Zamira comes to a section of the book that is blocked by the Royal Seal. Unable to get past it without a Royal, Diva plans to force Alex to read it for them. Diva gives Senq (a West Manjipoor thug) and his gang Dark Magic powers to help her mission in Alex's world. Veronica is gathering more suspicions about Alex and Caleb and is happy to oblige when Diva arrives, wanting help getting to Alex. Veronica thought she'd get answers from Diva, but instead gets a dangerous showdown in her backyard. When Alex refuses to help Diva, Caleb comes to save her but gets hurt in the process. Caleb recovers and it looks like he and Alex are growing closer again.
