The Trial
Trapped in a parallel universe, office temp Brian Weaver has been locked up and charged with triggering the Snail Wars. Steg opts to represent him in court, persuading Brian to face Trial by Combat with a terrifying warrior named Radnok. Barbara has abandoned soothsaying to become a blacksmith, Herman's cooking rotten fish and Howell has moved into the cat retrieval business, which involves first kidnapping the cats. Can the gang free Brian before he faces certain death at the hands of Radnok?
Magic Darts
Keen to protect himself from further harm, Brian takes a crash course in magic from Howell. Obviously, this lands him in even greater danger. Back in The Jug and The Other Jug, Steg accidentally becomes a father, Barbara loses her only soothsaying client and Herman nails a dartboard to the pub wall. Unfortunately, this attracts the attention of the Fairies, who soon become obsessed. The only way to remove them is to orchestrate a showdown, with high stakes and Barbara stepping up to the oche.
The Party
Looking to make new friends, Brian heads to a trendy - but exclusive - new bar that's opened by Munty docks. Surely his clip-on tie will impress the doorman? Barbara bumps into an old school friend, who's now a successful businesswoman. She offers a rare magical object to Howell and a lucrative property deal to Barbara. It's almost too good to be true. While Brian proves a massive hit with the bar's cool clientele, he begins to realise that these people are not quite what they seem.
Pear Fair
It's Munty's famous Pear Fair and Herman's favourite time of year. Who knows, The Jug and The Other Jug might even attract some new customers…

Meanwhile, Barbara is desperate to take advantage of a rare opportunity to get into the Seers' Guild while Howell is under pressure from Slasher Morgan to fix a high-stakes card game. If he fails his life won't be worth living.
