The Librarians - '...and the Fangs of Death'

"This can only end brilliantly!"

With the ultimate battle 'twixt good and evil in its opening stages, Flynn has a dream which seems to point at the critical player being Charlene, the Library's erstwhile accountant. He and Eve track Charlene to a Mayan cult's temple, where they are worshipping her as a goddess thanks to some mystical malarkey she's pulled off to make them think she's a Mayan goddess (which is a bit creepy, really.) Unfortunately, the cult are then wiped out when Apep drives them to infighting and kidnaps Charlene. asked why she is so important, Jenkins explains that Charlene is a Guardian; the first Guardian to the first Librarian, the now departed Judson.

Flynn tries to use the Annex Door to track Charlene, but his hack doesn't hold. The four Librarians make it through to a supercollider bunker in Canada, but Eve is locked out, eventually arriving outside the facility with Jenkins. While the Librarians struggle against unstable reactors and Egyptian werewolves led by Anubis, Eve and Jenkins encounter Apep himself, possessing a guard in order to ensure that all the Librarians are in place before springing his trap. The Librarians must face an all-but unbeatable foe, with Flynn starting to fall to pieces when it looks as if Charlene may already be dead. While they eventually emerge victorious, the cost is high, and although Flynn confides in Eve that the last battle is upon them, he leaves her behind for her own protection and sets out to seek for Charlene alone.

MVL of the Week

In a somewhat dark episode, Ezekiel can usually be relied on to bring the fun, but this week he's infected with Anubite lycanthropy and acts as the inside man in the pack even as he heads towards an irreversible transformation. Fun Ezekiel is great, but there's something about serious Ezekiel that nails LotW (see also '...and the Point of Salvation'.)
