I know a lot of things have changed around here lately, but in my opinion, that's a sign of growth. And despite our growing pains, I like to think our student body has never been more united.
Alaric

Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right is the seventh episode of the third season of Legacies and the thirty-ninth episode of the series overall.

Summary[]

IT'S YOUR LUCKY DAY — After the Salvatore School runs into some financial difficulties, Lizzie suggests they hold their first fundraiser. While Alaric attempts to work things out with the bank, he puts Kaleb in charge of overseeing the events at the school. Elsewhere, Cleo helps Hope cope with her emotions, while MG seeks help from Alyssa. Finally, when a leprechaun shows up at the school, it might just be what they need to turn their luck around. Josie and Jed also appear.[2]

Plot[]

After welcoming the two new students, Gibby and Cleo, Alaric holds an assembly with the remainder of the student body, where he reveals that they have satisfied the commonwealth charter and therefore can remain open as a school. The students are uneasy about the lack of students at the school, but Alaric assures them that they are doing fine. He passes the assembly to Lizzie, who explains that they will hold a fundraising month to raise funds for the school and make up the losses they have occurred from the lack of students attending the school; she remarks that she is mad about the number of extra-curricular activities the school has had to cut due to their funding issues. Moments later, however, the assembly is interrupted when a letter is delivered revealing that the school owes $91,000 to the commonwealth; this throws the students into a frenzy and Lizzie remarks that they will turn the fundraising month into a fundraising day.

In her room, Cleo talks with Hope, who is mad that Cleo is forcing her to paint for the fundraising, but Cleo tells her that she isn't forcing anything and Hope is free to drop out at any moment. Hope explains that she is blocked and hasn't been able to paint since Landon's disappearance, and Cleo tries to help, citing that they will get through the block together.

Meanwhile in his office, Alaric dresses up to visit the bank and ask for a loan against the school to pay of their debts. Kaleb is disappointed when Alaric turns down his offer of compelling the bank teller to grant them a 0% interest loan over an extended amount of time. Alaric remarks that this is a human problem — admittedly caused by him in his negligence in search of Landon — therefore they will seek a human solution. With this, Alaric tasks Kaleb with supervising the school fundraiser and ensuring no supernatural behavior is used to raise funds.

Kaleb supervises the Salvatore School's car wash, but reminds Jed and the other members of the student body that they are explicitly banned from practicing magic and/or using their supernatural abilities to fundraise. With this, he talks with Lizzie who explains that she is about to fetch her grimoire to speed up the process. Kaleb reminds her that she cannot use magic, but the two are distracted when a rainbow appears over the Salvatore School. With this, Kaleb goes to investigate and finds a Leprechaun on the school's grounds.

In the art studio, Cleo hands Hope the box of Landon's ashes she has been keeping on her nightstand. Hope is reluctant to use the ashes, citing that she will not make a painting from the ashes, but Cleo remarks that she doesn't want her to paint, but to make art. With this, Cleo questions what Hope plans to do with the ashes given she cannot keep them on her nightstand forever. Hope and Cleo get to work on shaping a clay mold with the ashes.

Finding the leprechaun, Lizzie and Kaleb lock it up in a cell and begin to research about it. They find that the pot of gold at the end of a leprechaun's rainbow is fictional, but they are attracted to riches and wealth. As a side effect, however, the leprechaun's presence on the grounds of the Salvatore School attracts many bachelors who bid on the expensive items crafted by the students of the school. Things quickly begin to take a downturn at the school, and Hope confronts Lizzie about what is going on at the school. Lizzie eventually reveals the existence of the leprechaun, but Hope is furious about the fact that Lizzie hid the monster from her. Hope tells Lizzie that there must be a portal open to the Prison World given another monster is here.

In the garden, M.G helps Josie look through the herb garden. Josie reveals that she is looking for an herb that speeds up the time something takes to bake, citing that she has a study date with her new lab partner, Finch. M.G, cautious about the illusion spell wearing off and exposing the ascendant, asks if the herb would work to fix the spell, but Josie remarks that it probably won't work. Nonetheless, when Josie tries one of the plants to test if it is what she is looking for, it is revealed to be the truth herb, causing Josie to make rude remarks about M.G's cooking.

At the bank, Alaric is surprised to meet the employee who will be considering his application for a loan to save the Salvatore School: Dana Lilien's mother, Vera Lilien. The two talk and Vera explains that after Dana's death she and her father split ways and she now works at the bank instead of the pharmacy. She takes Alaric through to her office where the two discuss his application.

Back at the Salvatore School, things become increasingly hostile as the effects of the leprechaun are felt more and more by the students and visitors. Hope realizes that her magic is not working on the leprechaun, therefore the only reasonable way to proceed is to let the leprechaun go and follow it to the portal. Cleo believes this to be a bad idea, but it quickly becomes clear that Hope is not over the loss of Landon and is still holding hope that he may have been consumed by Malivore.

Alaric is surprised and angry when his application is denied by Vera, and cites that they should not be allowing a grudge between their daughters to be affecting his eligibility, but Vera remarks that he simply doesn't meet the criteria and she is not willing to risk the application. Alaric asks if anything can be done to persuade her, and she closes the blinds of her office, propositioning Alaric in return for accepting the application.

M.G. arrives back at his room to find the whole room ransacked. He uses the magic mirror to talk with Alyssa Chang, but she mistakes the situation and believes that he wants to get back together with her. When he corrects her, she reveals that she doesn't do favours for her exes so dropped the illusion spell. When M.G remarks that she didn't need to make the ascendant disappear she laughs, remarking that she didn't, but it would've been a good idea. They are interrupted by Lizzie, who enters remarking that the leprechaun has escaped and has eaten all of the money and some supernatural objects. M.G wonders if the ascendant has fallen prey to the creature.

Hope and Cleo follow the leprechaun to a large car park in the center of Mystic Falls. They decide to split up, and scream if anything out of the ordinary happens. As the two do, Cleo bumps into Alaric, who has heard news of the leprechaun and come to investigate. Cleo tells him that it is a long story he probably won't like, but the two are interrupted when the leprechaun attacks Alaric. Cleo is reluctant to use her magic to aid Alaric, remembering that Hope wants the creature alive, but has no choice when the creature is seconds away from strangling Alaric. She casts a spell that causes the creature to explode, much to Hope's dismay.

Meanwhile, with aid from Ethan, Josie goes to the square to talk with Finch, whom she had stood up for their dinner date earlier that day. She tells Finch that she was so nervous that she got high, but the joke about the magical weed is lost on Finch. Josie tells Finch that she wants to go on a real date, not a study date, and Finch agrees to plan a time during their ride home together.

Alaric and Kaleb talk about their efforts during the day to raise money for the school. When everything seems bleak, Alaric reveals that the leprechaun did have a pot of gold inside it after all and they have been able to settle their debts with the town, and even have some left over.

Meanwhile, Cleo talks with Hope about her anger over the leprechaun. Cleo tells her that she didn't want to kill the leprechaun but saving Alaric is worth more than finding the portal. The two talk, and Cleo tells Hope that all of her family were murdered and that she is the only one left; it is why she hates violence. This isn't enough for Hope, who remarks that she will not rest until Landon is brought back alive.
