BOTH: Whoa, Davey Parker?

AMY: Previously on Spellbound...

- David Parker! I think this is my dad's book.

[suspenseful music]

JEFF: We got a winner.

Going to the next level is The BLOK.

[all cheering]

- Why are you suddenly absorbing Cece's Mystic magic?

- Could it be because we kissed?

- A Mystic. Always have been.

Pairing will give you access to all the Mystic knowledge

that you'll need.

Cece, Mystics work in pairs,

but you know when you find the right Mystic to pair with.

- I'm your Mystic pair.

You're safe with me. I promise.

[suspenseful music]

CECE: So, yeah, my dad's a Mystic, which is insane.

And I think Jade might be here to help me.

- Okay, freeze. Back up.

You're glossing over some pretty important points.

- I know, it's so much information

in a very short period of time.

My dad said that all Mystics pair to elevate their magic

and get knowledge.

And then Jade told me that she came here to be my pair.

- And you believe her?

- No.

I don't know.

Technically, she is the only Mystic that I know.

- But she's already proven to be so sneaky.

- What did Jade say to you exactly?

- That she should have told me right away,

but she didn't wanna freak me out,

and then I had to find my Mystic side authentically,

which is why she stayed back.

That part tracks.

- But why spy on us through the mirror?

- I know, right?

In order to find out who I am, I have to at least

give her the chance to prove herself.

I don't know what else to do.

I'll be careful. I am the Wise One.

I have skills, you guys.

- Okay, fine. But I am on high alert.

- Extreme high alert.

- Okay, here's the plan.

I think that we should try...

[thermometer beeps]

- It's normal.

- Whoa, what is that?

- Pure Mystic magic.

I was able to separate the Mystic essence

from the essence in Cece's vial.

I'm gonna give some to you.

- [scoffs] No, no, no. No way.

I am not having that fever again.

- If my science is right,

it should help protect you from Cece's Mysticness.

- How?

- I'm gonna introduce the Mystic essence into your body,

and it's gonna work up a resistance to it,

kind of like the vaccine.

- Are you sure this is gonna work?

- No, but we have to try.

[thermometer beeps]

Temperature is steady.

[both laugh] - Yes.

Oh, yes.

SINGER: ♪♪ Get together, all right ♪♪

♪♪ I'm gonna move my feet, turn my head to the beat ♪♪

♪♪ Make a move, my girls, we always like to compete ♪♪

♪♪ We showstoppers, party rockers ♪♪

♪♪ There's no stopping us, no, girl ♪♪

♪♪ I get nervous, can't top us ♪♪

JEFF: Okay, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Okay, rehearsals for Sleeping Beauty

officially begin right now.

Are y'all ready? Let's do this.

Positions, please.

Ooh, I'm so psyched.

- We don't have our roles, sir.

- Sir?

Oh, that's hilarious.

And, uh, also, what?

Uh, I verbalized them, didn't I?

I'm not big on administrative stuff.

I know, I know, I said I'd write it down, but--whoops.

Okay, here we go.

[playful music]

Your spins were killer,

so it's the spindle for you, my friend.

Mm-hmm.

And obviously, these two superstars are the fairies.

Good for you, Cece. And evil for you, Jade.

And, uh, the neutral fairy for you, Mia.

Keep these two in line, will ya?

MIA: [laughing] Okay.

- Just--just--I do it.

It's me, how I do it. Okay.

- See, even Mr. Chase can see we're a good pair.

- I still have a lot of questions,

and I need to talk to my mom first about all of this.

- Yeah, of course.

I'm super close to my mom too.

JEFF: That's good work. Benoit.

Let's throw out gender stereotypes

and go with a sleeping dude.

- Thank you, sir.

- Mm-hmm.

You three are the townsfolk.

You over there, you're gonna be the prince's family.

Mm-hmm.

And Simone,

you're the princess who will save the day.

- Thank you.

JEFF: Mm-hmm.

- What about my role, sir?

- Oh, right.

Uh...

join the townspeople, dude.

And you can understudy these two, okay?

Are we all good? [laughs] Okay.

All right.

Let's do it.

- It's fine.

[pensive music]

♪♪ ♪♪

MIA: Hey, are you okay?

- It's always those two, and I'm always last.

- That's not true.

- And without my A Jeté Minute,

I've become completely invisible.

- Be careful what you're projecting, Finn.

You're not invisible.

You need to go to a place where you can be number one,

a place where you can believe in yourself

and be in the spotlight you deserve.

Find your spotlight.

- Yeah.

You're right.

[suspenseful music]

- It's dry as a bone.

- It's exactly what the news said.

I went all the way down to the river to check.

It's completely dry.

Are all the plants wilting?

- Yes.

And here's why I think it's happening.

Watch.

♪♪ ♪♪

Mystic magic is destroying everything it touches.

And I think the stronger Cece gets,

the more destruction we'll see.

You know the proverb-- when the rivers run dry

and the plants all die, the war will have started.

- But no one is actually fighting yet.

I don't get it.

- It means that everything has already been set in motion.

But what? AMY: [gasps]

Is it because Cece's been dumping her Mystic magic

into the river?

- Oh, man.

What if they think Cece's doing it on purpose?

Like, she's chosen Mystic, and this is her signal

to the other Mystics.

- Whoa, so, like, Cece's called the Mystics

to war just by trying to get rid of her Mystic magic?

- We need to warn her before it's too late.

[playful piano music]

JEFF: And yup.

Stronger start off the top, please.

Give me more, more, more.

Yes, Jade. No!

Stronger.

Higher on the lip, please.

Thank you.

Come on, pick up the legs.

Stronger arms, Benoit.

Okay. Oh, what are you doing?

What are you doing?

Is this second division?

I don't think so.

Yes!

Let's go. And again.

Oh, come on. You guys aren't tired, are you?

Guys, gals, you're ballet dancers.

Act like it.

None of this, oh, I'm tired for dancing

for six straight hours, aw.

Come on.

Buck up.

[sighs]

Oh, dudes, I'm totally just joking.

You should have seen your faces.

[scattered laughter]

Oh, man. Seriously, you guys killed it.

You totally deserve a break.

Go, fly, fly, be free.

Go stuff your faces and then get massages.

Class dismissed.

[playful music]

♪♪ ♪♪

[indistinct chatter]

- Hey. How are you holding up?

- Jeff's even more intense than Armando.

I didn't think that was possible.

- Need some help with that?

- What do you mean?

JADE: Feel better? CECE: Yeah. Thanks.

- You know you could do that yourself, right?

- I know, but I don't like to use it like that.

I'm a dancer first.

I like to feel the burn.

I think we should talk.

- Oh, yeah, I was gonna say the same thing.

Fancy a snack?

- Yeah, I'm super hungry.

[pensive music]

♪♪ ♪♪

[upbeat music]

- I used to be really insecure about being a Mystic.

I used to just wanna hang out with the pedestrian kids.

But then I'd get social anxiety,

and my heart would race, and then I'd...

BOTH: Teleport.

- O-M-G, it's the worst when it happens by accident.

- The worst, especially when you're at a sleepover

and everyone thinks you got homesick and just left

in the middle of the night.

- So why me?

Like, how did you find out about me?

- So when you broke your protection spell,

it sort of went viral.

The whole Mystic/Wise One combo makes you super interesting.

And I love ballet, so it felt like a perfect match.

Okay, so time to let you in on all the Mystic secrets.

For starters, the more Mystic you become,

the more access you have to higher levels of magic.

So obviously, you know you can teleport

and read people's thoughts, but have you ever thought

about embodying someone?

- No. What's that?

- Oh, I need some jam. CECE: Okay.

[playful music]

♪♪ ♪♪

- You should try these crêpes with jam.

- What do you think you're doing?

Hey, that's mine.

JADE: Oh, what, didn't believe me about embodying someone?

Comes in pretty handy sometimes.

♪♪ ♪♪

CECE: That was stunning.

- Thank you. Thank you very much.

See, that's why I'm here,

to teach you everything about being Mystic

so you can level up.

Here, watch this.

- You're controlling his movement?

So what's it called if you're seeing through someone's eyes

but you still see yourself?

- Oh, that's a lower level ability.

It's called perspective.

- I think I did that when I was dancing once.

- Yeah, it's pretty easy.

But seriously, you should try to embody someone.

- Oh, no, I can't, not yet, anyway.

- Come on. I'm here to help.

[phone chimes]

- It's Bash. My mom's back.

- Ready?

[suspenseful music]

[both laugh]

- Mom.

- Oh.

[soft tense music]

♪♪ ♪♪

She looks just like her mother.

- Who, Jade?

- Shh.

Get her out of here.

- Come on. I'll walk you back to school.

♪♪ ♪♪

[laughter]

- With the little paws.

- Is it a surprise audition?

- Or are you feeling left out again?

- No, it's Finn.

I gave him a pep talk today.

I don't think it landed.

I think it needs to come from you.

- Yeah, that's fair. Thanks.

- Mom, what was that all about?

[apprehensive music]

Fine, you don't wanna talk.

I already talked to Dad.

I know all about the oath.

Why didn't you just tell me?

Come on. I can handle it.

Mom, I can't keep going into these situations blind.

You have to be straight with me.

What is this?

Mom, is it not that you won't tell me,

but that you actually can't?

While you were at the Elders', I did some snooping.

Then the A-Kith took me to the archives.

I found Dad's book in the hidden section,

and I somehow brought him to me?

We talked, but it was super fast,

and I didn't get all the information.

Now he's back to completely forgetting.

I'm gonna break this silence once and for all.

Show me what cannot be spoken

and any spell that must be broken.

Play the sleuth and show me the proof

and let my mother speak the truth.

♪♪ ♪♪

- You sure you wanna do this?

- This is the only way.

LIZZIE: But you won't have your magic if--

- It's okay.

To build a bond that will not break,

I rescind my rank and Mystic state.

I denounce my power and my namesake with this oath.

I pledge from fire to lake.

- To build a bond that will sustain,

I will embrace your blazing flame.

I promise to protect your name.

This oath, I pledge, from dust to rain.

Oh, thanks.

You released me.

I'm no longer bound by those words.

Honey, everything would have been so much easier

if I could just have told you the truth.

- Music to my ears.

- David thought giving up his magic was the answer.

- To what?

- Parker relatives are--

- Are exiled, I know.

But why?

LIZZIE: I'm not quite sure.

He never wanted to tell me.

He thought it was too dangerous.

- So who is Zoe?

BOTH: She was your dad's Mystic pair.

They were paired together as teens.

Together, they were very powerful.

- Whoa. So Jade is her daughter?

- And got close to you by being your roommate.

Oh, man, that is so Mystic.

They are so sneaky.

- When your dad gave up his magic, Zoe lost hers too.

She vowed to spend the rest of her days destroying his life.

And we never heard from her again.

[suspenseful music]

♪♪ ♪♪

- I have an idea.

- What are you guys up to?

Can you get this off of me right n--

- Every now and then, you just need someone to see you

and say, hey, you aren't seeing the big picture.

- And somebody to say, hey, you're a great dancer.

- You know what you are?

Solid, strong.

We can always count on you.

- And you take risks. You took a giant risk

to get the fairy godmother part last year.

- You bested Mia.

I've never seen her so rattled.

- But what if I--

- If you just sit back and watch...

[bright orchestral music playing]

Because this guy on the screen is awesome.

And I'm here to tell him that, when it gets hard,

you just gotta push.

[soft piano music playing]

♪♪ ♪♪

FINN: [sighs]

But maybe I don't fit in here, though.

- Remember when you auditioned?

Do you know what I remember from that day?

- That I was terrified?

- No, that you were kind.

JACK: We love you, bro.

BENOIT: It wouldn't be the same without you.

- Thanks, guys.

You're the best.

- And again. - Thank you.

♪♪ ♪♪

- Jade, I wasn't expecting you.

I take it whatever you had planned didn't work,

or did you bring her?

Is she here?

- No, I came alone.

I want to know about the crown

and the real reason you sent me to get Cece.

- You're right. I was going to tell you.

I just didn't want to complicate your mission.

David Parker took everything from me.

I've been without magic for years.

- He was your pair who betrayed you,

the one we were never allowed to ask about.

- He ruined everything.

- So why Cece?

Seems like your beef is with her dad.

- I want her magic--

to make up for all the years I've gone without.

Parker ruined your future, too, Jade.

They owe us.

Because of Cece, the crown is no longer yours.

She's the heir, but it should be you.

- So you lied?

- Yes.

I--I did what I thought I needed to to achieve the goal.

It got us here, didn't it?

If we want to successfully drain all the Wizens for good,

you'll need my knowledge and power.

- Of course, Mom.

What do I do next?

- Bring me the initiation kit from the Mystic crypts.

You'll need some things.

Garnier basement.

This will show you exactly how to get there.

Use this.

The entrance is only visible

through the reflection of a mirror.

Do you understand?

- It's in the Garnier?

It was there the whole time?

- This isn't news, Jade.

- Oh, I know. I'm just excited.

To pair.

- You will share the crown as sisters,

and I will reign as queen mother until you're ready.

- And what if Cece's not down with that?

- Once we gain access to Cece's powers,

she'll never see the light of day again.

- I'll be back as soon as I can.

♪♪ ♪♪

- You okay? - How did it go?

GINGER: Tell me everything from the beginning.

JADE: What?

I've gotta get out of here.

CECE: I'm safe. No worries.

Where's Jade?

♪♪ ♪♪

- Did you forget something?

- What did you tell her?

- What? Tell who?

- That wasn't me.

If you had any magic at all,

you would have known that was Cece.

- Leave us.

Oh, no.

She knows where the crypts are.

We have to go.

- No.

I have to.

There is no more we.

- Jade, be reasonable.

- Mother, it's the only way I get the Empress Crown,

is if I pair with Cece.

- Yes--as long as you're both practicing witches,

you could only reign if she pairs with you.

Otherwise, she outranks you, and we get nothing.

This is all David Parker's fault.

- Call every Mystic to the Garnier

on Friday at 8:00 p.m.

I'm going to pair with Cece Parker-Jones.

And then...

I'm going to take the crown.
