First-time returning guest Geoff Moonen rejoins the show to make "My Magical World Never Went Away," based on the prompts:
hyper realistic Magical Girls fist-fightingGeoff and Jenna run with a fairly generous understanding of the phrase "hyper realistic," as applying to the magical girl portion and NOT the physics or fist-fighting.

Your magical world never went away.... it's right here!
