You know what's funny, I actually wrote a scene about the characters discussing magic just the other day before seeing this, not quite the same thing but funny timing! Ashley (and Maya) will go pretty far for a prank, lol.
The really funny thing is that there was a different Metatron scene not long back that also had her talking them both up (mostly). Maybe we do share a brain cell, lol. Metatron may not get along super well with Ashley, but they do respect each other.
