Ambush at Torus Filney is the 8th episode of W.I.T.C.H. It first aired March 5, 2005.

Summary

Phobos and Cedric start a rumor about the Seal of Phobos only to trap Caleb with a sand monster called Sandpit (Wild sand that sucked in himself all those who approached and him) to find out whether there is a spy in the castle or not. In the B-story, W.I.T.C.H. go to have a performance at the school, but after discovering Caleb is in danger, they create Astral Drops. After the real girls leave, the Astral Drops ruin the performance. The guardians rescued Caleb and turned the sand in to glass and made it possible for the villagers to leave in peace and for the children to play on the sand glass.
