GINGER: Previously on Spellbound...

LOLA: Mystic magic is destroying

everything it touches.

- Cece's called the Mystics

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

- Have you ever thought about embodying someone?

It comes in pretty handy sometimes.

- Who is Zoe?

- She was your dad's Mystic pair.

- Jade is her daughter.

- And got close to you by being your roommate.

- I have an idea.

- So, why Cece?

- I want her magic!

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

Bring me the initiation kit from the Mystic Crypts.

Use this.

[tense music]

- [gasps] That was Cece.

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.

- Good afternoon, ladies and gents.

We are live at the Opera Garnier in Paris

with one of the most talented class

of ballet dancers I've ever worked with.

This group is rehearsing for "Sleeping Beauty,"

which performs right here at the Garnier.

I know!

Super cool, right?

But guess what?

There's more.

Gang, you have just made top three and will be appearing

live for the finals on a special televised show

of "Dance Off" today!

This is the finale,

the big one, the all-important title.

And guess what,

the audience will get to vote for their favorite.

And the last dance has a theme.

It's games.

[excited murmuring]

Simone, would you care to do the honors?

♪♪ ♪♪

- Chess.

- I have so many ideas.

- Terrific, but if you don't mind,

I'm just kind of live here. All right.

In a live performance today from three

different locations around the world,

these crews will go head to head.

No pressure.

One take, one chance, one winner.

Welcome to the finale of "Dance Off"!

- No, what are we going to do? - We have to practice--

- It has to be perfect. It has to be perfect.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Guys, guys, guys.

You guys look terrified.

I mean, you guys should see how serious you look.

All right, uh, shake it off.

All right? You've earned this spot.

Now all you got to do is go out there and defend it.

Get it, y'all.

[laughs]

Uh--

where's my crew?

Nadia!

- Guys, this is awesome.

Pinch me.

I can't even believe this is happening!

- Guys, we have the second division show.

So what about injury?

We can't do both.

- Come on.

- We totally can, right, Cece?

- Yes, we can.

- I'm sure if you checked your planners,

they would be in complete opposition.

- Come on, B-boy.

The BLOK is fuel.

It gets us jazzed and pumped so our nerves don't destroy us.

- You guys, I've the best costume idea.

I need to talk to Ally.

I am so excited!

- Wait, don't we have rehearsal right now?

- Mental laminate says that you and Simone have fittings,

but I can carve out some time in between the chaos today

so we can rehearse.

- OK, we should see if we can find more people to dance

so we have a full chessboard.

- Great idea.

Let's ask around and find some volunteers.

- All right, let's get moving, because we have not one,

but deux finale to perform.

OK?

So--

- Go, team!

[laughter]

- Yeah!

Yeah.

- So what's the plan?

- OK, so right after the BLOK dance,

I'm going to sneak off and see if I

can find the Mystic Crypts.

- You're so calm.

I can't believe you embodied Jade.

Aren't you freaking out?

- Oh, I am freaking out.

And the Crypts are right here in the Garnier.

They've been underneath us, like, this entire time.

But they can only be found in a mirror.

- I can't believe it.

- I don't like the sound of this.

I'm not a fan of mirrors.

- [shrieking]

- Oh, and the entire Boston and Paris covens are crammed

into W, waiting for me.

Me.

I know I have to do some magic, but how

do I know which one to choose?

There's going to be a fight no matter what.

It's a lot for one person.

There's no instruction manual for this.

- Which is why you are a legend.

- OK, yeah.

Boom!

I can be a freaking legend.

- Yeah.

- Plus, I've got a mega curse up my sleeve

that'll bring the house down.

You go.

We won't let Jade out of our sight.

- Keep our enemies nice and close.

- Aw. I love you guys!

[chuckling]

[dramatic music]

ALL: Boom! [laughter]

♪♪ ♪♪

- Hold off on the curse for now.

Hey.

I've been looking for you.

I didn't see you this morning. - Oh, sorry.

My mom surprised me by coming into town early,

so I was with her.

♪♪ ♪♪

- Wow, I've never seen that before.

- Why are you staring?

Is there something in my teeth?

- No, all good.

We should get going.

♪♪ ♪♪

- OK, listen up, everybody!

Knights and Rooks to wardrobe.

Kings and Queens to rehearsals.

- It's a tight schedule today.

We have back-to-back rehearsals--

ballet, urban, ballet-- and no one can mess it up.

- I have two students on Armando watch,

so we don't get busted.

- Mia, can you help me with this,

or should I go to wardrobe?

- Cece, you're needed upstairs.

- On my way.

- Benoit, let's see. Simone.

- I've got it. JACK: Mia.

- Jack.

[keys tapping]

[wind whistling]

CECE: Whoa.

What's with the ambush teleport?

I wasn't expecting it.

- Surprise.

- Is this the crypt?

- Yeah.

It's time to pair.

- Oh.

Now.

Like, right now.

[dramatic classical music]

- Yes, building tension.

Yes. Let's see some attitude.

Like, whose side are you on anyway?

You know what I mean?

Are you here?

Are you building tension?

Are you feeling bound with the clean lines?

Move to an agenda.

Let's pick some.

- [whispering] Finn. JEFF: Yes, clean lines.

- Do you know where Cece is?

- Gorgeous.

Beautiful, Benoit.

Yes, beautiful, clean.

Absolutely.

You're hurt.

- OK, I am totally freaking out.

Where are you?

- You're crying.

A single tear comes down your face.

The drama.

Feeling the tension, building emotion.

♪♪ ♪♪

[dramatic music]

- So, how does this work?

Can you walk me through it?

- Why didn't you just ask my mother

when you went to see her?

- I'm sorry.

I just needed some answers.

- Did you get them?

'Cause you're about to get a whole bunch.

Ready? - Jade, come on.

Everyone is going to miss us.

We have to dance.

It's like two of the biggest dances of the entire year.

- Around our wrists this rope will bind.

I pour this dust in a line.

- No, wait.

Jade, why are you doing this?

- Because I need to pair with you to become Mystic Empress.

My whole life, that was my destiny.

Then you come along, and just like that, you take the crown.

[scoffs] I don't think so.

- But I never wanted the crown.

You can have it.

- It doesn't work that way.

You took the crown away from me by being born,

and now you're going to give it back.

Stop pulling! Mystics pair.

That's what we do.

And you're going to pair with me right now.

Around our wrists this rope will bind.

- No, I don't want to do this.

- I'm going to pair with you, and then you're

going to parade around with me and show everyone

what a good match we are.

- That's the last thing I'm going to do.

- With magic will be one.

- I won't pair with you.

[whooshing]

You need my consent.

You can't force me to pair.

The Mystics are close, crowding us with their magic.

You can feel their heat!

It is hot.

and we have risen to the challenge.

We will all stand with the Wise One.

- I feel like I'm melting.

Can we not retaliate?

- Not yet.

We want them to think they're catching

us off guard when, in truth,

we've been watching them for days.

- Finally, let us hear from the seer.

[whooshing]

SEER: The battle is near.

They are here.

Don't let them take the child's gifts.

It will lead us Wizens adrift.

Tonight, at 8:00, will determine our fate.

Setting an intention helped me teleport.

I'm here with you.

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

I can use the dual ability.

Positions, now!

Take Jade to her first position,

I just gotta say, what these guys got going on

is something special.

And I'm just a lucky guy to have been working

with them for the last few weeks.

And-- hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Stay on your tile.

There will be no runners today, all right?

Your nerves will turn into chills once we get going.

- I think I absorbed Jade.

It feels different.

- Did you kiss her, too?

- No, of course not.

- [gasps] So connecting with Cece didn't just open up

a channel between you and her.

It opened up a channel between you and all Mystic magic.

You guys, what now?

- Even I don't have a plan!

- How did you find me? Are you OK?

- What is this?

- Jade trapped me in here.

- [grunts, pants]

- What was that?

- Ugh.

Lola thinks that when we kissed,

it opened a channel between us.

I used to only absorb Wizen magic.

But since we kissed, I'm absorbing Mystic magic.

I just took a big hit from Jade.

- Oh, no.

It's making you sick.

That's why your mom was so worried.

I'm so sorry.

We should have listened to her.

- Lola's been giving me pure Mystic liquid from her vials,

which gave me antibodies.

But then-- but then Jade stole them

and used them to mega boost herself to help defeat you.

- That wasn't me.

I used Mystic magic to send a dual me for help.

- That's why you didn't yell for help.

Duals don't speak.

- I could feel her drain my wisdom

and Mystic magic from in here.

With a boost like that, she's stronger than I'll ever be.

I can't even counter.

What if we're stuck in here forever?

- Don't even go there.

I mean, well, it is lovely.

It's a bit drafty for me.

So we're going to think of a plan.

Yeah, we've-- we've got this.

Oh, just-- just after I rest my eyes.

Ugh.

I feel so weak.

♪♪ ♪♪

DAVID: I know you're freaking out.

But you'll know when you find the right Mystic to pair with.

You'll feel it.

- Bash, Bash, wake up.

I think you have Mystic magic.

And instead of absorbing it, I think you store it.

- OK?

- OK, so the Mystics were really creative,

in a different way than Wizens are-- but they

had some really cool stuff.

Anyway, you're a Mystic Emporium.

It's a thing. Read this.

- "Only a few existed.

"And next to the Shamans, the Mystic Emporium

"was highly coveted.

"In order to hide powerful magic from enemies,

the Emporium would store and conceal magic."

So it's the Mystic equivalent of a Wizen absorber.

- Exactly, and because you took Jade's Mystic magic,

and you're storing Mystic magic,

the way for me to get us out of here

is for you to share Mystic magic with me.

I can pair with you.
