Wow, that's funny

Tessa: No way.

- What's wrong?

Ruby: [grunts]

No more talking
about the "you know what"

in public.

Like, not one word.

Mina: What was in the video?

Uh, what were you talking
about

when you showed her the well?

Ruby: Oh, nothing.

Uh, just how magic wells work

and what makes them secret
and special,

and I can't believe

someone filmed
the whole thing!

- Well, that worked out.

- I know!

Good thing we don't have

a clue-giving,

You tell

So, how do you know
all this stuff about wells?

Finn: Lore.

We have so much lore here.

Take some of our lore,
please!

- [laughs]

But, seriously.

Finn: Seriously.

I'm really glad
you're into this stuff.

I've got literally no one
to talk to about it here.

The other day,

I, I cornered this poor fella
on the bus

Just blank stares

somethin' useful?"

- Why don't you do
something useful?

Finn: Because I'm busy
interviewing pensioners,

aren't I?

Trying to find
a real-life magic well.

Yesterday,
it was Dorcas Lyster.

Her family lore says
their well was disenchanted

in the '40s.

- Disenchanted?

Finn: Went on the fritz.

Got more and more vague
and confusin'.

It had always been cryptic,
so the story goes.

But if you really
put your grey matter to it,

you can figure out
the well's meanin'.

But somewhere along the way,
it soured.

Garbled messages,
jumbled visions,

in-incomplete wishes.

It's like the well's magic
got so messed up

that its keeper just couldn't
understand it anymore.

- Oh.

- Right?

Just imagine you had a magic
well that gave you purpose

[chuckling] so you could
actually grant wishes.

Then it got exposed

and slowly went bonkers
on ya.

Tragic.

- Yeah, tragic.

Mina, you're kidding, right?

Aren't you a little young

to be thinking
about marriage?

- I mean, you met Pete
in high school.

- Yeah, okay,
good point, I guess.

But still, it's not something
that you just jump into.

41% of all first marriages
end in divorce.

And, of the ones
that stayed together,

a quarter of them say
they're unhappy.

That is a 66% fail rate.

- Ouch.

- Mm-hm.

People can be out of sync
about a lot of things.

Career, family.

It's a real mine field.

- How do you know so much
about this?

Tessa: Well,
I'm gonna be a lawyer,

so it's how we think
about things, carefully.

- Is that the only reason?

- Well...

- Well?

- Okay.

If I am being honest,
maybe I have been...

evaluating things with Pete.

People keep growing
after high school, right?

Into who
they're gonna be?

- And Pete?

- Well, I don't know.

We're in a rough patch.

I mean, I love Pete.

Like crazy.

But sometimes,

it just feels like
we want different things.

I mean,
he's a small-town guy,

I'm kinda diggin' the city.

What if we both
can't make our dreams work?

What if we're just
holding each other back?

- Plus, the canceled dates
must bother you

and the hiding stuff
on his computer.

- What?

- Uh...

nothing.

I, um...

Sam just said that he was
acting kinda weird

and suspicious,
like, at work.

Probably nothing, though.

- Really?

- It's something you might
wanna ask him about.

- So, who exactly

is giving whom
the advice here?

- Um, it runs
in the family.

- [nervous chuckling]

- Are we good?

- I mean, yeah.

We are.

Ruby: [chuckles awkwardly]

Bye, Tessa.

- Bye.

Mina: Thank you, Aunt Tessa.

Bye.

Tessa:
You haven't even acknowledged

how I feel right now.

You're not the one

Ruby: What's going on?

- She's lawyering him.

Ruby: [sighs]

- Facts, figures,
analysis, persuasion.

Ruby: [sighs]

Just like she did
with us.

- Even my mom
has stopped arguing

with Aunt Tessa.

She says
mere mortals can't win.

Pete: ...when
you're lawyering again.

- I'm done.

Pete: No, Tessa,

that wasn't even
a conversation, all right?

That was--
that was a cross-examination.

Tessa: Pete, this is

I'm sorry.

I don't even know.

He's the best guy
I've ever known,

so tight.

He never tells me
what he's thinking

so I never know

if we're headed
in the same direction.

Ava: But you've gone through
some rough patches before.

You got through those.

So you'll get
through this one, too.

Ava: You're meant to be.

I'm never wrong

Tessa: [sobs]

Ava: I see the way
you guys look at each other.

Tessa: I know, but still,

I had so many questions
about, you know,

what he was and,
and where we were going

that I just--
I had to confront him.

I just had to,

with grounds to treat
the witness as hostile.

- What did he say?

- He said nothing.

I asked him point-blank

about the money
and the secrecy,

and he told me nothing.

He just swore
he wasn't cheating,

and now,
I don't know what to think.

Why did I do this?

[crying]

- [quietly] It's okay.

Shh.

Tessa: No, no, it's not okay!

It's not okay!

This could be the end
of the line for us!

the well wants me to use it.

[incredulous laugh]

Mina: You're saying the well
gave you the wish backwards

so you could look at it again
forwards?

- Exactly.

Pete made a wish
a couple of years ago.

He was in love.

And with a little help
from us,

his wish came true.

- Cut to two years later,

his wish appears again
backwards.

He must have had cold feet.

He wasn't sure

without him.

Plain and simple.
