Previously on Just Add Magic...

DARBIE: This watch has
no hands to tell time.

Then how is it still ticking?

CHUCK: Whoever holds the hands
holds the secret.

I'm a protector of magic.

KELLY:
If the book chose you,

then it's for a good reason.

There is a mystery
to be solved.

My dad was a protector--
Ian Maddox.

ISH: Zoe's dad said
there were three coins.

Maybe we need all of them

to give us the final clue
to the starter.

-LEO: What are you doing?
-Giving you our coin.

ZOE: It's a trick.
LEO: The coins are gone.

She came in here
and stole our coins.

-Let me see the coins.
-I don't have them.

Here. I know what I did
was wrong,

and I'm really sorry
I took them.

This is it.
We have subway tokens.

This is a subway turnstile.

LEO:
We gotta go for it.

I think it's a ticket.

That must be where
the starter is.

-Unity Station.
-There's just one problem.

This station doesn't exist.

KELLY:
I'm kind of nervous.

Maybe I just shouldn't do it.

Come on, Kel,

you've traveled through time
and space with magic.

I think you can handle
the debate team.

-Really?
-Definitely.

Trust me. You've talked us into
some pretty crazy stuff.

Like traveling
through time and space.

-(all laugh)
-CHUCK: Tell me about it.

Hate what you've done
with the place.

Chuck, what are you
doing here?

In this century.

No time to explain.

Do you guys still have
that pocket watch

you asked me about when you
visited me in the 1800s?

Yes, of course.

Good. Because
you're going to need it.

♪ ♪

I'm telling you, I've never
heard of Unity Station.

I'm gonna pull up
a subway map.

Maybe you've just
never been there.

I've been on every train
in the city.

But why would my dad
give us a transfer clue

to a subway stop
that doesn't exist?

Because it once did,
on the Greensborough Line.

But the city sealed it up
years ago for safety issues.

And it's on the list of projects
my dad worked on.

We're so close, I can
almost smell the starter...

if I knew what
a starter smelled like.

But what are we gonna do
once we get it?

Right. We've never really
talked about that.

My dad said we need
to destroy it.

I know, but how?

That's easy--
we'll teleport it to Antarctica,

where it'll freeze,
and it won't hurt anybody.

Why do all your ideas sound like
they're from a comic book?

You say that like
it's a bad thing.

But if my dad couldn't
figure out

how to destroy the starter,

how are we supposed to?

We're getting better at magic,

but we're not experts yet.

Maybe we don't destroy it.

What if the starter could
be used for good?

Like feeding the hungry.

Or it could give you
superhuman strength.

Seriously?

Okay, that did sound
kinda like a comic book thing.

Look, this is all pointless
until we find the starter.

And we don't even know
where Unity Station is.

Well, according to
this old subway map,

the stop was between
28th Street and St. Clair.

If we ride past it
and film it,

we could play back the video
in slow motion,

and that might
give us a clue.

That's not half bad.
Let's go.

I'll grab our food fund so
we can reload our metro cards.

So, you're not
the protectors anymore?

Nope.

And the book moved
to Bay City?

Yeah, a lot has changed
since we last saw you in 1875.

Including the fashions.

Didn't have time
for a costume change.

My friend Ian Maddox
came to the future

to hide a dangerous
sourdough starter.

Wait, your future
or our future?

Yeah, time travel's cool,
but the math is confusing.

It doesn't matter.
The starter's in Bay City now,

and this watch is
the key to finding it.

So, the starter's in Bay City,
the book is in Bay City...

So we need to go to Bay City.

But I have debate practice.

Right.

I'll join debate next week.

HANNAH:
Looks like we're gonna have

one more magical adventure
after all.

Sweet.

-Are you joining us, Chuck?
-I can't.

I gotta go.
I have just enough time

to swing by the drugstore
to get some hand sanitizer

and a flu shot.

You do not want to get a cold
in the 1800s.

(subway train rattling)

Of course. They put up a wall
to seal off Unity Station.

Come on, come on.

I knew I saw it.

"Walk Through Wall-fles."

"Exactly what it sounds like."

With these, we can go
from the train,

through the wall
and into Unity Station.

I like it.
And I love waffles.

Leo, these taste amazing.

Yeah, but do they work?

Whoa.

My turn.

Wait, that's my roo--

LEO:
Don't look at the floor!

That was so cool.

I've always imagined
I'd feel something

walking through a wall,
but I didn't feel anything.

Wait, you've always imagined
walking through walls?

No.

Okay, let's not get
too excited.

This is only the first step.

Now we have to do it
from a speeding train.

I don't understand it.

You were there all day.

How did you fail?

She didn't fail, Cody.

It wasn't the best plan
in the world.

Yeah, I did everything
Dad told me to do.

You gave them the coin
to gain their trust?

Yes, and I thought I had it

until they double-crossed me.

So why didn't you
just take the coins

and get out of there?

I was waiting for
the right moment.

-For four hours?
-Stop grilling me, Cody.

Yes. Lay off your sister, Cody.

It isn't productive.

You were right, Dad.

You can never trust
a protector.

-I'm hungry.
-Me, too.

When is that guy
gonna leave?

Doesn't he have
better things to do

than ride the train all day?

Uh, excuse me, but that's
what we've been doing.

And these seats
are not comfortable.

(sighs)

ISH:
Finally.

Let's do this.

Okay, get ready.

It's between here
and the next stop.

What if it doesn't work
the way it did at home?

It will.

-Leo, you go first.
-What? Me?

You're the one who always wanted
to be a superhero.

Wait, Ish has a point.

What if the spell's
only good for one wall?

What if I make it off the train,

but then go splat
against the bricks?

-What if...
-Leo,

you're spinning out,

and the station's almost here.

I'm running through a brick wall
from a speeding train.

Excuse me if I want to weigh
the various options.

Ugh, forget it!

-I'll go.
-No.

We should go together.

The station passes
so quickly.

If we go separately
we probably won't all make it.

Not reassuring.

Okay, on "one," we bite,
and "three," we run.

-Ready?
-Ready.

-Almost.
-One...

...two...

...three!

Okay...

not cool.

Leo, are you sure
you cooked it right?

Yes. I measured.
I followed directions.

We learned our lesson
with "Pick It Up Pancakes."

We're not amateurs anymore.

"Walk Through Wall-fles."

Even the riddle is clear.

"Exactly what it sounds like."

Maybe we're not
doing it right.

How many ways are there
to jump off a train?

Let's find out.

♪ ♪

(sighing)

(sighing)

Hey, sorry about earlier.

Looks like Ish
and the others

really pulled one over
on you.

Yep.

So, what'd you guys do
for four hours?

Nothing much.
Just sat there

and talked about how they were
gonna find the starter.

Really? 'Cause I know
you went to Rockabay Records.

What are you talking about?

I saw you come in
with the bag.

Oh, yeah.
We took a small break.

I wanted to fit in,
so I bought a record.

(chuckles)

Here's what I don't get.

Once you gave them
your coin,

why didn't they just ditch you
if they didn't trust you?

Why four hours?

Why go record shopping?

I don't know.
Ask them.

You're lying, Lex.

Maybe Dad can't tell,
but I can.

I don't get it.

We tried running
through the wall

every way humanly possible.

If you're a human trying to run
through a solid brick wall

from a speeding train.

The magic gets us
off the train,

but it's like we're bounced
out of the station.

Sometimes I think the magic
enjoys messing with your head.

Exactly.
And now I hate waffles.

Guys, I don't think
it's how we get off the train,

it's where we get
off the train.

Right. At the station that was
sealed up 14 years ago.

How could that pose
a problem?

I think I know where
she's going with this.

There must be other
shut-down stations

in a city this big.

Why a place called "Unity"?

Because my dad was smart.

He wanted to make sure
the three protectors

are unified about what
to do with the starter.

Right.

And we're not.

Okay, say we agree
we'll destroy it.

How are we gonna do it?

Last summer, when Sellitti's
lost its air-conditioning,

none of the pizza crust
would rise.

The heat killed the yeast in it.

Because yeast is basically
a bacteria, like mold.

Stop there. I don't need
to lose my taste for waffles

and pizza in the same day.

Well, yeast is a starter,
and if heat can kill yeast,

it might be able
to kill our starter, too.

But that's simple yeast.

There's not enough heat
in even boiling water

to kill a magic starter,
or your...

Or my dad would have
done it himself.

But the Kalimba family

had enough heat
to change the weather

when we used it.

Not intense enough.

What if we added Parquinnian?

That's the bonding spice.

I saw it on the spice chart.

So the heat would bond
to the yeast molecules,

and the starter would...

Go as flat as our pizza dough.

That was not a good summer.

Okay, so we're all
on the same page?

♪ ♪

I hate magic!

You can run, but you can't hide.

Well, not in an apartment
this small, anyway.

What do you want?

I want to know what really
happened to our coin.

I already told you.

So tell me again.

I gave it to Ish.
I'm sick of the Wesson legacy

ruining our lives.

I can't believe
I just said that.

Wait, how did...

You spelled me!

"Honey-dew As I Say Sorbet."

Old family recipe.

You're not gonna
tell Dad, are you?

No.

You are.

Well, that was
a total waste of time.

And our food fund.

We're down to two dimes
and a button.

I sense blame in your tone.

I'm not the one who came up
with the "unity" idea.

At least I was trying.

All you ever do is pitch
ridiculous superhero ideas

from your comic books.

Leo's ideas aren't
any more ridiculous

than the ridiculous recipes
in the ridiculous cookbook.

Exactly.
Thank you.

But seriously, Leo,
try pitching something

that isn't from Superman.

I've never pitched
an idea from Superman.

I don't even like Superman.
He's boring.

What are you talking about?

(talking over each other)

Look at them.
They don't even know we're here.

(talking over each other)

That's the problem.

Maybe we should get a slice.

Just until they notice.

(arguing continues)

Hi, guys.

Wow.

KELLY:
I don't know what to say.

I've seen the magic do

a lot of strange things
to people...

Last year,
Kelly turned dark

and tried to tie us
to the book for eternity.

Oh, uh, not really
the right example. Carry on.

You guys need to work together,
not fight.

What are you doing here, anyway?

Besides trying to make us
feel bad about ourselves.

This is the key
to solving your mystery.

(ticking)

A watch with no hands?

How is that supposed
to help us?

Well, we won't know
until we find the hands.

Which could be anywhere.

Um, Zoe?
What's that?

ZOE:
Nothing. Just a necklace

that used to be my... dad's!

ZOE:
They're watch hands.

How long have you
been wearing it?

For as long as I can remember.

My dad never took it off,
so when he died,

my mom gave it to me.

-Let me guess, your dad was...
-A protector.

-Named Ian Maddox.
-Chuck's friend.

Your dad was a time traveler
from the 1800s?

Wow. And I thought
my dad was cool

'cause he lived in London
for a year.

KELLY:
Here we go.

♪ ♪

7:13.

-And it's not ticking anymore.
-Good.

It was very annoying.

ZOE:
But what does this mean?

So you just gave them
the coins?

Everything our family's
been working toward

for 150 years?

I did what I thought
was right.

What's her punishment?
I get her room!

Easy, Cody.
We'll deal with that later.

Along with your punishment
for spelling your sister.

Me?

Families don't spell each other!

Right now, all I care about
is making sure

those protectors don't get
their hands on the starter.

You know, it's really
not necessary

for you guys to come with us.

Really? You guys were
at each other's throats.

It's our... process.

We're fine now.

Promise.

HANNAH:
This mission is too important

to just take a chance.

Are you sure that the watch
is telling us that 7:13

is the time
to get off the train?

Hannah is sure, and she's right
about 86% of the time.

Wow.

"Walk Through Wall-fles."

I never thought I'd have
a chance to try that spell.

It is pretty awesome.

Like being Vision
from the Avengers.

Did you hear what she said?

I'm not the only one.

Uh, everybody?

T-minus 30 seconds.

-(sighing)
-I don't know about this.

I mean, we could definitely make
it through the train doors,

but what about the brick?

-What if we...?
-LEO: Hannah,

you have to calm down
about this.

All right, it's waffle time.

Okay, here we go.

In three, two...

...one.

-(cheering)
-We made it!

Well, that was easy.

KELLY:
Look at this place.

Where do we even start?

There's nothing down here.

Except dust.

And darkness.

And danger.

What did you guys say
about being okay without us?

The real problem is that
we have nothing to go on.

The starter could be anywhere.

Maybe we need to go back
and check the book.

We can't, we'd have to wait
until 7:13 tomorrow.

And we have to get back.

Maybe we're missing a clue.

Did you guys do a mystery board?

A-A what?

A place where you put
all your clues.

No, but we downloaded
everything on our phones.

Why didn't we ever do that?

I'm more of a paper person.

Guys, we found something.

Okay.

Watch this.

See? Two of those pillars
aren't in the picture.

Now you see them, now you don't.

Those obviously aren't original.

Someone must have built these
after this place closed up.

And they make a perfect
equilateral triangle.

An equilateral triangle,
a triangle displaying

three equal sides
and three equal angles.

Whoa, something stuck
from geometry class.

HANNAH: Except this one's
missing its sides.

Okay, go with me here.

Ish, you stand in the middle
of those two pillars,

Leo, between those.

On it.

Now try and put your hands
on the pillars.

(grunts)
We're too small.

It's, like, six feet across.

I just thought three equal sides
for three equal protectors.

Maybe it was
three adult protectors.

Of course.

When Zoe's dad
was a protector, he was 18.

Same with the Wessons;
they were adults.

Darbie, you stand by Leo.

-Kelly...
-I got Ish.

Now hold hands.

Everyone, touch the pillar
next to you.

(clattering, clicking)

(creaking)

What is that?

Would I get in trouble if I said
it looks like the Batmobile?

♪ ♪

LEO: "The starter is here."

Really? After all the complex
clues and crazy riddles,

it comes down to this?

What, did Ian Maddox
just run out of ideas?

(wind gusting)

My dad hasn't made
anything easy before.

Why would he start now?

So this is just a dead end?

No.

A failsafe.

One last clue.

And my dad was
pretty specific about clues.

So when he said "here,"
I'm pretty sure he meant...

...here.

(laughs softly)

To us.

ALL:
To us.

The one thing I don't get
is how did you know

there was a connection
between the pillars?

My dad's greatest fear
was that another protector

would go rogue with the magic.

Like the Wessons.

So he made sure the only way
to access this last clue

was by three protectors
working in unison.

Why do you think it was hidden
in Unity Station?

We're really sorry, guys.

-For what?
-Doubting you.

I guess not all protectors
start out as best friends.

Some have to grow into it.

Aww.

That's enough. Someone hand me
the red pepper flakes.

Speaking of pepper,
I've been thinking,

Werpoes pepper
might destroy the starter.

Actually, I think
we've figured it out.

We're gonna add Kalimba
and Parquinnian

so the starter superheats.

What? Are we way off-base?

No, no, it's just,

we created Parquinnian.

Actually, we spliced together
three spice families.

It was the book
who named it after us.

Oh, now I get it.

Your last names.

Par... quinn... ien.

-That is way cool.
-ZOE: Maybe we'll get

a spice named after us one day.

W-Wal...

-Lett...
-Ta?

"Walletta"?

-(laughter)
-We'll keep working on it.

Tell me again about that spell
you used on your sister.
