Just Add Magic: Mystery City...

We're supposed to find
three little coins hidden

somewhere in the city that will

give us the location of a
super powerful, gold-attracting

sourdough starter
that could cause

mass destruction and mayhem.

All the while,
there may be some bad guys

named Wesson after us.

That's what you're telling me?

BOTH:
Yes.

-Sign me up.
-Really?

Okay. Listen one more time.

Cassie runs around Mabel
until you tell her the truth.

Anything?

Sounds the same as
the last 50 times you said it.

So, no.

Are you positive you don't know
any runners named Cassie?

Again, I like to run,

but I don't have an encyclopedic
knowledge of every other runner.

-Come on, what are you
trying to tell us?
-Okay.

I think it's clear
we need a break.

Is that a good idea?
You heard the story.

Somewhere in this city
is a sourdough bread starter

with incredible powers.

And it's been safely hidden
for over a hundred years.

Even my dad didn't find it.

Yeah, we're the
protectors, right?

If we can't figure it out,
who can?

"Cassie runs around Mabel
until you tell her the truth."

I know exactly who Mabel is.

ANDERSON:
So, for tonight,

we're going to continue
with the theme of oral history.

Each of you will get
a family story from your parents

and present it to the class.

-(groaning)
-Ah, good.

The familiar groans
of young minds eager to learn.

(bell rings)

Like it or not,
everyone will present.

-Hey. Zoe, right?
-Yeah.

I'm Cody.
Don't mind Mrs. Anderson.

She gets cranky after lunch.
How's your first day?

Pretty standard. Faulty lockers,

mediocre cafeteria food,
bad teacher jokes.

Sounds like you've
done this before.

I've moved around
a lot, so yeah,

I've had a few first days.

Well, I noticed you signed up

for cross-country
tryouts Friday.

I'm captain,
so I'll see you there.

Hey, man.

You're here three hours

and you're already
making a power play?

What are you talking about?

Cody. He's the most
popular kid in school.

Straight As,
Student Council president,

plays, like, three sports.

You're friends with him?

Nah. We have nothing in common.

Well, we do have
the same dentist.

Of course, he has better teeth.

There's a Cody at every school.

My last school it was a Trent.
Before that, a Chad.

Come to think of it, the one
before Chad was a Cody, too.

Look who's home.
How was the big first day?

Not much different
than the others.

Classes, lunch,

more classes, and now,

homework.

You know, you're very cynical
for your age.

I need your help
with a history assignment.

History, not my strong suit.
Got any math?

No, this is different.
It's about oral history.

I have to present a story
about our family.

Let's see...

Well, I don't know too much

about your dad's side
of the family.

What about yours?
Got any epic Chua stories?

Well, I bet you didn't know

that when my grandparents
first moved here,

my grandfather worked
on the Bay City Bridge.

No way, he built it?

Yup.

It was hard work, and he was
grateful to have a job,

but America still wasn't
feeling like home.

And then, one day,

the president came
to visit the work site,

and he shook
my grandfather's hand

and he thanked him
for his service.

The President
of the United States

personally thanked your grandpa?

He did. Pretty neat, right?

They even got a picture together
by that overlook at Gordon Park.

Where's Gordon Park?

You don't remember it?

Your dad used to take you there
all the time

when I had to work.

Mabel Gordon Park.
Really, you don't...

Hold on, did you say
Mabel Gordon Park?

Don't get me wrong,
I love my nani.

It's just...
she's here all the time.

Literally.
She never leaves the house.

Well, she's probably nervous to
walk around the city by herself.

I mean, she can't speak English.

Okay, you're not helping.
Now I feel bad.

I wish my grandma lived with me.

Both mine died
before I was born.

And now I feel worse.

What in the world?

Nani, where are all my snacks?

The food, where is it?

Not fresh.

Eat this. Better.

LEXI:
You know, it looks like

you and your nani
have a lot of eating to do,

so I think I should probably go.

No, stay.

I have to get home anyway.

I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye, Nani.

Bye, Lexi.

(cell phone buzzing)

Sorry, Nani, can't eat now.

We got a breakthrough
on the clue.

See you later.

(speaks Hindi)

And then she said Dad
used to take me to Gordon Park,

-which, guess what,
is Mabel Gordon Park.
-Really?

That must be the Mabel
in the riddle.

Are you sure?
That seems like a reach.

Oh, okay.

Can you put us in touch
with any other Mabels you know?

-Point taken.
-We got to get
to the park and look.

Only problem is, it's huge.

I wouldn't even know
where to start.

Unless we could
narrow the search.

Zoe, do you remember anything

from those trips to the park
with your dad?

I wish I did, but no.
I was only two.

Your dad must've been there
following the same clues.

If only there was a way
to get you to remember.

How about
"See The Past-achio Yogurt"?

ISH: Mmm, doesn't look
specific enough.

-And I hate pistachios.
-You're not eating it.

Ooh. What about this one?

"Early Memory Mashed Bananas."

"To access early memories
formed in the brain,

"Open wide, here comes
the airplane.

"Name an age and place,
then thoughtfully stare.

And like a dream,
you soon will be there."

-It's perfect.
-Yeah.

-Just glad I'm not eating it.
-Why?

Uh, it's literally baby food.

Well, this book is clever.
Got to give it that.

And at least we don't
have to dip into the Food Fund.

True. We do have
all the ingredients.

So we just need a place to cook.

Dad and Erin are home,
so our place is a no go. Ish?

My kitchen is out.
Nani has officially set up camp.

Wait.

Leo, what time
does the restaurant close?

-Good thinking, Zoe.
-Just keep it down.

If Dad hears us, it's gonna be
kind of hard to explain

why we're cooking baby food
as an after-dinner snack.

(pot crashes)

(pot clatters)

I'll just pick that up now.

♪ ♪

Gonna be honest,
this doesn't look half bad.

And it actually smells amazing.

Okay. Let's do this.

I want to see memories
from when I was two,

with my dad,
at Mabel Gordon Park.

Nothing's happening.

(chiming)

"...and then
the purple bird said,

-(French accent): "'Allons-y,
girls!
-(Zoe giggling)

"'Hop on my wings.

"It is time for our adventure!'

"So the girls did just that,

"and the purple bird
soared off into the sky.

Swoosh!"

Oh, my gosh, you're awake.
Are you okay?

That was amazing.

I saw my dad.
We were at the park.

It was like I was there.

Zoe, you totally conked out.

Yeah. Luckily,
we were here to catch you.

You could have hit your head.

Really?
I didn't even feel it.

Oh, I bet that's
what the riddle meant

when it said the memories
are "like a dream."

You have to fall asleep
for the spell to work.

Would have been nice
to know that before.

So, what happened?

Not much.
We were at the park,

on a blanket in the sun.

He was just reading to me.

It was so real-- like I could
just reach out and touch him.

No mention of the riddle?

-No.
-Bummer.

-Leo!
-Oh.

-Sorry, Zoe.
-No, it's okay.

But no mention of Mabel.

Or Cassie.

-Should we try another spell?
-Maybe tomorrow.

It took us forever to find
"Early Memory Mashed Bananas."

I can't imagine how long

it would take
to find something else.

Good call.

Don't worry, guys,
I'll just clean it up myself.

-ZOE: Thanks, Leo!
-You're the best!

Yo.

Earth to Zoe?

Huh? What?

You okay?

Yeah. I'm just a little tired.

♪ ♪

(echoing):
There once was a cowboy

who lived
in the wild, wild West.

-(Zoe giggling)
-But he wasn't just any cowboy.

He... had
a very special cookbook,

filled with magical recipes.

(coughing)

Sorry, sweetie, just a second.

(coughing)

(exhales):
Okay.

Now, where were we?

-(snaps fingers)
-Ah, yes.

The wild West.

CODY:
Hey.

You all right?

-What?
-One minute you were awake,

the next... gone.

-Oh. I, uh...
-ANDERSON: Zoe.

I don't know how this
was handled in your old school,

but falling asleep in class
is grounds for detention.

I'm sorry, I wasn't asleep, I...

I'm sorry.
It won't happen again.

I sure hope not.

Now, in the meantime,
I'll be calling your mother.

♪ ♪

What are we going to do?
Why am I still spelled?

It doesn't make any sense.
The riddle doesn't say anything

about the spell happening
more than once.

But it doesn't say
it can't happen more than once.

This is bad.
What if you fell asleep

while walking down the stairs
or something?

Oh, no. Cross-country trials
are tomorrow.

I can't fall asleep
in the middle of the track.

Yeah. That would really
slow down your time.

Can you be there
to try out with me?

Better. I will do
everything in my power

-to get you unspelled
before then.
-Thank you.

Because there's no way I'm
trying out for cross-country.

♪ ♪

What's that smell?

Of course.

Because a scented candle
would be far too normal.

(sighs)

Nani?

Have you seen
my algebra notebook?

Room not clean.
Now better.

But I had a system.

Now I'm gonna have
to spend an hour

just trying to figure out
where everything is.

You're welcome.

I guess Mrs. Anderson
hasn't called my mom yet.

-How do you know?
-Oh, I'd know.
In fact, you would know.

This spell might officially
ruin sleep for me forever.

I'm so glad you guys are here.

I thought you didn't like pizza.

It's this or fermented bamboo.

All right, fill me in.
What's the latest?

You mean besides turning
a teacher against me

-on my second day?
-LEO: We need to hurry.

Zoe has cross-country tryouts
tomorrow,

and if we don't find a way
to break this spell,

you and I are
on babysitting duty.

-Is that magic chart any help?
-No.

I mean, it might be-- I'm
still trying to figure it out.

We need to come up
with a counterspell.

We could use the vision spice.

I think the memories
are triggered by things I see.

But would that counter the spell
or enhance it?

Make you, like,
one giant sleepy eyeball?

Ooh. That's a good character
for my graphic novel.

What if there's a reason
the spell hasn't broken yet?

There's a reason--
it wants to ruin my life.

Wait, Ish, you might be right.
Look, it says here

that some spells
aren't broken with magic,

they're broken emotionally,
like when you learn a lesson

-or get a piece
of information you need.
-ISH: That's got to be it.

-Maybe this is one
of those emotional spells.
-And it won't break until you

get the information you need
from one of those dreams.

-Which will help us solve
the riddle.
-ZOE: And until then,

I'll be in perpetual naptime?
This is ridiculous.

There's got to be something
we can do to stop this.

(chiming)

-More?
-(Zoe giggles)

Somebody got her dad's appetite.

(chuckles) And her mom's
messy eating habits.

The messier the pizza,
the better it tastes.

I won't argue that.

(coughing)

Are you okay?

I thought you
were going to the doctor.

I did, and I waited 45 minutes

for him to tell me
I have a cough.

-Really? That's all he said?
-Mm-hmm.

Maybe you should try
another doctor.

Zoe, tell Mom to stop worrying.

♪ ♪

Sorry.

What did I tell you
about getting enough sleep?

I'm fine, Mom.

I was just...
resting my eyes for a second.

I'm not that tired.

Is that the same excuse
you gave to your teacher?

Bed early tonight.
No late-night reading.

Okay. Fine.

So, tell us what you saw.

Find anything good?

There was something.

-Finally.
-What?

My dad hated going to the doctor
just as much as I do.

FEMALE VOICE (over phone):
Translating.

"My princess."

Why are you studying up here?

Nani is watching one
of her Bollywood movies...

loudly.

In addition to not speaking
the language,

I think she's also
hard of hearing.

Why didn't you ask her
to turn it down?

One: because I don't speak Hindi

and two: she really loves me

and that's got to count
for something, right?

I get it.
I really like my new family,

but I was kind of used
to having the place to myself.

-Exactly.
-Like sharing a bathroom
with Zoe.

For the "I don't care what I
look like, I'm an athlete" type

her products sure do eat up
a lot of counter space.

ZOE:
I heard that.

-Where were you?
-Napping.

No. Real napping.

I figured if I could fall asleep
at any moment,

I might as well
already be in bed.

Sorry you have
to go through this.

You're sorry?

I can't try out
for cross-country like this.

The one thing I like at school
and it's gone.

Uh-oh.

Hold on tight, sweet pea.

That's it. Look at you.

You're a natural.

The most skilled cowgirl
on this here carousel.

(Zoe laughs)

ISH:
Tell us.

We need to know every detail.

Where exactly in the park
were you?

What were you doing?

Is this an interrogation?

Yes. We need every detail
of the memories

-in order to crack this thing.
-But it was so short.

It was just me and my dad
riding the...

I got it.

In every single memory,
there's been a carousel.

-That has to be it.
-You're right.

There's an old carousel
in Mabel Gordon Park.

If we leave now, we could check
it out before it gets dark.

It is a school night.

But luckily I already finished
my homework.

(lively music playing)

What am I missing?

Wow. It looks exactly the same.

It says here it's one of the
oldest carousels in the country.

Um, a little space, guys?

-Really?
-Would you rather crash
to the ground

when you magically pass out?

Fair enough.

Let's do this.

You're such a big girl.

(Zoe laughs)

Cassie.

You know who Cassie is?

Yes. She's one of the horses
on the carousel.

So now the riddle
makes more sense.

"Cassie runs around Mabel."

The horse runs
around Mabel Gordon Park.

Awesome. But I still don't get
the second part.

"Until you tell her the truth"?

We have to talk
to wooden horses, don't we?

In public with people around?

This magic stuff just gets
weirder and weirder.

Guys, I found Cassie.

Let's do this quickly
before I change my mind.

Okay. We need to tell Cassie
some hidden truth,

like a secret.

You should probably
go first, Zoe,

since they were your memories.

All right. Um, here it goes.

I'm glad I got
to see my dad today.

I didn't realize
how much I missed him.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

Come on, guys, you got to try.

Watch my back.

There are people I know here.

Even though I'm annoyed
to be sharing my space,

I feel bad I've been mean
to my grandmother.

Leo, your turn.
Think hard.

Something really secret
you never told anyone.

I've been using Zoe's body wash.

It smells like coconut.

I like it.

What are we missing?

We're so close.

"Tell Cassie the truth.

Tell Cassie
the truth."

Wait a minute.

Maybe the truth isn't a secret.

You know how every spice family

is responsible
for something different?

Right, like how Werpoes
is physical.

And Livonian is the mind.

Exactly. And there's one
for the truth.

Leo, you're brilliant.

ZOE:
It makes sense.

Only protectors would know
the spice families.

Right. So it's a precaution
to make sure

someone who isn't a protector
can't get to it.

Only problem is I don't remember
which spice is truth.

I think I know.

Elysian.

(metal rumbling)

Whoa.

ZOE:
Look, a coin.

The book in the library told us
we needed three of these

before we could get
the sourdough starter.

That's beyond cool.

But what now?

How are we supposed
to find the other coins?

You think we have
to talk to that box, too?

I don't think so.

Zoe, this means you're
not spelled anymore.

-Yeah.
-LEO: Whoa.

-I expected more of an
enthusiastic response than that.
-ZOE: I know.

It's just that it was
kind of nice seeing my dad

and I'm a little bummed out
I won't get to anymore.

I'm sorry, Zoe.

I can't imagine.

Must be hard.

On the bright side,
you won't be spelled

for cross-country tryouts
tomorrow.

True. And after today I'll be
the most well-rested one there.

That's the spirit.

Well, one coin down, two to go.

How are we gonna find
the others?

There's no clue
in the horse's mouth, right?

Nope. Just the coin
and the box it came in.

Then maybe that box is the clue.

(bell ringing)

What do you say we celebrate

before deciphering
yet another cryptic message?

Wow. Someone's getting crazy
on a school night.

(laughs)

Ah, right.

Not fresh.

Mmm. Not bad.

Better hot.

And that's how
my great-grandfather

got to meet the President
of the United States.

Well done, Zoe.

Thanks for sharing.

All right. Cody.

Nice job.

So, now that you're my sister,
can I technically say

that my relatives have an in
with the president?

No. Not at all.

-All right. You ready?
-Yeah.

My story is one that has been
passed down through generations.

It's about my dad's side
of the family, the Wessons.

Wesson?

CODY: The Wesson family used
to be very powerful,

but sometimes,
when you're that successful,

it's easy to make enemies.

One of our rivals messed
with the family business

and brought us misfortune.

His name was Ian Maddox.

Our family owned
the Hasberg Gold Mine...

So the most popular kid
in school

comes from a line
of evil protectors?

This is not good.
