Two faeries come into town seeking the Autumn Knight: a redcap and a fellow named Iron Shoes, who has iron shoes he's quite proud of. They create a rawhead to lure the Autumn Knight in, but all they get are the Spartans.
After accusing everyone of being the Autumn Knight, the Redcap fences with Rowena, and is coming close to beating her. So Jeb runs him over with a pickup truck, called in fencing la grande forde. He wasn't ready for that one.
Iron Shoes, meanwhile, tries to stomp Andrew and partially succeeds. Chuck clamps jumper cables on his iron shoes, which doesn't feel good at all. Andrew steals his iron antlers (but Iron Antlers doesn't sound as cool), and Chuck shocks him some more. Iron Shoes burns out and lies still.
Then arrives the Autumn Knight, also known as the King Under the Mountain. He takes Iron Shoes away (but leaves the shoes, which Jeb nabs) after gazing at everyone through his crystal ball. He's a sharing sort, and lets us look through the ball, too. Jeb looks like a fire-scorched anvil; Lana looks like a pair of staring blue eyes. Andrew looks like a pair of green eyes filled with flame (sort of a compromise) and Buck, well, whatever he looks like fills Lana with such terror that she can't clearly remember it afterwards. So there's that to look forward to.
