So, Quentin heroically perished in a shower of sparks (a literal blaze of glory) and took Everett with him, as Penny dragged a distraught Alice out of there.
Quentin used his newfound discipline to repair the Seam’s entrance, and threw the bottles in however, that was a sacrificial act because you can’t use magic in the mirror world. This is The Magicians, though, so there was obviously another twist waiting for them.Įverett (Brian Markinson), the head librarian and personification of megalomania who wanted to absorb the monsters and become a god, followed them there and tried to destroy the portal to the Seam. To permanently rid the world of the monsters, Quentin, Alice (Olivia Taylor Dudley), and Penny-23 had to travel to the mirror world and throw them in the Seam, the space between worlds. In the season 4 finale, titled “No Better to be Safe Than Sorry,” the Brakebills gang successfully expelled the murderous ancient monsters from Julia (Stella Maeve) and Eliot’s (Hale Appleman) bodies and bottled them up. Quentin Coldwater (Jason Ralph), the show’s initial protagonist and our entry way into the magical world, died and went to the Underworld tonight - and it was as upsetting as it sounds.
