[♪ music playing]

Well, this is the worst day ever.

My application for a pet monkey was denied.

Again.

Did we know Milo applied for a monkey?

Apparently, more than once.

Oh, uh...

Hey, Billie, you got something.

Oh! This is incredible!

Twenty-percent off vinyl fencing.

That is incredible.

No, this is my first piece of mortal mail.

I mean, I know I live here. But for some reason

the "Fence Dudes" knowing I live here

makes it feel more real.

Aw! You're officially a Staten Island girl!

[gasps] Do you know what this means?

She'll learn the lifelong heartbreak of being a Mets fan?

Yes. And, we get to celebrate with a Staten Island makeover!

What's a Staten Island makeover?

[both cackling]

Check it! Giada taught me how to pop my gum

like a real Staten Island jabroni!

[pops gum]

That's not annoying.

You're the best, Giads!

- And you look gorge. - Ah.

You look gorge!

- Mwah. Mwah. - Mwah. Mwah.

[both laugh]

Whoa! Whoa. [laughs]

Excuse me, miss! I, uh... I don't know who you are,

but my wife will be home any minute.

Well, I won't tell if you don't.

[all] Gross.

As much as I love watching my parents flirt with each other,

and for the record I do not,

can we just get on with our wizard lesson?

All right, everybody in the lair.

Billie, are you even gonna be able to do spells with those nails?

Justin, fuhgeddaboudit!

Am I using that right?

Oh. You're a natural, sweetheart.

[tearing up] Now get outta here

before you make me cry off my lashes.

[pops gum]

Today I'll be teaching you a "Back Together Spell."

[pops gum]

If done correctly,

- the spell will... - [pops gum]

Okay, that's enough with the gum.

Sorry.

For later.

As I was saying.

If done correctly,

the spell can put anything back together.

Observe.

What are you doing? That's Mom's favorite vase.

- [vase shattering] - [gasps]

Vasey!

I made that for her!

Don't worry. This spell can fix it, okay?

Watch.

"Mend the cracks, now and forever,

bring it all right back together."

I am gonna smash so much stuff!

I wanna try!

- Oh. - [vase shatters]

That was made with love!

Relax. I'm gonna fix it.

"Mend the cracks, now and forever,

bring it all right back together."

That was weird.

Try again.

"Mend the cracks, now and forever,

bring it all right back together."

What's going on with my magic?

I don't know. Uh...

I have... I'm sure it's fine.

Yeah. Yeah, me too. It's fine.

[clears throat]

There. All fixed.

All right, Milo, you try.

- Yes. - No! No more tries.

Vasey is going back to Mommy's nightstand

where she belongs!

Hey, don't worry.

- Okay? It's probably nothing. - I'm not worried,

I'm not going to freak out over this.

I am freaking out over this.

My magic is fizzling.

Watch.

"Sparks so bright-us, now take flight-us."

[wand fizzles]

Maybe it's your wand.

Have you tried changing the batteries?

There are no batteries.

Well, there's your problem right there. No batteries.

I don't get it.

My magic was working yesterday.

What's changed?

Other than your hair, your clothes, your make-up,

your nails and your mailing address...

nothing.

What if that's it?

What if I've gotten so comfortable

living in the mortal world it's making me lose my powers?

It can't be that.

Maybe you have a cold or something.

One time I got so sick I lost my sense of smell.

Yeah. A cold. That's it. A cold.

- Or... - Nope! I already said,

"That's it! A cold."

Now to figure out how to cure it.

- Hey! Watch it! - You watch it!

I'm the one carrying a precious family heirloom!

Hey, Winter. What 'cha doing?

I was hanging with Billie, but something came up,

so I'm heading home.

Wait. We could do something.

- Really? - Yeah, why not?

Because ever since you became a wizard,

we haven't really hung out.

That changes now.

Let's kick it like we used to.

All right. Yeah. Let's kick it!

Let the kicking it begin!

So...

What 'cha been up to?

Wizard stuff mostly.

You?

Mortal stuff.

Cool.

Hey, have you seen that vase

Roman made me in the first grade?

Wait, you really like that thing?

Oh, no. It's hideous.

One time, I tried to donate it.

Roman found out and I had to buy it back

for $45.

Aw. You're a good mom.

So, how'd the lesson go today?

Good, good. Well,

something a little strange did happen.

Oh, did Milo get his wand stuck in his nose again?

I'm telling you, we need a cone for that kid.

No, it was, uh, it was Billie.

Her magic, like, fizzled out.

She couldn't even cast a single spell.

It's like... It's like she lost her powers.

Well, have you ever heard of that happening?

No. Never.

But I didn't want to freak out in front of her

because I didn't want her to freak out.

- Are you freaked out? - Well, the more that I say "freaked out,"

the more freaked out I'm getting.

So, yeah, I'm starting to feel a little freaked out.

I'm gonna go figure out what's going on.

If I can't get a monkey, I'll just get a magical pet.

No, that one sheds needles.

This one drools acid.

This one poops ice cream.

Gross, but I'm intrigued.

It's gotta be here somewhere.

- What are you looking for? - Ah, here it is!

Wiz M.D.

[Billie chuckles]

Welcome to Wiz M.D.!

What ails thee?

Hey, Wizardpedia!

It's me, Milo the Fun.

[sighs]

I'm not Wizardpedia.

I'm Wiz M.D.!

The all-seeing, all-knowing wizard physician.

I didn't go to 800 years of magical medical school

to be called "pedia."

Now, what is your malady?

Well, it's kind of...

This is personal, do you mind?

No, I don't mind.

Is there, like, a cold or something that makes your magic fizzle?

It sounds like you're describing

the symptoms of Wizfluenza.

Take two bowls of Dragon Scale Soup

and conjure me in the morning!

Oh. This is great!

I'm not losing my powers

because I've been living in the mortal world,

it's just Wizfluenza.

- Where are you going? - Dragon Mountain.

You heard him. I have to make Dragon Scale Soup.

I want to see a dragon.

I'm not gonna see a dragon. They hunt during the day.

So, I'll just climb up to the nest,

find a scale and get out of there.

Just stay here.

[sighs] Okay, fine. I'll stay.

Until right after you leave.

Then I'm gonna follow you.

See, subtle changes in your grip

can alter the spell.

This conjures bunnies.

This tears a hole in the universe.

Bunnies?

Hole in the universe.

Bunnies?

Hole in the universe.

Does that answer your question?

I asked if you were gonna take a language next year.

Oh! Yeah. Probably French.

Roman, I don't know what we're doing,

but we are definitely not "kicking it."

Yeah, something's off.

Maybe I have been too focused on magic this summer.

One thing's for sure, we are out of...

- Things to talk about? - Sync.

I was gonna say "We were out of sync."

Why are we so awkward?

It's like our friendship is broken.

[vase shatters]

That was ironic.

- Sorry. - It's all good.

I know how to fix it.

Oh, I know how to fix it!

The "Back Together Spell"!

Maybe I can use it to put our friendship back together!

It's worth a shot.

I don't want our friendship to end up like that ugly vase.

Okay, I made it when I was seven!

"Mend the cracks, now and forever,

bring it all right back together."

Did it work?

- Oh, it did something. - [squeaking]

Oh, no! My spell stuck us together!

On the bright side,

we've never been closer.

[sighs]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Billie] Whoa.

[groans]

- [thuds] - [groans]

[gasps, chuckles]

There's gotta be a dragon scale

around here somewhere.

- Gold. - [clangs]

- Gold. - [thuds]

What's this, a ruby?

- [thuds] - [Milo] Ow!

Milo?

[groans]

What are you doing here?

Well, I figured your magic isn't working and mine is,

so if you got into trouble, I would...

You want to see a dragon, don't you?

Yes, I do.

Whoa! Are those dragon eggs?

Like, with baby dragons in them?

Yeah. That's how eggs work.

Come on, focus. We need to find a scale.

- Okay. - [dragon growling]

Uh... Billie?

- Did you find a scale? - I found a lot of scales.

All over that dragon.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[dragon growling]

We should get outta here!

No. I'm not leaving without a scale!

I got an idea.

We'll act like baby dragons, she'll think the eggs hatched,

and when she lands on us to keep us warm,

- we'll snatch a scale! - That's never gonna work.

Too late, I'm doing it!

[in baby voice] Ma-ma! Ma-ma!

That doesn't even sound like a baby dragon!

[chirps] Cheep, cheep, cheep!

- Ma-ma! Ma-ma! - Cheep, cheep, cheep!

[thuds]

[Milo exclaims]

I am not eating a worm.

I'll just tell her we're vegetarians.

Cheep, cheep, cheep!

[dragon roars]

Yeah, she's not buying it.

Hey, Billie,

I wanted to talk to you about your powers...

And she's not here.

I shouldn't snoop.

Unless, the reason she's losing her powers

is here in the room. In which case,

I should snoop.

But that would be an invasion of privacy.

I shouldn't snoop.

But ignoring a potential threat,

- would make me a bad parent... - What are you waiting for?

Let's snoop!

- Uh-oh. - Oh, what is it?

Billie's essay.

Her thesis statement has no supporting sentences.

Justin, we're here to figure out

what's messing with her powers,

not grade her homework.

Right. One problem at a time.

So, what are we looking for?

Anything out of the ordinary.

A book of dark magic. A creepy amulet.

A disgusting cocoon-like husk

that looks like something hatched from it?

Okay, Giada, I doubt it'll be anything that weird.

Huh. Wanna bet?

[Justin sighs]

Oh. Okay, that is definitely out of the ordinary.

Ech, no, no, no, don't touch it!

Oh, I'll go get those oven mitts

Roman made me for Mother's Day.

[squeaking]

I can't believe we're literally joined at the hip.

What if I have to go to the bathroom?

What if you have to go to the bathroom?

I don't have to go to the bathroom.

I'm just saying, if one of us had to go to the bathroom,

- it'd be awkward. - Stop saying "bathroom"!

You saying bathroom is making me have to go to the bathroom!

[squeaking]

I'll just undo the spell

and this'll be a weird thing that we never talk about!

[gasps] What is that?

I don't know, but it just ate your magic!

Maybe it's a magic eater! Is that a thing?

I don't know. I've only been a wizard for a month!

I'd better go tell my dad!

[squeaking]

Correction... We better go tell my dad.

[squeaking]

Winter, if we're gonna do this,

- we need to be in perfect sync. - Harmony.

- Sorry. Sync. - Harmony.

We're basically saying the same thing. Let's just go!

[creaking]

[dragon growls]

Num num num.

Mmm! That's good worm!

I mean, I've had better.

Ew. Stop eating it!

I don't want to be rude.

Billie, we're guests.

[dragon growls]

Duck! She's coming down!

I changed my mind. I don't want to do this.

Zap her and make her fly away!

My magic isn't working, remember?

Then I'll zap her!

Just need you to teach me a Zap Spell real fast.

I'm not leaving without a dragon scale!

Um, wait, look, there's a loose one!

- [groans softly] - [dragon roars]

Stop that! You're making her mad!

We need to calm her down.

Um, Milo, can you do a Sleep Spell?

Of course I can!

Just need you to teach me a Sleep Spell real fast.

Um, repeat after me.

"Eyes go heavy, breathing deep.

Put this dragon fast to sleep."

[sighs] "Eyes go heavy, breathing deep.

Put this dragon fast to sleep."

- [dragon snores] - Ah. [groans]

Oh, everything's going according to plan.

You planned to trap us under a sleeping dragon?

I never said it was a good plan.

Now we just got to figure out what this thing is.

Did you put that nasty thing on my good serving dish?

- Now I have to throw it out! - We can just wash it.

Honey. You're gonna eat turkey off a dish that had that on it?

You don't even like your food touching.

It's scary how well you know me.

All right. Ah.

Feels good to bust out my old monster hunting book.

You know, I used to write little notes in the margins.

Huh. Ah.

"Justin hearts Juliette"?

[laughs nervously]

That's a joke. It's a joke.

Alex must've written that.

Oh, there's a whole section on husks, right here!

Uh-huh? Yeah, we're circling back to that Juliette thing later.

I know.

[squeaking]

- Guys! Guys. - [squeaking]

The weirdest thing just happened!

Uh, is it that you're stuck together?

You'd think it is, but it isn't.

A purply oozy thing just stole my powers!

Purply oozy thing? That sounds like...

Like a Changeling!

A Changeling. It must have hatched from this pod!

But how did it get under Billie's bed?

Before we worry about where it came from,

maybe explain what it is?

A Changeling is a magical creature

that can assume the form of anyone it wants.

But it needs to steal magic until it's fully grown.

That must be why Billie lost her powers!

- [creaking] - And me.

Also lost my powers.

We need to find that Changeling

before it gets out of the house.

- Let's split up! - "Split up?"

You're just gonna say that right in front of us, Mr. R?

Right, right, right. I'll separate you.

- [all gasp] - The Changeling!

It stole my magic, too!

Really should've seen that coming.

- It's gone. - We gotta catch it!

Ooh. I'll go get the mason jars I used

to make jelly in the pandemic!

Okay, we gotta find that thing before it gets out of the house.

I'll go upstairs. You two tell Billie and Milo what's going on.

Okay, you look for them upstairs,

- I'll check the backyard. - [squeaking]

Ow!

Or we could just call them.

- My phone's upstairs! - Mine's in the living room.

- [squeaking] - [both] Ow!

[both] Fine. We'll use your phone.

[both] I mean your phone!

[both] This is a nightmare!

[dragon growling]

[groans] She won't budge.

Man, this dragon's elbow is really scaly.

That's my elbow.

Oh! Well, in that case,

it's exactly the right amount of scaly.

I'm sorry I got you into this.

I wasn't gonna let you climb Dragon Mountain alone.

Besides, you needed a scale to cure your Wizfluenza.

Unless it's not Wizfluenza.

So you really think living with us

is what's making you lose your powers?

I mean, think about it.

The same day I got mail addressed to me at our house,

I lost my magic.

It seems pretty obvious.

But to fix that, you'd have to...

Move back to the wizard world.

- [phone rings] - [dragon roars]

Thought that was on silent.

And your flashlight's on, boomer.

Dang it!

[dragon roars]

Hey, Billie, good news!

We figured out why you lost your powers.

- Tell her it's a Changeling. - It's a Changeling!

Tell her it's eating everyone's magic.

- It's eating everyone's magic! - Tell her...

Okay, would you give me some space here?

I'd love to!

[dragon roaring]

What is that thing that sounds like an angry dragon?

- [Billie] Oh, that? - [dragon roars]

It's an angry dragon.

Milo! Good news! I'm not losing my powers

because I've been living in the mortal world!

A Changeling stole them!

- So, you don't need a dragon scale? - Nope.

So we should get out of here?

Yup.

[dragon roars]

Do you think your dad found the Changeling?

- Definitely not. - How do you know?

'Cause it's right over there!

We have to stop it before it gets out!

But you don't have your wizard powers!

Then we'll have to use the most powerful magic of all.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I really hope so.

[both] Friendship!

- I have chills! - I know.

I can feel your chills.

[Changeling slurping]

We have to get across this room

- in perfect sync. - [gasps] I know how!

We just have to do the same thing we did

in our fourth grade ballroom dance recital.

Of course. The Tango!

Five, six, seven, eight!

[♪ tango music playing]

[both] Ole!

[roaring]

Uh-oh.

[screaming] Dad!

I know that high-pitched scream.

You found the Changeling!

Oh, what do we do? Our powers don't work!

I got it! I'll throw this hideous frame at it.

But I made that frame in the...

- [Changeling roars] - You know what?

Throw it. Just throw it.

- [exclaims] - [Changeling roars]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Okay.

[roars]

We need someone whose magic actually works.

My magic works!

- [exclaims] - [wand fizzles out]

My magic no longer works.

[roars]

And none of us are strong enough to defeat it!

But together, all of us might be!

Roman, take my hand.

- [Roman] Milo! - Billie!

[Winter] Winter!

Sorry, just wanted to be part of this moment.

[Changeling shrieking]

- [groans] - [groans]

Our powers are back!

[laughs]

I knew living with us wasn't making you weaker.

No.

It's making me stronger.

All right, Russos, time to blast that...

- [door slams] - Nope, it's gone.

Skittered out while we were distracted.

Don't worry, I'll go after it.

Oh, Giada! [exclaims] You did it!

You caught the Changeling!

[exclaims] I'll get this to the Tribunal.

They'll know what to do with it.

- [Justin laughs] - No, Justin, wait...

- [Justin laughs] - I... I...

This is jelly you made during the pandemic, isn't it?

Yeah. But, I mean,

you can still take it to the Tribunal as a gift.

I have like 50 more in the garage.

Look at us, kicking it like we used to.

You're the peanut butter to my...

- Jelly. - Changeling.

I know it's jelly,

but all I can see is Changeling.

Listen, I'm sorry I got us stuck together like that.

I guess I didn't want to accept that me being a wizard

was messing up our friendship.

Hey, don't worry about it.

If today proved anything,

it's that nothing can break our friendship.

But it'd be nice to hang out a little more.

Deal.

All right, let's eat.

Winter, you're not staying?

I can't believe I'm saying this,

but I think I'm gonna go to my house.

I could use some "me" time.

Welp, I'm done!

Milo, we just sat down.

Sorry, Mom, I filled up on worm earlier.

You know, it's not the weirdest thing he's ever eaten.

- [Justin sighs] - Did you find the Changeling?

No. But now that we know it's here,

we can keep our eye out for it.

So, just to be clear,

we're supposed to keep an eye out

for a thing that could look like anyone?

Yeah.

So we'll just keep an eye out for everyone?

I mean, I would.

If that thing was under my bed,

then it must've been here for me.

I thought we didn't have to worry about this kind of stuff anymore.

Yeah, I did too.

Look...

I don't want to scare you,

but I'm starting to think maybe the prophecy isn't over.

If only we knew what was coming.

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[gasps]

Looks like it's time to meet Billie.
