Did I get everything at the market, Garfield?

Yeah, but not nearly enough of it.

"Bread, milk, butter, cheese, more cheese, more cheese, more cheese."

[Mrs. Cauldron] "Tarantula knees, lizard soup, eye of newt..."

I had to buy the frozen kind.

You just can't get fresh eye of newt these days.

[Jon] "More cheese, more cheese, more cheese."

[both] Oh!

Oh, hi, Mrs. Cauldron.

Mr. Arbuckle. Imagine running into you here!

-[Odie muttering] -You remember Mrs. Cauldron?

The lady who lives over on Ackerman Lane.

[Odie muttering]

The witch.

[Odie muttering]

[Mrs. Cauldron] This is my niece, Abigail.

She's staying with me while she attends school here.

Nice to meet you, Abigail.

-There's no school around where you live. -It's a special school.

I heard about you, Mr. Arbuckle.

And that's your cat that sleeps all day and eats everyone's lasagna.

Guilty as charged.

In fact, we have to get home so I can help Abigail with a lesson.

Good day.

I like Mrs. Cauldron.

There are some neighbors who claim she's a witch

but I know that's ridiculous.

[cackling]

[whimsical music]

Are you gonna tell me about the enchanted book, Aunt Esther?

Just as soon as we get home, dear.

Will you do that laugh for me, Aunt?

For you, anything.

[witch laugh]

Witches, what a silly idea. What a ridiculous...

[witch laugh]

[ominous music]

[soft music]

A thousand years ago, there was a witch named Varicella

who gave her own heart to black magic

in exchange for greater power.

[evil witch laugh]

Consumed with hatred for the human race,

the heartless Varicella

searched for three legendary magical artifacts.

They were the Mercury Slippers, the Broom of Sorrows

and the Lilith Wand.

By combining their powers,

Varicella could then unleash the Forbidden Moon:

a deadly spell that would plunge the whole world into eternal darkness,

and turn all humans

into helpless toads.

[ominous music]

[ribbiting]

Varicella was so wicked that all the witches agreed.

She had to be stopped before she could complete the spell.

The witches banished Varicella into the pages of a magic spell book.

[evil laugh]

My magic spell book.

[muffled screaming]

[Abigail laughing]

As for the three magical artifacts,

they were scattered across the Magic Realm,

so that no one might ever bring them together again.

[Varicella] Let me out of this book!

[screaming]

[Mrs. Cauldron] That is why since that very day,

there have been good witches and there have been wicked witches.

Cool. Can Varicella ever break free from her prison?

Only if someone was ever foolish enough to use the book's magic

for their own selfish needs.

Auntie, when I grow up, will I be a good witch or a wicked witch?

Well, I hope you'll be the best possible good witch you can be.

Now, I'm going to go bake some frog muffins.

[cawing]

When can I learn some how to cast some real magic spells?

I want to become as powerful as Varicella.

[anxious gulp]

Don't worry, Bruce. I'd never hurt you. You're my bat.

Abigail, how many times do I have to tell you?

The strongest magic doesn't come from a wand.

But from the heart, I know.

Argh.

[laughing]

[cheerful music]

[humming happily]

Garfield, if you think you're going to eat this entire pizza by yourself,

you're wrong.

I'm right.

-[barking happily] -Odie, do you want to fetch a stick?

[yapping happily]

[cheerful music continues]

[horn]

Go fetch it, boy.

[barking happily]

I know, I know.

Even after three seasons, he still falls for it.

[Jon] Odie! Odie!

Gee, if Odie doesn't show up for dinner,

maybe you will have to eat his half of the pizza, Garfield.

Oh, I suppose I could.

No, it's not fair. I won't serve dinner until Odie is at the table.

-[dramatic music] -[gasp]

I am being forced to work entirely too hard for pizza.

Not that pizza is not worth some effort, of course.

[intriguing music]

I'm the most powerful witch of the whole Magic Realm! I'm...

[screaming]

[soft music]

♪ The choice for me is what to be ♪

♪ I have to choose my fate ♪

Oh!

♪ A good and trusted witch But maybe I should switch ♪

♪ For years, I've always understood ♪

♪ That bad is not as good ♪

[shrieking]

[lively music]

♪ It's tempting to be devious Instead of just as previous ♪

♪ To use my magic to destroy Is something that I could enjoy ♪

♪ I could be someone to be cheered Or someone who was feared ♪

♪ So which witch will I be? The choice is up to me ♪

[thudding]

[shriek]

-[intriguing music] -Bruce, come back!

I didn't mean to scare you.

I'll get grounded if I turn up to school without my familiar.

[Mrs. Cauldron] Abigail!

What's all that racket?

Ready in a second, Auntie. Zing zang zou!

[engine revving]

I have to get Bruce back.

[ominous music]

[shriek]

Bruce, please come back. I'll give you treats.

Oh!

Come back here, you stupid bat.

[barking]

[yapping]

Bruce? Bruce!

It's no use. He's gone.

I'm going to be so grounded.

Unless...

[quivering]

Zimbabibabou.

Oh, sorry. Wrong spell.

[ribbiting]

Bing bam bouh.

[panting]

Come on, Abigail, you can do this.

Where is that pooch?

[intriguing music]

Odie!

Eenie meenie miney mo!

[worried muttering]

Odie got turned into a bat and taken away by Mrs. Cauldron's niece.

Why am I telling you this? You just saw it too.

Perfect. No one will ever know the difference.

Eenie meenie miney mo!

Odie!

[cawing]

Abigail, time to leave for school.

Here I am, Auntie.

Hop on your broom, my dear. We can't waste time.

[panting]

[horn]

Mrs. Cauldron is a real witch?

I should have figured it out in season two.

Only a real witch could have survived a whole episode

with Minerva and Drusilla.

Why can't I find that transportation spell?

I know where everything is.

[cawing] Nevermore.

Oh, there it is.

"Spulchkripia krypteris rapispherix."

[ominous music]

[worried whimper]

Now, remember. Listen to your cousin Winona.

I will. And I'll try to be a good witch, Auntie Esther.

Bye.

Bring him back.

[cawing]

[gasp] Odie!

This is my fault for trying to get his half of the pizza.

That book! It must have the secret of how to change him back.

[intriguing music]

-[thudding] -[screaming]

[intriguing music continues]

[floor cracking]

Ouch.

[cawing]

I have to go check on my frog muffins.

They're not for you, Raven. You eat birdseed.

[cawing] Nevermore.

[pages turning]

Ah! There are thousands of spells in here.

How am I going to find the one Mrs. Cauldron just used

to send her niece off to school?

[Varicella] I believe you'll find the spell you're looking for on page 658.

Oh, thanks. Did you just say that?

Nevermore.

That's right, you're a raven. You just say "nevermore."

Who's talking?

[Varicella] Just a friend. Here, let me help you.

Thanks. Whoever you are. Whatever you are.

Let's see here.

"One way trip to the School of Witchery and Witchcraft".

That's the one.
