The Librarians... 'and the Horns of a Dilemma'

Thank you for not smoking. Wait...

After their eventful recruitment drive, the Librarians in Training face their first mission, against the better judgement of their Guardian. The interns of Golden Axe Foods are disappearing in mysterious circumstances, and their HQ seems to be bigger, and more labyrinthine, on the inside.

'The Librarians and the Horns of a Dilemma' deals with, but does not necessarily resolve, a number of key issues: The trust issues within the team - one of them betrayed the others, another makes no bones that he looks out for number one - the different approaches of the LITs and their military-minded protector, and the continuing influence of the increased presence of magic in the world. Guest stars Tricia 'Cylon Number 6' Helfer as Golden Axe's ruthless CEO and Tyler 'Sabretooth' Mane as the Minotaur maintain the standards of the show so far (if not A-list then certainly upper B-list), with Mane in particular a literal heavyweight presence and a cut above the suit minotaur in terms of intimidation.

The episode also introduces the handy plot book, a volume in which pertinent clippings from around the world appear, as well as a magic back door to save on the Library's air fares.
