?? I'm under your spell ??

?? But I'm okay ??

LIZZIE:
Previously on Spellbound...

[door opens]
- [gasps]

LOLA: For future record,
using a pedestrian

to share Wizen identity
must be carefully handled.

- I truly...

- You used a spell to
get me into this school.

You, my own mother.

- Jack's dad and Benoit's
mom are sitting together.

Love is in the air.

BOTH: We've got to break
up our parents.

- It was a genius idea
to give her the scroll.

We already know that she can
practice modern Wizen magic.

If she can practice
ancient Wizen magic,

that changes everything.

[upbeat music]

?? ??

- I can't tell you

how excited I am about this.

I mean, with all the phones and
screens and tabs and whatnot,

I'm thrilled that
we're going to be

doing an actual
old-fashioned newspaper

on actual paper.

And I must say that I was quite
impressed with your essays

for the editor's position.

It was not an easy task
to choose,

including yours, ladies.

Very good, indeed.

However, there was one
student that surprised me.

Finn Cassidy...

well done.

Over to you, Mr. Editor.

- Why, thank you, Mr. Legrest.
Thank you very much.

Listen up, everyone.

Newspapers are a dying art.

But I'm committed
to making this

the best school paper in the
history of school newspapers.

You feel me?
- That's the spirit, Finn.

- Everyone must
write an article.

You can pair up,
or you can fly solo.

But whatever you do,
make it interesting.

Better than interesting...

make it
the most interesting article

in the history of articles.

- I have loads of ideas.

I wrote for my school
paper back home.

- I keep up with 60 newspapers
around the globe,

in English, French, and Irish.

I get investigative journalism.

- And yet you still don't speak
as many languages as me.

- Nobody does, Finn.
You're gifted.

- Flattery will get you...
maybe somewhere.

We'll see.
- [laughs]

- Keep going.
- Hey, I've got ideas, too.

- So do I, but good luck
getting a word in,

with Miss Journalism
over there.

- That's my girl.
- And I want to hear them all.

Go on. Pitch me your ideas.
Go, go!

- An American in Paris.
- What a clich�. Next.

- Um, what it takes to get into
the Paris Opera Ballet School.

- Talent and grit.

Your article is finished.
Next.

- Behind-the-scenes drama,
especially if you have

a particularly annoying
adversary.

- Nope. The first rule
of journalism

is to stay objective.

You're better than this.

If you want the front cover,
it better jump off the page

like an Olympic diver.

- Well, that doesn't make
sense...divers don't jump.

- You're so literal.
You know what he means.

- People, come on.
This is serious business.

I'm taking pitches
for the next 48 hours.

Make it pop.

And just remember...only one
of you will get the front page.

[steady music]

- Hey.
SIMONE: Hey.

?? ??

[door closes]
- Hey.

- Hey.
- How was your shift at WE?

CECE: It was okay.
MIA: Have you seen my...

CECE: Check out what
Adrian gave me.

- Wait.
Where did you come from?

- What do you mean?
I've been here this whole time.

I was just...

on the floor, stretching,

and coming up
with a brilliant cover story.

- Hey, check it out.

I'm designing my own
wraparound dress.

I'm going to publish a pattern
on how to make your own

from repurposed clothes.

You can use it for dance
or for a night out.

- I love this.

- It's good, maybe not
front-page good, but I like it.

- I don't need the front page
as much as you two seem to.

- It's not so much
a matter of need

as a matter
of who's the most skilled.

And I think we all know
the answer to that question.

- Oh, thank you, Mia.

You're so gracious
to admit that it's me.

- [sighs]
Hilarious.

?? ??

[indistinct chatter]

- As I was saying, check
out what Adrian got me.

?? ??

It's an ancient scroll.

It's so cool.
SIMONE: Let me see.

- And, look, there are
words written on it.

"She could move through water
and command it with her hands."

Wouldn't that be so cool?

"Dangerous.

"Uproar.

The townspeople
banned her spells."

Spells were remembered even
after the magic wore off?

Wow.
That would have been a problem.

?? ??

Hey, what's up?

- Nothing.
I just forgot got my water.

What's that?

- Just something that I found
at a flea market

on the weekend.

- Oh, cool. Can I see?
- Sure.

?? ??

- Well, are you going
to show it to me?

?? ??

- Yeah.

- Are you going to unroll it?
I can't see it like that.

?? ??

- Fine.

Here.

- Oh, wow.
It's really beautiful.

- It's nothing special,
just an old antique.

- That's what
antique means, old.

Oh, my God.

Oh, I'm so sorry.
- Hurry, a towel.

SIMONE:
I've got one.

- Oh, I'm so sorry.

[both screaming]

?? ??

What just happened?
- Are you kidding me?

You just spilled water
all over my stuff.

This is super rare.

- I'm sorry.

- Just go.

[dramatic music]

?? ??

- [gasps]

[gasps]
- [gasps]

- What was that?

SIMONE:
I'm sure it will be fine.

Have you got
your big story yet?

- Not at all.

I wish I could write
about being a witch.

SIMONE: That would definitely
get you the front page.

CECE:
Right? Can you imagine?

Dear readers,
I'm Cece Parker-Jones,

and I have a secret.

I come from a long line
of witches.

And this is my story.

- That would really give
Mia a run for her money.

I wish you could do it.
- Me too.

But it's way too biopic.

Okay, I got to rehearse
and shake up some ideas.

- Me too.
I'll come with you.

?? ??

- Look.
- [chuckles]

Aren't you and Cece a little
young for this kind of thing?

- [chuckles mockingly]
I found this at my mom's.

- No way.
- Way.

- I'll call the shop,
pretend to be my dad.

This ends today.
- Good idea.

[line trilling]
- [sighs]

[deep voice]
Hello.

[clears throat]
This is Barton Ryder.

I was in the shop yesterday
or possibly the day before.

My memory isn't
what it used to be.

I'm a 40-year-old man.
[chuckles]

So, right, anyway, I can't seem
to find my, uh...

purchase.

- [mouthing words]

- Receipt, I meant
to say, obviously,

because why would I call you if
I was looking for my purchase?

[chuckles] Why would you know
where I put my purchase?

[chuckles]

What?
Oh, right.

So you do know
where it is, I guess.

[laughing]
Okay, thanks a lot.

There's a package
ready for pickup.

- Oh, great.

[gentle music]

?? ??

- "A Modern-Day Witch"
by Mia Banks.

A clever journalist
wouldn't stop

until no crystal
was left unturned.

It's been here all along...

the stones, the bowl
of trinkets and crystals.

I mean, hello.

The closet.

?? ??

Aha!

?? ??

"Orange you glad salt spray."

Could these little W packets
somehow be magic?

[package rattles]
No.

?? ??

"Everybody knows spell,"
"rose-colored glasses"...

ARMANDO:
You will all re-audition

for your place
at Paris Opera Ballet School.

This is not ideal, but
it is the only solution

that is fair.

[suspenseful music]

?? ??

MIA:
Did she cheat her way in?

?? ??

The truth must be
in Armando's office.

?? ??

[gasps]
- We must be psychic,

because we keep meeting
at the door like this.

- Are you...psychic?

- Yeah, right.

You okay?
- Absolutely.

The question is, are you?

CECE:
Uh, yeah, totally.

- Okay.

Well, I'm off to check
on something administrative,

you know, something
that everybody knows.

- Okay, then.
Have fun.

I've got an interview
with Jenny.

- We call that detention.
CECE: [scoffs] You wish.

Good luck with your
administrative research.

Sounds super riveting.

[indistinct chatter]

[mysterious music]

?? ??

- Oh. Mia, how many times
must I ask you

not to sneak up on me
like that?

- Sorry, sir.
I was early.

Um, shall we take
the time to go over

the monthly prefect
attendance charts?

- No.
I'm late, Miss Banks.

But go ahead
and file them in the office.

I've got to be somewhere.

[sighs]

?? ??

"Dear Miss Parker-Jones,

"we regret to inform you
that you have not been accepted

into the
Paris Opera Ballet School."

I knew it!

CECE: Thank you so much
for doing this.

I want to do a series
of women of color in ballet,

and I want you to be the first.

- I'm honored that you ask.

We need to share our stories.

Well, my grandmother was
the first Black woman

to perform as a soloist
in a professional company

in Europe, the first ever.

- I can't imagine how difficult
that must have been for her.

- A Black woman in ballet
was unheard of back then.

After she retired,
she taught classes.

And I was there every week
from the time I was five.

I was the only Black
girl in the class.

[soft music]

- Did you ever
feel lonely,

being so different from
everyone else in your class?

- Of course.

And it's not like I could hide
my differences either.

I had no choice
but to keep on going.

My grandmother
would always tell me,

if she could do it, so could I.

But she warned me...

it wasn't easy for anyone
to make it as a dancer,

and it's going to be
ten times harder for me.

- That's why we
have to keep going.

- Exactly.

It's better than it was back
in my day and my grandmother's,

but we're still a long way off
from where we need to be.

That's why my heart sings when
I see young dancers like you.

[chuckles]
- Thank you, Miss Jackson.

That means the world to me.

Can I ask you what message
you'd like to pass on

to the next generation?

- Mm...

Not to be afraid to be
vulnerable or emotional

and not to be afraid to fail

in dance and in life.

?? ??

- "If your activities do stink,

let those who judge you
see through pink."

[pop music playing]

?? ??

- Finn.

?? ??

Do you see roses?
Pink ones?

- Um...no.

- Did you read my article?
- Yeah, honey, I did.

- Well?

- It's a bit out there,
don't you think?

I mean, do you
even have a source?

- [sighs] Oh, Finn, it's all
out there in plain sight.

Can't you see?

- "Add these rose-scented salts
to your bath

"to relax and rejuvenate

when you need a rosy look
at things."

- [spitting]

Bath salts?

- Are you getting enough rest?

- I know what she is, Finn,

and it starts with a W
and ends with an "itch."

You'll see.

You'll all see!

- [inhales sharply]
Um...

[indistinct chatter]

[dramatic music]

?? ??

- I've got it.

What if I say
I'm my dad's representative

and I'm here
to pick up the package?

But instead, I'll say ring.

And if it's not a ring,
they'll say it's not a ring.

- Uh, that sounds complicated.

I'll call my mom,

see if I can get her
to say anything.

- [sighs]
[line trilling]

- Salut Maman.

No, just working on an
article for the school paper.

It's about ringing
in proposals.

What?
No. It's a real thing.

No, it's not
a Vidtik thing, Mom.

It's like, you know, a ring is
in the air,

and I propose
we write an article about it.

- Oui, oui.
Oui, oui.

- Oh, really?

Well, happy I could help.

I'll talk to you later.

Bisous Maman.

Yes.
- What? What?

- I just reminded her
that her ring was being cleaned

and it has to be picked up.
- [laughs]

[upbeat music]

[cell phone chimes]

- It's from my dad.

"The jeweler called to inquire
if I found my receipt,

"which got me thinking.

"Thanks for the push.
I'm going to propose.

Thank you
for giving me the idea."

Great.

Well, I know what to write
for our article.

- I'm way ahead of you.

"Ten Ways to Stop Your Parents
from Getting Married."

Ugh.

Number one, put your
parents' profiles

on different dating sites.

- Two, stop talking
about rings.

?? ??

[keys clacking]

?? ??

- Mia actually wrote this?
"'A Modern-Day Witch.'

"A student uses magic
to get accepted

to the
Paris Opera Ballet School."

Wow. She'll do anything
for the front page,

including lie.

"A book full of spells
that made the Corps de Ballet

of the Paris Opera
Ballet Company sick"?

Well, that's rich.
As if.

"Uses a broom closet."

What does that even mean?

You're not actually
printing this, are you?

- Of course not.
It's bonkers.

But the weird thing is I think
she thinks it's for real,

like, for real real.

I'm worried about her.

- Seriously?
Come on.

- I think she really
thinks you are a...

- Come on, say it.

BOTH: Witch.

[laughter]

?? ??

[cell phone ringing]

Mom.

LIZZIE:
Hey, honey.

- I think Mia knows everything.

And by "I think," I mean Mia
most definitely, 100%, knows.

LIZZIE:
What? How? Why?

- I think she remembers stuff.

LIZZIE:
What makes you say that?

- "A Modern-Day Witch"
by Mia Banks.

Listen to this.

"And if someone can explain

"how I was literally stuck
in a mirror for 12 hours,

"I'd love to know.

"Oh, wait, I do know
because my roommate

"confessed right then and there
that she was a witch.

She calls herself a Wizen."

LIZZIE:
That's not possible.

Pedestrians haven't
remembered spells

cast on them in centuries.

It's ancient magic.
It doesn't exist anymore.

- Well, this must be
a very rare exception,

because she knows everything.

LIZZIE:
Does anyone else know?

- [sighs] I don't think so,
at least not yet.

LIZZIE: Okay, here's
what we're going to do.

Consider your
magic suspension lifted.

It's a very big spell,
but I know you can do it.

JACK: A witch?
- Yes, a witch.

I've seen it with my own eyes.
- Guys, she's not a witch.

- Mia, you did not see it
with your own eyes.

- She's doing
magic or something?

MIA: I saw her cast
the spells myself.

SIMONE:
She's not a witch!

- Oh, hi, there.
Remember this little number?

Sorry I'm late,
but I couldn't get

my broom working this morning.

And my pointy hat's
at the cleaners.

I take it you've all
read the article?

Good. Black cat's out
of the bag, then.

So I'm a witch...

well, a Wizen, to be exact.

All of the women
in my family are.

- Aha!
I told you!

- Yes.
Thank you, Mia, so very much.

Let me get you
all up to speed.

So the last time a pedestrian,
which is you guys,

remembered a spell,
it was hundreds of years ago,

and that did not go well.

So the fact that Mia broke this
story, well, it's incredible.

And I hope you're going
to publish it, Finn.

- Well...
it is an incredible piece.

It's got everything...
danger, intrigue, excitement.

- Before you go to print,
I would like to be Mia's source

and cast a spell
right here, right now.

- Are you sure, Cece?

- Absolutely.

All right, then, let me see...

[clears throat] "There once
was a girl named Mia,

"who had a crazy idea.

"With one dash of mint
and a retraction of print,

we'll start fresh
from the beginning."

[mysterious music]

?? ??

[sighs contentedly]
Let's reset this.

And...action.

- It was a valiant effort.
We should all be proud.

I guess what everyone wants
to know is...

who got the cover, hmm?

"Women of Color in Ballet"

by Cece Parker-Jones.

And on the second page,
Mia's "Modern-Day Witch."

?? ??

- "'Modern-Day Witch.'

"Essential oils at W Apothecary
prove to be

"all the magic anyone needs.

"Spell packets
encourage patrons

to believe in themselves.

Who doesn't need a little
rose color in their day?"

Great article, Mia.
Congrats.

- Congratulations to you.

It's an important story.
You deserve the cover.

CECE:
Thanks, Mia.

[horn honking]

?? ??

[knock at door,
shimmering tone]

?? ??

- It's okay.
You can come in.

It's just Cece and I.

- We got your text,
and we're thrilled

to answer all your questions.

SIMONE: Here.
- Oh, thanks.

- Thank you.

- My mom said something
about ancient magic,

and I knew you guys
would know all about it.

- Oh, this is fascinating.

Well, ancient Wizens were
way more powerful than us,

but we don't really
know much about it.

- Some bad stuff went
down back in the day,

and their magic was archived
in a secret place.

The presiding elders...
East, West, North, and South...

they protect the archives,

and only they know
where the location is.

- How do you know
so much about this?

- Well, I got "A"s
in lineage and history.

- And my mom is a historian
for the Glasgow chapter.

So each tribe had
their own unique way

to preserve the stories
and spells of ancient magic.

And it's also
how Wizens would communicate

with each other in secret.

They wove it into quilts,

fabrics, clothes.

It's actually where
the patchwork quilt originates.

- [chuckles] I could do that
in my clothes...hidden messages.

What a great idea.

- And I read something
about violet water.

- That's the remnants
of spells.

It can cause a pedestrian
to remember a spell,

which can be quite dangerous.

- Only scholars
or really high-level Wizens

know for sure.

- Why the sudden interest
in ancient magic?

- Uh, just something
my mom said.

But she doesn't like
to talk about it,

so I thought I'd ask you.

- We don't really
know much about it.

It's best not to mess
with the old.

- [chuckles softly]
Thanks. I was just curious.

- I hate to say it,
but you guys have to go.

Mia will be back soon.
- Aye.

Good night, girls.

- Talk to you both tomorrow.

[shimmering tone, door closes]

- You have that look
on your face

when you're trying to
figure something out.

?? ??

- I wonder why it changed.

- What do you mean?

?? ??

- Let me try something.

[bottle spraying]

?? ??

See?

- What do you mean?

- It used to be a Wizen
at an old fountain.

Then it turned into two girls.

One had W packets in her hand.

And now this girl in Paris.

- What are you talking about?
- What are you talking about?

- This is a Wizen
at an old fountain.

[dramatic music]
