All these gifts you have given me.
New clothes.
A new home.
With these, I can land on my feet again.
So, for my last wish,
All Powerful Genie,
I'll wish for your freedom.
You mean it?
It's the least I could do
for all you've done for me.
I'll wish you free.
Ah! Thank you!
Thank you, Gary. Thank you so much.
I hope you like it in here.
What's this?
What's happening to me?
I tried to make it very comfy in there.
Enjoy.
For me?
Good morning.
Okay, now that we're all appropriately caffeinated,
we have things to discuss.
- Yes, we do. - Mm-hmm.
- Which is? - Well, Charlie and I think
it'd be a good idea to go over
some of our recent adventures and take stock.
I thought we'd been performing admirably together.
Oh, we have.
But Charlie and Liza are right.
Sometimes it's worthwhile just to check in
before tensions get built up.
And spill out in opportune times.
Ah, like our little angry, demonic friend at the school.
Well, yes, I can see the advantages
of such an endeavor.
And very intelligent to hold
this meeting in a neutral space, Charlie.
It may help to keep more...
extreme reactions in check.
I am sitting right here.
Sound managerial strategy,
one I have observed many times.
But you've never worked with a group before.
No, but now that you are on my team,
I have taken to watching I management videos
on the YouTube.
On your team?
I am the Senior Librarian,
therefore the head of this team.
- Okay, Mr. Senior. - You are not in charge.
You wouldn't have survived the first week
if it weren't for me.
Back for more? Already?
Of course. Hot chocolate is the best,
and yours is the best in the city.
Oh, thank you.
I will send it to you.
Thank you.
No, I'll be there.
I just wish I could find my keys.
Um, miss?
Are these your keys?
Yeah.
I have held the role longest as anyone here.
Okay, Vic, we love you,
but you were in a time bubble
for 175 of those years, I don't think they count.
Even discounting those years,
I had a decade to learn the ropes.
And yes, there are ropes to learn.
And you think you don't have ropes?
You still barely know how to use your phone.
Yeah, and I keep trying to teach you email, but...
That is irrelevant. I have grasped
the responsibility of our station--
Hold on, everyone. "Responsibility?"
Ooh, delicious.
Thank you.
Look, I'm sorry.
I wish you say that to my mother.
Uh, i-- it's your mother.
Um, hello?
Vikram, I'm sorry, but responsibility
isn't often something we associate with you.
Yeah, no.
It's more agent of chaos.
Remember when you got us stuck in medieval times?
You got shot by Cupid's arrow?
You trusted Merlin, and now, Mrs. A
is off somewhere trying to hunt him down.
We all trusted him, and chaos is something
that happens in this job.
You are all wonderful, lovely people,
but you are not yet fully aware of the myriad
a Librarian must face.
If I am to be bound to anyone,
I sometimes wish it was to
a Librarian of more experience.
Throw me the idol! Throw...
Charlie?
Vikram?
What the hell am I doing in Belgrade?
It could be a matter transference.
More likely an effect to the object.
What artifact were you after?
It was the Amazonian Shipibo idol,
I don't think it has teleportation abilities.
It could be multispatial.
Where are Mach's notes on unrelativity?
Wasn't there a teleporting Pope
in the 12th century?
- Ready to go. - All right.
You'll be back in the Amazon in mere seconds.
Sorry for the quick trip, but if I don't get back
Jones is gonna be eaten by a demon anaconda
and Cassie's gonna end up being
the Amazon Queen forever, which--
We should work on discovering
the reason for your sudden appearance.
Oh, no!
Going already? What a shame.
I can't get through.
Is there a force field or...
I just...
No, I can't move further than this spot.
The manual, to the door.
Must be a whole section devoted
to impromptu barriers.
Let's see.
Whoa, here.
- Are you okay? - I just...
What on Earth?
It's like they're tied together.
It will work this time.
It's not gonna work.
It will work this time.
In three...
two...
one go.
Come on!
Get off me.
I told you.
Okay, we took care of everything.
Got the Shipibo idol,
and Cassandra Cillian is no longer Amazon royalty.
She kinda seemed disappointed, though.
Well, she does own several tiaras.
How's things going here?
Well, we're testing certain theories,
making observations.
You two are still stuck together?
Yes.
I fought a snake.
Ezekiel Jones is the man.
Where's my watch?
That would be Ezekiel Jones.
Touche.
Still stuck together?
It seems so.
I'm going to put this in the library.
Don't go anywhere.
That's not going to be a problem.
Guys, did you know that this door
is an Einstein Rosen bridge?
Mr. Jenkins told me.
It's a parallel subspace dimensional portal
that connects via symbolic entryways.
Are you two still stuck together?
- Very much so. - Still stuck together.
- Still stuck together. - Okay, well, we did confirm
that the Shipibo idol does not
have any teleportation
or magic handcuffing capabilities.
Ah! Which means?
Which means you guys did this.
Uh, but we didn't do anything.
The pendulum hadn't gone off. We weren't chasing an artifact.
All right.
What were you doing at that coffee shop?
Ah, we were engaged in a team building exercise,
a ritualistic airing of frustrations
in the hopes of staving off any future issues.
Mmm. They beat you up a little bit.
Yes, indeed. Most unfair.
Uh, it's not fair. You were saying
that you knew more than us.
And were generally better than us.
That's not what I meant at all.
Guys, adjusting to a team, it takes a minute.
All right, you got to figure out how to help everybody grow
while playing to their strengths.
Precisely what I was trying to say.
I knew you'd understand.
What do you mean you knew I would understand?
When we were expressing our frustration...
Mercilessly flogging.
Vikram said it would be nice
if there was a more experienced Librarian around.
Bound.
- Huh? - Bound.
