- What are you gonna do? Jump us outta here?

- I think I'm getting light-headed.

- I'm gonna block the vortex with this...

much heavier than I thought trampoline...

before it gets any bigger.

- Great idea! - JESSIE: Ahhh!

- Wait, Jessie, no! - JESSIE: Help!

- *

- Ben, a little help here!

- Help!

- Not the kind of help I was talking about.

Help me!

- I think my only hope is a long length of rope.

- *

- [straining]

- *

- JESSIE: Pull!

- *

- What's that?

- [rattles doors] It's locked!

- I hear a loud roar, open the locked door.

[powers zapping]

- SAMANTHA: Tug of War! - JESSIE: Help!

Ben!

- Quick! Come on! Pull! - Ow!

- *

- Stop it. - Hex, give me a spell!

- Stop it! Stop it!

- I started it, so here it will end.

Close the vortex and the wall will mend.

[powers zapping]

- [wind stops]

- Thank you. - Any time, roomie.

- Is everyone okay?

- Hex hurt his spine.

- I got a rope burn.

- I think I sprained my wrist.

- The Spell Performance Tests are in an hour.

What are we gonna do?

- * It must be magic

* It's happenin'

* Some crazy things

* I can't do this without you *

* Just keep your W.I.T.S. about you *

* It must be magic

* Look what we're doing here *

* There's something brewing here *

* It must be magic

* We got that spirit here

* We'll never disappear

* It must be

* It must be magic *

- Let the first Spell Performance Test

of the year begin.

- Um, you have to turn it on, sir.

- [tapping keyboard]

Oh, phooey, I hate this device.

- If you just press the "on" button.

- Cameron, open the door.

Bring the first team in.

- STUDENTS: The animals must prevail.

Show me something with a tail.

- AGAMEMNON & CAMERON: [gasping]

- *

- Great job, guys. - That was cool.

- *

- STUDENTS: Cameron, don't fear.

We're gonna make you disappear.

- AGAMEMNON: Hm.

- *

- Oh, how festive-- a Cameron balloon.

- What do you mean?

[gasping]

- [powers zapping]

- Hey, you have the same uniform as us.

- Not quite.

- AGAMEMNON: He made the stars himself.

But we allow it.

Ah, the clairvoyance spell.

Let's have some fun.

Show me where I'll be in five years.

- [quiet conversation]

- JESSIE & BEN: From the depth of the Abyss,

to the edges of the Realm, open a window into the...

- JESSIE: ...future... - BEN: ...past...

- JESSIE & BEN: ...I will not overwhelm.

[powers zapping]

- AGAMEMNON'S MOM: Slow down, Aggie.

You'll get a tummy ache.

- Not me "at" five. Where will I be "in" five?

- Sorry, I got jumbled.

- AGAMEMNON ANNOUNCING: Attention, students!

The results from your first Spell Performance Tests are in.

Each team earned points based on

accuracy and execution of spells.

Hopefully, you learned where your weaknesses are

and have an idea on how to improve.

The team with the least points--

Cameron will help you pack.

In first place--

Ruby, Emily, Ethan.

- STUDENTS: [applauding, cheering]

- Woo!

- Top of the world, lookin' down.

My WITs. These two are mine, thank you very much.

- AGAMEMNON: In second place--

Luke, Gracie and Sean.

- STUDENTS: [applauding]

- Not bad. Not bad.

I'm saying that for her. We can do better.

- AGAMEMNON: In third place--

Arturo, Leslie and Bernie.

- STUDENTS: [applauding]

- AGAMEMNON: In last place--

Andi, Jessie and Ben. - Yes!

No!

- How could you confuse

five years into the future with a five-year-old?

- Agamemnon makes me nervous.

- Everything makes you nervous.

- Guess you'll have to find a new roomie.

- *

- Miss Cruz, I know what you're going to say,

so you can toddle right back up those stairs.

- I don't understand why Samantha has to be expelled.

- You know the rules and they knew the rules.

- We would have been hurled into some kind of future vortex

if it wasn't for Samantha and her WITs.

Can you deduct points from me?

- Absolutely not.

Your students completed the spell they were assigned--

for the most part.

It would be unfair to them.

- I'm trying to find some kind of middle ground here.

- There is no middle ground.

Samantha and her WITs showed incredible bravery.

But, unfortunately, their destiny

does not involve this academy.

- But that's not fair!

- Sometimes destiny is not.

Maybe the next time you foolishly

let a spell get out of control,

you'll remember this.

As a Guardian, your actions have consequences.

- *

- [quiet mixed conversations]

- What? You think just because you're whispering,

I don't know what you're saying?

- You got my best friend expelled.

- Look, I feel terrible about it.

I tried to convince Agamemnon that she should stay,

but he just wouldn't budge.

- She's been working toward this her whole life

and one day after you show up, she's out.

- Where is she? I want to apologize.

- Gone. Expelled immediately.

- But, I didn't even get to say goodbye.

- That's okay-- as she was crying,

I promised her the one thing I knew

would make her feel better.

I'd make sure you and your WITs never graduate.

- But that wouldn't make her feel better.

- Maybe not.

But it would make me feel a lot better.

I'm gonna bring you down.

- *

- Okay, you can all start whispering again.

Can I help you?

- Oh, no, I got it.

- No, I mean, who are you?

- Oh, I'm your new roommate, Kim.

- That was fast.

Are you new at the Academy?

'Cause I just got here myself.

- No, this is my second year.

But my last roommate and I didn't get along,

so I requested a transfer.

- I'm Andi. - Oh, nice to meet you.

Oh, so you're Andi!

Ruby's been telling everyone

that Samantha got expelled because you're a jinx.

- [groans] Evil never sleeps.

- Oh, I don't really pay attention to gossip,

but I can relate. - How?

- Ruby was my first roommate.

- Oh. We're gonna get along just fine.

Whoa, is that a Magic Meter 2000?

- With a digital range enhancer.

I, uh, I built it to help my WITs.

- Sweet! I built a net caster once.

Used it to catch myself a Kanay.

Well, almost.

She burned the net and then webbed me to the wall.

But then I glued her to the floor.

- AGAMEMNON ANNOUNCING: Attention, students!

All students assemble in the atrium

for the announcement of your next assignment.

- You coming?

- Uh, in a second. - Oh.

- *

- We need to step up our game, Hex.

Okay, I need to step up my game.

- AGAMEMNON: Attention, students!

This assignment is about teamwork

and building trust.

It's Blockers.

- STUDENTS: Ooohhh...

- Students will take turns

removing one block at a time from a block tower.

Then taking that block

and balancing it on top of the tower...

- Doesn't seem that hard.

- ...creating a progressively taller,

yet less stable structure.

- This is cake.

Jax and I used to do it all the time.

- I'm totally freaking out on the inside right now.

- Oh, come on, Ben.

No problem. We got this.

Ben, I seriously don't know what you were so worried about.

- Those aren't the blocks we have to move.

- They're not?

- No.

Those are the blocks we have to move.

- Easy breezy.

Come on, let's do this.

- We should really get some helmets

and padded shoes.

- *

- Lift this block high, safely towards the sky.

[powers zapping]

- *

- A little too high in the sky.

Uh, Ben?

- Floating high is so sweet.

But let's bring it to our feet.

- [block thuds heavily]

- I'm so sorry.

- No, no, no, no. I'm okay.

- Yeah, that left a mark.

- But I'm sure with some floor cleaner,

and two to three hours of hard scrubbing,

it'll come right out.

- *

- What did the other WITs say?

- They're convinced that Andi's a jinx.

- Good. It's working.

- They did say that if the door wasn't locked,

it never would have happened,

and Samantha wouldn't have gotten expelled.

- That had nothing to do with it.

- Hey, guys. Sorry I'm late.

I feel kinda sick.

I think it was the French toast.

- Maybe you should go to the nurse.

- We only have two days to practice.

- I'm sorry.

- All right, let's go.

But afterwards, we're practicing something different.

Ever heard of trickster spells?

- [humming]

Just for sport, let these blocks tele-transport.

[powers zapping]

- [blocks clattering] - [gasping]

Ow! Ethan!

What are you doing?

- Um...nothing?

- Have your Guardian report to me at the end of the day.

- Yes, sir.

- *

- You wanted to see me?

- I did? I mean, I did, yes.

Earlier today, Ethan was left unattended

and was obviously using unwieldy magic to--

- Oh, I'm sorry, it's just my other WIT,

Emily, had a bit of a tummy ache,

so I had to take her to the nurse.

- How kind and maternal of you.

- They're my little responsibilities.

- Well, if you could just tell Ethan

to be a tad bit more careful,

I'd really appreciate it. - Of course.

So, enough about them. Let's talk about you.

- [high-pitched voice] Me?

Well, I'm just preparing for the beginning

of your Guardian Dinner.

You're coming, right?

- I don't know.

Will Andi be there?

- Probably.

What's wrong?

- They say she's, uh...

oh, forget it.

- No, tell me.

- They say she's a jinx.

What if something had happens?

- [whispering] I'll protect you.

Besides, the Guardian cake is, uh, amazing.

It's Agamemnon's favorite.

- Then I wouldn't miss it for the world.

- Don't worry. I'll make sure nothing happens.

- And I'll make sure it will.

- Move the bottom block to the upper left corner.

- JESSIE: Now that Ben's head... - BEN: Now that my head...

- JESSIE & BEN: ...has protection,

we can move these blocks with perfection.

[powers zapping]

- [blocks thud heavily]

- Come on. Can I go?

- No, Ben still has to work on his finish.

- I came here to have fun.

This isn't fun. This is like prison.

And you're the guard.

- There is no "I" in "team."

- There are three i's in irritating.

There are no i's in fun.

There's Ben in a block house. See ya later. I'm done.

[powers zapping]

- [blocks thudding] - What?

Don't move. I'll be right back.

- BEN: I'll be here.

- [sighing] Jessie, look, I know this is hard, okay?

But hiding isn't going to make it any--

easier.

- [laughing]

Andi is lame, but I'm having a blast.

She can't catch me yet, so make me super fast.

[powers zapping]

- *

- JESSIE: What? Are you tired?

- I could do this all day.

- JESSIE: Andi's getting close, I have to flee.

Make everyone in here dress like me.

[powers zapping]

- Agamemnon will hear about this.

- [mixed conversations]

- Aha! Gotcha!

- Big deal, you caught me.

Still not gonna practice with you.

- How do you expect us to graduate,

if you refuse to practice?

- Tell you what.

I'll practice when I think I can learn something from you.

- *

- [powers zapping]

- *

- Whew.

- Next time I talk to my dad,

he's not gonna believe that my WITs

beat out his WITs' blockers record.

- It never gets old hearing it.

Say it again.

- Next time I talk to my dad

he's not gonna believe that--

Oh, hi, Ben.

- Hey, guys.

So, you're having some good practices.

- Would you like to come and watch us for a while?

Maybe learn some tips?

- I'd love to. Thanks, guys.

- Ben?

- LUKE: You got it.

- SEAN: You're great.

- [block thuds]

- BEN: Thanks, guys.

- Ben?

How...?

How'd you do that?

- Luke gave me some tips.

- Old Guardian family secrets.

- That's great.

Hey, Ben, it looks like

we're gonna have to practice without Jessie today.

- How's that gonna work?

- We're gonna work on some solo technique

and, um, maybe get some lunch.

- BEN: I already had lunch.

- Have another lunch.

- You know, my Uncle Leo had a tough time with his WITs.

- Save it. I'm good. Ben, you ready?

- I guess.

- Wait, B, give me the WIT bit.

- What?

- *

- Is that it?

- The shortened version.

- LUKE: Good luck. - ANDI: Thank you.

Okay, so, crazy question.

And I don't even know why I'm saying this out loud.

- Say it out loud.

- Could you look at me with your Magic Meter

and tell me what you see?

- What? Why?

- I just wanna see something.

Well, I want you to tell me if you see something.

- Okay.

Oh, my gosh.

- What? What do you see?

- You have a serious mustard stain on your shirt.

- That's from Ben's second lunch.

- No magic on you. - [sighing]

- You're not worried about this jinx rumor, are you?

- It's just that...

I've had the biggest string of bad luck

ever since I got here.

If it's not a jinx, could it be me?

- AGAMEMNON ANNOUNCING: Attention, students!

Miss Cruz, please report to me immediately.

- Be right there.

- Go get 'em.

- [sighing] Did you fix it?

- Well, it's not working.

But I am able to get some sorta nature show.

- Oooh?

- MALE NARRATOR: The bald eagle is, in fact,

not bald, but covered with feathers.

- Uh, Miss Cruz, I've heard reports

that you're having a bit of difficulty

with your students, specifically Jessie.

- Yeah? Who'd you hear that from?

- Jessie.

Cameron said she was tossing spells at the cafeteria,

so when I called her in,

she explained to me that she did it all

to avoid training with you.

She also requested a new Guardian for her duration here.

- Well, you know what?

We're still in that uncomfortable,

"getting to know each other" phase.

- And how long will this phase last?

- Well, at this rate, a few years.

- CAMERON: [laughs]

- Cameron, are you done?

- I think so, sir.

- [electrical zapping]

- I'd say a couple more minutes.

- What did you tell her?

- AGAMEMNON: [on monitor] That each team,

WITs and Guardian, are selected for a reason.

It is not possible to switch.

- Good.

- AGAMEMNON: Hm, why do you say that?

- Well, because Jessie is a good student

and she will be a great witch.

Despite our rough beginning, I truly believe in her,

and what she, Ben and I can accomplish.

- AGAMEMNON: Cameron and I have to finish up here,

but we will see you tonight at the Guardians Dinner.

[laughing] I hear the cake is tiered this year.

- Nice speech.

I hope it helps.

- What speech?

- The whole academy heard you

sing Jessie's praises in Agamemnon's office.

- Is that why they're whispering this time?

- Nah, most of them still think you're a jinx.

- EMILY & ETHAN: We are making a mess,

which we'll never confess, let the chaos start now,

one, two, three, pow! [powers zapping]

- You know, if I was a jinx,

the first thing I'd do is teach her a lesson.

- [powers zapping] - Oh! Yuck!

- What are you doing?

- [powers zapping] - Ow!

- Oh! Gross! Ketchup!

- [powers zapping]

- Hey!

- It's Andi the jinx. - It's not me.

- [powers zapping]

- What the...? Hay?

- Let me top it off by tele-transporting the cake away.

- Go for it.

- This is fun and good, but we want more.

Take that cake away for jinx galore.

[powers zapping]

- [small explosion]

[small explosion]

- Oh, Ethan!

Where...am I?

- *

- RUBY: No windows.

No doors.

How am I gonna get outta here?

- *

- Whoa.

- *

[new powers zapping]

I have magic powers?

- *
