==Summary==
Bjorn clarifies that Miguel didn't know the book belonged to Jadis and Miguel explains that the book was in Stanley's wife's possession and they didn't know how she got a hold of it to begin with. He asks if they touched it, saying it's extremely dangerous. Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie all exchange looks with each other. Miguel asks if they left it in the closet and Sammie calls out that she didn't. Miguel tells them they need to put it back, immediately. 
Sammie asks how the book is dangerous as it doesn't seem to do anything and Miguel explains that the book wants to be used, if you are magically inclined it pulls you to it, and all the spells in the book are bad. No good comes out of the book. Miguel insists it go back in the closet with Gideon since Gideon won't know how to use it and it'll be safe there. Bjorn is swayed by this and tells Miguel they'll need to talk about it amongst themselves. 
Before they hang up, Bjorn updates Miguel on Gideon's status. He tells them that they've contained him and asks how long it'll take for the Fort to be drained out. Miguel says that Stanley is working on it with the Council and it's still going to be another week but Gideon will be fine in the closet until then. Miguel once again emphasizes that they need to put the spellbook back in the closet. 
Bjorn hangs up and asks Sammie and Henry how they would feel about putting the book back in the closet but keeping the key so they are the only ones who have access to it and can use it whenever they are ready and prepared to. Henry agrees but does not want Sammie to keep the key, saying she doesn't understand how powerful Jadis is and her control over her. This sets Sammie off, her anger bubbles to the surface again and she yells that she's the only one that truly understands how powerful she is now that Jadis is a part of her. Sammie starts to walk toward Henry to stab him again, but Bjorn manages to catch her around the waist and drag her back. Henry takes a few steps back to separate them and quickly apologizes. 
Bjorn suggests that they all take some time to cool down before they talk about it more. Sammie says she doesn't understand what the problem is with keeping it in her apartment if Bjorn is the only one that knows the code and Bjorn reminds her that there's only one of them that can read minds. Henry protests that he's not going to sit around and wait for weeks to use the book. Bjorn tells him that there is no time clock on this, there is nothing rushing them to run into this half cocked. Gideon has been this way for years and it's not going to help to rush now. Henry says there could be something in the book about the Empty Man that could help them and Bjorn shuts him down, saying that Miguel said all of the spells were bad and that if they are going to try and use it, it needs to be when they have the Fort back and all their usual protections. 
Henry finally agrees, but says that he wants to be the one to put it back and keep the key. Sammie points out that he can't put it back and that she will. Bjorn disagrees with them both and says that he'll take the book down and keep the key because he knows he won't use it until they're ready. He says that he has no attachment to witches that will make him want to use the key and no family ties that will make him want to use the key. Sammie finally gives in, agreeing to Bjorn's terms. She offers to cast the spell on him to help him breathe underwater to make it easier. Henry still isn't sure. Sammie tells him that they want to do this just as much as he does and Henry insists that they don't. Sammie says that he must underestimate how much they care about him and what's happened to his family then. Henry quietly apologizes and hands over the book to Bjorn. Sammie hands over the key as well. 
Bjorn focuses on using magic to make himself able to breathe under water. Sammie offers to help but Bjorn takes a deep breath and says he feels like it worked. They tie a rope around his waist and Sammie holds onto it, just in case. With the book and key in hand, Bjorn jumps into the water. He makes it about halfway to Miguel's room before he realizes he's not going to make it to the closet and not going to make it back - the magic didn't work. He pulls twice on the rope to signal that's something wrong and Sammie starts to pull him back but the rope gets stuck. Sammie tells Henry that something is wrong before casting the spell on herself and diving into the water to help get Bjorn out. Sammie finds him near the entrance, stuck on something that had crashed through the ceiling. Sammie pulls him out but is cut across the arm by the debris. 
Sammie pulls Bjorn out onto dry land. After coughing the water out of his lungs, he wordlessly hands the book and key to Sammie. Sammie takes it and dives back into the water. She swims back to Miguel's closet. She focuses on connecting with Gideon's mind again to tell if he's awake and finds that he is conscious but very groggy. Sammie attempts to quietly open the door and toss the book inside. The book opens as she throws it and a page catches in the door. She closes the door so Gideon can't escape, but grabs the paper that fell out in order to toss it in the closet as well. 
As Sammie looks at the page that has fallen out of the spellbook, she feels a weird sensation come over her. Her mind feels like it is being invaded by images and words and then she realizes the spell has ingrained itself into her mind. It's a finding spell - one that will allow her to find any inanimate object, anywhere. Sammie snaps out of it and throws the page into the closet before locking it. She feels that Jadis is happy about Sammie learning this spell. Sammie swims back up to the courtyard to where Henry is standing and Bjorn is still catching his breath. Sammie tells them that it's done, that the book and Gideon are locked up. She hands the key back to Bjorn. 
Bjorn says that they'll talk about this again in a week but they all need time to cool down. Henry and Sammie agree.
