FINN: Previously on Spellbound...

I'm off to Oxford.

- What? He's leaving?

FINN: 9.5% of Vidvids are fake.

Don't believe everything you see.

Are we friends again?

- Always, bro.

- What kind of Wizen is Mia Banks?

Are you okay? - I'm all good.

- Nothing is working.

- I wanted to order one of your baskets

for someone special.

- I hope she enjoys it.

- I usually get my mother flowers

for her birthday.

- Your mother, yes. [both chuckling]

- There she is. We had such romantic time

at the spotlight workshop this summer in London.

- Maybe we're just better off as dance partners.

- Hi.

- Hey, you.

- How am I exceptional at everything

but terrible at this?

BOTH: She's a chaos Wizen.

- Let's just add some more chaos, shall we?

- Hello. PERSON: Turn around.

The stranger is behind you.

- [yelps]

What is this?

How did I do this?

- Cece drained me.

She's getting stronger.

I need to find a way to split them up.

- Wow, Simone, you did it.

You did the perfect lift.

- I know.

And I got the lead in the showcase.

I can't believe it.

- You deserve it.

SIMONE: Aw, thanks.

- Okay, gotta jet. Congrats.

You're amazing, and I love you, and I can't wait to see you.

- Same. Only a few weeks now.

Talk later.

[phone beeps]

- I am so proud of her.

But I'm also freaking out.

- Yeah, I can't pull that lift off.

That's next level.

I'm not balleting hard enough.

- "Balleting" isn't a word.

- Is that all you got from what I just said?

I'm serious.

I've been so busy with...

[whispering] Magic.

[normal volume] I've been so busy with,

you know, life in general.

[mouthing word]

It's been taking over my life,

especially since what happened with the greenhouse.

I'm falling behind.

- Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

I'm quite impressed with Simone.

And I too, feel like maybe... [mouthing word]

Has held far too much of my attention this semester.

- Okay, it's time to focus on dance

like we've never focused on dance before.

We need to get leads in the mid-season showcase.

And...

[whispering] No magic...

[normal volume] Until after the auditions.

Deal? - Deal. None.

We need to earn these roles

through sheer hard work and talent.

- Okay, now you just sound like a motivational meme.

Pinky promise.

- I'm not eight.

- Mia, pinky promise.

- Okay, fine.

Now let's get to the studio

and get right to work right now.

- No offense, but I need to get right to pairs work.

- Oh. Oh.

Uh, yeah.

Uh, I have a plan too.

Just you wait and see.

I'm gonna go on my daily lunch run,

which motivates my dancing.

So I'm right on track.

[playful music]

See you in class.

♪♪ ♪♪

- Will you be my partner for the mid-season

showcase audition?

- Good morning to you too.

- Sorry, laser-focused.

So what do you say?

- Of course.

Not just because we're statistically a great match,

but we've proven our dance chemistry in the past.

- About that. - What?

- Okay, I hope this doesn't hurt your feelings,

but I've been trying to figure it out since London.

We have great dance chemistry,

but I think we keep trying to make it the other kind.

- I've been trying to figure out what went wrong in London.

- Nothing went wrong.

It's just a different kind of chemistry.

- I think you're right.

We're great on the dance floor,

but I think we're destined to be--

- Great friends.

- Great...friends.

- Which we already are.

- Yeah.

- Okay, let's do this.

- Yeah, lead roles in the mid-season showcase.

- Exactly.

We have all weekend to rehearse,

and I have a great idea.

Let's go.

Come on.

- Hey. - Hey.

- So I mentally prepared a rehearsal schedule

while I was on my run.

I'll have it laminated

and with you by this afternoon.

It's intense, but we need it.

We have to win.

- Babe, what are you talking about?

I already partnered with Jade.

- [scoffs] Jade?

[tense music]

Sorry, Jade?

Why Jade?

- She--she said it was your idea.

- [chuckles] My idea?

- Yeah. - My idea?

Why my idea?

- She said that you said it was important

to partner with the best.

Oh, and thanks, babe, for thinking I'm the best.

- I meant that I was going to partner with the best,

and if I'm following your logic

and you also wanted to partner with the best

and you accepted Jade's invitation without even

a thought to talk to me first,

then I can only conclude that

you think that she's the best, hmm?

Am I right? Ugh!

- Wait, I thought it was your idea.

INSTRUCTOR: That's it.

And lift.

And arch.

- Okay, so how does it make you feel

when you look at that?

- Honestly, slightly terrified.

CECE: Me too, which is exactly why we need

to do it for our audition.

- Wait, what? Are you crazy?

We want to get the leads,

not fall flat on our faces.

- Whoa. Where's that Benoit confidence?

Come on, we're totally gonna get those leads.

BENOIT: But we already know lots of moves

that are almost as impressive.

If we do this, we run the risk of total failure.

- This is one of the most important

auditions of the year. - Exactly.

Why do you want to take such a huge risk now?

- Because I'm canceling my comfort zone, and yours too.

We got this, if we start right now.

- I just want to get on record that this is a terrible idea.

- Noted. Come on.

- "We're totally gonna get those leads."

Barf.

- Yes.

Great job.

You've earned a break.

- That was such a great lift.

- Thank you.

- I can't believe her, manipulating Jack like that.

- Hey, maybe she was sincerely taking your advice

and she just misunderstood.

There's no reason to jump to conclusions.

- I'm not loving this new vibe, Finn.

If you don't get your competitive spark back,

I'll get it back for you.

- What does that mean?

- Nothing. Just get your edge back.

I need you at a 10 to elevate us to greatness,

not only for leads in the show,

but to show that Jade who's boss.

- Make sure you don't let anyone

anywhere near the door, okay?

- Is this really worth breaking the rules?

- Uh, yeah, it really is.

- Fine. - Come on, let's go.

- Okay, let's do it.

[quirky music]

[laughing]

- [sighs]

- Okay. Again.

[laughing]

- Stop laughing.

This insanity was your idea.

- I'm sorry.

- Take it seriously.

- I'm just super ticklish.

Okay.

- No, no.

Okay.

- We're never gonna get this.

- We will, Cece Parker-Jones.

CECE: Come on, we can do this.

BENOIT: Yeah, but maybe we need to try something else.

- We need to wow Armando.

- Maybe don't jump that fast on me.

- What if I lift you?

No, no, no, okay.

- See? Yeah, let's not do that, okay?

- We need to be better than everyone else.

How else are we gonna get those roles?

- We can wow without a lift.

- Focus, and try to hold me up in the air for more than

a microsecond, okay?

We need this victory.

- Nope. Nope.

- [grunting]

- Nope.

No, no, no.

As if.

Anyway, it's late for you.

I was looking for a shortcut in the dining hall.

- In order to elevate, we must accelerate.

[shimmering tone]

- You know what?

This isn't even funny.

- Hey, why did you do my lift with Jade?

- Your lift? You don't own the lift.

- I meant our lift, and you knew it.

- How could I know it if you don't say it?

Oh, like in London.

Maybe you should have said then that we only have

dance chemistry instead of just waiting until now.

- London was a complete disaster because

you wouldn't stop showing me dance videos.

- Because you love dance.

- I love to dance.

- You're just trying to sabotage me

by telling Jade to be my partner.

- I didn't tell her to partner with you, Jack.

You did that all by yourself. - You know what?

Maybe you should just date your laminator.

- [gasps] Ugh!

- Mia, jealous much?

Leave Jack alone. You too, Cece.

Benoit and I are just friends.

- Maybe we need to do a group meditation

to calm the bad chi.

ALL: Not now, Finn!

- Well, pardon me all over the place

for trying to help.

Where's the love and light?

Silence.

I've never been so disappointed in a class in my entire career.

This is outrageous.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Instead, you will have adjudications.

amazing dance partners who go on

We're also supposed to become étoiles together.

- Absolutely.

And I'm sorry too.

But hey, tell me something.

Why did the lift work with Jade and not me?

What was different?

Her balance was different, I guess.

She didn't propel forward.

I did use magic.

I think I did something bad.

- Tell me everything.

- Okay, well, I wanted to get my spark back with Jack,

who, by the way, for no reason I can comprehend,

suddenly partnered with Jade.

So then I was left with Finn,

who completely lost his competitive spark.

So I thought, for efficiency's sake,

why not do a spark spell for both of them

at the same time?

But I got everything mixed up,

and now everything is canceled,

and it's all my fault.

- Oh, no.

- I know. - No.

"Oh, no," like, I think part of this is my fault.

I may have boosted the spell.

But why would the spell spark a fight

Mia, you're a curse Wizen.

You're casting curses.

And curses love chaos, so it's, like, doubling down.

You're gonna be so strong.

This is such a rare pairing.

It's a gift.

- Curses?

Chaos?

How is that a gift?

- It's very special.

Your curses are only intended to protect people from harm.

You only send an ill wish to an enemy.

- Um...

CECE: Mia, what did you do?

- In my defense, I didn't know what I was dealing with

or that I was so strong.

I didn't mean for her to get hurt.

I just wanted to ruin her day.

I was so mad about her and Jack.

There may have been a teeny, tiny ill dish.
