== Synopsis ==
Will Zimmerman falls victim to the three women's growing powers, while Helen Magnus seeks proof of their true identities via a former resident of the Old City Sanctuary. Ashley Magnus's luck in her monster hunt begins to run out....
== Plot ==
The Morrígan are floating rotationally down in the Old City Sanctuary's main lab. They begin to cause a lot of damage to the facility, stirring up a lot of wind that flings paper and objects around, and cause a massive amount of electrical shortages that fry systems and lightbulbs; spraying sparks everywhere. The Morrígan also give Will Zimmerman and Bigfoot (who's just returned from driving Helen Magnus to see Wexford) a light amount of brain damage that causes them to fall to the floor in severe pain that eventually renders Will unconscious. The women are only stopped once Magnus shoots them down with a type of custom energy weapon that resembles a heavily modified futuristic type of shotgun.
Time advances a little to Magnus tending to Bigfoot's injuries. Will then meets Henry Foss for the first time, as Henry shows up as tech support for all the destroyed lab equipment. Will gets Henry's brief backstory before Magnus sends him off to continue to fix her lab. As Bigfoot gets cleared, Magnus calls Will over for his checkup.
The unconscious Morrígan have now been placed in their own individual cells on a lower level. Magnus and Will talk as she finishes his checkup, sighting no permanent sustained damage and that Will should be fine. Will admits that he still has trouble accepting that they are 1,200-year-old witches, which he believes is not something Magnus wants to hear. Will then elaborates, citing the reason behind why they were even found was due to Magnus searching for elixirs that could possibly hold the key to granting her a normal lifespan again. Magnus sees this as a personal attack and decides to reveal to him that for her, longevity is not a gift, but a curse; that living forever takes the meaning out of life. At Magnus's warning that Will needs to be careful around these women, Will decides to take his leave, still refusing to believe that their sole purpose is to kill men despite him having personally been on the receiving end of their powers just a little earlier.
After having just left Magnus, Will makes his way upstairs into the Sanctuary's kitchen. Here, he walks in on Ashley Magnus sitting in the dark by herself performing first aid. Will sees her condition and decides to help clean up her leg wound. When Ashley feels that he's helped enough, she decides to stand up to leave. However before she can even take a step, Will offers his psychiatrist services again, pressing to Ashley that she would feel a lot better both physically and emotionally if she just talked to him about her issues surrounding her father. This annoys Ashley greatly, so much so that she grabs a hold of Will's hand and intentionally crushes it with her strong grip; standing just close enough to him to make Will uncomfortable as he listens to her softly spoken statements of the pleasure she feels when she takes down a ghoul, and that it's a lot more cathartic than talking on a couch. Ashley's actions make it clear for him to know to back off, and she proceeds to release his hand and to leave the room, leaving Will behind to cradle his now pain-filled hand.
Will then goes down to visit with the three witches who are now standing awake at the front of their cells. With Will still refusing their true past, Danu teaches him a lesson with her power, melting Will's brain a little bit causing him to fall to the floor in pain. As she does so, she reminisces about how the three of them were the sole reason behind the deadly outcome of the battle at Badon Hill; that they were the destroyer of men. Will then passes out as Danu makes it clear to him that she remembers for certain who she is.
Some time passes and Magnus is seen checking in on Will up in his office, who is now laying down on his therapy coach. At this point Will finally concedes to Magnus that the three women truly are witches and asks for her guidance as to how to deal with them. Even though Will now accepts their identities and powers, he still doesn't accept them to be bad people, being that they were initially kind before he jogged their memories of Badon Hill. At the mention Badon Hill, Magnus becomes a little bit confused as from what she learned from Wexford was that that was the site of the last battle that handed control of Britain over to King Arthur, meaning that the men who died were Saxons, not Britons. Will also becomes confused as the Morrígan were initially created by Morgan le Fay to be Arthur's enemy, wondering why they would now help him. Magnus voices that maybe they had no choice.
Magnus and Will are then seen downstairs in the library. Questioning Morgan le Fay and Arthur's rise to power, citing that feminine energy historically does not seek to dominate, but to instead restore harmony to the world. Magnus points out that of what they know of Morgan le Fay is revisionist history initially crafted by men to paint her as an evil sorceress. Magnus believes that the Morrigan were created by Morgan le Fay to possibly slow Arthur's rush to power, as he wanted total control over Britain. Magnus shows Will a record of Arthur's battle, to which Will heavily questions how a person who's lost half his battles could ever rule with such a poor win-loss history.
Down on a lower level in area next to where the Morrígan are being kept, Henry is repairing a damaged computer console. Danu calls for his attention, and once he turns around, Danu can now painfully affect Henry's mind just like she did to Will's earlier.
Back up in the library, Magnus and Will continue to look over the details of Arthur's battles. Most of his early battles were lost with very few casualties where most of his men simply stopped fighting. The pattern changes at Badon Hill where Arthur's enemies were wiped out en masse, most dying without a single mark on them. Magnus then concludes that Merlin must have recognized the Morrígan's power, and decided to brainwash the three women to do his bidding instead of Morgan's; forcing them to kill Arthur's enemies to hand Britain over to him. Merlin then has the Morrígan locked away in case they are ever needed again. As the keepers of the dead are figured out to be an incorruptible army created by Merlin to make sure that the Morrígan are never free again, keepers attack the Old City Sanctuary, busting through the windows of the library.
Magnus and Will immediately leave the library and are seen running away to safety down one to the long corridors. Outside, several keepers are seen climbing up the facility's perimeter walls.

== Quotes ==
[Will finds the Morrígan sisters floating in the central lab.]WILL: I'm pretty sure we have rules about...floating and stuff.
[Magnus tends to Bigfoot as Henry surveys the damage to the facility and chats with Will.]HENRY: Witches, huh? Been a while since we had to clean up from some of those. Hey, you must be the new guy. Henry Foss. Weapons, tech support, phone guy, you name it, I either build it or fix it. -Hopefully not in that order.WILL: -Will Zimmerman.HENRY: Yeah, I heard about you. Well, not much, actually, but I'm sure you're up for the task. More than the last guy, anyway. Look at this. You see that? I'm telling you, women plus technology equals mess.WILL: Hey, don't take this the wrong way, but are you....? You know?HENRY: [barks like a dog at Will] I'm just kidding. I am a normal boring Homo sapiens, just like yourself. My great great grandfather was Magnus's original weaponsmith back in London. [whispers] It's all about nepotism, dude.MAGNUS: -Henry, is my lab operational?HENRY: -Not yet.MAGNUS: Then I suggest you stop talking and go and fix it.HENRY: FYI: Around here, humans are second class citizens.MAGNUS: Go.HENRY: Especially men.
[As Magnus tends to Will's injuries, they discuss the three sisters.]WILL: Okay, I saw them floating in the air, I watched them destroy the lab with their minds, I guess. But as for them being the actual Morrígan, there's no way.MAGNUS: The markings on the ring. The memories of ancient battles. I'm entertaining the possibility.WILL: Or they could just be three scared, lost, delusional women, albeit with some freaky powers. Not famous witches from 1,200 years ago. [sighs] But that's not what you want to hear, is it?MAGNUS: I beg your pardon?WILL: -We looked in that crypt for....MAGNUS: -Elixirs.WILL: Right. Ones that could help you with your condition. And instead, we found three people in coffins, three people who are now claiming to be even older than you by a long shot.MAGNUS: I see. So I'm imposing my personal agenda on the situation, hoping that these three women can somehow help me help me find a cure for my longevity.WILL: It's understandable. If they were in fact 1,200 years old, they may hold the key to helping you--MAGNUS: You can't possibly understand. Life without end is not a gift. It's a curse. It means loneliness. Isolation. It means being less human. Now, if you can somehow prove that these three women are nothing more than misunderstood abnormals, believe me, I will be the first to applaud your efforts. But if they are indeed who I suspect, then you, more than anyone, are in mortal danger.
[Will enters the darkened kitchen and goes to a cupboard not noticing Ashley sitting at the table tending to her injuries.]ASHLEY: Hey.[Will turns around and lets out a yelp.]WILL: You scared the crap outta me.ASHLEY: Because of my unbearable hotness?
[Keepers of the dead invade the Sanctuary. Will and Magnus are forced out of the library and are running away down a hallway.]MAGNUS: I should have predicted this. Merlin's army is reclaiming their prize.WILL: Yeah, would have been nice to have seen that coming.
== Notes ==
* Subtitle Error: Just after the opening sequence, we see an exterior shot of the Old City Sanctuary. Henry Foss starts to talk, however, he is incorrectly labeled as 'Will' speaking.
* Subtitle Error: When Helen Magnus realizes that Will Zimmerman thinks that she has a personal bias for wanting the Morrígan to be actual 1,200-year-old witches, hoping they provide a solution to her own longevity, in Magnus's dialogue subtitles, "help me" is accidentally repeated twice.
