Crystal Heart

The Wave Master presents the Crystal Heart as the prize at the center of the maze, a gift to those who have been waiting CFF E5·00:03:23. Aabria says that every Bloom there is a prize and a title, and that all it normally represents is who is led out to lead the first dance at the ball at the climax of the Bloom CFF E5·00:04:15. She adds that over long millennia it has become a sign of being favored by fate and fortune and held in high esteem by all the fey CFF E5·00:04:15.

The Crystal Heart is the prize of the Bloom, a crystal heart on a chain at the center of the hedge maze CFF E5·00:03:23 CFF E5·00:04:15. In the fifth episode Lou says Squak's goal in the maze is to help Prince Apollo get it, and Andhera asks the hedge to lead him to his sister, who wants to find it CFF E5·01:06:18 CFF E5·01:12:08. Omar has Andhera cast Darkness over the heart, and Aabria says the others are just a group of people groping in the dark, hoping to come up with it CFF E5·01:45:06 CFF E5·01:47:32 CFF E5·01:47:46. Omar says Andhera listens for the hedge's breeze and sneakily pushes the heart into BINX's hands, and Aabria narrates that BINX feels a hand and then something sharp and cold pressed into hers CFF E5·01:52:36 CFF E5·01:53:44. She says BINX knows exactly who pressed it into her hand, because he smells like an oncoming storm and dark water and eroded stone CFF E5·01:54:57. The hedge drops the Darkness, and BINX Choppley, the last member of the Court of Craft, stands at the center with the heart in her hand CFF E5·01:55:17 CFF E5·01:55:33 CFF E5·01:55:49 CFF E5·01:55:55.

In the sixth episode Aabria's recap says Andhera, after artfully removing his sister from the competition, made a way for BINX to win the Crystal Heart and establish her place within the court and the Bloom CFF E6·00:01:17. BINX's letter to Gwyndolin says she has obtained the Crystal Heart in the name of the Court of Craft CFF E6·00:41:58. Aabria says the Court of Wonder had assumed the heart would go to Prince Apollo, because he is due and it is his time CFF E6·01:09:08. In the seventh episode Apollo says he appreciates Chirp's help even though he did not end up with the crystal heart CFF E7·00:49:14. At the masquerade Aabria says that, as the holder of the crystal heart, BINX must open the floor before anyone can dance CFF E7·01:43:32.

In the finale, near the portal, where the Bloom's tokens are being burned as summonings of magic to keep it open, Surena has BINX, thinking of finally being seen and revealing herself and what her court means, burn the heart as her bonus action CFF E10·00:23:11 CFF E10·00:34:08 CFF E10·00:34:19. Aabria calls the Crystal Heart a different artifact, and as it disintegrates BINX hears a sigh of relief and alarm and surprise from the members of her court, stuck and transformed as they are, who know their leader is reaching for them CFF E10·00:34:46 CFF E10·00:34:52.
