In return, she owes him a debt.
Bandon then sets out to prove that there are no people worth saving.
He and Flick approach a seemingly random farm and ask the man there for food and lodging.

Its cursed, you see.
Its Bandons old house!
Then the farmers child proudly shows off Bandons old muzzle.
You know, the one with the blue bed and the nice view.
Then he kills their son with his old muzzle as the parents watch helplessly.
Yo B-dawg, listen up: Murdering magical people=bad.
Murdering people who want to murder magic people=also bad.
They take their conversation to the stables, where Lyria can speak freely: She still loves Eretria.
Anyway, this allows Eretria give Ander the final proof he needs to confirm Edains guilt.
Its an especially deep cut, because Edain is like a brother to him.
(You know, Anders blood brother waspretty terrible, too.
Poor guy needs better bros!)
Cut to Edain, who thinks hes delivering weapons to armored Crimson troops.
But its Ander under the helmet, and he pummels his former brother for the betrayal.
Let it be noted that Edains armor is forged with visible abs, which shouldve been clue No.
1 that he was up to no good.
Tamlin arranges a trial in front of herMoon Door er, ledge overlooking a waterfall.
When they reach Edain, she hands Ander the staff.
He says Ander wont understand supporting a cause greater than himself.
Youve underestimated me for the last time, Ander says, pushing Edain into the falls.
She promises, but he clearly doesnt believe a word of it.
In short, this alliance is off to agreatstart.
One alliance thats going strong is Lyretria, whove moved past their recent difficulties.
Eretria encourages Lyria to remember that the queen needs Lyria far more than Lyria needs the queen.
Youve got this, princess, she tells her.
Also, she wants the queen to leave Eretria alone.

As Wil recuperates from massive blood loss, Allanon and Mareth get to know each other.
It doesnt go well.
Allanon reads her mind and learns that she believes him to be her father.
She says shes not looking for daddy/daughter time; she just wants help controlling her magic.
Also, her mother told her that looking for Allanon was a mistake; Allanon agrees with that assessment.
Wil shortens this conversation by insisting they leave for Paranor sooner rather than later to save Flick.
(That sounds even less reliable than the rhythm method, TBH.)
Wil says hes willing to pay the magical price to save Flick.
Good thing they packed their rappelling equipment!
The trio lower themselves into a lush, green chasm and begin the long hike to Sheas grave.
At times, we even switch to OMINOUS SPIDER-EYE CAM.
In classic Scooby-Doo style, the group splits up to search for the sword.
Wil and the Elfstones go one way, and dad and daughter go the other.
At Mareths prodding, Allanon begins asking questions about her magic.
As she grew, it became stronger, but more dangerous and unpredictable, too.
Then she refuses to walk another step until he agrees to help her learn to control it.
They race to find Wil.
It drags him away, leaving behind that ugly necklace he was just reunited with.
The visual is honestly horrifying.
The dweller wraps a tentacle around one of his legs as Mareth hacks fruitlessly at it.
Then the beast explodes in a burst of blue light courtesy of Wil and the Elfstones.
Always remember that he carried you in his heart, like any father would, he tells Wil.
Hearing this, Mareth starts to cry.
Im sorry we didnt have more time.
Nevertheless, Wil holds the sword dramatically aloft as the episode concludes.
