JACK: Previously on Spellbound...

CECE: What the actual what?

- I'll be live again tomorrow at noon for Live, Lunch, Laugh.

- Did he just say Finnsters?

- What is this place?

AMY: The Wizen Archives.

- You're registered here by a woman claiming

to be your biological mom, who was a Wizen.

She didn't leave a name.

It just confirms maternal Wizen status.

CECE: I wanna see if I can find my mom's book.

That's weird.

- I'm going to outrank even Cece.

- Adrian! - Bye-bye.

PERSON: My shoulder hurts.

PERSON: Mine's actually good today. Did he notice?

SIMONE: Cece? Cece?

You seem distracted.

- I'm sorry. Can we catch up later?

- Sounds good. Take it easy, okay?

- Thanks. Miss you.

PERSON: I've gotten really good at knitting.

PERSON: We need to schedule a movie night.

[overlapping speech]

- Just make it stop!

- Cece, we aren't dancing in the sun.

- Sir, I have pink eye.

I have a doctor's note.

- Very well. Keep them on then.

Make sure to extend there, please, and posture.

Better.

MIA: Mental laminate: make Jack another

winner smoothie with extra spirulina.

JACK: I feel so gross.

If I have to drink another one of Mia's winner smoothies,

I might barf.

JADE: Cece's such a great dancer.

ARMANDO: Oh, I should send a message back to Ginger.

She's very pretty.

I wonder if she likes Thai food.

- Oh, no. Please don't.

- Excuse me, Ms. Parker-Jones? - Sorry.

That was an inside thought that snuck outside.

I was just telling myself to please

don't stop believing in my abilities as a dancer, sir.

- Very well. Jade, I would you

to show us what you were doing

before the interruption. It was excellent.

Everyone pause.

Take a look, please.

[gentle piano music playing]

♪♪ ♪♪

Very good.

Now then, I would like you all to find an accountability

partner to rehearse with for ten extra hours a week.

Someone who will make sure you do

those ten extra hours a week, not just nine.

Someone who will keep you working, no matter what,

and you do the same for them.

So from now until winter break,

let's really get our technique up to par.

Yes?

Jade here has set the bar.

That's all for today. Thank you.

MIA: You're with me.

JADE: I wish Cece was my partner.

- Lola figured out a way how to spell

the Wizen texts into audio books

so we can rehearse and learn.

- Seriously?

I don't need any more audio in my head.

- What does that even mean?

Look, we start today.

You saw Jade's arabesque.

It was exquisite.

Which means mine now needs to be extra exquisite.

She won't know what hit her once I'm done with her.

Now, come on.

[tense music]

AMY: Oh, yay! Cece's back.

- I just need quiet!

[screams]

What the--where are we?

- [whispering] Shh. It's a game.

- What? - Shh.

No, no, no, no, no.

When I did the absorber spell on Adrian,

this is where I ended up.

Check the walls for cracks.

That's where Kevin hit.

- What? AMY: We need to get out.

- What if he's still in here?

[tense music]

♪♪ ♪♪

- How do you think we ended up here?

What if the Mystics have figured out

how to send us here?

We'll be stuck in this tiny, windowless room forever.

This is fully Mystic, Cece.

Prepare yourself.

CECE: Okay. Listen to me.

I have something to tell you, and it's serious,

but you can't freak out no matter what, okay?

Wizen pinky promise.

I'm part Mystic.

- The other roommate is a new Wizen,

though I don't think she's very powerful yet.

ZOE: Well, let's not assume.

The last thing we need is another Wizen

getting in our way.

Can you get her alone and try to work out

who she is, how close she is to Cece, her agenda?

- On it. ZOE: Good girl.

Call me later.

- Okay. Bye, Mom.

[soft mischievous music]

♪♪ ♪♪

Hey, have you seen Cece?

MIA: No time for chit-chat.

If you have any questions, you better start plie-ing.

- I was just-- - Nuh-uh.

- No, I'm sorry. You're part Mystic?

- Yes. - No!

- Except yes. But please don't freak out.

- No. - It's still me. I promise.

- Since when? - Since forever, I think,

but also since the battle with Kevin.

- No. CECE: I know.

- How?

- We're not sure, but we think somewhere in my lineage

there must have been a mistake. We're just not sure where.

- We? Who else knows?

- My mom and Ginger. And now you.

But you really can't tell.

Not even Lola. You promised, remember?

- It's like my brain won't compute.

- I know.

- I was just getting used to being a Wizen.

I'm so confused, and I can't control it.

And I don't have help like I did with you guys.

I'm pretty scared.

- Oh, Cece.

I'm with you every step of the way.

Tell me everything.

- Thank you.

I mean it.

- I notice you don't have much dance on your socials.

- Oh, I'm not really into socials.

It distracts me from my mission.

- Which is?

- Being the best dancer in school and making company.

- How original.

- Well, that's why we're all here, isn't it?

Anyway, since I'm new, I need a study group.

I've noticed you and Cece are always studying together.

Maybe I could join you.

- We don't study together. JADE: Really?

I notice you're always in that corner with your notebooks,

talking or going out to hang at W.

I assumed you were studying.

- I tutor Cece.

Yeah.

Uh, she doesn't like to talk about it.

And in exchange, I hang out at W because I love

the smell of the essential oils.

- Oh, wow. That's my favorite place too.

It's an amazing brand.

Maybe we could all hang out there sometime.

Being the new girl could really suck sometimes.

I could use as many friends as I could get.

- Yeah, maybe.

Your technique is flawless.

- Thanks.

You're not so bad yourself. - I know.

I've been here since I was eight.

I live for dance.

- What about when you're not dancing?

- I'm always dancing.

- There's a lot of stuff about Mystics here.

Maybe we should do a fast-forward.

You take that half. I'll do this.

- That's a great idea.

- Read it fast and keep it stored.

We'll use our magic to record.

[whoosh]

[sped-up overlapping speech]

[upbeat music]

♪♪ ♪♪

Phew. That's better.

This says that Mystic magic burns resources,

which is why they leave dust behind.

Mystics use heat to warn Wizens that they're near,

to crowd us and suffocate us with their heat.

Heating things up, then turning into dust.

Look, these drawings of the A-Kith

say that its purpose is to trap, track, and boost magic.

Adrian used it to track me, and then when he gave it to me,

I think it triggered my Mystic magic.

My guess is it got boosted.

Oh, and I left the A-Kith at Ginger's this summer,

which is why nothing happened until I got back.

There's so much on the A-Kith. - This is good.

Each Mystic person has a special ability.

Some have more than one.

What's yours?

- I can teleport and hear people's thoughts.

But I'm not sure if that's something that

all Mystics can do or just me.

- So wait.

Something isn't quite adding up.

Adrian gave you the A-Kith,

and the first place it brought you is here.

BOTH: There are no coincidences.

- Okay.

I'm starting to freak out.

Do you think this is a trap?

- Yes. Yes, I do.

Stay calm.

We can't freak out now.

But I really think we're in a bad place.

[suspenseful music]

- Wait. I read something.

Okay. Maybe we should freak out.

This says that teleporting and transporting

are connected to the fight-or-flight response.

So if you're scared or startled and your heart rate elevates,

the adrenaline triggers the teleport.

What was that?

- I'm trying to fight or flight you.

- Oh, good call. Try again.

- You go, Mia Banks. Don't overdo it, though.

BENOIT: Oh, this is not gonna end well.

- Yeah, definitely not.

- You ready to give?

JADE: Not a chance.

So tell me, where are your family from?

- A small town called Kinsale,

known for its colorful storefronts.

- And what were you like as a kid?

- Exactly the same as I am now.

Stop trying to distract me.

[Mia yelps]

Hey, you're some fine competitor, Mia Banks.

Same time next week? - Yep. You betcha.

Great workout. Yeah?

- Yeah. Bye. MIA: Bye.

- Are you okay?

- I can't feel my legs.

I need ice, please.

And carry me.

- Bye.

- You let her get the best of you, babe.

- Ice, then lecture.

- Okay.

- Maybe there's a better way to get to know the girl.

- Yeah, you know how you get when there's new competition.

- I never back down from a challenge.

I have to establish the alpha position.

I'm a machine.

A machine!

Can I have some water?

BOTH: I'll go!

- Boo!

- That's not working.

- Fine.

- I can't find anything about getting out of here.

AMY: So Adrian siphoned Wizessence

to access the Wizen frequency.

So that must mean that our magic's

on different frequencies?

Is that how it works for you? Or can you hear everyone?

- I can hear pedestrians and Wizens.

And I could hear Adrian, so maybe?

I could hear you guys at the Wizen fountain

when I was battling Kevin.

What I don't know is how to do it intentionally.

- Can't you just, like, tune into it?

'Cause then maybe you could call for help.

- But it's not like I have a dial or anything.

- Try it. Try it on me.

[humming "Ode to Joy"]

BOTH: Dum, da, da!

[cheering]

- That's amazing. What a handy skill.

- Yeah, except I'm invading people's privacy.

I don't love that.

- True. Very Mystic.

- Okay, let's see what other abilities I can do.

- Um...

ooh, this is evil.

Controlling someone's movements.

LOLA: Oh, hey.

You were right--setting an intention helped me teleport.

But one teeny, tiny problem.

I'm here with you,

but I'm also in the back room with Lola.

- What?

- Oh, I think I read about this.

Where's that ability book?

I think I've bi-located.

The Mystics call it duality.

Oh, this is so weird.

The other me can't speak.

She's like me but with less skills.

I'm freaking out.

but you want them together.

Merge the call.

Okay. Let's do this.

I'm gonna merge the call.

No, no.

Don't panic. I can do this.

Almost there.

- Oh, you did it!

Thank you. Sorry.

I really didn't nail my reaction to that.

That's not magic I'm used to.

- I know. It's a lot.

The upside, the constant streaming thoughts are gone.

I shut them off.

- Shut what off?

- My negative self-talk.

- Oh. You okay?

CECE: Totally. Thanks.

LOLA: Ames, can you help me in the shop?

- Sure.

CECE: Wait. I didn't even think about Lola.

Are you gonna be able to keep this from her,

or do you need some help? - Good idea.

A little "do not tell" spell couldn't hurt.

- Okay.

- Okay. I need to get back to school.

- I just--

I can't believe that you're a Mys--

mystery lover like me.

CECE: We were at a mystery thing.

You know how Amy likes them.

You need to give it some more oomph.

It clearly didn't stick.
