Season Five

The idea for these episode pages came from Miles.

## Metatextual Information

Season five took place in 2018, after a brief extension to the hiatus due to the writers of the show getting married. It returned on June 11th, 2018, and ended on July 9th, 2018. It introduced the character of Tressa Davies and took place in the Infinity Mirror timeline.

## Non-Spoiler Plot

A listener of the podcast, Tressa Davies, wins a competition run by Becca De La Rosa and Maybell Marten to stay in Becca's grandmother's house, the place which inspired the Martin House in the show. Tressa stays in the house while recording herself answering questions the writers had given to her. Once she arrives, it rapidly becomes clear that the house, Becca, Maybell, and Tressa herself are not what they seem.

Episode Six: Vanished

In which the end is nigh. Featuring: a family history, a shared experience, a desperate hunt, bewilderment, horror, disaster.

**Episode description:** Something's gone wrong at the Martin house.

## Episode Overview

Anna tells Mabel about her uncle Jack, who went missing before Anna was born. Then she finds Sally outside with rose thorns around her ankles, half dead from exposure.

**Trigger Warnings:**

* Disappearance, hypothermia, hospitals, death, parental issues, alcohol.

## Episode Summary

Anna tells Mabel about her uncle, who went missing in the hills. All that was left of him was a wallet with 600 dollars-- which Anna took to be payment of some form-- along with his shoes. They never found him, leading Anna's mother to raise Anna and her sister with a dosage of world-wariness that affected Anna into adulthood. She hears the doorbell ring, but no one is there, so she goes to wake up Sally and finds her missing.

She calls 911 and runs around the House, finding Sally in the garden looking very, very dead. However, she's still alive, so Anna manages to get her to a hospital. They won't let Anna stay overnight, so she goes to leave, but Sally tells her “I tried to save her. Once I knew, I tried, but it was too late. You believe me, don’t you, Anna?”

Anna asks if she's talking about Lily, and Sally says no. Anna, in a fit of desperation, asks if she was talking about Luna Thorne. Sally says "oh, Anna, I'm so sorry," and the nurse makes Anna leave. Anna ends the call by saying that Sally's safe in the hospital, that she'll go there early tomorrow so Sally can tell her about Luna, then Anna will tell Mabel and the spell will be broken. Everything will be okay.

Oh, Saint Anna, the author of this wiki wishes that were true. You've got a few dozen more episodes to go, honey.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Anna calls Mabel the princess in the tower. Mabel, of course, is actually the monster of the story.
* Sally tried to *save* Luna-- as Anna realizes later on in the show, you can't just save someone from hell. You've got to love them for all that they are, even in the Underhill. Especially if they're a girl-half-burning.

## Trivia

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Anna's mother is the youngest of her siblings.
* Anna only has one sister-- Monica.
* Lily was meant to go to the hills the day she went missing, presumably to see Juniper.

## Killing the Moon

#### **Trigger Warnings**

* Blood, loud noise, unreality, depersonalization, disassociation.

## Episode Summary

We meet back up with Mabel, who continuously tells Anna to leave her alone. She talks about not being real as a child (and not having green eyes, lending to the theory that she's a changeling) before talking about Luna Thorne, revealing her to be the girl in the mirror that she had mentioned in episode seven.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* This episode holds the first mention of Mabel's boarding school, El Segundo Academy.

Episode Twenty-Three: Bull in the Maze

In which the saint speaks.

**Episode description:** *Warning: this episode is haunted.*

Saint Anna, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our deaths.

## Episode Summary

Anna makes her return, mimicking her own voice from season one in order to attempt to play a trick on Mabel. She mentions that Mabel's voice (from her voicemails) has gotten stuck in her head, to the point where she cannot physically claw Mabel out of her ears. Even through her anger, she still says that she Needs Mabel, that Mabel is her antithesis which defines her. She then tells a story about the land the Martin House was built on-- the land and the House resenting each other, the House eventually becoming bitter:

*"So the house said,* stay*. The house said,* mine*. The house said,* no more; I am staking my claim; this is my family and I have a right to them, and if they leave me they will leave bereft, for I am the house on the hill and this is my final testament. *And under the house, in the land below the land, the king said –"*

Anna talks about her changeling, saying that she was doing a better job at being human than Anna ever did. She talks about the King, explaining how he changes-- based on the seasons, he lives and die throughout the cycles of the year. Lastly, she finally tells Mabel that she loves her too, and then commands her (all king-like) to never, ever leave her.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* The King as his "winter" self is his primary form throughout season four.
* Veratrine being a better 'person' than Anna is positions her to be the best at pretending to be human amongst the irreverent miscreants-- Anna being a better 'person' than Mabel is is canonical as of Coalescence.

## Trivia

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* The piece of code hidden in the transcript from this episode is "**in**."
* There is no "featuring" portion in this episode.

In which – [GARBLED]. Featuring: the linear nature of time, an unfortunate telephone conversation, a displeased rescuee, the facts of the matter.

**Episode description:** The Martin house's new occupant assesses her situation.

## Orientation

#### **Trigger Warnings**

* Screaming, unreality, starvation, eating noises / misophonia triggering content, loud noises, fighting.

## Episode Summary

Mabel arrives back in the house after Anna swapped their places in the previous episode. Mabel speaks to Anna (through her phone) about the struggles she's facing adjusting to the 'real' world. She mentions that time works differently under the hill and that she cannot use her stubbornness or other matters of willpower to get what she wants up here. She then discusses how the house is rearranging itself around her, specifically putting the landline phone on the dining room table so she can hear it ringing. She then gets very, very mad at Anna after picking up the phone to find Anna's friend (a Miss Reyes) asking after her. She says that she looked but never found Anna and then explains that she's most likely being forced to sing for the Underhill in order to survive. She ends the episode asking Anna who she truly is and then saying that it doesn't matter-- she loves her no matter who she is.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* "I looked and looked but never found you" is said first to Anna by Mabel in Anna's dream in Asterion.
* Time is a longstanding motif in the show, as is rot.
* Anna can be heard singing in Bull in the Maze.

## Trivia

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Mabel calls Anna's friend again later on-- no word on if she'll be recurring or not yet.
* This is the first episode where Mabel's voice actress is credited as Mabel Martin, rather than having her name censored.
* During this season, the Mabel creators ran a competition. A piece of code was hidden in the transcript documents of each episode by highlighting a single world from each in blue. The piece of code hidden in the transcript from this episode is "**two**." The code was solved at the end of the season (see the trivia section of Coalescence).
Esau

Esau is a character mentioned throughout *Mabel*.

## All Seasons

Esau is Mabel Martin's grandfather, Lily Martin's father, and Sally Martin's husband. None of them took his last name, which is unknown. Little is known about him beyond the fact that he is dead (see Pilgrimage, in which Anna states that he is buried next to Lily).

His name presumably references the biblical Esau, who is the older brother of Jacob. Jacob uses deception to steal Esau's birthright and Esau vows to kill him.
The Mourning Dove

The Mourning Dove was a young boy who served as a major plot point in in Infinity Mirror. This page contains mentions of ableism and death.

## The Mourning Dove

### Relatives

Tressa Davies (Classmate)
Aurora Silver (Killer)
The King (Sacrifice To)

## Season Five

When Tressa Davies was young, she attended Lang Primary Conservatory for the Disabled with the Mourning Dove. They were in a similar group due to being classed as having similar disabilities. He had "bones like glass"-- mimicking a bird's hollow bones-- while Tressa has Nemaline Myopathy. At some point during her years attending the school, Tressa watched as Aurora Silver slit the Dove's throat, killing him in a ritual attempting to summon the King.

Throughout Infinity Mirror, Tressa is constantly reminded to "remember the Mourning Dove" and attone for what she witnessed.

Crete Hierarchy

The Crete Hierarchy is the overarching motif in which each character from *Mabel* corresponds to a character from the story of Theseus and the Minotaur (or perhaps, more accurately, Ariadne and Her Shitty Boyfriend and The Minotaur).

## Canonical Tie-ins

Mabel Martin as The Labyrinth and The Minotaur.

Anna Limón as the Ball of Thread.

Aurora Silver as King Minos.

## Theoretical Tie-ins

Sally Martin as Daedalus.

Lily Martin as Icarus.

Brandon as Theseus.

Ekaterina Roskova as Ariadne.

## Theoretical Reasoning

These theories were written by Abbey, and any questions should be directed to them.

Sally: Created the labyrinth (Mabel), punished the Minotaur (Mabel), left Ariadne to use the thread (Anna) to wander through the maze.

Lily: Tried escaping the labyrinth (Mabel), and through her hubris died for it.

Brandon: Almost kills the Minotaur (Mabel), young and stupid and sent to die.

Ekaterina: Mabel's "sister" (both students of Aurora Silver / Minos) who gave the thread (Anna) to the cult (when she summoned God!Anna in episode 40).
Laney Ketteredge

Laney Ketteredge is a character from the site What Happened at El Segundo. The summary on this page is paraphrased from the Who Am I? page on the site. For more specific information, please check there.

## All Appearances

The only mention of Laney Ketteredge is a question on Eidolon García's contact page: *What happened to Laney Ketteredge in the Lockmore Hotel?*

## Speculation

Laney is a British name which means "path" or "roadway" (according to Google). Ketteredge is also apparently a British name. There's no clear reference for the Lockmore Hotel, but if you'll forgive the curator for being mildly self-indulgent, my immediate thought for "something weird happening to a girl in a hotel presumably on the West Coast" was the various deaths in the Cecil Hotel-- feel free to read about those cases right here, though be warned that it involves discussion of death and specific suicide.

Lolo says to email her in order to ask about Laney Ketteredge, but as of February 15th, 2022, she has not yet responded.
Lang Primary Conservatory for the Disabled

Lang Primary Conservatory for the Disabled was a "cult school" presumably ran by Aurora Silver.

## Background

Lang Primary Conservatory for the Disabled was a "cult school" ran by Aurora Silver. It was active sometime in the early 2000's. Aurora Silver, under the alias "Lara Ouvriers", manipulated the children in her care there, sorting them into classes based on their disability. After Tressa Davies tricked a girl into giving her a ring, Aurora Silver started having one-on-one sessions with Tressa, eventually ending in Tressa witnessing a ritual in which Aurora Silver sacrificed a boy codenamed the Mourning Dove by slitting his throat.
Episode Twenty: Acting Out

In which there is no exit. Featuring: a promise, a threat, an imposter.

**Episode description:** Mabel and The House. The House and Mabel.

Mabel prepares to root out an imposter.

## Episode Summary

Mabel declares that she is going to cold-blood murder the changeling who's replaced Anna, before calling back Anna's friend in order to tell her that Anna's been replaced by a changeling. The woman does not listen to her.

While Mabel talks to Anna, the door is constantly knocked on by an unknown person, who Mabel assumes to be the changeling. She decides to go chase down the changeling after giving-- for lack of a better descriptor--  the gayest monologue in the entire show ("Anna, Saint Anna. Our future is pure and shining...").

Her mind made up, she burns down the entire south wing of the house in order to escape.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Mabel calls back the woman that she picked up the phone call from in Orientation-- a Miss Reyes.
* At the end of the episode, she burns down the House as she threatened to in La Peregrinación.

## Trivia

## Metatextual Information

Season four dropped between July 24th 2017 and December 18th 2017. It was written by both creators of the show, and introduced the characters of Veratrine, Jack Madrigal, Aurora Silver, and The Unknown Voices. It is the first season where Anna and Mabel are together for the majority of the season's runtime.

Janet Kirk

art by andy.

*I can do whatever it takes! I'm not helpless!*

Janet Kirk is played by Dorrie Sacks. She is a secondary protagonist in seasons six and seven of *Mabel*.

## Season Six

Janet first appears trying to break into the Martin House on Friday the Thirteenth. She explains the backstory of the "urban legend" of Anna Limón before the House attempts to eat her by drowing her in a pile of leaves. After escaping the leaves, she ends up within the house, where she finds a series of graffiti on the walls, including one that says *Janet Kirk met her own death*.

She decides the content she wanted to get isn't worth it, and moves to leave. While doing so, she finds Anna starving and half-dead-- she calls 911 for medical aid and then tells Anna that she'd been missing for the past three years.

## Season Seven

Janet is first heard from in season seven in her voicemail, which Eidolon García (Lolo) is calling. Lolo pulls into the destination her GPS tells her to and finds Janet chasing after Anna, trying to get her to stick around for an ambulance. Lolo insists that they have to leave and she and Janet fight, Lolo saying she had told Janet not to go to the Martin House alone. Anna uses her powers on Janet after asking why she cut her out of the wall.

Janet was apparently brought into the mystery by Lolo, and directly went against her wishes by going to the Martin Place by herself. Due to this betrayal, Lolo refers to her as a tourist in the strange and unusual. She knows some of the secrets of the Martin House (including what happened in the twenties and Mabel's death in this timeline) due to her friendship with Lolo.

Janet helps Lolo and Anna attempt a ritual in the Martin home; she dies trying to pull Mabel from the House's walls all of an hour after asking Lolo out on a date. The wiki's curator is super normal about this.

## Canonical Appearances

Maribeth Parker

Maribeth Parker is a character from the site What Happened at El Segundo. The summary on this page is paraphrased from her page on the site. For more specific information, please check there.

## All Appearances

Maribeth Parker was said to have been born in 1968 in Portland, Oregon by her El Segundo file. According to Eidolon, "no birth records for a Maribeth Parker exist at that time or place." Despite no records existing for various other points in her life, Parker was said to have gotten her masters in psychology from UCLA in 1997, when she would have been about 29 years old. After the death of the staff psychologist James Barbicon, Parker took his spot at ESA. She eventually became the Vice-Dean of Students. She organized the search party for Ron Newman in 2002 and was the person who stayed with the left-behind students during the year's winter break. She disappeared after the fire which burnt El Segundo down on April 3rd, 2003; during the early hours of it, she refused to let police into the building after they received a frantic call from a girl calling herself Callie. After her disappearance, police searched her room and discovered strange items, a list of which can be found here.

## Trivia

* Two conflicting theories (by two known enemies) place Maribeth as, respectively, either Aurora Silver or Lily Martin. Both are known blonde alchemists.
* You literally do not understand how long I've waited to write this page. Maribeth you drive me bonkers.

Episode Eight Point Five: Letter From Juniper

In which history comes alive again. Featuring: love as kindness, love as cruelty, a girl who will never get her way.

**Episode description:** A teaser for season two, in honour of the new year.

## Letter From Juniper

#### **Trigger Warnings**

* Unreality, bones, cannibalism (as a metaphor. kind of.).

## Episode Summary

Somewhere around 12 years before Mabel is born, Juniper sends Lily a letter and talks about how they met, how they fell in love, and how much she loves her.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Juniper and Lily share a mirror, as Luna Thorne and Mabel do. In accordance to the creators' tumblr, you tend to share a mirror with the person you're in love with when you're a Martin (unless, of course, your grandmother dammed the girl who loved her, leaving her to share a mirror with you, her very, very not human granddaughter who by all rights should be sharing with a rebellious nurse with a halo of curls etc etc.)
* The "eating what you love" metaphor sticks around.

## Trivia

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Lily wears lily flowers in her hair.
* Lily has visited the hill, with Juniper as a guide.
* Lily, apparently like all Martins, likes to sing.
Larissa Knight

What Happened At El Segundo

What Happened At El Segundo is an extra content page dropped in the transcript of Seeled on January 28, 2022. It is currently offline.

## All Content

This page was written by Eidolon García and discusses what happened at the boarding school El Segundo Academy, where Mabel Martin went to school. The site itself is a summary of how El Segundo came to be and eventually burned down. It focuses on April 3rd, 2003, in which the entire school burned down in unexplainable circumstances. It also discusses Maribeth Parker and her role in the school. Now, past Curator was like "haha, no point in summarizing it again!" but actually this is a free excuse to talk about ESA! Let's go!

## Background (Pre-2003)

El Segundo was a "pseudo-therapeutic, borderline militaristic" school for troubled girls located in California. It was founded by Gertrude Edgeworth, who used to experiment on kids in the '40s and '50s. It engaged in unhealthy punishments for its teenage residents. In the 2002-2003 school year, only 54 girls were enrolled, living stuck together in two dorms meant to hold only 40 people total. A former student named Elizabeth Hook was found dead by an ESA sophomore in September. Everything continued to get weirder from there: the music department floods; students become trapped by a circled group of wild foxes; a student named Talia Moore has a red oak fall on her; strange sounds echo through Meredith Dorm; eggs are found full of stones; part of the school collapses.

As if the school environment can't get worse, girls began to regularly pass out in assembly and the school's horses went missing. The school's director, Ron Newman, also went missing and was found covered in black mud five days later. Rattlesnakes were found in his office. His spot at the school was never filled after he went to an assisted living facility, which meant that the three kids who stayed at ESA over winter break were left alone during a blizzard.

After winter break, the 38 remaining ESA girls are all crushed into Meredith dorm, sleeping four to a room. Vines began to grow into the building. Two freshmen-- Laura Jeung and Kinsey McAllister-- got into a fistfight and their dorm monitor burnt all of their personal possessions. Kinsey got third-degree burns while trying to grab a stuffed animal from the fire and was taken out of El Segundo by her parents.

## April 3rd, 2003

At 9:18 A.M, Callie placed a call to the Jericho fire department. She was terrified that someone was going to find her and hung up before the switchboard operator could figure out what was going on. Two Jericho police officers, Officer Holbrook and Officer Avila, were sent to ESA after the call was traced. Maribeth Parker-- the vice-dean of students-- refused to let them in. When the cops were about to leave, a window exploded with black smoke, and they forced their way into the building past Parker. Avila died and Holbrook received severe burn wounds. Meredith dorm flooded while the main ESA building (and the running field) burned for 17 hours straight. Maribeth Parker disappeared and strange artifacts were found in her office.
Jack Madrigal

*One day he was there, and then he wasn’t; and he never came home.*

Jack Madrigal is a minor character in Mabel. He is Monica and Anna's uncle on their mother's side. He disappeared before Anna was born and is currently a musician in the Underhill, referred to by his last name. More information on Jack can be found in *Mabel: A Year of Letters*.

*Mabel Martin? I'm going into the ground for you.*

Brandon is played by Ty Fuhrman. This page contains discussion of suicide.

## Season Four

Brandon is a member of Aurora Silver's cult. Throughout season four, he (along with Jonathan and another Unknown Voices) spies on the Underhill through recording devices. After Jonathan loses a recording of The King's voice, Aurora Silver takes Brandon away for a task that is later revealed to be going to the Martin House and killing himself there. He shoots himself in the head after telling Mabel he's going into the ground for her. The bullet goes through his skull and then ricochets off of him, hitting Mabel in the arm. His body is eaten by the House and is later dropped in front of Anna and Mabel before being turned into a rattlesnake.

## Season Seven

His death is Jonathan's motivator to betray the cult in Ashes, Ashes.

Eidolon García explains that she tried to save a spirit that was presumably Brandon when she was twelve. He was upset to be taken out of the loop of his death, as he felt his death was the most meaningful thing he'd ever done.

## Trivia

* He's consistently referred to as "young man" or "kid" by the other characters, suggesting he's somewhere around 16-20 (confirmed in a post by Becca De La Rosa). If he was in fact the spirit Eidolon tried to save at a young age, he was only 17.
* He was very loyal to Aurora Silver's ideology, and wanted to be remembered for his work as a cultist.

Episode Three: The Man in the Street

In which rain continues to fall. Featuring: a stranger, a name revealed, palindromes, recursion, and one important word.

**Episode description:** Anna meets a stranger, discovers a mystery, and keeps trying to contact the elusive Mabel Martin.

## Episode Summary

Anna calls Mabel and tells her that there's a man outside the house, leaning against the lamppost having a cigarette. She then explains that Sally is fine, just fell trying to grab water from her nightstand at the end of the previous episode. Anna found out the name on the letter-- Luna Thorne, from a place called Fairy Hill. The man comes up to Anna and asks her "Hey, I'm really sorry about this, but I'm so lost. Could you give me directions to [CENSORED]?" When she tells him, he just goes back to the lamppost. He comes back about an hour later and asks the same question. Anna threatens to call the cops, and says the man looked at her like she was "his long-lost daughter that he'd been trying to save for years." The third time he comes back, he looks so utterly devastated that Anna forgets to call the cops and tries to hug him. He pulls away from her and, looking at the house behind her, mouths *get out* over and over. Then he leaves for real.

Anna ends the episode by telling Mabel the word in her dreams was "datura."

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* The man was looking at Anna like a long-lost daughter because he was there looking for his actual daughter-- he's Thomas, and he wants to see Mabel, who he never got to meet.
* The question Thomas asks Anna is presumably the same one he asked Lily when he met her.

## Trivia

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Anna calls herself short in this episode. However, according to the creators, Anna is taller than Mabel, meaning it's canon that Mabel Martin is something like five feet tall.
* Anna cries when she's scared.
* This is the first episode that Anna states she's a lesbian (specifically, that she likes notebooks over boys).
Episode Four: Datura

In which a trail is followed. Featuring: Shakespeare, music from ghosts, a sly serving-girl, and too many riddles to count.

**Episode description:** Anna reads Mabel a story and begins a treasure hunt.

## Episode Overview

Anna goes to the library and discovers a trail of clues around a mysterious riddle.

## Episode Summary

Anna goes looking for a book to find out what "datura" means after seeing it in her dream in episode two. She finds an encyclopedia with the page she needs carved out, instead finding an EP record with "hold with the hare" written on it. She plays it and finds a bead from a doll stuck on it, and when she goes to find the doll she finds the page buried in the doll's skirt, overwritten in reddish ink with a riddle.

Anna hangs up and comes back later, telling Mabel that her mother's gotten sick but she doesn't want to talk about it, and that her mother told her what "hold with the hare" means-- it's from the saying *run with the hounds, hold with the hare*, and is used to call someone a hypocrite. She then recounts her dream, where a child version of Mabel led her outside to show her the house overrun in vines and ivy.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Seeing as the EP record presumably belongs to Sally, we can assume Luna is the hare mentioned.
* This is the first in a series of riddles Anna has to solve.

## Trivia

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Luna's a hypocrite who broke her promise, which makes the hare metaphor a bit on the nose.
* All the mirrors in Anna's dreams are covered, meaning we're probably seeing the house as Mabel remembers it, rather than how Anna knows it.
* Anna reads Mabel a line from Richard the Third-- "and nothing can we call our own but death / and that small model of the barren earth / which serves as paste and cover to our bones." She quotes this again in episode 28, adding another line: "for God’s sake let us sit upon the ground / and tell sad stories of the death of kings."
Lily Martin

art by carlie

*I can’t just leave, I said. I can’t just go.*

Lily Martin was an antagonist in *Mabel.* She has no known voice actress. Please be warned that this page contains discussion of abuse.

## Seasons One-Six

Lily Martin was the daughter of Sally Martin and Esau. In her teenage years, she was in love with a faerie named Juniper, who she met in a field; Juniper fell in love with her when she laughed. However, they did not end up staying together, their relationship ending with Juniper predicting her death. Later on, she had a brief fling with a man named Thomas that resulted in Mabel Martin being born. She was abusive to Mabel. At some point she saw Mabel as she truly was (complicated-- possibly a changeling, possibly she just saw Luna Thorne). She died with broken bones in her throat when Mabel was four. Mabel has her last name rather than Thomas's.

It is canon that Lily wore lilies in her hair as a teenager, according to *Letter from Juniper*. It is also canon that she was a dabbler in alchemy.

Lily kept a journal detailing much of her life as a teenager. The journal is described as a "leather-bound spiral notebook" by Anna in Episode 8: The Freeze when she finds the journal on the kitchen counter. It is stuffed with clippings from old magazines, including one from a Virginia Slims ad that says, "You've come a long way, baby." Instead of a name on the back of the front cover, Anna finds a picture of roses from Sally's garden. In the journal, Lily describes a dream she had from the perspective of a bird. When explaining why she hesitated to run away with Juniper, one of her reasons for staying was that her friend, Jo, would be waiting for her at the bus stop. The journal also includes in its pages a drawing of the alchemical symbol for mercury. This symbol was tied back to the Hand of Mysteries by Mabel Martin and Becca De La Rosa during a live event where Mabel Martin mentioned that the Hand of Mysteries might be a good avenue of research as it contained "pictorial references."

## Season Seven

Sally Martin completed a ritual called "On The Basis of Exchange" before Lily was born in order to clone her older brother, Phillip Martin, and rebirth him. This clone ended up being Lily herself.

Lily is heard talking to Mabel during an unknown time period in Ashes, Ashes. It sounds like she is saying "it is my house-- it was always my house, you need to leave."

1. ↑ Episode Thirty-Five: Delirium
2. ↑ Episode Eight: Freeze
Episode Fourteen: Legacy

In which all bonds are strained against. Featuring: that secret you've been nurturing like a black seed, the fear that hovers at the edge of your sleep, the promise on the tip of your tongue.

**Episode description:** Anna and the house. The house and Anna. Anna, is there anyone home? Anna? *Anna?*

## Legacy

#### **Trigger Warnings**

* Suicide, death, animal death, loud noise.

## Episode Summary

Anna learns Sally has left her her house and an inheritance; it is paid to Anna like her wages were, essentially indenturing Anna to the house. Anna then finds a strange book that has a recipe for opening doors, as Thomas mentioned in the previous episode. Despite it being literal poison, Anna drinks it after a frankly spectacular monologue. The episode ends with her body falling to the floor.

## Continuity

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* Anna's fine. She's fine! She's just dead now. But that doesn't really matter in this story.
* This is one of several episodes which reference Shakespeare.
* Mabel later mocks Anna for wanting to be normal due to the moment Anna speaks of in this episode.

## Trivia

**Please note that this section contains spoilers for later episodes of Mabel. Continue at your own risk.**

* "The dying and the rising" concerns the rebirth of gods, I think.
* Anna's incantation translates roughly to "darkness, darkness, darkness."
* Anna's poison includes wolfsbane (Aconite) and moonflower seeds (datura).
Thomas

art by carlie

*I never got to see her, not up close. Never got to hold her.*

Thomas is a minor character in *Mabel*.

## Season One

Thomas is first referred to as The Visitor, who asks Anna Limón how to get back to town several times. He then continuously mouths *get out* at her, over and over.

He comes back a few weeks later and tells Anna his story. He had come to the Martin house lost years before and met Lily Martin. She had invited him inside and, though he never got to meet her, Thomas became the father to Mabel Martin. He cared about his daughter, but was now stuck in the Underhill, leaving him to die and be unable to escape; thus, when Lily died, Mabel's care was placed on Sally Martin. He tells Anna (in Spanish so the House cannot listen) that she needs to find a door, which eventually leads to her actions in Legacy and Underworld.

More information on Thomas can be found if you purchase *Mabel: A Year of Letters*.

## Trivia

* Thomas went to law school to study *stupid law for stupid people*, according to Becca De La Rosa.
* Thomas is the curator's dearest favorite character. Don't tell all the others.
* According to Maybell Marten, Thomas "tries very hard to love 'Mabel', but cannot quite get there in a true way."
