* BagOfHolding: Kady has to find a bag that's bigger on the inside and does so at a hedge witch black market via a ChainOfDeals. We don't get to see it in action, however, as it's handed off to Baba Yaga offscreen. Also discussed:
-->'''Kady:''' I'm looking for a Bag of Holding... whatever that is.\\
'''Kareem:''' It's a ''Series/DoctorWho'' kind of thing. A bag that's bigger on the inside.\\
'''Whitley:''' Actually it's a [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]] thing.

As Kady is billed as a main and Fen and Zelda are major supporting, I think this fits A Day In The Limelight better
->''"All I'm saying is you think you've seen stories like this before, so you can guess what's going to happen... who's important and who isn't. But that's because you are trapped in your POV. You have a classic case of White Male Protagonism, Derek, and a Librarian simply can't have that. But that's why these books are so important. They're such a gift. They... they can allow you to see other points of view. And once you start seeing that, you'll find that the story doesn't end the way you think, and the most important characters aren't who you expect."''

* ADayInTheLimelight: The episode follows Fen, Zelda, and Kady during the events of the past few episodes. Lampshaded repeatedly by Penny and Derek, as the latter sees them as side characters and Penny keeps steering him towards the bigger picture: these side character subplots are going to be hugely important. Also lampshaded by Kady, who says she is tired of being a "sidekick" to Quentin and the others and wants to do something for herself.

This in turn convinces the Library to be more aggressive with the hedge witches to protect themselves. To her credit, Kady does at least try to talk the hedge witch responsible out of taking rash action, but she doesn't listen.
