    The Stone of Wisdom

    First, Alison and Timothy present the story of Yetta Norworthe, a woman who claimed to be a relative of Johannes Kelpius, and to possess one half of the Philosopher's Stone which, according to Norworthe, Kelpius had secured from a serpent-filled cave in India. Next, Octavian returns to discuss the story of the possible faerie woman/unhuman they saw in the spring. Finally, Tyler Strand, Jon and Erin Darby, and Timothy visit a bamboo maze and "find their funny". Episode art is an image of Yetta Norworthe printed in the newspaper from 1909.

He also observed large, red eyes, glaring at him from the trees.
