## Plot

The episode starts with an angel named Raphel warning Barborah and Pauline of the Magic Slayer who has just escaped from Tarturus and is sucking all the magic from angels and demons.  He is afraid that he might go for the Neutral Plane as well.  Barborah trusts Raphel to tell the heroes about the beast and sends him off to Dead End.

The angel rushes to Dead End and runs into Courtney, who is on her break.  He tries warning her but she keeps ignoring him and blowing him off.  Raphel then goes to the other heroes to warn them instead.  Unfortunately, they don't seem to care either, except Badyah and Pugsley.  Rachel goes into song by telling them about the horrors of the Magic Slayer.  Afterwards, Barney informs him that they'll keep an eye on the elevator just to get him outta here.  Then Raphel leaves.  The heroes stand near the elevator guarding it from the monster.  Norma tells them though that the Magic Slayer is not real and they're all wasting our time.  That is until banging is heard on the elevator door that turns out to be the Magic Slayer himself.  He claims that he smelled magic from Pugsley's magical wings.  He attempts to catch Pugsley but the others try protecting him.  Courtney gets frightened and teleports away.  While the others fend him off.  While he has them all trapped, Sam knocks on the door telling Badyah that they are going to meet up for lunch.  But he hears their yelps for help and barges in Dead End.  Sam takes a stake and strikes the Magic Slayer in the face, making him bleed.  Unfortunately though, this gets him angry and he takes Sam, breaks his neck, killing him.  Much to the Magic Slayer's amusement, Badyah becomes heavily angry, takes the stake Sam had, and strikes him across the eye, giving him a nasty scar.  While flailing his body around, he strikes Norma and gives her a scar too.  While the heroes are trapped by the beast, he demands where Pugsley is and they say they don't know.  Just when he is about to kill them all, Courtney shows up and lures him to follow her.

Courtney runs into the hall as the Magic Slayer runs after her.  At one point she is almost stripped of her magic but escapes quickly to the Hall of Mirrors where the Magic Slayer finds her.  After escaping the Hall of Mirrors, Courtney runs into the second floor hallway where Pugsley and Corduroy trap the Magic Slayer with ropes.  As they triumph, he quickly gets up and sucks Pugsley and Corduroy’s magic, leaving Courtney alone with the monster.  As he is about to take her’s, Cahatel and the Guardian Angels emerge from Courtney’s body.  Cahatel, with her angelic magic, traps the Magic Slayer back in Tartarus and turns everyone’s magic back to them.  After the angels merge with Courtney again, her, Pugsley and Corduroy return back to the main entrance.

Hours later, the heroes sit on the curb of Dead End as Barborah and Pauline make sure everything is okay.  Norma tries apologizing but Pauline lashes out at her.  Then she hops away leaving Barborah with all six of them.  Disappointed, Barborah tells them that they’re closing Phoenix Parks temporarily which meant Barney, Pugsley, Courtney, Gord, and Diablo couldn’t stay there for a while.  After she leaves, Norma tries apologizing to Badyah, who is extremely distraught over Sam’s death.  Badyah lashes out at all of her friends and storms off home.  Barney tells Logs he’ll meet him at his car after he packs his stuff up with Pugsley.  Courtney tells Corduroy to pack their stuff too.  While they’re about to leave, Barney and Pugsley say good-bye to Courtney but Norma stays and asks where they’re all going.  She claims that she and Corduroy are going somewhere in the Multi-Plane, Diablo is going back to his family, and so is Gord (even though he’s never been to see his family before).  As they all say they’re last good-byes to Norma, they enter the elevator and leave.

Later that night, Barney arrives at home with Pugsley and Logs (who decides to stay with him for a while).  Courtney says good-bye to Gord and Diablo as they leave to their own families while she and Corduroy make their way to Downtown Necropolis.  And Norma, who is still at Dead End, takes the stuff she had with her and leaves through the elevator.  Badyah, on the other hand, is at home sobbing heavily in her room and starts singing a particular song which concludes the end of the episode and season by panning up into the night sky.
