- I hate it when he says that.

- The bad news is that today's class is canceled.

- I think you have good and bad confused, Professor.

- MAXWELL: Then let me tell you the good news.

The department has assigned two magical outbreaks

for you to handle.

You'll find everything regarding your tasks in these.

Now I must be off. - But what if we need you?

- Uh, Lily's the senior fairy in charge of you,

so you'll be fine.

- LILY: That's our magical water fountain?

It doesn't look very magical.

- RUKSY: [giggles]

- It's not funny. - Yes, it is.

- A water fountain with a mind of its own

is no laughing matter.

- Since when did you get all serious?

- Since the professor put me in charge.

This magic could spread through the plumbing

and affect the whole city. Let's go.

I want to get this done before the elves.

- It's not a race.

- It's always a race with Imogen and Darra.

Come on!

- Why did you invite Kyra?

This is a chance to impress the department.

- Kyra needs to learn.

And you taught her how to jump. - Remember how long that took?

- DARRA: As I remember it, pretty quick.

- What exactly are we looking for?

- Uh, a special kind of tree. - What's special about it?

- It's a magical tree created by a wizard for his garden.

A bird must've eaten a seed and dropped it here.

We have to deal with the tree before it becomes too...active.

- Active, as in? - Mm, you'll see.

First task is to locate it. - KYRA: How?

- IMOGEN: I'll know it when I see it.

We should split up and search.

Kyra? - You're with me.

Good hunting, Sis.

- ♪

- Well, Professor Maxwell. I haven't seen you in a while.

You're looking well, Trevor.

Wouldn't make any difference if I did, eh?

Come to check up on us?

Boring, but necessary.

Nice to see you, Orla.

- ♪

- I presume this is about Kyra.

- Lily told me what happened.

Was Kyra really able to communicate remotely

with the library? - She was.

- A little concerned you didn't tell me about it first.

- I wanted to think about it.

That level of ability is...unusual.

- To say the least.

Perhaps you could give me a full report now.

- Ruksy, I'm going to let you go first at this.

- Is that because you don't know what to do?

- Of course not.

I'm letting you go because it can't be too complicated

or the DMI wouldn't have given us this chance.

- I'll try a basic removal spell.

- [magic tinkling]

- That should do it. - That seemed very easy.

- Well, you said the DMI

wouldn't give us anything too hard.

- [splash]

- [water dripping on metal]

- You said it wasn't funny.

- KYRA: Do you think this is the tree?

- There's one way to tell.

We can see if its aura's been affected.

- Its...aura?

- All living things have an aura.

Humans can't detect it-- well, most humans can't.

But all magical beings can.

- Sounds like a fairy thing to me.

- Well, elves can detect auras too.

We just don't boast about it.

- [chortles]

No magic.

- [wind gust] - [electrity zaps]

- Wow.

It feels like... it's been electrified.

- That's how you know the tree is magic.

- It just needs to be deactivated.

I'll put a spell around the roots

and the tree will suck it up.

- You're gonna do this on your own?

- You don't think I can?

- It's supposed to be a team effort.

- I could do this in the time it takes you

to go to the café and get us all a juice.

So why don't you? - You'll never do it.

- I'll go slow, give you extra time.

- Watermelon, orange, and mint, yeah?

- Thanks.

Loser pays.

- You said yourself the Tri-ling's powers

were unpredictable.

Perhaps remote magic was one of them.

- So why does it only appear now?

On a beach which does not permit the normal use of magic?

- And yet, she sent a message to the library.

How do you explain that?

Because there's only one answer I can think of,

and I would rather not be thinking of it.

- [magic tinkling]

- Exposure to the Lenorian Orb,

which you and the Architect were sent to recover.

- That's simply not possible, Sean.

Edward and I never recovered the orb.

- Well, what happened on the beach

would suggest otherwise.

- ♪

- You know, there's an upside when your parents are separated.

Drop a hint about something you want, and you get it.

The worst thing is they both get the hint

Earth to Peter?

- Wireless earbuds. Cool!

These are the ones with the GPS? - Yeah, so you don't lose them.

I hardly see her these days, so maybe you could--

We just sort of, uh...bumped into each other.

Crazy publicity stunt. It went right by here.

You didn't happen to see it, did you?

- Right. - Right.

I better be going. Nice seeing you.

- Then why was he so keen to have you come with us?

- Like he said, he's trying to help me learn.

What is with you, Imogen?

- If we don't fix this,

we'll never hear the end of it from Imogen and Darra.

- You could call your dad.

What's the point of having a father who's the head of DMI

if you can't ask for help occasionally?

- Nobody is calling anyone's father.

The professor put me in charge.

We're going to fix it ourselves.

- How?

I was wondering if it needs both of us.

You know, double the wand power.

- Well, if we use more power, we might attract attention.
