-Previously on Just Add Magic... -HANNAH: I can't

believe Kelly's the Night Bandit, and she's trying

to trick us into cooking to keep the book forever.

When we unpoisoned the garden,

the cost was that it poisoned Kelly.

-We deserve the book. -That's the poison talking.

Did you spell me?

-Whoa. -Is that you? The real you?

I'm so sorry.

I gave you a sleepwalking spell.

We already cooked the recipe last night.

HANNAH: "Property of Hannah Parker-Kent,

Kelly Quinn and Darbie O'Brien."

We're tied to the book forever.

(birds singing)

(knock at door)

Hannah and Darbie are still here.

I can't face them after what I did.

What do I do to make this right?

I don't want to end up like...

You don't want to end up like Gina and Ida and me?

It took you guys decades to become friends again.

How do I know it won't be the same with us?

Because you three are better friends than we ever were.

Hey, why'd you run off?

Yeah, we thought you were coming back.

Sorry. I, um...

was just thanking Grandma for helping you two save me.

I'm sure you would've figured it out.

You guys can solve anything.

Okay, so, the front page of the book says that we own it,

so, we tried to cross our names out.

DARBIE: No surprise, the book didn't like that.

It literally wouldn't let us write on that page.

So we tried to rip that page out.

The book liked that even less.

The page would not come out.

Also, now I have a paper cut.

And we don't want to spell the book,

because that never ends... well.

Wait. Kelly, are you okay?

This is all my fault.

It's okay, Kelly.

No, it's not.

I don't even know how to begin to apologize.

It wasn't you. It was the poison.

But I did things that...

Any one of us could've gotten hit

with the downside of regrowing the garden.

And you would have been there

for us, no questions asked.

Wait. You really forgive me?

There's nothing to forgive.

Maybe being the Forever Protectors won't be so bad.

We can grow up to be magical superheroes,

-fighting crime and solving mysteries. -(laughter)

Does that mean we have to stay together forever?

What if we do end up living in different cities?

Teleport spell?

Look, when I'm a doctor, I don't want to have to leave surgery

'cause I'm on call for some mystery crisis.

I thought you could use a non-magical snack.

Thanks, Grandma.

Maybe you could help us figure out...

Grandma?

-What's happening? -Grandma? -Grandma? -Grandma Q?

Help me, girls.

♪ ♪

SCOTT: Kelly? Everything okay?

-We heard a crash. -KELLY: Uh...

yeah. I just... dropped lunch.

Yup, just clumsy Kelly being... clumsy.

Have you seen Grandma?

She wanted to come to Buddy's soccer practice.

Oh, um, she went home to...

Take a nap.

She should just nap at soccer practice. That's what I do.

When you're not on the field, sweetie.

-(door closes) -Oh, no.

Grandma must be the downside of Mama P's recipe.

But why? What's the connection?

DARBIE: Mama P didn't write

a riddle for this spell, did she?

'Cause that would be really helpful right about now.

No, but the book might have.

Now that we've used the recipe...

It should appear inside.

HANNAH: Here it is!

"To keep something precious,

you must lose something precious."

And because I forced you to cook,

the magic took Grandma from me.

It took her from all of us, Kell.

-I love her like she's my grandma. -Me, too.

Especially since my nee-ma lives across the country

and always sends my birthday presents late.

But she means well.

I know. I'm sorry. It's just...

You're worried. So are we.

HANNAH: Is the spoon

from the logo fading in?

(gasps) Just like Grandma faded away.

That's not good.

What happens when the knife and fork show up?

That's when the spell becomes permanent.

Once this finishes, Becky will be gone forever.

So... there's still time to fix this.

-But not much. -Come on, book.

I know you've got something in you

to break the casserole spell.

-It doesn't. -Ida! If you're not going to help...

I'm being honest. I crafted that spell

to forge a permanent bond with the book.

It can't be undone or countered.

You were good, Mama P.

-Thank you. -KELLY: But not that good.

We've broken unbreakable spells before.

DARBIE: Right!

We have a bajillion spices.

We can create a new spell.

Something that severs bonds.

KELLY: "Break the Bonds Borscht."

Did the book just create the spell we asked for?

How? A spell only appears in the book

-after protectors cooked it. -MAMA P: Maybe this is

part of what it means to own the cookbook forever.

Ah. The things we could have done together.

DARBIE: Borscht?

-It's beet stew. -Ew.

We should have said it needs to taste amazing, too.

DARBIE: Whoa!

It just changed.

HANNAH: Into a "Break the Bonds Jake-Rito"!

-Jake's recipe made it into the book. -Wow!

DARBIE: Makes sense.

Nothing tastes better than a Jake-Rito.

"To break yourself of the strongest bind,

"you'll have to make something one of a kind.

"With a special spice your bond you'll veto

by taking one bite of this special burrito."

Perfect! And the magical ingredient is cumin from the...

Parquinnien Family?

Parquinnien?

We've never cooked with that spice before.

And I've never seen it in a recipe.

Neither have we.

If it didn't come back

when you regrew your garden,

it must be extinct, like Morbium.

I'm sorry, girls.

Without the right spice, this spell is useless.

Wait! Parquinnien doesn't exist now,

but we could go to a time when it did exist.

We can make A Guac Through Time.

But who would you go see for help?

GIRLS: Chuck.

MAMA P: Traveling through time

to visit that greased-up punk is a bad idea.

Look, I'm not Chuck's biggest fan, either,

but his spice pantry must have been stocked in the 1800s.

Yeah, it's bigger than yours, Mama P.

Oh. Not that it's a contest.

If anyone has rare spices, it's Chuck.

Plus, he owes us big time for saving his sister.

MS. SILVERS: Ugh, bad news.

The spoon has completely faded in.

You go.

-We'll prep the recipe. -MAMA P: Fine.

Go.

But if you see Chuck, tell him I still hate him.

Okay.

Maybe just don't say anything.

1800s, here we come.

So cool.

Howdy.

Uh, hmm, we kind of stick out.

Should we make a pit stop at Ye Olde Ten Gallon Hat Shop?

-We don't have the right money. -Or the time.

The guac wears off in three hours.

Come on.

It's like being in a movie.

HANNAH: Except smellier.

People really need to pick up after their horses.

Excuse me.

Whereabouts are you gals from?

Um... Lavender Heights?

Never heard of it.

Lavender Heights hasn't been founded yet.

Thanks, Hannah.

What kind of getup are you wearing?

"Getup?" I am so styling right now.

We don't take too kindly to strangers around here.

No worries. We should get going, anyway.

Oh, boy.

Just like old times.

Except...

BOTH: No Becky.

We've never cooked together, just the two of us.

I guess it's never too late.

(cell phone buzzing)

I, uh, I have to take this.

Hello?

Yes, I know there's a deadline,

but I have an emergency here and...

Yes, I'll let you know soon. Bye.

Hey, what about our phone call?

I still don't know what law we broke.

Well, at least our guacamole will wear off soon

to take us back to the future.

How is that good news?

We do not want to deal with frontier justice.

We can't leave here empty-handed.

We won't. We'll get the spice.

How?

Grandma's running out of time

and we're the only ones that can save her.

We'll figure it out like we always do.

What was that about frontier justice?

I thought that description of the strange girls

sounded familiar.

-Chuck. -Chuck. -Chuck.

You didn't happen to bring me a Little Judy, did you?

No, but please tell me you have a Danish in your pocket

and can magic us out of here.

Got something even better.

Lockpicks.

Ida taught me how to do this back in the '60s.

How is she, by the way?

Uh, she says hi.

Thanks for rescuing us.

It's the least I could do after you saved Rose and sent us home.

I'm not so sure we did you a favor.

The past is kind of mean.

This is where I belong.

Done a lot I'm not proud of.

Now I have a second chance to make up for it.

How?

By helping people that need it.

Stopping bad people from doing bad things.

Magical superhero.

(sighs)

So, what brings you to my century?

Let it go, Ida.

If the call was no big deal,

why not tell me what it was about?

Because it's none of your business.

Fine.

An old friend heard I'd started performing again.

She's offered me a job playing piano.

What's so bad about that?

For the New York City Ballet.

What?! That's fantastic.

Not really.

I'm just looking for the polite way to turn them down.

Gina, this is your life's dream.

It was my dream 30 years ago.

Hey, Ms. Silvers.

Uh, I brought my...

I know you're mad, Jake, but you have to understand, I...

No. We're cool.

I beg your pardon?

I mean, yeah, I was mad you left, but I got over it.

"Got over it"?

Springtown's not too bad.

And I'm learning a lot from the new manager.

Oh.

Well... I thought you'd be a little mad.

So, you're upset with me for not being upset with you?

I'm just saying it would be nice to be missed.

Well, you can't skip town, break ties

and then be upset when people forget about you.

"Break ties"? I sent postcards.

Could you two work this out later?

Time is not on our side.

Fine.

So, what's so important you needed me

to bring over my top secret Jake-Rito sauce?

MS. SILVERS: This.

I made it into the book?

Cool.

Wait, do I get paid for this?

Help yourself to whatever you need.

So, I got to ask, what's the deal with your pocket watch?

What?

It has the fork, knife and spoon logo on it.

It won't stop ticking.

You left it right here.

Darbie, I don't own a pocket watch.

I can't find any.

What spice are you looking for?

Parquinnien.

There's no Parquinnien.

It's extinct here, too?

Do you know when we can find some?

CHUCK: You don't understand.

I spent a hundred years researching spices

when I was trying to save Rose

and I never came across Parquinnien.

I don't think it exists.

No, the-the book gave us a spell.

Guys...

these are all the spice families I know.

Wow. This is amazing.

What are these little patterns by each family?

If you look closely at spice leaves,

you can see the patterns hidden on them.

It's how you tell magical spices from regular spices.

So when we were harvesting the garden,

we ate all those carrots for nothing?

(chuckles softly)

Guys, look.

There's spices we've never even heard of.

Atlantean, Romany...

But no Parquinnien.

This can't be...

(alarm beeps)

That's our three hours.

We failed.

What's going on?

How can I help?

I don't think you can.

Bye, Chuck.

MAN: Charles!

Charles, I got it just in time.

Now we have to destroy it.

Good work, Ian. I...

The girls couldn't have stayed for five more minutes.

No, no, no, no, no, you don't use the shredding side.

You use the grating side.

Look, even the book knows.

"Fine grated Parmesan."

Pardon me, head chef.

Just let me do it.

If I can travel the world 50 years late,

you can go to New York.

Travelling is great when you have a home to come back to.

But to move? To start a new career?

It's... scary.

You know what would make it easier?

Turning them down in a letter.

Good idea.

You need someone to go with you and help you settle in.

That would be nice, but I don't have anyone.

Don't you?

I've always wanted to see a Broadway show.

JAKE: Whoa.

MS. SILVERS: Oh, no.

Let me guess.

Once again, Chuck was good for absolutely nothing.

Parquinnien isn't extinct.

It doesn't exist.

Now the fork is fading in.

We're running out of time.

Why would the book tell us to use a fake spice?

Well, the book doesn't know everything.

It doesn't even know how to make my secret sauce

and that's just a blend of three peppers.

Not that that's important right now.

-That's brilliant, Jake. -Thanks.

I-I put a lot of work into perfecting it.

That's not what I mean.

If Parquinnien doesn't exist,

we can create it by blending magic plant roots.

DARBIE: Right.

Ms. Silvers, we have your grafting book

from when we went Dumpster diving for your recipes.

That book is just my research.

I tried for years to graft spices,

but I could never find a compatible pair of families.

Um, I think Chuck might've given us the key to figuring that out.

HANNAH: I got it.

I know where Silvers went wrong.

Magic spices don't graft in pairs.

They graft in trios.

Which three roots do we use?

Uh, the Jake-Rito spell breaks bonds,

so the Parquinnien family is a bonding family.

-That's physical. -Werpoes.

Oh, but bonds can also be emotional.

Carnejian. What else?

Uh, it needs to take effect right now. Taurian?

No, Taurian isn't compatible with those two.

We need something else.

What if it's Night Blooming?

Repulsion and attraction.

Yeah, the spell needs to break our bonds with the book...

And allow it to find new protectors someday.

Good idea.

It's a new type of magical math,

but I think this combination will work.

♪ ♪

Now what? Does it magically grow?

Some plants can bloom overnight.

But this is a magic plant, so it takes...

...18 days to bloom.

Oh, no.

We merged three spices.

That means...

it's 18 days times 18 times 18.

Over 5,000 days.

Wait, this plant won't bloom for years?

15 years.

I'm so sorry, Kell.

No problem.

I'll look after it.

Grandma Q doesn't have 15 years.

Guys...

we still have some guacamole.

HANNAH: Jake's Deluxe Cafe?

Whoa, it looks so much like Mama P's.

Does that make him Papa J?

(laughing)

WOMAN: This is Jake's flagship store.

You're right on time.

Okay. This is a lot to process.

Is that the Parquinnien?

Water it twice a week.

Um... where am I?

Are they here yet? Oh, hi.

We look so young.

You're early.

No, you're late, Darbie.

-Well, I guess some things never change. -(laughter)

But what has changed? Tell us everything.

Well, things got weird when we were taken over

by our alien overlords.

I'm just messing with you guys.

Things are great.

We don't all live in the same town,

-but we video chat all... -No, Darbie!

It's too dangerous to talk about the future,

even if it's good.

Fine. Whatever you say...

Professor Parker-Kent.

(all chuckle)

I guess now I have to tell you how we end up.

Don't. We're all still friends,

and that's what matters to me.

I want to be surprised by the rest.

Hey, did you guys want extra sauce on your...

I don't even want to know.

(girls chuckle)

I really wish we could stay...

But you've got somewhere to be.

There's more magic in life than in the cookbook.

Now, go save Grandma.

WOMAN: Miss O'Brien?

I'm sorry to bug you, but I'm a big fan.

Can I have an autograph?

-Of course. -Thanks.

Look.

We're out of time. This has to work.

I don't feel "unbonded."

Not that being bonded felt any different.

Look.

Did we do something wrong? It still says...

-HANNAH: "Par..." -KELLY: "Quinn..."

DARBIE: "Ien..."

Guys?

I don't think the spice is pronounced "Par-kin-ian."

It's Parquinnien.

It's... us.

The book named the bonding spice family after you three.

Well, that's even better than getting a recipe in there.

Makes sense.

You girls are great friends,

and few bonds are stronger than friendship.

So, as far as I'm concerned,

Parquinnien is the friendship spice, right?

There's a Parquinnien spice?

-Grandma! -Grandma Becky!

No one hugged me when I came back,

and I was gone for weeks!

(all chuckle)

We're not open to customers yet.

As if I would buy anything in this place.

Does that mean you're actually here

to say good-bye this time?

Jake, I've missed the people of Saffron Falls.

Okay, some of the people.

And you were right.

If I want my friends to care about me,

I need to be in their lives.

So I bought back the café.

Bought or used magic?

Let's just say I got a good price.

Now, shut your eyes.

Open them.

We're back, Jake!

(sighs)

I found our old mystery box.

It was in the trailer, under the sink...

Or you can just toss those.

I don't want to hold on to the memories of the Night Bandit.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Guys, I'm so...

Kelly, stop apologizing.

This wasn't your fault.

I was going to say "grateful."

You guys helped me save Grandma.

Again.

We told you, we love Grandma Q.

-She's our grandma, too. -Yeah.

Silvers got it wrong when she said

our bond is our friendship.

We're more than that. We're family.

We're sisters.

I couldn't agree more.

And we're sisters that have a spice family named after us.

How cool is that?

It is pretty awesome.

I wonder if it's some sort of reward

for a job well done.

You know...

this is the first time since we got the book

that there are no mysteries to solve.

HANNAH: No downsides about to strike.

It almost feels like...

Feels like... we're done.

It's time, isn't it?

(sniffles) But I thought the book chose

when it moved on.

Maybe we choose... when we're ready.

Are we? Ready?

(quiet gasps)

(sniffling, crying)

I did not think that I would be the one

crying the most when the book moved on.

I can't believe you're not crying, Kelly.

I know I should be sad.

I am sad, but...

I feel proud of everything we did with the magic.

-We have helped a lot of people. -Yeah.

I'm gonna miss the book...

but as long as I have you two,

I'll still have the magic.

Then you will always have it, Kell.

Seriously, we went into the future

and saw that time and distance will never keep us apart.

I do have one regret.

We never did use magic to go see dinosaurs.

-(laughter) -Just saying.
