The Magicians

HOW/WHEN & WHERE TO WATCH: 9 p.m. on SYFY

The eccentric drama's latest musical episode is "crazier" than last year's melodious one, says EP Sera Gamble. "It involves way more psychotropic drugs and hair bands of the '80s," adds EP John McNamara. In the power ballad- and lullaby-filled outing, Margo (Summer Bishil), deposed High King of Fillory, ventures into the desert to find a weapon to save Eliot (Hale Appleman), who's possessed by an ancient monster; when she starts tripping on lizard, music and lyrics pervade her quest. "It became a labor of love," says Bishil of her spotlight hour, where Margo also confronts the patriarchy and her inner darkness. "It reminded me why I love acting so much. It was intoxicating." — Chancellor Agard
