    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      While she and Fen are laying a new path for the fake prophet, Margo likens the hard work to a training ruse by Mr.Miyagi, referring to Daniel polishing his automobile in the famous "Wax on, Wax off" sequence from The Karate Kid (1984).
    • Goofs
      Zelda assures Alice that she'll now be safe from repercussions to her wrongdoing, since any inconsistencies with her biography will remain undetected. This is because Sheila is now a junior librarian, so her book has been placed in the Poison Room, where no one will be able to read it - except that's where Alice has left Plover.
    • Quotes

      Margo Hanson: I seriously underestimate you sometimes, you know that?

      Fen: Yeah, no, I know that.

    Way more than I need to know about dragons
    A fun and memorable outing that was wacky and just insane, the things our characters will do and the lengths they go to in the series is fun and a entertaining to sit through, the dragon was weird.
