselor is smitten by his charms and his admitting to believing in magic so she reveals to him that she is actually a reporter who was fired for writing about the Library. She thinks that these strange happenings will lead to the Library and vindicate her professionally so she could get her job back. She runs off when he takes too long to respond to her and his hand gets pricked on a tree. He finds footage from a Gopro belonging to another camper that is shown to have been yanked away by some live vines and branches. Ezekiel and Cassandra discover a mysterious suitcase in the lake that they believe is related to the case.

Cassandra and Ezekiel distract the team organiser, Mr. Bender, while Eve and Jake search through his cabin to try to find more information regarding the disappearances. Jake becomes disoriented by the sounds he has been hearing on and off since his hand was priced in the woods. Jake and Eve argue about her aggression in pushing the team to come together but Jake determines that she is just trying to fill the void that Flynn left behind when he quit without even saying goodbye. In her moment of passionate outburst, she knocks over a file that holds all the information not he missing campers and sets off to find Ezekiel and Cassandra while Jake goes to talk to his counselor. Jake apologises for earlier and tries to tell her the truth about his connection to the Library but collapses due to the sounds he's been hearing. Vines emerge and yank him into the woods.

She tells Eve, Cassandra, and Ezekiel about Jake being pulled in by vines. Jenkins tells them that this is the Devil's Forest and people have been disappearing there for at least the last century. They consider that Bender might be an immortal stealing souls to extend his own lifeform. Native Americans had believed that there was a Grandfather Tree from which all the world's forests originate. Eve and the Librarians confront Bender who admits he has been hiding the disappearances but doesn't know what's going on.

Eve and the Librarians finally track down the Grandfather Tree and find Jake's image in the tree. Some team members try to destroy the tree but then Jake's face speaks to tell them not to cut the tree down. Jake is being used as a translator for the Grandfather Tree and Jake was the perfect person for this since he's a linguist that speaks over 64 dialects. They give the Librarians a golden acorn that can be used to rebuild the forest if it is ever destroyed. Eve promises to protect it, after which Jake and all the other campers and people taken over the years are released from the trees. Jake brings his counselor to the Library to assure her she was right and reveals he is a Librarian. He sadly tells her he can't be with her since his destiny is with the Library.

The Librarians S04E06 "And the Graves of Time" Recap


Russian henchmen raid one of Nicole Noone's old grave to retrieve a mysterious key.

Flynn wants to find answers about whether Darrington is right about multiple Librarians being a risk for Civil War. The Equinox is 41 days away and it's then that Flynn and Eve will need to tether themselves to the Library or there will be dire consequences. Everyone back at the Library is searching for Eve, who has left for England to track down Nicole Noone to learn why she doesn't want to stay with the Library.

Eve and Nicole must work together when some more of the Russian henchmen raid another one of Nicole's old graves. A fight breaks out and the urn is shattered, revealing another key. The men get away with the key while Eve and Nicole are arguing over who has the better fighting/Guardian style and approach. Nicole reveals that she has been hiding artifacts in her old graves. The keys lead to Koschei's Needle, a powerful artifact for war that can destroy a nation or an immortal. Nicole wants Eve to leave but agrees to let her help when Eve threatens to call the rest of the Librarians.

Ezekiel hacks Eve's credit card history and learns that Eve went to England to track down Nicole. Flynn and Jenkins set off to find them while the other three Librarians will stay behind and look after the Library. Eve and Nicole head to another one of her many graves that she has been creating every twenty years to fake her death and start all over. Eve is sympathetic to Nicole having to say goodbye to so many people. Eve is shaken by the revelation of how heavy a burden the immortality from tethering oneself to the Library is.

Flynn and Jenkins discover that Eve and Nicole are after the needle and argue over their disagreement regarding Nicole's former imprisonment. Meanwhile Eve admits to Nicole that she is afraid of being alone and end up like her. They continue on their journey and come across Flynn and Jenkins who had tracked them down. Flynn has managed to triangulate the location of the needle and Jenkins is upset that Flynn and Eve trust Nicole. Jenkins believes that Nicole wants to use the needle to kill him but the argument is interrupted by gunfire.

The group must run away from Ukrainian military that are chasing after them. Eve and Jenkins end up captured by the men that have been hunting down the artifacts in Nicole's graves, while Flynn and Nicole remain free. The man in charge is receptive to working with them once Jenkins says that they are not in league with Nicole. The man claims that Nicole destroyed his family. Flynn and Nicole find the group and watch from afar, hidden in the trees. Nicole recognises the man in charge and appears fearful before telling Flynn they need to continue on their mission. Flynn reluctantly agrees to go with Nicole when she tells him he should trust Eve to be able to take care of herself and get out free.

The man in charge tells Eve and Jenkins that he is a descendant of the Romanovs. Their family was corrupted by Rasputin and Nicole was acting as his accomplice. Eve believes in the goodness in Nicole but Jenkins is more inclined to believe the man. Eve is shaken when the man shows her photos of Nicole with Rasputin a century ago.

Nicole tells Flynn they have both become prisoners of the Library and he's the only one that can't see it. They continue on their journey and reach the location of the needle. They must decode the riddle to find where in the area it is hidden. Flynn cracks the code and unlocks the security measurements, triggering a mechanism to pull the hidden chest out of the water.

Jenkins and Eve track Nicole and Flynn down while accompanied with the man and his henchmen. Nicole tells them that the man in charge is actually Rasputin and he used dark magic to stay alive. She knows this because she had infiltrated his organisation. Jenkins is pondering whether Nicole is telling the truth when Rasputin grabs the needle and stabs Nicole with it to restore his youth. Rasputin's henchmen run away, not having realised the magnitude of what they were getting involved with.

The group runs away from Rasputin and Eve chides herself for letting Nicole down. Flynn had installed a radiation detector on his phone and he decides to run toward it. Rasputin sends Flynn flying off but Eve uses her strength to force Rasputin to stab a pipe full of radiation with the needle which results in his death. Nicole is brought back to the Library where Jenkins has a ritual performed to give his own immortality over to Nicole to save her life.

Nicole thanks Jenkins profusely and leaves the Library, though not before advising him to not be a prisoner. Later, Eve meets with Jenkins who informs her that Flynn has left behind his tethering ring and taken his belongings. He has resigned from the Library.

The Librarians S04E05 "And the Bleeding Crown" Recap


An entire small town wakes up to find they are senior citizens. The Librarians are called in to investigate the strange happenings. Flynn and Eve visit the family that were recorded as being the first to turn old and find out they saw a red flash of light similar to a light bulb popping before they turned. The other Librarians spot a young woman that hasn't changed and chase after her when she takes off running. They call Eve to let her know what they've found. The Librarians follow her into a warehouse and end up surrounded by masked individuals wearing sacks on their head. A man comes swinging down on a rope and introduces himself as Darrington Dare, an old Librarian from the 1880's.

When Eve and Flynn arrive, Flynn is overcome with excitement to meet Darrington as he's a fan of his work. They leave the warehouse and decide to team up with one another to solve this case. While regrouping at a diner, Darrington reveals to the group that his nemesis Ambrose Gethik is behind the strange happening. Ambrose stole the Bleeding Crown from the vampire queen of Northampton. It is an old artifact that has the power to drain a man's life force and Ambrose used it to kill Darrington's man-servant before opening a portal to the future. Darrington followed Ambrose into the future but the difference in time of their entering the portal means that Ambrose has been here for months and Darrington arrived a few hours ago.

Ambrose has been creating powerful clones of himself but there is a problem with the technology to do so. Thus, all the clones have a rapid degeneration of their skin which is why they all wear sacks over their head. Flynn knows that Darrington is nearing his death-date which is tomorrow but they're not permitted to warn him because it's against the rules.

Flynn and Darrington head out to investigate and Darrington is shocked to learn that the other trio are also Librarians. Darrington is adamant that there can only be one library at a a time but the conversation is interrupted when they spot the same young woman the trio had pursued earlier before she disappeared. They follow her to a house in the woods where the young woman is living with her parents who also haven't aged. They have been hiding out because they became concerned that the aging might be contagious condition. What Darrington and Flynn determine is that the family has remained unharmed because they haven't been able to pay their electric bills. Electricity is a key component to the aging problem.

Eve and the trio follow their own investigation and come across a box with Artemis' initials on it. They are surrounded by the clones with sacks on their head. A red light flashes and then they are turned into senior citizens. Flynn and Darrington exit the house of the only non-turned-old family to discover their old colleagues. Flynn brings them all back to the Library where Jenkins is shocked to see what has happened to them. Darrington also confronts Jenkins about there being four Librarians in the modern day.

Darrington has Jenkins get out the Book of Librarians which Flynn has studied extensively. There are some pages ripped out of it and Darrington recites a magical incantation to restore them. It tells about how there were two Librarians once before and the rift between the brothers was what led to the Dark Ages. Darrington warns him of the risks of any doubts or fissures among the Librarians.

Flynn and Darrington leave to confront Ambrose while the Eve and the trio seemingly stay asleep at the Library. Ambrose reveals that Eve and trio at the Library are merely clones of the real Eve and trio. The only reason he turned the town old was to disguise where he had kept the real ones the entire time. Jenkins must fight off the old clones while Flynn and Darrington must free Eve and the trio before Ambrose harvests the Library-energy infused in them to try to kill Darlington. Ambrose has his clones lock Flynn in another chamber and the Library-energy beings to be pulled from the individuals. Flynn is pushing to keep the door of his chamber open and Darrington tosses him a device to scare off the clones.

Darrington and Ambrose must engage in sword fight, with Ambrose still wearing the Bleeding Crown. He is using a sword with a blade composed entirely of Library-energy. Flynn grabs a sword of his own to help Darrington fight Ambrose. The fight carries on and Flynn wants to go free the others but Darrington says they can be sacrificed and the Library will understand. He berates Darrington and Ambrose for caring more about fighting than their own good/evil causes. Flynn leaves them to their fighting and goes back to try to destroy the console draining his friends of Library energy.

Flynn returns to the Library and saves Jenkins, who has been tied up by the clones. He uses Darrington's device to scare off the clowns and brings Jenkins back through the door. Ambrose is about to kill Darrington, who finally realises Flynn was right in pointing out he has been blinded by his hate. When Darrington spots Flynn, he seems him signal to stall. Darrington being to talk to Ambrose, encouraging him to reminisce about their fights over the years. Flynn loads Jenkins into one of the machines and overloads the Bleeding Crown which destroys Ambrose and saves Darrington.

Darrington thanks Flynn for saving him and Flynn reminds him that he was able to save him because he saved his friends. Flynn encourages Darrington to find friends and wishes him to have a happy birthday the following day, all the while knowing history has shown it's his death-date. But after he goes through, the history book shifts and shows that he reconnected with his friends who were with him on his birthday and able to help him fight off his foe. As a result, he lived 62 years longer than he originally had and lived a life without regrets. Flynn later discovers a letter in the book from Darrington that says he never stopped thinking about Flynn and despite his gratitude to Flynn, he is still adamant that there should only ever be one Librarian in the Library. His dying wish is that Flynn will put things right before it's too late.

The Librarians S04E04 "And the Silver Screen" Recap


Eve and Flynn go out to see her favourite Film Noir at a local cinema. Eve pushes him to put aside all of their normal responsibilities to have a night of being normal. During a scene in the film where there is a knocking at the door, Eve and Flynn disappear in a flash of light. The other Librarians try to retrace their steps to find where they've disappeared to by checking out the cinema they were last seen at. A worker at the cinema shows them the film the duo had seen and how Eve and Flynn are now trapped in the film in place of the lead characters. They are crying out for help but can't hear the people out in the real world calling out to them.

Cassandra determines that the cinema lies in a lay-lake that collects magical energy which has contributed to the screen becoming a magical artifact that sucked Eve and Flynn in. The only way to get them out is to get the film to end in the way that it was intended. Eve also figures this out and encourages Flynn to go through the motions of finishing the film. Eve is a super-fan of the film so she knows exactly what has transpired in it and in what order.

First, Eve must dig a bullet out of Flynn's arm and then pour them drinks. Madeline Kincaid arrives and needs Flynn's help to retrieve a stolen ruby necklace by a gangster, Tony the Shaz. The Librarians and Jenkins determine a way to try to call the office in the film but Jenkins is unable to reach them. When he comes back to the main area, he finds the other Librarians have disappeared to try to go after Eve and Flynn help them. Unfortunately, they end up in a different Western film instead. Jake and Ezekiel are about to be hanged until Cassandra begins to shoot up the other men trying to execute them. Jake later sings a song around a campfire, while Eve and Flynn follow the plot to confront Tony the Shaz.

Jake, Cassandra, and Ezekiel end up transported to a science-fiction film in space while Jenkins works with the daughter of the film's writer to determine that his typewriter is the artifact. They also find out that the credited writer didn't actually write the film and changed its original ending. When Eve and Flynn reach the end, they end up right back to the beginning. Jenkins is able to call again and relay the information. They must use their Librarian savvy to figure out the original ending to be able to get free from the film. In the film, Madeline Kincaid had been the plot-twist-villain. Instead of letting it play out till the end, when Madeline first visits they confront her about being involved with Tony the Shaz. The original ending saw Madeline as the heroine trying to get her daughter back that Tony was keeping captive as punishment for Madeline leaving.

Eve and Flynn play the movie out in a nearly identical fashion but this time when they reach the end, Madeline emerges as the heroine trying to get her daughter back. However, the entire scene is interrupted by Jake, Cassandra, and Ezekiel crashing into the scene through their magical transportation device and fighting off Tony the Shay's goons. Eve and Flynn escort Madeline down to reunite with her daughter.

The film writer's daughter learns that an older woman named Eleanor that had come to see the film play is actually her mother and the original writer of the film. Though she had been separated from her daughter, she never stopped loving her. All the Librarians get free from the films.

Ezekiel has to do some acrobatic tricks to beat a moving laser security measurement. Once he gets to the other side, he disarms it and his mother comes in with him to put the painting back. However, another security measure is triggered, causing Ezekiel and Lenore to be captured.

The Saint of Thieves emerges and when Lenore tries to flirt with him, she reveals Ezekiel's name and the two are taken into the Saint's office. Lenore is shocked to learn that Ezekiel is considered the world's greatest thief. The Saint uses some magical power to force Lenore to reveal the truth, including her use of the magic door and that Santa's sleigh is vulnerable to being stolen. The Saint wants to destroy the sleigh, and Santa is revealed to be his brother.

The Saint's men find the sleigh and bring it to the Bank, where Cassandra and Jake have stayed hidden. They call Jenkins for help on how to repair the door, as it has overheated, and ask him to not tell Eve or Flynn.

Lenore is angry at Ezekiel for not telling her he was a world-class thief, and Ezekiel is angry at her for not having listened to him when he would tell her of what he had done. The Saint demands that the sleigh be stolen and gifted to him, as he can't accept a gift that isn't stolen. Ezekiel refuses to give over the sleigh but Lenore steals the key off of him and gives the Saint the sleigh.

Lenore and Ezekiel are left tied up and argue further, and Ezekiel reveals that despite the large amount of wealth he accumulated as a thief he never kept any of it for himself. He always used the money from his scores to give back to people in need. He finally seemingly mends his relationship with his mother.

Cassandra uses a magical device to appear to Ezekiel's sisters and tricks them into believing she is a ghost. She gives them instructions on how to repair the magic door, as the orb that controls it is still in their home. Jake fights some guards at the the Bank that are monitoring the sleigh. Ezekiel and Lenore get to the sleigh too. The magic door opens but the Saint and his men block their access to the door. Jenkins emerges from the door and gives the Saint a note and a card from Santa, who gifts his brother the sleigh. The Saint can't accept gifts that aren't stolen so he is no longer able to accept the sleigh now or ever. Christmas is saved and the Saint reverts back to a child throwing a tantrum.

As there are still numerous stolen gifts to return, Ezekiel decides to bring his mother with him on the sleigh to bring them all back.

The Librarians S04E02 "And the Steal of Fortune" Recap


Gamblers at the Fortune Downs casino and racetrack are having a supernaturally large amount of bad luck, which the Librarians don't know about since they're looking for a new way to detect when new magic manifests. Jake brings Ezekiel to the Fortune Downs racetrack to enjoy some down-time, as Jake has an old friend named Slayton who works there with the horses. Slayton tells about how he had had really bad luck but believes his fortune is about to change. The conversation is interrupted by a crime boss named Bennie and his goons and girl that arrive to take Slayton's favourite horse away.

Slayton has to go to the hospital when a mix of chemicals from regular items combines badly with a bee sting to create an allergic reaction. While at the hospital, Jake and Ezekiel observe a considerable number of other patients that have all been injured due to bad luck and all are connected to the Fortune Downs casino and racetrack. They gather the rest of the team and head back to find the magical source.

Cassandra gets sucked in by the allure of gambling, as her superior intellect should allow her to do well but ends up losing a considerable amount of money due to the magical forces at work that defy all the odds that she has calculated. Jake and Eve decide to investigate Bennie when they learn he is the owner of the casino. They determine he is stealing luck but they need to figure out how. Jake hypothesises that Bennie's pinky ring is the magical artifact. Bennie becomes alarmed when Cassandra is able to turn her losing streak around by ignoring the odds and instead calculating the trajectory of the roulette ball, as her luck should've been depleted. Ezekiel gets sucked into playing on a machine but eventually manages to beat it by hacking the machine.

Ezekiel manages to swipe Bennie's ring. The team consults with Flynn and Jenkins to discuss the ring and they find that the design on it shows Fortuna, the Roman goddess of Fortune. Cassandra continues to win out in the casino and Bennie orders his men to find his ring and apprehend Cassandra. The rest of the team follows the men that have taken Cassandra to a back room. Bennie attempts to interrogate her for answers on how she was able to keep winning. Cassandra says it was only mathematics she used to figure out how she won. Eve, Ezekiel, and Jake watch the scene from above the room in the vents. Cassandra closely observes Bennie's micro expressions and deduces that he's not a tough guy. Bennie's girlfriend reveals herself to be the one in charge as she's the goddess Fortuna. Fortuna wants to know which god sent Cassandra, and she claims it was Saturn. Fortuna is slowly turning back into a statue, as three of her fingers have already turned back into metal.

Eve, Ezekiel, and Jake determine that Fortuna blowing kisses on the casino's commercials are amplified by the electromagnetic waves of the technology. This is what has allowed her to steal the luck of those that watch the commercials. The trio pursue the guards that have taken Cassandra. Eve and Jake have been infected with bad luck but Ezekiel is immune somehow. Despite the difficulties with the bad-luck-impediment, the trio are able to overpower the guards and free Cassandra.

The team realises that Fortuna plans to blow a kiss on a live television broadcast, the ramifications of which could cause death and destruction to countless innocent victims. Fortuna threatens and assaults Bennie, ordering him to continue to do her bidding.

Jenkins and Flynn call the team and tell them how Jupiter betrayed Fortuna when realizing that she planned to rule the world by luck. Then she was cursed to one exist in the world as a statue. The team is nearly apprehended by a large group of bikers that are trying to hunt them down after a $100,000 reward was offered for the team to be apprehended. Bennie pops up and rescues the team and brings them to his office, where he asks them for help in overthrowing Fortuna. He was just a man with a gambling problem and through Fortuna's help, he began to win enough to own the casino.

There's no easy way to disable the cameras. Bennie reveals that his facial injury was caused by Fortuna hitting him with her bronze hand. She began to turn back into bronze when Cassandra started winning. They realise that the only way to stop Fortuna is to win in the casino, as it steals back the luck. The team works together to cheat and sabotage the system in a coordinated attack. Fortuna tries to get one of her hired goons to turn the camera on her but by then everyone in the casino and racetrack has won, forcing Fortuna back into a bronze statue.

The statue of Fortuna is brought back to the Library. Jake visits Slayton again, who has had his horse returned and his luck has also returned to normal. Without giving anything specific away, he lets Slayton know that he was involved in getting everything back to him as a form of payback for his friend.

The Librarians S04E01 "And the Dark Secret" Recap



A group of priests are hunting down the four cornerstones of the Library of Alexandria, not caring if they have to kill in order to accomplish their goal. They find the first in a church and the second in a barrel displays at a park.

The Librarians are rehearsing a ceremony that will bond Flynn and Eve to one another as well as tether them to the Library. The ritual is important to ensure the safety and lasting power of the Library. The Librarians get word about the cornerstones being taken so Ezekiel, Jacob, and Cassandra set out to the park. Ezekiel swipes a memory card from a tourist photographer and finds images of the priests on it. They must find the other cornerstones or else the Library can be destroyed forever.

Back at the Library, Nicole Noone is found. Nicole was Flynn's original guardian and has been locked up in a secret part of the library for hundreds of years. She is immortal and was formerly romantically involved with Flynn. She is the one that hid the cornerstones and Flynn had long believed her to be dead. She will talk but only to Flynn.

The group regathers at the Library while Flynn speaks to Nicole. Jenkins tells the others that the heretic Order of Shadows are responsible for what's going on, when he recognises the design of flames in their cross. They want to destroy the Library so that they will destroy all the knowledge and enlightenment it brings to the world.

Jacob determines that Nicole came up with a pneumonic device related to the muses that allowed her to remember where she hid the cornerstones. This allows the team to figure out where the final cornerstones are hidden. Jacob, Ezekiel, and Cassandra head to the Paris opera house. Cassandra calculates that the three of them need to sing a High C to shatter the crystal that has blocked off the cornerstone. They retrieve it and the priests emerge to try to capture it for themselves. A chase ensues while some opera singers rehearse. The trio is caught and brought into a car where they meet the leader of the Order of Shadows, Monsignor Vega (John Noble).

Eve demands that Nicole be released so she can take them to the final cornerstone. They head to a lake with Flynn and are met with considerable amounts of lightening shooting off. Nicole won't got into the field to retrieve it herself due to the lightening that keeps shooting into the ground. Flynn shoots mineral samples into the air to maneuver the lightening away so Eve can reach the stone. Once she gets there, the other two follow and retrieve it together. They are distracted by the sound of Cassandra screaming. When they all run into the barn they find the Order of Shadows and the other three Librarians. With all four cornerstones, they're able to start the ritual to try to destroy the Library.

The Librarians begin to fight the Order. Nicole uses one of the cornerstones to distract Monsignor Vega and throws it into the centre of the vortex created. Without the power from the fourth stone, the vortex is at risk of collapsing. Monsignor Vega has been sucked in and Nicole by accident. Flynn insists on jumping in after her. Cassandra figures out how the Librarians and Eve can boost the signal and they all work together to keep it open long enough for Flynn to retrieve Nicole and the Library is saved.

Eve calls in a favour to have the members of the Order arrested. Nicole runs off while the Librarians and Eve are celebrating. Nicole only stopped the plan to destroy the Library because she wanted to save Flynn. The team contemplates whether Nicole will pose a threat to them and the Library's safety in the future before resuming rehearsals for the ceremony that they only have three months to perfect before the vernal equinox on which it must take place. Flynn admits to Eve that he is worried about the ethical issues with Nicole's captivity but she assures him that an institution is only as good as those that run it and together they can make it something upstanding. Finally, Flynn finds a book left for him by Nicole that holds a picture of the two of them from younger days.

The Librarians S1E10 (S1 Finale) - "And the Loom of Fate" Recap


Flynn returns with a plan to get the main Library back using various artefacts the team has obtained in previous missions. They begin by using the storybook to try to bring to life a story in which they can get the door back. Unfortunately, Dulaque arrives to completely flip their plan on its head. He uses the door to go back and access the "Loom of Fate," and try to reverse the historical fall of Camelot. Flynn and Eve had followed him but were unable to stop him in time.

Eve is thrown into various realities where Jake, Ezekiel, and Cassandra became the Librarian instead of Flynn. First she encounters Librarian-Jake who had been involved with Eve, who had died in this universe and in turn had been involved with Jake (so he greets his not-dead Guardian with a kiss). Librarian-Jake had been unsuccessful in trying to keep the evils of magic contained, so he tries to send Eve and Flynn back to the correct universe but instead they meet Librarian-Ezekiel. Eve had also died in this universe, while Flynn is just amazed that they were transported because he had never become a Librarian. In this universe, the encounter with the house that granted wishes went wrong when Ezekiel tried to take the killer down. Now the outside world is full of ghosts. The team bands together and is able to de-ghost everyone but afterwards, Eve and Flynn find themselves transported to the next version of reality.

Here in this universe, Cassandra is a powerful sorceress. Eve had also died in this universe. The reason why they're jumping universes is because Dulaque cut the thread without re-weaving it so now they're jumping from thread to thread. History will continue to unravel until all is undone. Together, they formulate a plan to re-weave the threads together, using Cassandra's magic to help them combine their abilities and re-access the Loom. All of the Librarians are pulled into one universe and they join hands.

Eve and Flynn are transported back to the Loom where they meet a young and restored Dlaque/Lancelot who attacks them with a sword. He stabs Eve in the chest and then Flynn tried to fight him with a sword. It's then that Jenkins/Galahad shows up, sword in hand, to hold Dulaque off while Flynn restrings the Loom with thread from the Labyrinth. The three of them return to their original reality and are able to access the Library. Flynn is elated to be back where he belongs while the potentials are holding a dying Eve. Flynn accesses a healing tonic which he uses to save Eve.

Each of the young Librarians are given their own versions of the clipping book, though they decide to team up for their first independent mission. Flynn asks Eve out on their first date, on which they take the magic door to embark on an adventure.

The Librarians S1E9 - "And the City of Light" Recap


The Librarians must visit a small town in upstate New York where a UFO researcher has gone missing.  Jake strikes up a flirtation with a woman named Mabel. Ezekiel and Eve go looking for clues in the woods when they come across Victor Finch, the missing man, who is exhibiting strange behaviour. Eve disappears apparently because of a strange lamppost in the middle of the woods. Jake visits Mabel again to get more information and the two continue their flirtation before Jake brings her out into the woods where the rest of the team is waiting. They get a flash of Eve when Jenkins touches the lamp and Mabel wants to know the truth but Jake implores her to go back to the archives and dig up anything she can on the gas lamps with the promise that he will share more information with her at a later time.

Ezekiel and Cassandra find Colonel Baird again though she's on whatever plain she's currently on. Ezekiel is tasked with following her since he's wearing a pair of goggles that can allow him to see these other people. As for Jake, he realises that Mabel knows more than she's letting on. The team begins to be able to put everything together. The town was built but Nikola Tesla who performed an experiment that led to the town citizens to be trapped in an adjacent dimension, from which they can take over the bodies of others. Cassandra finds a 1915 photograph that has Mabel in it. As it turns out, she was present at the experiment but in the control room which is why she is more stable compared to everyone else.

Tesla had been working on a project to free the townspeople and the Librarians have no other option but to help the experiment come to fruition. Since Eve is still trapped, there's no other way to try to get her back. Since Eve was the last one in, she should be the first one out. Since the experiment had a 50/50 chance of causing mass destruction, they have to abort the experiment. Doing so results in Mabel's death but they're able to get Eve back. It will take another 100 years to try the experiment again but rescuing the townspeople gets added to the Library's to-do list. So long as a new capacitor gets built in time, they'll be able to try again, or whoever is the Librarian at the time can anyway.

The Librarians airs on Sundays on TNT at 8PM.

The Librarians S1E8 - "And the Heart of Darkness" Recap


The Librarians are inspecting ley lines in Slovakia when they come across an American teenage girl named Kate who is covered in blood and claiming that her three friends are in danger at a nearby house that they had been staying in. Eve takes Jake and Ezekiel to check the house and leaves Cassandra to look after Katie. When they go inside the house, strange things begin happening and a knife goes flying through their hair. They run outside and then watch blue electricity run through the house. They then go back inside to clear the rooms, this time with both Cassandra and Katie joining them.

More strange happenings are going on and they determine that perhaps crossing ley lines in the house may be a reason for it. Eve calls up Jenkins who shares the story of vapours magical houses that move from place to place. Some are benign and some are evil. The house makes evil noises and projects various images including a huge shadowy figure. Cassandra is ordered to take Katie to the Annex to keep her safe while the rest will stay behind and take on the house. But just as they are about to leave, a shadowy figure that Katie had previously described smashes up the car, preventing them from leaving.

Ezekiel had disappeared and when Jake does too, he finds that he has been sucked into a small model of the house where Ezekiel has been trapped since he disappeared. Ezekiel is enjoying the down time as he is able to wish for things and then they're granted. He now has a video game console to pass the time and snacks. Jake begins to piece some things together based off of photos on the wall. Eve continues to battle the smokey hooded figure and tells Cassandra and Katie to run. Outside, Katie exhibits strange behaviour. She's confused by where they are and then reveals herself to be the true evil. Cassandra realises that Katie is a serial killer who has been killing the various people that come to the house. Cassandra runs back inside and sees Eve's unconscious body getting dragged upstairs while Katie is following her back into the house.

Katie reveals that she was part of a family of serial killers. When they came across the house, Katie could hear the house whispering and offering her help. Cassandra begins to piece some things together and wishes to be able to communicate with the house which she begins to be able to do. She determines that the house was happy until Katie and her family came. Cassandra notices that Katie is in the background of many photos of the other residents that Katie killed. The house doesn't want to help Katie but it has to grant the wishes of those within it and Katie has been working the house for some time now.

Cassandra has a showdown with Katie and defeat her, after which she passes out. When she wakes, she finds a thank you note from the house. Now Eve is also trapped in the small house until they are freed. They meet the spirit of the house which is no longer a menacing, hooded figure, but someone that looks very much like a kindly butler ready to help those in need. It wishes them well and then they all drive away. Seemingly, the house will now be better prepared to not fall into the hands of a serial killer again.

The Librarians airs on Sundays on TNT at 8PM.

The Librarians S1E7 - "And the Rule of Three" Recap


The Librarians are enjoying a day off until the Clippings Book starts acting up, meaning it's time to go back to work. They must head to Chicago STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) to investigate and find themselves mistaken by the fair's sponsor, Lucinda McCabe, as county librarians judging the competition. Only Cassandra can follow the science speak the various contestants are spouting. Many are quite impressive, save for a lone baking soda volcano that only excites Eve. She encourages him to give it a go and when he sets it off, the volcano spouts real fire and magma. There's the magic they've been searching for!

The team must continue to find the magic lurking among the science experiments. Ezekiel discovers a small Newton's cradle acting strange, even injuring nearby fair participants. Jenkins, who has decided to leave the Annex, says that magic is ending the laws of physics locally so they must now find a coven of magic users that will likely be a group of three. Cassandra immediately suspects some goths that were making trouble and picking on some of the science geeks earlier. As it turns out, one of the goths Dashiell is more so focused on getting a date with one of the fair participants Amy Meyer and the other two are just trying to help.

Cassandra then hones in Amy, whose mother has been quite overbearing and insistent that Amy be victorious in the contest. Yet another freak "accident" happens where a swarm of insects comes flying out of a student's mouth. When Lucinda McCabe notes in passing that it's like there's curse, Jenkins has a revelation. Someone has cursed the fair participants to lose but Jenkins further explain that according to The Rule of Three, the curse will receive the karmic debt three-fold because of the malicious intent. It will likely be fatal. Jenkins whips up a device that will be able to hone in on the curse's magic focus.

Now the Librarians must first narrow their group of suspects down. Jake questions Dashiell, the Goth who got turned down. He offers up some nice advice about the cliques and personae people take on in high school just being costumes. In turn, Dashiell offers up the scoop on the personal drama going on in this group. One common theme is that Amy is the frontrunner and it's rubbed some people the wrong way. Ezekiel uses Jenkins' device and finds that the magic is coming from Amy's mobile phone. They steal it and find a wish fulfilment spell disguised as a brain-trainer app.

When they look at the data, they determine that Amy isn't the one using the app so they must continue their hunt. Cassandra is able to pull Amy aside, who says that her mother downloaded the app from a proactive parents' website. Amy's wishes are more about being normal whereas her mother's are the ones that are about Amy being smart. They share a moment of bonding in which they relate about their parents wanting more for them than they wanted for themselves.

Lucinda McCabe accidentally walks into the Annex and Jenkins recognises her. He calls Eve and insists that she come back immediately. Jenkins explains that she is Morgan le Fay, sister of King Arthur and destroyer of Camelot. She is also shown to possess magical abilities and calls Jenkins "Galeas" (as in Sir Galahad). Jenkins wants Eve to shoot Morgan because Eve will only shoot when she wants to. When Eve finally does decide to shoot her, Lucinda simply Matrixes them to stop. She didn't build the app but she did put the spell together. She uses it to recharge her powers and stay young, giving magic to mortals, watch them destroy one another, and feed off the backlash from the Rule of Three.

They find that Amy's table is a pentagram and she was assigned to it because the hostility people felt towards her would charge the spell. They decide they can use the table's legs to form a Farady Cage around the fair, a container in which energy can't get in or out and thus dissipate the feedback. Amy is happy to help the group, which is good since they needed another set of hands.

Eve uses the app to lay a smack down on Lucinda. Lucinda is giddy that she can't stop the spell even if she tried. Eve is forced to retreat while the others are still putting the cage together. It works but Eve finds herself in the space between seconds, where there is no one else but Morgan, who is juicing off the spell so much that she will now be able to hide in any alternate reality and avoid the coming end. She then sends Eve back with a message for Jenkins: Noli timere scelerate timeo heros.

Amy is disqualified for her "dangerous Farady Cage experiment," meaning that the "county Librarians" are able to choose the winner of the STEM fair. They choose Leonard, the one with baking soda volcano and he is elated. Jenkins is angry when Eve returns because she didn't kill Lucinda/Morgan. Eve insists that as a Guardian, it isn't her job to kill. She passes on the message to Jenkins, who translates it as, "Do not fear the villain, fear the hero." He echoes her warning about the End coming and she if she doesn't learn to fight the war rather than win the battles, none of them will survive.

The Librarians airs on Sundays on TNT at 8PM.

The Librarians S1E6 - "And the Fables of Doom" Recap


A truck is thrown off a bridge in Washington, seemingly by a giant hand. The clipping book sends team Librarians to the scene of the crime to investigate. When the team discovers a giant fingerprint on the window of the truck, Jenkins tells them it may be a troll. They must get a sample or a picture during the daytime when the troll will be subdued. Eve and Ezekiel find a massive "rock" that seems to greatly resemble a troll, so they abscond with some pebbles from the mass.

Cassandra is woeful that Jake still doesn't trust her after her initial betrayal to the team, though he claims to be perfectly fine with working under their current circumstances. They are shocked when the local mayor out for a jog is running wearing no clothes, yet under the impression that he is wearing a new jogging suit given to him by his wife. The sheriff shares some other recent strange happenings to Cassandra and Jake who continue to put the pieces together.

After reuniting with the rest of the team, they hear chaos caused by a giant wolf wearing a frilly nightcap, which Jake takes down by throwing an axe at it. They realise that fairytales are coming alive and attacking people, meaning someone has weaponised fairytales. The team reconvenes with Jenkins, who sends them back out to make off with the wolf carcass so they can perform an autopsy. Upon cutting the wolf open, they find a shivering and confused young woman.

Jenkins determines that there is an old book that brings stories to life as it is read. As the book gains power, those stories can be changes, things can be added, and reality can be re-written. The stories become more powerful, more people and places can be swept up in them, and says that the story need a power source to bring it to life. Somewhere in the local hospital, there will be a pattern of people getting sick for no reason. (This particular brand of magic was also the cause of the Black Plague).

Eve and Jake make it down to the library, where the librarian is unknowingly in possession of the enchanted book. Meanwhile, Ezekiel follows an enchanted coin that keeps rolling until it stops in the room of a sick girl, Jamie, whom the local librarian had been reading to earlier. Ezekiel learns that Jamie got sick after falling asleep during story hour at the library. Cassandra is also receiving an increasing amount of attention from the females in the town.

Ezekiel has already angered the sheriff with his prior antics, but when he learns that Ezekiel had visited Jamie (his daughter) and had also taught her how to pick locks, he becomes enraged and threatens to huff and puff and blow the bar down. The sheriff starts to sprout fangs and is slowly turning into the big bad wolf. Eve also begins to hum (as well as having her hair down and appear to be particularly shiny and appealing), and Jake randomly has an axe appear in his hand as well as a bird come land in him. Jake is continuing his path into becoming the huntsman, Cassandra is Prince Charming, and Eve is a princess. Jenkins warns them that their being heroes doesn't mean that they're safe, as these are the original stories which are much darker in theme and content. The only person who escapes in every story is "the jack," the nimble rouge/luck thief who lives by his wits.

The team looks up and finds that Ezekiel is gone and the rest of the townspeople have all begun to turn into various fairytale characters. The book is getting stronger and the danger is growing. The team decides to try to get all of the townspeople, minus the wolves, back out into the library since they can't leave town the normal way because thorny branches have risen up out of the ground to block them from doing so.

Ezekiel returns to the hospital where the librarian is reading to Jamie and making her sick. Ezekiel tries to stop him but is unable to do so, as the librarian has been corrupted by the book's power. He had already discovered that reading from the book caused the listener to be drained of their life force and thereby strengthen the reader.

Eve calls Ezekiel and they swap information. Ezekiel must get the librarian to stop reading or everyone in the town will be slaughtered. A fight breaks out in the library as the team begins fighting the wolves. Ezekiel uses the luck he has by tossing the coin he had previously given to Jamie, which goes bouncing through the room, freezing the librarian in his place, and allowing Ezekiel to steal the book back and regain some power with a temporary spell. He gets Jamie to wake and has her tell the story she wants, with her happy ending.

Jamie says that the team didn't really die like the corrupt-librarian said because the huntsman (Jake) is actually a robot, the princess (Eve) is a ninja princess, and the prince (Cassandra) is really Merlin (an immortal wizard). Using their combined skills, they chased the wolves away. Jamie punishes her father by making him eat green jello, declares this the end, and the evil librarian is sucked into the book as the story finishes.

Team Librarians covers their track with a claim about chemicals and mass hallucinations, Jamie's health is restored and she is reunited with her father, who is willing to overlook things now that his daughter is better, though he finds that in hindsight it doesn't make much sense for a team of librarians to have helped them so extensively. Jenkins also collects up all the old books the librarian had. The book that had caused all the trouble is blank, save for just one page that has an illustration of the evil librarian. The rest of the team ponders how they experienced their alter-egos, and Ezekiel simply notes that he is awesome since the book had turned everyone into heroes whereas Ezekiel basically remained the same person. True that, Ezekiel.

The Librarians airs on Sundays on TNT at 8PM.

The Librarians S1E5 - "And the Apple of Discord" Recap


Flynn returns to help the team with the latest magical threat: dragons. The dragons live beneath the earth and when angered awake and can cause all kinds of trouble, including a series of strange weather happening throughout the weather, such as earthquakes. Eastern and Western dragons have had a blood-feud stretching back many millennia and if the problem isn't fixed, a war will break out. Eve isn't too pleased to see Flynn, as she feels he is undermining her authority as team leader.

The team meets a representative from the Eastern dragons, who appears in the form of a man despite being a dragon, known simply as Mr. Drake. Flynn, Eve, Jake, and Cassandra head to Vatican City in search of a dragon lair under the city. The team makes their way through some booby traps and encounter the Apple of Discourse, which induces a person's personality to make a change for the worse. The apple first infects Jake but later transfers its evil ways to Cassandra. She is able to easily take down Lamia when attacked by her. When the team catches up to her, Eve and Flynn end up fighting while both holding the apple but then the apple goes just to Eve, then back to Flynn, and Lamia ends up in a scuffle with them too.

Meanwhile, Ezekiel finds himself having to chair a conclave of several magical organisations in which they must try to resolve their disputes peacefully. Unfortunately for them, things take a turn for the worst when Dulaque shows up trying to remove the Library from its historical role as arbiter among them. Ezekiel is upset when Jenkins attempts to leave him, but Jenkins eventually comes back to help try to keep things under control. Unfortunately, the session is interrupted by a power-crazed, apple-holding Flynn. Happily, the team is able to get Ezekiel close enough to pick-pocket the apple away and Flynn convinces the conclave-attendees (minus Dulaque) of the necessity of the Library. Ezekiel is also able to stop Mr. Drake from making any more trouble.

Finally, Jenkins has a private moment with Dulaque and tells him off, knowing that he was the one to wake the dragons and cause all of the trouble that the team just had to face, all for his own agenda. Dulaque tries to offer Jenkins a spot to join his side but Jenkins says that what they once had is gone now. Flynn is impressed with the work Eve has done so he offers her a long-term contract as Guardian and says he'll stay if she does. However, Eve reminds him that he must go back out and recover the main Library.

The Librarians S1E4 - "And Santa's Midnight Run" Recap


Santa is volunteering at a soup kitchen in London. Santa is played by Bruce Campbell, which makes him super cool, in addition to his overall ensemble. He's wearing a fancy suit and a nice hat. A man comes in trying to rob the place of its donations but Santa talks him down. But then he's shot with a mistletoe tranquilliser and Santa realises it was a trick to make him reveal himself.

The team reveals a bit more about themselves. Eve is not into Christmas cheer. Cassandra loves Christmas, but her parents revealed that Santa wasn't real to her at the age of three.Ezekiel loves Christmas and how clearly marked expensive goods are at that time of year, and ponders what it would be like to be a good guy. But Jenkins interrupts the annex-decorating festivities to say that Santa has been kidnapped.

Santa isn't actually the figure they've been led to believe, but an immortal avatar of good cheer. Santa collects goodwill throughout the year and returns it on Christmas. But if he fails to do so, there will be worldwide chaos. That's why folks are cranky during the holidays; they're running low on good will. Cassandra is ecstatic to learn that Santa is real.

Jacob and Cassandra go to the soup kitchen and learn that the kidnappers had a snake tattoo. That's right, folks, Santa has been kidnapped by the Serpent Brotherhood. Jenkins determines that they are planning to kill Santa on Christmas Eve at midnight in order to absorb his stored magical power. Santa's able to assure Lamia that he understands why she's doing all of this but Dulaque tranqs him again to silence him.

Jake helps Cassandra to focus while Eve advises her to rely on her other senses to recall what else she experienced when she was taken by the Brotherhood. The clues she offers up help Ezekiel to hack and determine the location with the help of the many surveillance feeds in London. Jake and Eve get to the Serpent Brotherhood's lair, and there's brief comedic moment in which Lamia flirts with Jake and Eve smacks him to keep him focused. Lamia is ready to kill them at Dulaque's orders but they distract these villains by throwing up the many rare and expensive items on display in the room, forcing them to focus more on catching them.

Ezekiel and Cassandra slide down a chimney into the room where Santa's being held. Cassandra is elated to learn that Santa knows her name. Dulaque and Lamia realise that Jake and Eve are stalling so they run off to get to Santa. When they get to the room, they find that he's gone. Cassandra and Ezekiel get Santa to Eve and Jake. Strangely enough, Santa won't stop referring to himself in the third person. He says he needs to get to his sleigh to get to the North Pole. Ezekiel gets to wear Santa's hat to serve as a distraction with Cassandra while Eve will get Santa back to his sleigh.

Unfortunately, Santa's sleigh has been stolen. Ezekiel seems thrilled to spread good will while wearing the hat, and even showers a homeless man with money. Something's off about Santa, and he can't seem to keep his incarnations straight. As it turns out, his hat serves as a bit of an anchor so he can maintain his current one, which would explain why he's so set on spreading Christmas cheer. Jenkins advises Eve that they need to keep moving otherwise Santa can be tracked because of all his magic.

Santa and Eve are talking, about how Eve doesn't care for Christmas. Santa uses his magic to super-speed Eve's car but it runs out of gas so they stop in Canada. The Potentials return to the annex, where Ezekiel continues to spread Christmas cheer and Cassandra determines that Santa can spread Christmas cheer using the northern lights. They spread this news on to Eve, who must now walk with Santa to get to their next destination. Santa offers up some insight on how Eve never felt like she belonged on Christmas and that she moved around a lot due to people fighting (wars).

Jake meets up with Eve and Santa, who has now reverted to his "Odin" reincarnation and is drinking heavily in a bar. They get into a bar fight before carrying on with their journey. Unfortunately, they get to the airport and find that the pilot is gone because Ezekiel sent him home in a fit of Christmas joy to be with his fiancé. However, Santa claims that he can fly large objects through the air so he gets them up in the air towards the part of Alaska where the northern lights can be reached.

Unfortunately, Santa is starting to feel ill from the weight of the good will. Unfortunately, Dulaque and Lamia board the plane while it's still in flight using Santa's sleigh, which they stole. Santa passes out and Eve puts the plane on auto-pilot. She brings Santa back to the cargo area and finds that Lamia and Dulaque have subdued the Potentials. Lamia disables the plane, and Dulaque reveals that Santa has been poisoned by Holly Mistletoe.

Eve tricks Dulaque into putting Santa's hat on, by making him think it's a magical talisman of power. They tell him it would make them very happy if Lamia left, and he sends her away in the sleigh. Dulaque removes the hat when they try to get him to say how to stop the Brotherhood. Dulaque willingly lets himself out of Eve's grasp to fall out of the plane. The plane is struggling to stay up and Eve manages to land the plane with some help from Google.

Santa's not up to the task of getting the task done, due to his being poisoned. He reveals to the group that Eve is tuned into Christmas because she was born on Christmas Eve and named thusly. Santa transfers all of humanity's good will to Eve and tasks her with spreading hope to everyone. She is transported magically throughout the world and helps countless people to save lives, be encouraged, and feel hope. It's the show's single greatest sequence yet. When she comes to, she finds she has survived and all good will has been spread.

Jenkins lets Eve know that Dulaque will have survived falling out of the plane. The group notes how Cassandra got to believe in Santa Claus, and Ezekiel got to know what it was like to be the good guy, just as they had wished for earlier.
