Mina: Stop it.

I'm not telling you.

Sam: I'm your best friend.

You can tell me.

Mina: No way.

- Chemistry is all about

keeping your equation in balance.

Mina: [giggling]

[background chatter]

- What?

Mina: Oh, just something from the other night.

You had to be there.

- Uh, sounds fun.

Huh.

- [laughing]

Mina: [whispering] Stop.

- What?

- Just wait till you like someone.

- Is it about Seb?

Did I miss something?

- Only everything.

They've decided to hang out more.

You know, next-level stuff.

Mina: Sam!

[speaking Farsi]

Ruby: I-I don't under--

Mina: I'm teaching Sam Farsi.

- You are?

Mina: He's gotten pretty good.

I just wish he would use it

for more sensitive topics, like we talked about.

Ruby: Seems like I, uh... missed a lot.

But maybe we can all hang out this weekend?

Both: Sure.

- Um...

Why is this so hard?

- If you've done your homework

up to this point,

this should be easy.

Did you say something, Ruby?

- [stammering]

Nothing.

I... thought I was gonna sneeze.

- Listen, Ruby.

Science builds on itself, right?

And you missed a lot of class early on.

Ruby: I know.

But I'm... workin' on it.

- Good to hear.

Okay.

If you've balanced your equation properly,

you should generate a mild reaction.

Everybody ready?

Set...

Pour!

[students exclaiming]

Sam: Huh.

That's awesome.

All: Oh!

Girl: Whoa!

[laughter]

Sam: Oh, nice job, Ruby.

Uh, sir, what's it mean if you get a geyser?

- It means Ruby's...

going to summarize chapters 9 through 13.

On my desk, 9 a.m.

Got it, Miss O'Reilly?

- Got it.

Aria: Prepare to be thrilled, amazed, astonished.

It combines the traditional charm of rural life

with the modern comfort of 21st-century living.

Ruby: Whoa, cool!

Is that our house?

- Aria was just explaining her reno concept.

- Ah, no way!

A pool?

We're getting a pool?

- It's a mixed-material water feature, but yes.

- Nice.

Um...

big change, though, 'cause...

there's a lot of family history here

and you probably know my mom--

Aria: You got it.

I'm all about history and tradition.

It's all a part of the mix.

- To be clear, though, we can't afford a pool,

or any of this, really.

Aria's just showing us her design concept.

Aria: You know Miss Miranda, right?

Best guidance teacher ever?

Well, she thought your place would be a great demo

for my design school application.

- Aria, that's huge!

- Yep.

I'm still not sure about the colors, though.

Need to spend more time in here

watching the light.

[tinkling]

- Uh, speaking of the light, um...

I have to go do a thing.

[laughing nervously]

- Looks great, Aria.

Take your time.

- Okay.

[sighs]

Okay.

You got this.

- Okay, how about an easy wish this time?

After the last few, I could really use a break.

Maybe.

[whoosh]

[shimmer]

?

?

Woman 1: [humming]

Woman 2: I wish she was out of the way.

- So much for an easy one.

[theme music]

?

?

Okay!

Let's get this done fast.

- Done fast?

Ruby: Yes!

I have stuff to do!

- Like?

- Like everything!

I need to catch up in math and science and English.

- And Farsi.

[laughs]

Ruby: See?

I clearly have no idea what's going on

in either of your lives,

so that's the new strategy with the wish:

Get it done fast.

Okay?

So, "I wish she was out of the way."

The wisher clearly wants someone gone,

but who and why?

- Maybe someone wants to get rid of a bully

or a crooked business partner?

- Or a greedy, diabolical heir

who wants an early inheritance?

- Maybe.

What's the fastest clue to check out?

- Paint.

Two words: purchase history.

Here.

Sales records, last two months.

Ruby: Wow, a lot of people buy paint here.

More yellow than you'd think.

- Yeah.

Ruby, what about your place?

Any painting?

Maybe Aria?

- I got this.

Ruby: Uh...

- Hey, Aria.

On a big new project, I hear.

Could I tempt you with some, uh, Drops of Sunshine,

or Banana Frapp�?

- Pass, thanks.

I'm not doing a kitchen from 2006.

Sam: So what colours are you using, then?

Aria: I'm not.

I'm looking for wallpaper.

Thanks anyways, Sam.

- Hey, look.

That Ronan kid from school.

- He bought four pints.

Black, red, blue and... yellow!

- Yeah, but look.

He also picked up some particle board and an--

All: Archery set!

- Paint?

Arrow?

Ronan?

- But didn't the wisher sound female?

- Well, mm, he has a sister.

Maybe it was for her?

- Oh, two clues in one?

Now, that's efficient.

Sam: [chuckling]

[background chatter]

[hammering]

- Thanks.

What?

"Violation: Noise Bylaw

"permits operation of construction equipment

Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. only."

- Somebody means business.

Three lines under "only"--

with a ruler.

- I'm on top of the roofers.

They're following the rules.

- Maybe someone knows them better than you do?

- Apparently.

- I'd figure this out

before they get the rest of the geometry set out.

Daniel: [sighing]

- Those compasses are pointy.

- [chuckles]

Ronan: It's, uh, for my sister's kid.

[thwack]

Yeah, I built her an archery target

for her after-school club.

It was arrows everywhere,

it was suction-cup carnage.

- Suction-cup arrows?

- Not even close.

Sam: Any annoying kids?

Ones your sister might wish were out of the way?

- Uh, no.

They're...

[chuckling]

They're all crazy cute.

Um, anyway, I gotta...

I gotta finish my route.

Can you do me a favor?

Can you give this to Miss Grady?

She's... she's already yelled at me twice today.

She's got a problem with everyone.

Ruby: The sweet lady catching speeders with a radar gun?

- Looks are deceiving.

She's... she's tough... not sweet.

Like, '60s-protestor tough.

And, uh, that's not a radar gun.

[chuckles]

Sam: [laughs]

It's a hair dryer.

- Well, if she has problems with everyone,

I bet she wants someone out of the way.

Miss Grady: You bet I do.

My neighbor, every Sunday, 9 a.m.,

she's out with her leaf-blower,

which is terrible for the environment,

not to mention the noise.

- Oh.

What a nice weathervane.

- Oh, that thing.

Well, the squirrels won't leave it alone.

Ugh, I wish they were gone too.

Ah, and those terrible kids,

just tossing their trash every which way.

Plus, our useless town council!

We need a four-way stop there

before some speeder runs somebody over.

And then there's the racket from downtown.

I can't even talk about it.

- So your neighbor, squirrels,

kids, town council, speeders, and racket-makers in general?

- Yeah.

All of them.

Outta here in my utopia.

- Uh, well, great talking to you, Miss Grady.

Uh... have a good day.

- Oh, yeah, like that'll ever happen.

Sam: [sighs]

I thought we were onto something.

- Yeah, but the wish is

I wish she was out of the way,

not half the known universe.

Sam: [chuckles]

- Oh, I forgot to give her the...

...flyer.

This is exactly the arrow from my vision!

So it's a love wish.

Obviously.

- Didn't we just do one of those?

Ruby: Yep.

And "out of the way" means

the wisher wants to get rid of a romantic rival.

- That was fast.

Are you sure?

- Yeah, and we haven't really figured out

all the clues yet.

Ruby: I know what I'm doing.

So, love wish: Get rid of the rival.

Now we just gotta figure out who and how,

and we're done and done.

?

Hi, Lucy.

Sold any I'd-love-you-to-vanish

bouquets recently?

Lucy: [chuckles]

No, why?

Trying to shoo someone away from your intended?

- No.

No, not us.

Uh, but we were wondering if you knew who was.

- Sorry.

I'm strictly in the get-you-some-love

business here.

[laughing]

[humming]

- That song.

Woman 1: [humming]

- [humming]

Ruby: Lucy?

Uh, what are you humming?

- It's Gilbert and Sullivan.

Why?

- Uh, wh-what song is it?

- Oh, that's, uh, I'm Called Little Buttercup.

?

Mina: What's wrong?

- Little Buttercup.

That's what my mom used to call me.

?

Uh, careful with that, okay?

- Don't worry.

I know it's your mom's.

Super important.

?

?

[click]

?

[clatter]

[whoosh]

?

- Someone wishes my mom was...

...out of the way.

[knocking]

- I've had a day.

How 'bout you?

- Same.

- What you got there?

- Mom's paintbrush.

Any chance you know

why there's still yellow paint on it?

Mom always cleaned her brushes

right away,

but not this one.

- Yeah, I do know why.

She painted the buttercup painting

with that.

It was her last one.

- Oh.

- When she was finished, she was too tired to clean it

and I just... shoved it in the box.

I was, uh...

- Too busy taking care of her.

- Yeah.

She would've hated that.

But she really wanted us to have that painting

so that we'd have some other stuff to remember.

And I do.

You?

- Yeah.

?

What?!

Why?!

Come on!

What rotten human being

would want to get rid of my mom's memory?

My wonderful mom!

I mean, who even thinks that way?

Sam: 'Kay, sorry, I'm just gonna say it.

Someone who likes your dad, that's who.

Your mom,

plus the Cupid's arrow and the female voice?

- No!

No, it has to be something else!

Okay, I mean, who would like my dad?

He... he leaves whiskers in the sink,

he drinks straight from the carton!

I mean, he's completely unlovable!

- You want to tell her, or should I?

- Be my guest.

- Tell me what?

Mina: We know you don't want to hear this,

but your dad's kind of a catch.

- Excuse me?

Sam: Word on the street is he checks all the boxes.

- He's nice to everyone.

- Especially waiters and cashiers.

Big green flag.

Mina: He pitches in for Emerald.

Sam: By helping at the library,

Radcliffe Hall, and the play,

even when he's super busy at the orchard.

Mina: And unlike the local guys,

he didn't grow up here.

Sam: So nobody knows the embarrassing things

he did as a kid.

- Plus, throw in being a good dad.

Sam: A decent cook.

Mina: He's quiet, thoughtful, charming--

- Stop!

Stop!

Fine.

Let's say... that's what it is.

Getting rid of my mom's memory

so that my dad can have some shiny new relationship,

and I'm supposed to grant this wish?

No!

No, no, no!

Why would the well ask me to do this?

As some kind of sick test?!

This...

this is too far.

I'm, I'm not doing it!

[door slamming]

- Another fine O'Reilly, just like his dad.

How is Liam doing, anyway?

- Oh, he's back in Ireland

digging up more family secrets

and loving it.

But I'm sure he misses all of us.

So much.

- Well, you just tell him that Peachy sends her regards

from across the pond.

- I definitely will.

- What's the story with all of that?

You can barely hold them.

Looks like you're losing at Uno.

- Yeah, that's why I'm here.

These are noise complaints.

We got one and then another,

and now we're up to a steady trickle.

Do you have any idea who's behind these?

- [laughing]

Well, let's just say

you're up against one tough customer:

Freda Grady.

- I don't know her.

- Mid-seventies,

not a fan of the work you're doing.

Has she marched on you yet?

Brought out her bullhorn?

- Not yet.

- My advice?

Don't let it come to that.

Make nice.

Fast.

Jessica, more parking tickets?

Ava: [laughing]

- I wasn't trying to be funny.

- Oh, I know.

But if you only knew.

- Well, that's what I'm trying to find out.

- Who here in town

might have a thing for Daniel O'Reilly?

Short answer: Half the population.

- Wow.

- Mm-mm.

- I knew he was popular.

I didn't know he was that popular.

- Mm.

Can you please go help that customer?

- Sure.

- Thank you.

[chuckling]

- Sorry.

Need to exchange this again.

- It didn't work out?

- No.

I'm looking for something that says clean yet warm,

and it turns out this just says polka dots!

Like, really, really loudly.

- You're getting excited?

Last step towards your big adventure.

- Oh, yeah.

Zurich School of Design ain't gonna know

what hit 'em.

This time next year,

I'll be hunched over my drawing table,

sketching my masterpiece,

whole class behind me in awe over my work.

One guy chokes out, "We're not worthy!"

It's gonna be great.

- You're gonna kill it.

And for the record, when you're famous,

I always said you would be.

- But no pressure, right?

- No.

- Ah, okay.

Better find this life-changing wallpaper.

Ava: [chuckling]

Daniel: Freda Grady.

Is she that bad?

- See this?

She's got a wrap named after her.

- The Grady?

Vegan and spicy?

- Fifty years ago,

she chained herself to that very stool.

With a bullhorn...

and precious little deodorant.

- Wanted vegetarian fare on the menu.

- People thought she'd last a few hours.

Three days later,

they realized they'd underestimated her.

- When the police showed up, she made one of them cry,

and talked the other into going vegan.

- So the previous owner gave up the fight.

That's how I wound up as owner, actually.

So I added the veggie wrap.

- And now it's a big hit?

- Not even close.

But it keeps the peace.

[chuckling]

- You got this.

You're an apple guy.

Get over there and bond over eating plants.

Turn on that charm of yours.

- See what I can do.

[knocking]

Freda: [sighing]

Huh.

You're cute,

but you're about 30 years too late.

- Hold on.

I'm Daniel O'Reilly.

I'm overseeing the new community hall.

- Oh!

Good.

Now I know who to blame

for the constant bang, bang, bang.

- I'm sorry about the disruption.

I'm here to make peace.

When the roof and the facade is done,

you'll love it.

Just think of the hall as a gathering hub;

a place to foster unity in Emerald.

- Unity, huh?

I tried that back in the day.

Doesn't work like it used to.

- I'm sorry you feel that way.

- Well, now, if you'll excuse me.

But I will take one of these.

Hmm.

It ain't no Honeycrisp.

[quizzical music]

?

- I talked to Lucy, too.

She said everyone thinks he's the bee's knees.

Apparently, that's a good thing.

- Bottom line is,

there are quite a few people who'd like to date your dad.

Maybe one's the wisher?

- This wish is so beyond.

I... I just...

I, I seriously hate

all of this crushing-on-my-dad stuff.

I'm just not--

- Ready?

I get it.

- But... doesn't mean that I'm not curious.

Still... really angry.

But curious.

Daniel: Yeah, total fail.

Couldn't be charmed.

Leah: No way!

- She even insulted my apple.

- So much for enticing her with goodies.

- Yeah.

I'm looking for a new angle.

- I'll think about it, too.

- All right.

Thanks for the advice.

- How's our designer?

- Aria?

Yeah, she's doing great.

I mean, it's hard to tell now,

but she has some amazing ideas.

- Oh, she's amazing.

Will you be giving tours after?

- Sure.

Yeah, I'd love to.

- Can't wait.

Thanks.

- Okay, then.

- See ya soon.

- Looking forward to it.

Bye.

Oh, hey.

Uh, Ruby?

Um...

Maybe we should talk.

- Mm-hmm.

Yep.

- Something, uh...

Anyway, I promised you that I would tell you...

if, uh...

Uh... so I think maybe there might be, um...

Um... uh...

Actually don't even think I've admitted it to myself

until just now.

But I wanted to be honest with you.

So...

Um...

You okay?

- Yup.

- Do you have any questions?

- Just one.

Who?

- Leah Miranda.

- So she's the one?

- She's the one what?

- Nothing.

Just a wish thing.

[emotional music]

?

[shuddering breaths]

Sam: Wait, what?!

Mina: You want us to sabotage your dad's relationship

before it even starts?

- No, no, no.

It's a bad idea.

- Why not?

It was a good idea with Lucy and Tim Russell, wasn't it?

You were all over the love sabotage then!

- That's different.

Lucy's married.

Plus, we were wrong about that anyways.

- And everyone loves Miss Miranda.

Literally nobody has a bad thing

to say about her.

Ruby: [scoffing]

I'm not buying it.

- Huh?

- Sure, everyone thinks that she's kind and generous,

but if she really was,

why would she make such a rotten wish?!

- I'm not sure if--

- My mom's memory, out of the way!

I mean, think about it!

It's just nasty!

Okay, a nice person would never make that wish!

Never!

So she's acting sweet to win over my dad

when, really, she's a terrible person!

- Oh, Ruby, come on.

You can't just jump to conclusions like that.

- Why not?!

- Because it's extreme.

- Well, my life is extreme right now,

if you haven't noticed!

And this is just one... more... thing.

[tense music]

- Are you worried?

- I keep thinking about what happened to old Tom

after a while with the well.

H-he kind of snapped.

- Yeah.

And the well has put Ruby through a lot lately.

You don't think--

- I'm trying not to.

[music crescendos]

[hammering]

[background chatter]

- Weird, huh?

- What?!

- I said, weird, huh?

- I know!

[chuckling] Sorry.

Yeah, not a peep from Feisty Freda all day.

- Mm-hmm.

- Do you think we won her over?

- I doubt it.

Think we need to regroup and come up with a new plan.

?

Leah: [laughter]

Daniel: ...35?

- I... I love that plan.

I think it'll work.

- But it'll be quiet, so...

Leah: [chuckling]

Daniel: Ruby.

How are you--

- Hi, Dad.

Hi... Miss Miranda.

- Nice to see you, Ruby.

- Ruby?

Uh...

we're just about to have some hot chocolate.

Join us?

[water pouring]

[lid clatters]

- Uh, spoons in here, right?

- Yeah.

Leah and I were just talking about the hall.

It's coming along nicely.

- Hmm.

Leah: Absolutely.

It's so good to start over, renew things,

start fresh!

Oh, uh, just half a cup for me, please.

- Sorry.

Do you mind grabbing another mug?

- Mm-hmm.

- Uh, Dad, that's Mom's mug.

- Right.

Sorry.

- I'm so sorry.

I didn't know.

- Hmm.

- It's not a problem.

[rapid stirring]

Leah: [chuckling]

[stirring intensifies]

- I'm sorry, guys, I just...

I-I can't, uh...

Excuse me.

[door slamming]

I can't believe you would ask me to do this!

I mean, how... how could you?

Why give me this wish?!

It's just... mean.

She wants my mom out of the way?

Well, you know what I wish?!

I wish that Leah Miranda was out of the way!

[echoing]

[rumbling and gurgling]

[tense music]

?

[stone cracking]

What is happening?

[exclaiming softly]

?

Oh, no.

- Expecting somebody?

- Yeah, Leah.

She was supposed to meet me for breakfast.

- Hmm.

And she didn't show?

You two have a... quarrel or something?

- Oh, no, no, nothing...

nothing like that.

- You know you can talk to me.

I've... lived longer than you.

I know a few things.

- Thank you.

I'm...

Everything's fine.

I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

- That's why you're not worrying?

- Right.

Hey, it's me.

Call me back

so Halona stops feeling sorry for me, okay?

Bye.

Hey, Ronan.

Everything okay?

- Hi, Mr. O.

I... Uh, not really.

I-I have a... a weird feeling.

Nobody's seen Miss Grady for a while.

- Yeah.

We noticed, too.

We think she's working on her sneak attack.

- Uh, no, I, uh, I went by her house.

She's usually out

shaking her fist at somebody by now, but...

- But nothing, huh?

- Car's still there.

I'm... I'm worried about her.

- All right, I'll go see if she's okay.

- Can I, uh, uh, tag along?

- Won't you be late for school?

- Exactly.

[chuckling]

- Come on.

Sam: Have a good day, bro.

Good luck on the test.

Mina: See ya later.

Ruby: [exclaiming]

- Whoa there, She-Hulk.

- Did you try numbers?

Sam: [chuckling]

Oh.

- Sorry.

Joke-free zone.

Hey.

How ya doin'?

- Been better.

- What happened?

- I said something to the well

and it blew up.

Both: It blew up?

- Uh...

- What did you say?

- I kind of made a wish.

- Oh, boy.

- For what?

- It was childish.

I didn't mean it.

But I wished Leah Miranda would...

disappear.

Aria: If you see her,

can you tell her I'm looking for her?

- Uh, hi!

Aria!

Hi.

Uh, what're you doing here?

- I-I'm just looking for Miss Miranda.

It's about my project, actually.

Uh, I'm stuck.

I don't know.

Maybe I shouldn't even...

[sighing]

I don't know.

- Wh-- are you thinking about quitting?

- It's just not clicking.

And that's not what I need right now,

to go to this fancy school in Europe

and be outed as this no-talent wannabe.

- Aria, this is your art,

and everyone thinks you're a trailblazer.

- Yeah.

Tell that to my 10th-grade teacher.

She didn't think much of me.

She told me repeatedly.

I just... I need to talk to Miss Miranda

and tell her thanks, but... she's wasting her time.

- No, I--

- Miss Miranda?

Have you seen her?

- Uh, no.

Why?

- I-I don't know.

It's weird.

I had an appointment this morning,

but she didn't show up.

- W-wait.

She's not here?

- No.

Office hasn't heard from her, either.

Bizarre!

- I need to find her.

Sam: Ruby?

[knocking]

Daniel: Ms. Grady?

Hello?!

Ms. Grady?

[sighing]

Um...

Maybe there's an open window.

Over here.

?

Ms. Grady?

It's Daniel O'Reilly and Ronan.

We're here in your house.

We're just checking to see if you're okay.

- [weakly] Hello.

[groaning]

- Ms. Grady!

- Boys, in here.

I'm just so tired.

- Ms. Grady, how much of this did you take?

- I don't know.

And my blood sugar was still high,

so I just took more.

- Hypoglycemia.

We gotta get her, like, some juice or something.

Like, now.

Ms. Grady: [groaning]

- Okay, Ms. Grady,

I'm getting you some help, okay?

- Okay...

- 911, what's your emergency?

- Miss Miranda hasn't been to the hardware store--

- Or the library--

- Or the diner or the flower shop or home.

Uh...

No one has seen her anywhere.

- It's like she just... vanished.

[breathes nervously]

- Okay, Ms. Grady, there you go.

And, uh...

we-we're gonna get you some new test strips, okay?

These are expired.

[groaning]

- Don't you have anybody to check these for you?

- I've always taken care of myself.

- Good eye, Ronan.

Is somebody you know...?

- Uh, my mom's diabetic.

- Okay.

[siren wailing]

- EMTs.

- Mm-hmm.

[panting]

- What'd the well do?

What did I do?

I...

The trick mirror.

It's gotta mean something.

Uh... I'm supposed to see Viole.

What is happening?

[dramatic music]

[footsteps approaching]

Dad, you okay?

- Actually, no.

I've been calling and texting Leah

about Ms. Grady and...

radio silence.

It's... odd.

- It's my fault.

I did this.

- Honey, if you're talking about yesterday,

she understands.

- No--

- We both do.

- I-I did a bad thing.

- Sweetheart, it's okay.

- No, it's not.

Down at the well, I...

I wished that Miss Miranda was... gone.

- What?

- I was upset and... and raging,

and it just came out.

- Oh, Ruby, come on.

I'm sure the well can't just disappear people.

- We have no idea what it can do, Dad.

Sure, when you're a good person,

it's on your side, but...

I thought I was a kind person,

a caring person.

- You are.

- No, I wrecked everything.

I mean, I have this gift, this amazing gift, and...

...I just don't want to mess it up.

- Yes, I know.

The well is--

- No, not the well.

Dad...

You.

You deserve to be happy, but I-I wasn't ready and I...

I'm so sorry.

I was so wrong that I ruined it all.

[sobs]

- It's okay.

You haven't.

Ruby, you're not all good and you're not all bad.

You just are.

All of you.

- All of me.

Dad!

That... that was the point of the mirror.

Come with me.

This has to be it.

I got the wrong wisher.

Because I pushed you away,

tried to ignore a whole side of me,

and you wanted me to look at that.

At myself.

'Cause I can't just be a well keeper.

I mess up with my friends and... family.

But I can't just be a regular person, either,

or I mess up the wishes.

I'm both.

All of it.

And you wanted to know if I can handle it.

If I can balance my equation.

And... well, the answer is, uh...

I don't know.

But... I want to try again.

[rumbling]

Oh, no, please don't blow up again.

[rumbling stops]

[phone ringing]

- It's Leah.

Leah?

- I'm a walking disaster.

- You what?

- ...ran over my phone.

- A family thing?

And then you ran over your phone?

[chuckling]

- Not my finest moment.

- Oh, wow.

I'm just glad you're okay.

- Okay.

Okay.

[laughing]

So then, there's only one thing left.

Who's the real wisher?

[light music]

Uh.

?

Sam: Okay.

[scoffing]

Ruby: The reason I've gathered you all here today

is to discuss today's topic:

Mistakes Have Been Made.

- Do you know what she's--

- Nope.

Leah Miranda, found safe and sound,

and... not the wisher.

- You know that for sure?

- Leah and I talked for hours...

about all of it.

I mean, my family, my mom, her family.

And I stand corrected.

She is as freakishly awesome as everybody says she is.

- Really?

- So time to start over.

Who could be the real wisher?

- Well, do we know for sure

if the "she" in the wish is your mom?

- No.

- So this might not even be a love wish.

Sweet.

- Slow down, cowboy.

What about the Cupid's arrow?

It was exactly like the one in Ruby's vision.

- Maybe not exactly.

- What?!

But, Ruby, we count on you to tell us that.

- And back to today's theme.

[banging]

It was a drawing of exactly the arrow that I saw,

but the... one in my vision was a real,

in-the-world-type-object thing.

Also might've had hooks.

- Hooks?

You never said hooks.

- Look, I-I rushed the wish, okay?

I wanted to get it done and I got caught up.

It wasn't pretty.

But the point is,

I think there were little hooks, so...?

- Weird object.

- Abelard's.

- Great.

Okay, you guys look into that,

and I'll check out the stuff with my mom;

see what I missed when... you know.

[banging]

- Okay.

Good luck.

Ruby: Mm.

[sighing]

[paintbrushes clatter softly]

What do you mean?

I mean, I know what you mean to me, but...

Aria: [sighing]

There's just no place for this.

- Uh... Aria?

- Yeah.

- Is everything okay?

- Mm-hmm.

No.

I have this whole vision for this room and...

bringing in the future while respecting family history,

like we talked about.

It worked on the computer,

but it just doesn't in real life.

- Oh.

- How do I fit it all together?

There's art

and then there's practicality.

But mixing the two?

You know what?

She was right.

- Miss Miranda?

- No.

She talked me into finishing this.

- Then who?

- No one, never mind.

- Okay.

Um, just curious.

What's that?

- Oh.

Uh, this?

It's a key holder for your organization nook.

Y'all need a nook

like no one I've ever seen needs a nook before.

How you find things, I... have no idea.

[phone ringing]

- Oh.

Um...

Sorry.

One second.

Mina: Newsflash!

That arrow is from Abelard's.

It's a key hook and a rental.

And guess who rented it.

- I know!

I'm with Aria right now.

- Wait, how did you know?

- 'Cause I'm checking out the great work

that she's doing.

She's putting up the cutest arrow key hook.

- You're saying we have our wisher?

- A very definite maybe.

Just gotta follow something up.

- [sighing]

?

[background chatter]

- Someone in Aria's life who brings her down?

- Yeah.

It's just sometimes she seems so confident,

but other times, well, not so much.

- I get that feeling, too.

But whenever I mention it...

- Uh, she did mention someone.

Do you know who her 10th-grade teacher was?

- No idea.

But I should have her official record here.

It was... a Ms. Larsen.

- Is there anything there?

I mean, without betraying student-counselor privilege?

- Hmm.

Wow.

Aria was a terrific student,

but this teacher gave her a less-than-terrific review.

- Uh, does it say something like,

"Is encouraged to demonstrate

more responsible attitudes and behaviour?"

- Yeah.

Says that exactly.

- It's just, well,

this person lives in Aria's head,

and I bet she wants her out of the way.

- Does she?

Or is that just Aria getting in her own way?

I always wondered why she was holding back.

But she needs this to spread her wings.

She has to go to design school in Zurich.

?

- I'm not going.

Ms. Larsen was right.

But I did do one cool thing.

A quilt.

It's a tribute to your mom.

It's her paint smock

and some clothes your dad found,

and I printed some of her artwork

onto fabric.

- It's beautiful.

Thank you, Aria.

I, uh...

Ms. Larsen was so wrong.

- Sorry it didn't work out.

- I...

[whoosh]

Wait!

I have to show you something.

- [sighing]

- Um...

This was my mom's.

- Oh.

- My mom was... so strong.

But she had doubts, too.

Dad said that she would do

20 versions of an illustration

before tearing it up and starting all over.

- Uh-huh.

- But that's why her things mean so much to me.

My mom had doubts...

like me.

And she wasn't perfect, and neither am I.

But she kept going

and made everyone's life so much better because of it.

You don't have to be perfect.

And this brush is proof.

- I don't get it.

Why this paintbrush?

- Because she painted her last picture with it.

Right before she died.

When I hold on to it, I can hear her say,

"Ruby, it's okay to mess up.

"It's okay to doubt yourself sometimes.

But just don't let that stop you."

- It's nice that you have that kind of thing

to lean on.

- Yeah.

And now you do.

- What?

No, no, I can't take it.

- Yeah, you can.

That's the point.

Use that to remind you

of everyone who has your back:

me, my dad, Miss Miranda,

everyone at school

who walks by your work every day;

everyone at Zurich you're gonna blow away.

And the memory of my mom...

...that you worked so hard to protect.

?

- Okay.

- So?

- So...

I better get back to work.

?

?

Ruby: We're only human.

We all make mistakes.

Teachers, well keepers...

...and even my dad.

- So it turns out Ms. Grady

isn't the cranky old lady I thought she was.

Ronan: [chuckling]

Yes, she is.

- [laughing] Okay.

But she has her reasons.

Ms. Grady: Well, good noisy morning.

However, despite the racket, I just wanted to say...

Well, here.

- Thanks, Ms. Grady.

They look... great.

- Well, I never learned how to bake,

but they're vegan.

And they're good, too.

Too good, according to my new test strips,

thank you very much,

so I can't use 'em.

- Listen, I heard you wanted to turn the hall

into a soup kitchen once upon a time.

- Yeah, well, I guess I never bent the right ears.

- Well, we've got a kitchen.

And the mornings are pretty open.

- And I, uh, I had this idea for a wrap.

It's, uh, vegan a-and spicy.

Maybe we can spend some time together,

figure out the ingredients.

Ms. Grady: [chuckling]

Spicy, huh?

- Yeah.

- Well, I got some ideas

that are gonna make you cry for your mama, honey.

- Okay.

- [laughter]

Ruby: So how do you not mess up?

How do you not have that voice in there,

raging about weaknesses

and hopes and responsibilities

and fears and desires and worries and duties

saying you're somehow not enough?

How do you say to that voice...

"get out of the way"?

[soft music]

?

I guess in the end,

it's about being fair to yourself,

accepting the jumble that is you.

And finding that moment to breathe.

To think.

To wish.

To be.

And find your balance.
