Mulgarath and Redcap prepare to make the potion for the upcoming night. In the woods, Mulgarath violently berates Redcap for not bringing all of the book, as most of the information in the stolen pages were useless, but he is pleased by when he discovers that one of them has information that tells them how to break the protective circle by moonrise. Suddenly, Mulgarath's goblins attack them and steal several pages from the book before they are driven off. However, Arthur is being held captive by Sylphs, a type of fairie. Lucinda tells them that they need to find Arthur Spiderwick and have him destroy the book. They are pursued by a mole troll and only narrowly escape it when it is struck by an oncoming vehicle.
