Summary

Phobos and Cedric start a rumor about the Seal of Phobos only to trap Caleb with a sand monster called Sandpit (Wild sand that sucked in himself all those who approached and him) to find out whether there is a spy in the castle or not. The guardians rescued Caleb and turned the sand into glass and made it possible for the villagers to leave in peace and for the children to play on the sand glass. In the B-story, W.I.T.C.H. go to have a performance at the school, but after discovering Caleb is in danger, they create Astral Drops. After the real girls leave, the Astral Drops ruin the performance.
