## Summary

Five witches are approaching on the horizon. Bjorn calls over the radio for the Dragon Knights to take on the witches and for H.U.N.T.E.R. to stay focused on the hydra. Bjorn hits the hydra with the rocket launcher again to keep its attention on him and give Sammie more time to get away from the hydra's feet. The hydra begins to move forward into the water.

Henry flies into the air and hits the hydra in the eye with a rocket. Sammie hits it with another blast of fire before it knocks her back into the water again. Bjorn tries to take a shot, but the hydra moves faster than he expected through the water. The hydra snatches Bjorn out of the air and holds him in its mouth. With the hydra distracted by Bjorn, Henry flies behind the hydra in an attempt to get an attack from surprise. He deals a devastating blow with his claws and the hydra's neck is severed. Bjorn is dropped from the hydra's jaws as it falls. Sammie swims through the water to get closer to the monster and hits it with a blast of fire, sealing off the last neck.

Sammie quickly notices a witch flying toward her. She throws a fireball at the witch, but the witch manages to grab Sammie out of the water and fly high into the sky with her. Bjorn gives chase and slams himself into the witch, grabbing Sammie, and taking off. The witch falls toward the ground and Henry intercepts her, finishing her off. Bjorn takes a shot at another witch, but she shoots a force blast back. Sammie begins to freefall out of the sky before Bjorn catches himself and grabs her. In his descent, he slams into the wall of the Fort.

Henry takes aim at a witch and shoots her in the knee. The witch falls out of the sky and into the water. The last remaining witch takes off, fleeing from the scene too fast for them to follow. Henry goes to get the witch he shot out of the sky. Bjorn and Henry start to perform healing on the downed Dragon Knights.

As Henry drags the witch the shore, an angry male Dragon Knight charges toward him. Henry tells him that the witch is still alive and that they might be able to get valuable information out of her. Angeline comes up behind the Dragon Knight and tells him to relax for now and the Dragon Knight makes Henry promise that he'll get to 'deal' with the witch after they're done with her. Henry agrees.

Henry asks Angelina if she has a place to take the downed witch. Bjorn approaches as Angelina says that she doesn't and they should just take her back to wherever they're staying and put in some magical protections. Bjorn agrees that they need to collect themselves and regroup anyway. Agent Thor tells Bjorn he'll call in a clean-up crew to clean up the remains of the hydra from the island. Sammie calls Oliver to tell them they're on the way with a witch and that they need to draw a protection circle on his floor.

## Trivia

It seems everyone forgot they brought Oliver along to the hydra fight as after the fight is over, Sammie calls Oliver to tell them they're coming to his apartment with a witch. The crew states at the end of the episode that they took a 3-week break from recording between this episode and the last, which is probably why they forgot.
