Box 2567, with an additional label indicating that within the box is “B.F Candle #2.” There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that “B.F.” means Black Flame candle and that the box contains a second Black Flame candle. In the end credit scene, Cobweb jumps onto Gilbert’s desk, before leaping onto the bookshelf behind it where a series of wooden boxes are lined up, including the one he draws attention to. While Binx isn’t in Hocus Pocus 2, Cobweb certainly filled the void left behind by the adorable black cat, and it seems fitting that the feline should be the one to close out the film and tease what might be on the horizon for the newly minted franchise. RELATED: ‘Hocus Pocus 2’ Summons Songs, Sisterhood, and Seasonal Joy | Review What is Hocus Pocus 2’s End Credit Scene?Īfter the Sanderson Sisters sing their swan song-a.k.a a cheeky rendition of “The Witches Are Back”-the credits come to a close on Gilbert’s magic shop (housed where the Sanderson Sisters once lived) as his beloved black cat, Cobweb, meanders down the hallway to a store room. It’s a surprisingly somber and touching end to the Sanderson Sisters' story-but the door to Hocus Pocus is far from shut. ![]() ![]() ![]() But, of course, she doesn’t want to be separated from her sisters and in the end, she relinquishes control and lets herself be turned to shimmery dust so she can join her sisters in whatever afterlife has been afforded to them. As the 17th-century flashbacks revealed, their descent into witchy mayhem was sparked by Winnie’s desire to stay with her sisters in the face of great adversity, and in the end, their unity is what she has to sacrifice. Rather than granting them their long-coveted wish, Winnie achieves her dream at the cost of her sisters’ lives. Unfortunately, once Winnie’s beloved spellbook chooses Becca and their spells go awry, Winnie learns that all magic comes at a price, and this time it’s a steep price to pay. In order to achieve their desperate attempt at eternal youth and immortality, Winnie (Midler) and her sisters once again seek out the ingredients they need to complete their spell, and this time their enemy comes in the form of Cassie Traske ( Lilia Buckingham), the descendant of the reverend who hung the sisters. While the original Hocus Pocus felt like the end of the story, there was still plenty of room for Disney to revisit the sisters and their story and Hocus Pocus 2 proves that you can smartly lean into nostalgia with a legacy sequel, without sacrificing quality-though there definitely are sacrifices! You can’t have Hocus Pocus and the Sanderson Sisters without some casual, garden-variety child sacrifices. ![]()

You will have to decide if you want to pull the switch and check it out or go straight to the fuse panel. Sometimes the problem can be loose wiring or corrosion in the switch and not the fuse. The first thing to do is to check the power switches a couple of times to make sure the component is not working. Make sure to replace it with the same rating and not lower. If it doesn’t light, you know you have a bad fuse and you just go to your stash and find the right one to replace it. A fuse tester looks like a screwdriver but instead of a solid handle, it will have transparent coloring and alight inside the handle. If you can’t tell if the fuse is blown or not, you need to use the tester to make sure. Or the fuse interior strip barely cracks that it is hard to see if it has blown or not. The design of the fuse can shield your eyes from the smoke gray color that normally appears when a fuse blows. This has happened to many people over the years. The reason for saying this is that on some fuses they may not look like they have blown. You will have to have a tester handy when you get to the fuse panel. This is just a clue as there are other electrical issues that cause components to not start. The first clue will be that specific component in your RV or trailer will not work. Some people do not know or can tell if the fuse has blown or not. There is no such thing as a stupid question. It all depends on how the RV makers wire their RVs and trailers. Since those components are in different locations the fuse panel should be closer to the batteries but not always. With all of that said, you should look for the fuse panel somewhere between the battery and the 12-volt components they are protecting. This means you should carry a few spares to make sure you are covered when they blow. It is not a difficult job to do that, just make sure to turn the main power off before making the change. Then you need to keep in the back of your mind that you cannot reset fuses. Some trailer models come with one electrical current and not both but those are usually the smaller ones with few features inside. Then you should be aware that both RVs and trailers have fuses and breakers unless they are wired differently. Do not confuse the two as they are often located, but not always, near each other. One of the first things you should learn about an RV is that breakers are for 110 volts AC and that fuses are for 12-volt DC electrical currents. So you can see that it is not going to be easy all the time to find the fuse box. These answers were for the 2020 Imagine XLS 22RBE. ![]() One answer was in the bedroom, near the floor and facing the kitchen. But finding them may be a bit of a game as one member of a discussion forum posted this same question and he was getting different answers from owners of the same RV model. The two electrical components are often in the same location. Usually, if you find the fuse panel, you will also find the circuit breaker panel. If your owner’s manual doesn’t tell you the exact location, you would have to call the dealer and ask him. Or they may be hidden in a cupboard or under a bed. The different companies find different locations that they think will be the best fit for those models.įor example on some older or even newer models, the fuse panel could be hidden under the RV storage compartment. When RV makers roll out newer models they usually make design changes. This will be determined by the year and model of your RV. ![]() ![]() Hearthstone Asset Management Limited is an appointed representative of Thesis Asset Management Limited which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA Firm Reference Number 114354).

I do not know yet if it is the same in other game modes (e.g. Whereas Crusader had loads of archers on the walls, burning pitch everywhere and that it took me a couple of sieges, I now very much walz in with my knights and finish them off far to easily. However, after I have secure my castle and go on the offensive, I find that my enemies' castles and lords are poorly defended. I enjoy building my castle and think having additional estates is a great new extra. It is also annoying that you have to exit the whole program to make changes to the graphic configurations as you cannot do this under "Settings". When playing the Kingmaker section, I was further frustrated by frequent "freezes" in the game and having to wait for a few minutes at a time whenever I saved a game. With the Crusader game, it was uploaded in the time the your scribe said "Loading". Then to load a previously saved game, another (almost) 5 minutes. For example,out of frustration, I timed how long it took to start the game - I kidd you not, 10 minutes 40 seconds!! Somehow this has improved, I don't know why. Not so much about the game itself and the changes, but about the slowness and sluggishness of the game speed and how much time everything took.
