Apocalypse? Now?! is the fifth episode of the fifth season of The Magicians and the fifty-seventh episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Zelda reveals that if they throw off the Harmonic Convergence's alignment, it will stop the apocalypse and that they can do this by moving the moon, which would also change the circumstances of magic forever going forward. Julia and Alice speak to a moon worshiper (lunatics) who tells them a spell ritual to speak to the moon to ask it to move. The gang must get "moonbrain" by staying up for 5 days to speak to the moon, and they plan a heist to steal a moonrock from Oren Westbrook, a powerful magician, tech tycoon, and lunatic. Eliot begins to see and hear visions of the Monster. Marina-23 interrupts the heist in order to keep the moon where it is because she has her own plans for casting during the Harmonic Convergence. Eliot and Marina struggle against each other casting to move the moon/keep the moon in place, and as a result, they split the moon in two while Julia declares that, "I think we broke the moon."
