New way to dodge the computers listening in: Saying Fuck

[michaelrobinson]

Went from, "Call the office." To "girl, I'm never there" real quick

[marinterry]

I keep forgetting that Elias Bouchard was just a stoner kid with daddy issues, and that Magnus was the real evil mastermind we knew the whole time. It puts into perspective how Gwen didn’t necessarily inherit her manipulative tendencies. They could be all her own.

[Statical]

trevor herbert's a goddamn mp now he's become the life-draining entity

[BooksiBo]

Lena: You are not fit for this job.
Gwen: And I took that personally

[marinterry]

I love that the Magnus Institute is giving more 19th century asylum rather than spooky library in this one.

[CamilleChauTempsDesCerises]

Gwen said "Imma steal this woman's job" and sticked to it no matter the trauma of a nearly death experience. We stan a girlboss 💅

[marinterry]

Unrelated but fully thinking about how there could be a Jane Prentiss living her best witchy life in this universe.

My favorite part was when Alice said it’s diversing time and diversed all over the place.

[etienneporras]

Statement of Samama Khalid, regarding his previous experiences with the 'Magnus Institute'. Recorded on the 30th of August 2024. Statement begins:

[jogailejurkonyte]

Gwen wants to girlboss SO BAD but keeps failing miserably and girlosing instead. She is like a literal ’fuck around and find out’ pendulum.
She blackmailed Lena -- Mr. Bonzo
Got carried away with Ink5oul -- Trauma (new AND old!)
Now comes the next upswing with these mysterious e-mails (I’d be willing to bet they’re from Jonah) and I can’t wait to see her crash and burn again. It never gets old! I love my little girlfailure of a Bouchard. <33

[elliesteele]

As some of you may know, as part of the Magnus Protocol ARG, we received a spreadsheet listing the names of seemingly every child entered into the Magnus Institute's program. Interestingly though, while Sam himself shows up here, his classmates Joy and Saul do not.

[elliesteele]

"Good to see the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree." Is Trevor simply showing his appreciation for Gwen and her grandfather, or is he implying that Jeremy, Elias, or another member of the Bouchard family has a history of uncovering shady goings on?

[dungeon_frog]

Alice: "You from anywhere particularly interesting?"
Celia: "You have no idea"
But WE DO Celia, WE DO!!!

Edit: ARCHIVIST ENCOUNTER!!! HOLY SHIT!!

[Yumeki-san]

If this episode scared you, just remember..
You also have a skeleton in you

[elliesteele]

It _can't_ be a coincidence that the Universe in which the Magnus Institute is based in Trevor's home city is the one in which he becomes an MP.

[phoenixthedutchie]

12:18 I keep expecting one of the old cast to pop out and just go

‘JON DROP IT, no NO. No ripping statements out of people. Bad, bad wet cat man’

[shipmcgree]

The last time I was this early, I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. I wish, I wish he'd go away...

[Benjamin-mjpd]

Anyone else concerned with how they all seem to know the Bouchard family.

[liaml.e.]

Trevor Herbert brings the whole "rags to riches" trope to a new, very literal, level.
