Bear Naked - The Magicians S03E12 - The Fillorian Candidate

About this episode

The episode discusses character developments and political maneuvers in The Magicians.

Hello and welcome to The Magicians season 3 episode 12! This week, we get a bit of a lore dump that helps clarify why Julia still seems to be minorly magically inclined. Our shiney new alt-Penny is trying his best to integrate into our timeline, and it's not going great. Meanwhile, Eliot and Margo decide that one episode as deposed rulers of Fillory is long enough, so we head out onto the campaign trail! Thanks for listening.
