# Recap Notes: MAGP 11 “Marked”

Spoiler Warning: this is a purely selfish exercise in remembering what the hell happened last season (from someone caught up thru MAGP32, 3/6/2025 & all of The Magnus Archives). No promises I’ll keep up with it.

Summary: The secret to perfect skin isn’t CeraVe, it’s a hundred odd years in a grave by the seaside.

Marked.
Jonny Sims (derogatory).
Okay, there’s a slight tone of admiration in there, but that word after TMA? I can hear how pleased you are with yourself and I can glare at you while I respect the craft.
So.
marked (TMA)
/märkt/
1. a physical or metaphysical scarring via interaction with a fear entity
marked (MAGP 11)
/märkt/
1. Celia via the means she made it to this reality, calling her back
2. Sam. Doomed by Alice’s (again) oddly prescient joking:
ALICE
…I do get it. Facing your past is tough. Finding out there isn’t any past left to actually face… that’s even tougher.

SAM
Yeah.

ALICE
But at the end of the day, when all’s said and done, you just have to choose…
(Celia has no past to go back to. Celia is left with an impossible choice, and when push comes to shove… well, Sam loses. And the stakes are worse than pain au chocolate instead of cinnamon swirl)

3. Alice, targeted by [ERROR], already feeling watched
4. The tattooed skin. Obvious addition is obvious, but it still gets a mention.
5. Enjoying fame or notoriety. Perhaps to an obsessive extent where you start digging up graves for inspo, Ink5oul.
6. The doomed Gordon J. RIP if you were lucky enough to end up dead.
7. Gordie’s inbox, as something or someone marks it undeliverable as soon as he sends his last missive about the call of the sea.
8. Mr. Bonzo’s victim via envelope.
What can’t be marked? Cases as connected. Not allowed. No-can do. That’d actually be helpful, and we can’t have that in the civil service. Gertrude, you would have loved it.
And of course I’m hearing echoes, once more, of Needles’ “Oh the land is definitely marked now, same as me.” When I have more time to sleep on 32 I’m going to have to try and fit that into this looming worldview, because as we’re learning: the land can be marked (and transformed) too.
Did I miss anything?
