* [[spoiler: Marina-23 may have made a big mistake coming to the main universe. After all, Marina had a crapload of enemies before she died. What if one of them come after her?]]

** Ember says, he knew about his circumstances and barred him entrance, seeing him as "defiled", which actually lead him to becoming the Beast.

* In season two, a point is made about Marina being all alone, with no one to help her. One wonders where her group of followers went, until you remember that Marina killed Kady's mother. That action probably caused everyone, even Pete, to pull a ScrewThisImOuttaHere on her. That would explain her apology to Julia at the rehab center and later helping her: she was lonely.
* Julia is pretty close with Kady. After all, they have both betrayed people they care about (Quentin and Penny), both left Brakebills in bad ways due to their connections with the hedge witches and both were screwed over by Marina. Also, Kady is a mirror to Julia: she is what would have happened if Julia was unlucky enough to have no one to truly take care of her for most of her life (Kady was basically sold into slavery). Julia, on the other hand, is what would have happened if Kady was allowed to have a relatively normal life, even though Julia dealt with emotional neglect most of her life. Meanwhile, Julia and Margo hate each other for that very reason: Julia is Margo with a larger sense of entitlement and a tendency to make decisions that hurt others, and Margo is Julia without the massive trauma weighing her down and has the ability to consider her friends' welfare. However, they both have a tendency to go for extreme revenge: [[spoiler: Julia helped Marina put Quentin in a coma after he refused to help get her into Brakebills, and Margo declared war on Loria for what amounted to a bad prank.]]

* In the first episode, Dean Fogg snaps at Quentin and yells "DO SOME GODDAMN MAGIC!" It seems extremely out of character for him, considering that he is always calm and composed in even the worst situations. But then we find out about the [[spoiler:time loop; this is the ''fortieth'' time he has seen Quentin awkwardly play with his cards during the test, so he's sick of it]].

* What if [[spoiler: the creature that was supposed to stay in the castle possessed Eliot as revenge for shooting him in order to save Quentin?]]

* Considering his role as the BigBad in season two, one has to wonder if Ember knew what would happen when [[spoiler: he gave Julia back her memories involving her rape and the deaths of her friends at the hands of Reynard...]]

* In the Underworld orientation video, the speaker is some apparently random old guy sitting in a comfortable chair in front of a fire, petting his big fluffy dog. That's Hades and Cerberus.

* The Beast being [[spoiler: Martin Chatwin]] makes sense once you think about it. Of all the children, he was the one Fillory rejected after a while. Maybe, since time works differently in Fillory, [[spoiler: the land sensed what he would become]].

** Elliot is a sex-crazed hedonist inmate who will do anything for some drugs.

* Penny's hatred of Quentin comes from the fact that he can always read Quentin's thoughts. However, that could go deeper than that: Even though he suffers from depression,Quentin seems to be more of an open person in general than Penny, who is guarded around everyone else due to his abilities(with the exception of Kady). Being around someone who is able to connect better to others can be irritating to someone who basically has to protect himself all the time.

** Julia is exactly like she was before she found out about magic; happy and well-adjusted at Yale while engaged. [[spoiler:Of course, since this is the real Julia, she probably chose to appear that way, and it doesn't say much about Quentin]].

** Dean Fogg is a well-meaning doctor who nevertheless isn't very helpful. Most importantly is probably the fact that Quentin used the psychologist from the first episode to fill the "evil doctor" role, when it would have been simpler to put the Dean into that role. The evil doctor even has his office.
