## Resource

In this concluding Rewind episode on Season Four of The Magicians, Tony sits down with Jason Ralph, Summer Bishil, and Hale Appleman at San Diego Comic‑Con to unpack a finale that changed everything. From rewritten identities to the rise of the Monster, from the cost of restoring magic to the emotional fallout of Quentin’s fate, this conversation explores how the cast processed one of the boldest endings in modern fantasy television.
