Just Add Magic

Last season on "Just Add Magic"...

- What is it? - It's a cookbook.

My grandma's.

Grandma and I never made any of these recipes.

These are totally magical.

Kelly: Grandma isn't sick. She's under a magic spell.

I know that the cure is in the cookbook.

The magic has a mind of its own.

There's never not been a downside.

You are dealing with powerful forces you cannot control.

I gave the book to your grandmother and her friends.

I hope you will be wiser than they.

This is my curse.

When I play outside my house, no one can hear me.

I haven't been able to leave Saffron Falls for over 40 years.

Hopefully, together we can help your grandmother.

Mama P never had any intention of helping Grandma Quinn.

It was always about breaking her own curse.

So long, suckers!

Jake.

He's frozen.

Everybody's frozen.

Kelly: I think it wants us to create our own recipe.

I believe in our cake. I believe in us.

Hannah: That cake unfroze the town, brought Kelly's grandma back,

and broke Miss Silvers' curse.

What if all curses are broken.

We spent years trying to bring him back.

Are you talking about Chuck Hankins?

I'm telling you, he took a bite,

and then just disappeared into thin air.

Grandma Quinn: If Chuck's back,

nobody's safe.

Kelly, you haven't touched your cake.

There was a lot of... cake at the pluot festival.

It's delicious.

Well, you can thank your dad.

He's the one who picked it up from the grocery store.

I got it from the fancy section.

- - Another piece, Mom?

Mom, answer me. Are-- are you--

I'm fine, Scott.

You didn't answer me. I thought you were--

I was taking a sip of water.

I'm sorry, it's just-- I'm still so shocked.

How do we know you're back for good?

I am. Trust me.

Can we have cake every day now?

Mm, I don't know about that,

but how about a game of Monopoly?

I'm the shoe.

Oh, you're gonna have to play without me.

Why? Are you feeling sick?

Everything's fine.

In fact, it's just perfect.

I just want to get some sleep.

So, thank you for the party.

Tomorrow, I'll whup all of you in Monopoly,

and I get to be the shoe.

Grandma.

What are we gonna do about Chuck?

Don't worry about it. We'll figure it out tomorrow.

But you said if Chuck's back, then no one's safe.

I just overreacted.

Let's just get some sleep tonight.

Chuck.

Gina: Hold on.

You're sure it was him? You didn't see his face.

It was him, Gina.

It doesn't seem possible. He's been gone 50 years.

Ordinarily, I'd agree with you,

but I never thought I'd see an entire town

freeze before my eyes, either.

You shouldn't have gone out there alone, Grandma.

If Chuck is dangerous, then you could have gotten hurt.

Don't worry about me.

If he's out there, then we need to find him.

Yes, and fast.

I had a feeling you were gonna say that.

Wow. I haven't seen that in a long time.

May I?

It's so strange holding it again after all these years.

It's like old times.

"Miso-Person's Soup."

"The person you seek will appear in the broth crystal clear.

"You will know where they are, be it far or near."

Okay. That's cool. It's like a crystal ball.

Yes. Way cool.

Werpoes, lapsis, tofu. I think we have all of the ingredients.

Except one.

What's a grunde fingerroot?

Grunde? I've never heard of that before.

The grunde family are vision spices.

That will allow us to see Chuck in the broth.

So where do we get it?

It grows in my garden.

Honestly, I've never had a reason to use it.

Well, you do now. Let's go get it.

It's not that easy.

The root can only be harvested one day a year.

- What? When? - Halloween.

It's only May.

We can't wait 'til Fall.

Who knows what damage Chuck could do by then.

It's okay. We can find another way to locate Chuck.

Somehow.

What took so long?

Darbie walks slow.

What's the big news?

I found a spell.

I was flipping through the book,

and it landed on this.

Hannah: "Pick-A-Date Dates."

First of all, I don't eat dates.

You can make an exception.

This will allow us to go back in time.

Pick a date. We can go back to Halloween,

and get the grunde fingerroot from Miss Silvers' garden.

And then we can come back and make the Miso-Person's Soup,

and find Chuck.

Okay. Best spell ever.

But if we're going back in time,

I say we go see dinosaurs.

How will that help us get the grunde fingerroot?

Maybe they had Halloween in dinosaur times?

Well, maybe they did,

but Miss Silvers wasn't around in dinosaur times.

Let's just go back to last year.

Last year?

Oh, that was a bad Halloween.

Yeah, I didn't like my costume.

And somebody pushed me into the jelly bean display at Mama P's,

which was totally embarrassing.

I know, and Hannah went home sick,

but at least we know what to expect.

This whole thing just feels dangerous.

Not as dangerous as having Chuck running around.

I really don't think we should do this.

Well, what about your grandma?

What did she say?

I, um-- I didn't tell her.

She just got back to normal and has enough stress

worrying about Chuck.

Okay, you're right.

It's up to us.

I agree.

But I still think seeing dinosaurs would be cooler.

Okay, I-- I think we have everything,

but there isn't a riddle.

But the riddle's my favorite part.

Wait, what's this?

It's just a bunch of notes scribbled in German.

Kelly:

Here, I'll run it through my translator app.

I think this is the riddle, guys.

"Back in time you go, date any you pick.

"Half to go, half to come back.

"One way ticket this is.

"Nine more chances you have."

Yes.

That doesn't rhyme.

It's the free version.

Okay, remember, the important thing is

we eat half to get there and half to get back.

So do not lose it, Darbie.

Maybe you should hold onto it for me,

just in case.

Okay, here we go.

Take us to last Halloween.

Did it work?

I don't think so. Everything looks the same.

But we followed the recipe.

Yes!

I thought you'd be a little scared.

Sorry, Dad. You were very frightening.

Hopefully not too scary. I don't want to upset the trick-or-treaters.

I wouldn't worry.

Well, I'm off to the store to buy more candy.

You always buy too much, Dad,

especially last year.

I mean, this year.

I know, but this way there'll be plenty left over.

- For me. -

So now what?

We better get to Miss Silvers'.

Let me grab a sweater, though. I'm dressed for summer.

Kelly: We don't need a map, Darbie.

Well, we don't have time to waste on houses

that pass out generic candy.

Hey, why isn't my house on the map?

I love your parents,

but carrot packs are not candy.

That was close.

We almost ran into our past selves.

How could we not think of this?

Yeah. That would seriously scar me for life.

I have an idea. Come on.

I really think I should have been the bear.

You know I love bears.

But Darbie, you wanted to be the knight.
