Ep 2. And the Sword in the Stone

In season 1 episode 2 of TNT's The Librarians, titled "And the Sword in the Stone," the team of librarians must retrieve the fabled sword Excalibur in order to save the world from impending danger.

The episode begins with a prologue that takes place in medieval England, where a young boy named Galahad is recruited by Merlin to retrieve Excalibur from the Sword in the Stone. Back in the present day, the librarians receive a distress call from the guardian of Excalibur, who informs them that the sword has been stolen and that the thief plans to use it to destroy the world.

The team quickly sets out to find the sword, which has been hidden in a secret location known only to a select few. Along the way, they encounter a group of ex-Knights of the Round Table who are also searching for the sword. The team discovers that the ex-Knights, who were recruited by Merlin hundreds of years ago, are actually immortal and have been searching for Excalibur for centuries. They are determined to find the sword before the librarians do, believing that it holds the key to their eternal life.

As the librarians and the ex-Knights race to find the hidden sword, they encounter various obstacles and challenges, including a booby-trapped cave and a powerful magical force that tries to repel them. Along the way, the librarians discover that one of their own, Cassandra, has unexpectedly developed the ability to see into the future. She uses her new gift to help the team navigate the dangers they face.

Eventually, the team locates the Sword in the Stone and engages in a fierce battle with the ex-Knights to retrieve Excalibur. They succeed in obtaining the sword, but not before one of the ex-Knights makes a startling revelation about Flynn, the leader of the librarians. The team then realizes that the true danger they face may be closer to home than they realized.

Overall, "And the Sword in the Stone" is an action-packed episode that showcases the team's strengths and weaknesses as they work together to save the world.
