"Magical Thinking" introduces a new character to the Freak Show: WW2 veteran Chester Creb who is also a chameleon salesman, ventriloquist and amateur magician. He's also a bit mentally unstable as we see him manifest a very life-like murdering doll named Marjorie. Despite this, Bette and Dot Tattler are determined to sleep with him.
Meanwhile, the imprisoned Jimmy Darling has no other choice than to take Stanley's advice to raise some money for his legal fees. Unfortunately for Jimmy, that means parting ways with both of his hands.
