Episode 212 - Ramifications

Josh uses Hakuna Matata to his advantage; Eliot and Quentin hassle a Canadian for a clock; Julia trusts / needs Kady, and Penny and Sylvia find out the poison in Poison Room is literal.

Episode 211 - The Rattening

Quentin and Julia travel to the Underworld via Dragon (totally jealous), Penny and Kady invent inceptisex (could take it or leave it), Eliot gets cockblocked by everyone-in-Fillory-turning-into-rats (oof, no thanks!), and Margo finally reveals where Fen was taken (but was it worth it?!). Happy Rattening to all who celebrate <3 No Sidekicks is a rewatch podcast chronologically discussing SyFy’s “The Magicians” one episode at a time.

Episode 210 - The Girl Who Told Time

This episode has everybody. Eliot plans his wedding to King Idri, while keeping a watchful eye on Fen and Margo (who are totally not seeing people, what are you talking about??). Kady and Penny search for an overdue Library book, which has consequences much worse than your ordinary late fees. Quentin helps Julia find herself, but not before getting high with Josh. It wouldn't be The Magicians if we didn't find some way to talk to Alice (alternate dimensions ooooh).

Episode 209 - Lesser Evils

It's the first (and hopefully not last) musical episode, baby! Tune in for Kady, Penny, and Julia's crimes, Quentin's attachment-to-Alice issues, and Margo and Eliot strategically spreading out the lines in a Les Misérables ensemble song.
