The arc begins with a flashback to a point before Maggie left for Toronto, shortly after Blake had done so. She begins her day at St. Sabastian school by capturing a goblin named [[Buttsack]] when she runs into [[Lola Duchamp]], who tells her to follow after her to the office. Maggie tries to be cordial, to a point, but Lola constantly reminds her of the fact that she murdered, and makes it clear that she sees Maggie as lower than the other practitioners. The argument peters out as they arrive and she makes it clear she wants a meeting with Maggie later on and promises protection for the duration.

At the office they find [[Briar Girl]], who the principal wants to see in his office since she hadn't been attending classes all semester. Maggie uses a [[Goblin Ear]] to listen in until Lola interferes. In class she received a D as she felt the stares of the Duchamps and Behaim students there, accusatory due to her murdering Molly.

After class she meets with Lola and Briar Girl, as well as [[Penelope Duchamp]], [[Joanna Duchamp]], [[Chloe Duchamp]], [[Lea Duchamp]], [[Gavin Behaim]], [[Craig Behaim]], [[Owen Behaim]], [[Padraic|Patrick]], Evonne, and Keller. The meeting is because they want her to stay uninvolved because she was on the verge of becoming a problem, with Gavin stating that vote of execution was supposed to be a warning because she sent Goblins after him after he tested her without her consent.

Penelope states the meeting is because they will be the next generation of the council and they want to give her a bit more power in exchange for staying uninvolved with the upcoming wedding and the events in Toronto. But, more importantly, they want her to stay away from Blake. She doesn't consent, citing that she finds him interesting and at least upfront about how twisted things are with him and his circumstances, but states she'd think about it as Patrick offered to walk her home before shedding his [[Glamour]] and questioning her about how she sees him until she asks him to wait while she handles something in exchange for a favor. He agrees, with the favor being he would teach her some things.

Maggie then visits the spot where she killed Molly and offers her blood, the token offering and the power enough to keep her [[Ghost]] tethered to the world. She then recounts her activities of the day to the ghost.

A few days later Padriac offers to loan her his power, so long as she considers going to Toronto for the contest, and gives him one item from her bookbag. He took her name off a test paper and thus claimed her identity, stripping it away from her. When she pursued him to the train and bus station, she found he had set all the goblins she had captured free, and gave them articles of clothing, the only condition being that they couldn't hurt her until she stopped reading the note.

When she fled from the goblins, [[Buttsack]] included, she bumped into [[Sandra Duchamp]] who warded them away and offered her sanctuary for the night. When morning came Sandra offered her more advice and showed her how to check her ties to the world before giving her a weapon to defend herself. Sandra informs her that without more solid connections to tether her to the world, the connections she still possesses will slowly degrade as Padraic takes over them, and she will "fall through the cracks". Maggie then set off to see [[Crone Mara]], only to find a little girl in her place. While inside her home she was tested by the little girl, who was then revealed to be Mara, who would have killed her if she failed. Mara refused to make a deal with Maggie, and in fact stated that she absolutely "never" would.

She then visits [[Eva]] and [[Andy|Andy's]] home, where she is confronted by an armed Eva until her brother arrives. She asks for weapons so she can defend herself and Andy consents so that she doesn't hold any offense against Eva for attacking her with a crossbow. Maggie then heads to [[Johannes]]' territory, ambushed by Buttsack again, only for her to incapacitate him using the weapons gifted to her, before dragging him off into Johannes' demesne.

Inside, she forces Buttsack to swear an oath to serve her for a year, binding him to her, before meeting some kids inside of a middle school. She discovers that they're just vestiges and explains it to them, before [[Johannes]] shows up and offers to help her condition if she was willing to assist him in taking [[Jacob's Bell]]. He then gave her a day to decide, and a phone to call her mother.

She then visits Molly's ghost once more, before coming to the decision to claim a demesne, and returning to Johannes to get some equipment. The two then get into a discussion about power and discuss how Johannes came about his, as well as how she lost her ability to swear, for knowledge of how to seal away superior goblins. However, this goblin used her words to actually inflict damage as well. While she refused to become his ally at the time, she did agree to remain cordial before [[Faysal Anwar|Faysal]] transported her out and she caught a glimpse of his true form.

In McEwan Park she then bombed the shack several goblins were inhabiting using a device Andy had given her, and used the Goblin Blood to make a circle with chains and chalk to perform a modified demesne ritual to claim a new identity. She remained in the circle for some time, awaiting challengers.

[[Sandra Duchamp]], [[Johannes Lillegard]], [[Padraic]] (who expressed renewed interest in her), [[Crone Mara]] (who saw this as a means of making her suffer), and [[Rose Thorburn Junior]] claimed 'no contest', finishing the ritual. Upon the ritual ending, Maggie then asked Rose where [[Blake Thorburn]] was, revealing that she was unaffected by the [[Abstract Demon]] Ur erasing his [[connections]].
