"A Little Night Magic" is the fifth episode of Gotham Girls.
Plot
The thugs annoy Zatanna
Walking home from a late-night performance, Zatanna is suddenly accosted by a mugger—but, casting a spell, she turns his gun into a snake. Moments later, she is nearly run over by a careless truck driver, and winds up cutting the truck in half. Then a gang of punks surround her. As one absentmindedly flicks a cigarette away, they begin to taunt her, then to throw her hat around, at which point she finally loses it and turns them all into frogs. Finally, she sees that the man's cigarette has set a building on fire, and promptly puts it out with a well-placed spell on a nearby fire hydrant.
Zatanna successful mission to extinguish a fire in a building.
Arriving safely at her hotel, the doorman warns Zatanna about how dangerous it is for her to walk around late at night. Her response is to pull a rose from behind his ear, deciding that "I guess I just live right".
Interactive Segment
At the end of the episode, Zatanna's backwards-spoken spells can be replayed with captions, then translated when the cursor is run over them: "skrej eopceb sdoat" (jerks become toads), "nug emoceb a ekans" (gun become a snake), and "kcurt, tilps ni owt" (truck, split in two). The spell used on the hydrant is not mentioned.
Notes
- This episode is notable in that none of the traditional "Gotham Girls" appear, instead favoring Zatanna, who will return to obscurity until the second season premiere.
- Just as Zatanna arrives at the hotel, the player becomes grainy for a moment.
