We know Eliot loves his movies after his epic Dirty Dancing monologue. Perhaps he and Margo are paying homage to The Breakfast Club as they take the field with their army.
Things have escalated quickly in the magical realm. Once High Queen Margo declared war, it was only a matter of time before the royals hit the battlefield.
Careful, Senator Gaines. Penny won't appreciate competition for Kady's affection. On the other hand, it's possible he's being shady rather than flirting. Any guesses?
Eliot: I vote that we don't touch it on the grounds that exploding Fillory wouldn't help. Quentin: Okay. We need a new plan. Margo: What plan? The Beast is gone. Our squad is a joke. What plan, exactly? Eliot: We'll figure it out. We always do. Margo: When it's a test to cheat on. Not when we're stuck in some epic fantasy that likes to behead heroes halfway through season one. If we even are heroes. We might be comic relief.
