Magic Mirror

In Michigan, Steve begs the gang to try jumping to another dimension, and a presence in Buck's mirror inspires an unlikely pilgrimage.

Tropes present in this episode include:

Arbitrary Skepticism: The whole reason French began to doubt the OA is because he found books related to her story, but he continues to doubt her ever after Abel reveals she didn't have them while telling the story.
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: French is convinced that the movements only stopped the gunman because they confused him, not because they had any innate magical properties.
Nice Girl: Sonia, a Goodwill employee, offers to the let the Crestwood group stay in her father's church while they wait to Rachel to contact them again through Buck's mirror.
Our Ghosts Are Different: Buck sees an apparition of Rachel in his mirror.
The Reveal:
- Abel reveals that he and Nancy bought the books French found under the OA's bed after she finished telling her story.
- French has a hook up with a man, then comes out to Steve.
- While visiting a media, the team receives another message from Rachel: BBA has to travel to the other dimension.
Sixth Ranger: Steve's girlfriend, Angie, has essentially joined the group.
Thought You Were Dead: Back in the original universe, Prairie's body is left behind and everyone believes she's dead.
Undying Loyalty: Steve still believes in Prairie after her supposed death and wants to find a way to join her in the alternate dimension.
