But can they acquire a new one BEFORE the next episode? If the character has a Weapons ability, it could be a simple contest using that ability against a suitable resistance. Do they have a spare weapon to lend a friend? Likewise.

Yes, the problem is, that starts as Magic Sword 12, which is not much good.
If the character had a Weapons 1W ability, perhaps they could be allowed to change the name of that ability to Magic Sword to reflect the change in their equipment.
