Yeah, chefs cook off against each other to see who's got the best dish. 32 00:02:55,620 --> 00:02:56,640 Kind of a guilty pleasure. 33 00:02:56,900 --> 00:02:59,820 No guilt on my end. I think cooking shows are very comforting. 34 00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:02,220 And who decides what food is best? Oh, it's the host. 35 00:03:02,670 --> 00:03:07,310 It's this wacky brother-sister duo from Germany and... That's him. The show 36 00:03:07,310 --> 00:03:10,710 revolves around food, but you, the viewer, cannot eat it. It's not about 37 00:03:10,710 --> 00:03:12,370 that.

They really were quite fashionable. 52 00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:06,900 Oh, do you guys smell that? 53 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:11,080 No, I can't smell anything. My nose is as stuffed as a Thanksgiving turkey. 54 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,800 Just a packet of perfectly popped popcorn. 55 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,380 Perfect.

Oh, yeah, Jolly's right. That can happen. It can really 61 00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:39,700 trigger your olfactory system. 62 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,900 You're just haunted by my undeniable pheromones, huh? 63 00:04:43,180 --> 00:04:44,180 Oh, God. 64 00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:47,560 Connor is smelling the television. He's finally losing it. 65 00:04:50,380 --> 00:04:52,700 I'm not losing it. Okay, I can just... 66 00:04:58,510 --> 00:05:00,750 Is it me, or was that a bit of an overreaction? 67 00:05:01,670 --> 00:05:02,990 No, I shouldn't have mocked him. 68 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:05,390 Remember the buzz demon? 69 00:05:06,430 --> 00:05:07,430 Oh, God. 70 00:05:08,030 --> 00:05:11,290 Connor's greatest fear is that the library will drive him mad, and he'll be 71 00:05:11,290 --> 00:05:12,510 lost down a rabbit hole alone. 72 00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:13,890 I feel terrible. 73 00:05:14,330 --> 00:05:15,330 Charlie's right. 74 00:05:15,350 --> 00:05:17,470 Let's give our pal the evening to chillax. 75 00:05:17,810 --> 00:05:19,090 Chillax. Tomorrow, we'll apologize. 76 00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:41,040 I cannot wait to discover the next wonderful chef. Who will be the last 77 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,040 chef standing? 78 00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:48,300 I cannot wait. We've been to so many wonderful cities, haven't we, Hilda? So 79 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:51,960 many, so many different dishes. Oh, so we tried. 80 00:05:52,340 --> 00:05:53,680 Yes, once we had tacos. 81 00:05:54,100 --> 00:05:57,940 The tacos were very good. Does anyone else smell that? 82 00:06:13,390 --> 00:06:14,990 Is that a bag of rice? 83 00:06:15,430 --> 00:06:16,430 Mmm! 84 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:18,070 I microwaved it. 85 00:06:18,370 --> 00:06:22,630 Okay. How's the dissection coming along, hmm? We must uncover the secret of the 86 00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:26,090 mystery sent for Connor post-haste, so he knows that we are taking him 87 00:06:26,090 --> 00:06:30,130 seriously. I have taken apart the entire television, and there's nothing out of 88 00:06:30,130 --> 00:06:32,110 the ordinary. I've even scanned it with the app, but nothing. 89 00:06:32,330 --> 00:06:33,670 Have you ever heard of a magic television? 90 00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:37,250 Lysa, you may recall I hail from the 1800s. 91 00:06:37,470 --> 00:06:39,510 Every television is magical to me. 92 00:06:39,910 --> 00:06:41,890 Aphrodite was said to have an intoxicating scent. 93 00:06:42,670 --> 00:06:47,090 Some deities were drawn to the mortal realm using incense. Plus, I found a ton 94 00:06:47,090 --> 00:06:49,930 of articles talking about the science of smell. Yeah, it's complicated. 95 00:06:50,250 --> 00:06:51,250 Smell is linked to emotion. 96 00:06:51,630 --> 00:06:54,730 Our olfactory systems travel directly through the areas of the brain that 97 00:06:54,730 --> 00:06:55,730 process memories. 98 00:06:55,870 --> 00:06:59,690 And eating is also connected to smell. Yeah, the complex flavors we taste are 99 00:06:59,690 --> 00:07:00,710 actually possible because of smell. 100 00:07:01,010 --> 00:07:03,870 Could the magic be coming directly from the show itself? 101 00:07:04,430 --> 00:07:06,390 But that doesn't explain why only Connor could smell it. 102 00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:09,250 They did say the next episode was filming in Belgrade. 103 00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:16,310 The Bellbrite studio stages. 104 00:07:16,990 --> 00:07:18,290 They must be filming there today. 105 00:07:18,610 --> 00:07:19,610 Well, that confirms it, then. 106 00:07:19,890 --> 00:07:22,150 There is something magical afoot at that studio. 107 00:07:22,590 --> 00:07:24,890 We shall solve this smell conundrum by suppertime. 108 00:07:25,310 --> 00:07:26,430 And surprise him. 109 00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:55,840 Wonderful to see the can-can is still going strong.

It's not even about the meal, really. 567 00:36:33,770 --> 00:36:34,830 It's about breaking bread. 568 00:36:35,990 --> 00:36:37,250 The people who accept you. 569 00:36:41,190 --> 00:36:43,010 The smell is gone. 570 00:36:44,190 --> 00:36:45,790 The spell is broken. 571 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,180 It's all coming back to me now. 572 00:37:02,380 --> 00:37:06,520 It was a smell that lured me to this show weeks ago. 573 00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:11,180 Strawberries and whipped cream, my husband's favorite dessert. 574 00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:17,820 He would have it every night before bed, entirely too often. 575 00:37:18,460 --> 00:37:20,620 He's been gone for five years now. 576 00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:22,260 I'm very sorry to hear that. 577 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,620 I'm sure he would have been proud of how well you did on this show. 578 00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:29,580 Even if it was an evil plot to eat. 579 00:37:30,110 --> 00:37:31,110 People. 580 00:37:31,570 --> 00:37:32,570 Yeah, 581 00:37:33,170 --> 00:37:34,250 even so. 582 00:37:35,270 --> 00:37:37,030 Your cauldron, madam. 583 00:37:38,670 --> 00:37:42,410 Cauldron? It's a very high-end Dutch oven. 584 00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:48,490 Oh, I see. A regrettable jumping to conclusions on my part. It's just that 585 00:37:48,490 --> 00:37:50,670 witches get me agitated. 586 00:37:51,130 --> 00:37:54,810 Speaking of which, why did you have this in your dressing quarters? 587 00:37:56,230 --> 00:37:57,910 I'm not very proud of that. 588 00:37:58,230 --> 00:38:03,330 The pressure of winning, week after week, it just got to me. So I figured if 589 00:38:03,330 --> 00:38:08,550 I can steal their recipe book, I could get some insights into their taste. 590 00:38:09,450 --> 00:38:11,490 But you couldn't make hands or tails of it? 591 00:38:11,930 --> 00:38:15,030 No. It turned out their taste was me. 592 00:38:15,970 --> 00:38:16,970 Well, 593 00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:23,470 I shall leave you to your Dutch oven, as I tend to an oven of a more spookier 594 00:38:23,470 --> 00:38:24,470 origin. 595 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,100 It appears as though they've been cooked. 596 00:38:43,300 --> 00:38:48,900 I know you're not fond of any witches, but these two seemed remarkably nasty. 597 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,220 I'm glad they're taken care of. 598 00:38:52,750 --> 00:38:56,690 That cold of yours was quite the boon. Yeah, but I'm going to be glad when I 599 00:38:56,690 --> 00:38:57,750 can breathe properly again. 600 00:38:57,990 --> 00:39:00,230 As am I. The mental place has some staying power. 601 00:39:00,450 --> 00:39:02,950 Smell if that's a mystery, is it not? No, it isn't. It's a science, and 602 00:39:02,950 --> 00:39:06,830 science saved the day once again. The gingerbread spell turns you into food by 603 00:39:06,830 --> 00:39:07,830 taking away your memory. 604 00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:11,210 Fine. I begrudgingly admit that your knowledge of the link between memory and 605 00:39:11,210 --> 00:39:12,210 scent was rather useful. 606 00:39:12,470 --> 00:39:14,530 And your obsession over the microwave was, too. 607 00:39:14,750 --> 00:39:18,130 Yes, although I've moved on to the wonders of the air fryer. Oh, do you 608 00:39:18,130 --> 00:39:21,330 think Elaine will allow us to get one for the annex? You know, I don't think 609 00:39:21,330 --> 00:39:22,330 we have the counter space. 610 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,260 What are you doing? They go in the library. 611 00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:31,040 What? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. This whole thing has been such an ordeal that I 612 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,040 stopped by the market on the way back and got these. Oh, my God. 613 00:39:35,380 --> 00:39:36,339 Do you want one? 614 00:39:36,340 --> 00:39:39,420 Oh, I'm actually...

After all, I thrive in high-pressure environments, excellent at 622 00:40:08,020 --> 00:40:12,040 strategic decision-making, and I almost always know when something is cake or 623 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,040 not cake. 624 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,280 Connor, this looks amazing. 625 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,620 Oh, you are kinder than my last critics? 626 00:40:24,210 --> 00:40:27,030 Points. None of this is cake. 627 00:40:27,430 --> 00:40:28,890 Sure. Positive. 628 00:40:29,590 --> 00:40:30,590 Wait. 629 00:40:32,430 --> 00:40:33,430 Food is memory. 630 00:40:34,270 --> 00:40:37,210 It's your past. It's your community. It's your home. 631 00:40:38,270 --> 00:40:39,270 I found my home. 632 00:40:39,430 --> 00:40:43,230 And so I wanted to share a meal that has brought me comfort throughout the years. 633 00:40:43,830 --> 00:40:46,570 And say thank you to the library for bringing me here. 634 00:40:46,870 --> 00:40:50,410 You fought the gingerbread spell admirably, my dear friend. And you could 635 00:40:50,410 --> 00:40:51,410 only do so... 636 00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:52,940 By being such a good librarian. 637 00:40:53,240 --> 00:40:57,920 Yeah. And we got your back, no matter what happens. We've always had your 638 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,839 back. 639 00:40:58,840 --> 00:40:59,840 Since day one. 640 00:41:01,020 --> 00:41:02,140 Hmm. A toast. 641 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,400 A farewell to the smell spell. 642 00:41:04,620 --> 00:41:07,960 A spell I cannot undersell as it has no parallel. 643 00:41:09,660 --> 00:41:11,240 To no more stupid rhymes. 644 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,720 To spending time with the people that matter. 645 00:41:17,140 --> 00:41:18,140 Family. 646 00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:20,240 To the library.
