    "Pupaphobia" continues with Zatanna discovering a memory long repressed from her childhood on the road... the memory of the night that sadistic puppeteer Oscar Hempel tried to kill her! But while she thought her father's magic cut Hempel's strings long ago, he's back and out for vengeance — and Zee may have no choice but to reverse his curse and set him free to kill again!
