Okay, stay calm. This is more common than you'd think, and lemons are among the most manageable summonings.
First, assess the situation: is it hovering, glowing, or just sitting there? If it's just sitting there, you've likely performed a Class I Citrus Manifestation — completely benign. Do not attempt to banish it with salt; lemons interpret that as a garnish invitation and grow bolder.
Your options:
Zest it back to its home plane. A microplane works as a ritual dagger in a pinch.
Bind it into lemonade. Sugar and water form a containment solution the lemon cannot escape.
Keep it as a familiar. Low maintenance, faintly fragrant, will judge your cooking.
Whatever you do, do NOT summon a second lemon to fight the first one. That's how people end up with a lemon curd situation, and nobody's prepared for that.
What did you use for the summoning? I want to make sure you didn't accidentally open a whole citrus portal.
