Meanwhile, the crew at Brakebills work to locate Mayakovsky and any potential batteries he may have left. When they ask Kady to tag along, she’s reluctant considering her history with Julia -- until Quentin brings Penny’s life into the mix and Julia shows her there is still magic in the world. When Josh is able to locate Mayakovsky through weird footage posted online, the four set out to find the magical batteries, but end up on a wild goose chase around the city tracking a mysterious woman they believe turned the Brakebills South professor into a bear. On their travels they run into an imagined dinosaur turned real at a children’s hospital and people engaging in “sex magic” in Central Park. They also bump into Alice, who is packing a mysterious cat and also looking for the batteries. As the team gets closer to finding Mayakovsky and the woman using his magic, Kady ends up getting her magical prayers answered. Quentin on the other hand gets caught by the thing hunting Alice.
