So her job was to travel with the elves in case hockey stick is helpful in driving beasties back, then wait for Merlin to give him a 2 second summary of the plot?
I think “invisible to all who’d keep you from going home” is about the spell, not the description of the spell’s effect. The wraiths won’t be able to see Nicole is protected, but Nicole herself will still be visible.
Getting killed by the Nightmares was the most probable outcome. Should Felicity have read the spell a few minutes later (and with the Dreamland/Wakeworld time difference it could have been hours) and she’d be beast chow. Since there’s little doubt Merlin could figure things out himself, or with a little help from the Lady of the Lake, that’s what must have been Mr. Rightful King’s plan.
We also have the King and the Queen of Elves surrounded and hopelessly outnumbered at the central portal after playing that stupid empty pot joke for no readily apparent purpose. Well, maybe Dan manages to get rid at least of those two.
Daniel didn’t know Abaddon was clustered around Merlin’s tree. Although perhaps he should have guessed. I imagine Nicole was supposed to go there and see if she could wake Merlin up, perhaps with some magic Niviene had devised. The only way sending Titania and Oberon to storm the castle… I mean, the Portal makes sense is if Daniel thinks Gil will have no choice but to agree to his deal, or if he’s got a card up his sleeve. Given the tactical brilliance Dan’s shown so far, I suspect the latter.
Each of the brothers probably had a lamp on the nightstand, so there should be at least one, and perhaps other sports implements like a lacrosse stick, baseball bat, tennis racket, etc. If all else fails, she can go to the garage and get a hammer or tire iron. From the kitchen, she might be able to get a cast iron skillet, which would work better than a lamp and is re-usable.
Maybe she could stop off and save Titania and Oberon, too. It will be on the way, she’s got the equivalent of a Cloak of Invisibility around her, Abaddon doesn’t know she’s coming… Considerable potential for hilarity, there..
Nicole, Merlin and Niv are currently in France. Unless Merlin’s magic recreated the portal at the pond near the house she won’t be going back that way. Though theoretically Nicole could go the way Niv came and end up in the bathtub, so I wonder why Merlin told her to retrace her steps.
Merlin: She’s finally gone!
Niviene: Ha, ha, what a sucker! That wasn’t a protection spell… that was 12 herbs and spices, I could smell them from here!
Merlin: She’ll make a fine nightmare meal. Now lets go conquer the world before Abaddon does.
Nighmare beast angrily approaches sleeping Dan. Suddenly he smells something. He begins to drool, as he hungrily runs towards the scent and falls down a set of stairs and breaks his neck. Nicole runs around him and up the stairs to sleeping Dan.
Suddenly Dan chomps on her hand. She screams. He wakes up, says “Sorry. I had this strange dream about a juicy steak”. He begins to sniff Nicole… “My, you smell delicious”.
Nice fade out there. And Nicole seems fascinated with the effect. It’s got to be putting a whammy on her intellectual’s brain. =)
What do you mean, “This is not science?”
Yeah! Nichole gets to go save her boyfriend – again!
When Nicole gets back hoe,perhaps the wraiths there won’t be able to see her?!?
When Nicole gets back home,perhaps the wraiths there won’t be able to see her?!?
Soooo, since now, she will be invisible in school?
Only to those who would harm here.
Hmmm, these days that’s probably nearly everyone 🙁
Hope she remember which portal to go through when she gets back to Egypt.

Wonder if there are enough lamps left in the house.

Wait, isn’t the pool near the house? Isn’t there a badie inside the house? How does this help her, and Dan, exactly?

Merlin turns back to Niviene: “OK, she’s gone: Let the snogging resume!!”
*snicker snicker*

Perhaps Niviene will now remember about leaving Dan alone and the magic plant unprotected.

Niviene: Ha, ha, what a sucker! That wasn’t a protection spell… that was 12 herbs and spices, I could smell them from here!

And meanwhile, the Nightmare beast has torn Dan’s throat out. I’m not sure how I feel about that.
How is this France? I thought Merlin’s tree was in the back yard. >confused<
It makes more sense if it is France though…
I was being literal. Teachers ARE keeping students from going home.
