Chapters 41-45

The horseflies are causing a bit of a commotion in the courtroom, so Whit and Wisty duck under a table.
Whit asks Wisty if this was her work, and she says it was. Plague over. That was fast.

Whoa, whoa, wait—we spoke too soon. The plague isn't over. In fact, the horseflies have turned into leeches. It's disgusting and Whit is totally into it.
The One Who Is The One appears out of nowhere, and he is not amused.
His Oneness has been observing Whit and Wisty like a stalker, but he's still not satisfied. He wants to know what makes them tick, so they'll have to endure more tests back at the hospital.
There's a small hurricane in the courtroom, and His Oneness is gone. What a drama queen.

The siblings are back in their cell. They receive a visitor. No, not the Visitor—it's their old friend Byron Swain.
Byron informs Whit and Wisty that they've been designated Extremely Dangerous. Which means they'll be executed tomorrow.

Whit asks Byron how he'd feel if his sister was to be executed, and Byron says his sister was a traitor and he turned her in. Oh.
Wisty waves her drumstick at Byron and says "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo." Literally. It's just a joke, but sparks fly and there's a huge boom.

It seems Wisty has turned Byron Swain into a lion. What did Shmoop say about golden retrievers?
Whit helpfully suggests that Wisty change Byron back, so Wisty says the magic words… but nothing happens.
She tries again. This time it works. Well, sort of; now Byron's a weasel. Could be worse.
