Just Add Magic

IT'S TIME.

- BUTTER. - BUTTER.

- EGG. - EGG.

CHOCOLATE.

CHOCOLATE.

CHOCOLATE.

both: DARBIE.

WHAT?

WE'RE COOKING, NOT CONTAMINATING.

I WAS JUST DOING CHOCOLATE QUALITY CONTROL.

PUH-LEASE. CHOCOLATE IS CHOCOLATE.

NOT TRUE. THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF CHOCOLATE,

AND FOR THIS RECIPE, WE NEED IT TO BE

80% CACAO FROM BELGIUM.

WOW. THAT'S PRECISE.

GRANDMA ALWAYS SAYS, "PERFECTION'S IN THE DETAILS."

WELL...

NOW SHE HARDLY SAYS ANYTHING.

IT'S OKAY. I'M OKAY.

I JUST MISS THE OLD GRANDMA.

WELL, HAVING HER FAVORITE COOKING COMPANION BAKE

FOR HER BIRTHDAY MIGHT JUST BE

THE MAGIC SHE NEEDS TO FEEL BETTER.

I WANT THE BROWNIES TO BE PERFECT.

I'VE NEVER COOKED FOR HER BEFORE.

THEY'RE GONNA BE PERFECT.

all: CHARLOTTE.

LADIES, CONGRATULATIONS. IF YOU'RE RECEIVING THIS TEXT,

IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T COMPLETELY STINK

AND MIGHT ACTUALLY MAKE THE TEAM TOMORROW.

AS A REMINDER, DOUBLE DRIBBLES ARE LAME FOR THE GAME,

- AND WHEN IN DOUBT-- - all: PASS THE BALL OUT.

PASS-- ON HER, NOT THE BALL.

- SHE'S A LITTLE MUCH. - A LITTLE?

SHE'S NOT EVEN CAPTAIN YET.

TECHNICALLY, SHE HASN'T EVEN MADE THE TEAM YET.

AND NEITHER WILL WE IF WE DON'T PRACTICE.

HOLY BANANA PANTS, WE'VE BARELY PRACTICED.

WE'RE DEAD. DONE-ZO.

- -

BUDDY QUINN!

PUT YOUR FACE AND HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE 'EM.

- LIKE THIS? -

- DON'T YOU DARE. - OR WHAT?

- NO! -

BUDDY! OW.

BUDDY!

BUDDY, GET BACK HERE. STOP.

BUDDY! COME BACK.

- BUDDY? - BUDDY.

BUDDY, YOU'RE IN AN OUT-OF-BOUNDS ZONE.

YOU'RE BREAKING PARENT CODE, AND, OFFICIALLY, SO AM I.

I SEE WHY.

IT'S CREEPY.

IS ANYBODY ELSE CREEPED OUT?

JUST ME?

OKAY.

ROLLER SKATE.

- CLOSE ONE. -

- SHOOT. - GOTCHA.

NO, YOU DON'T!

HOLY BANANA PANTS.

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S A COOKBOOK.

MY GRANDMA'S.

WHICH ONE IS SHE?

THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE.

- WHO ARE THE OTHER TWO? - I DON'T KNOW,

BUT I BET THEY WERE MY GRANDMA'S DARBIE AND HANNAH.

GRANDMA AND I NEVER MADE ANY OF THESE RECIPES.

"CHIPPER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES,"

"LAZY LASAGNA,"

"SHUT 'EM UP SHORTCAKE."

WEIRD NAMES, RIGHT?

SOMEONE CAN CALL THEIR CAKE WHATEVER THEY WANT TO,

AS LONG AS IT'S CAKE,

- AND I GET TO EAT IT. -

- - all: CHARLOTTE.

BREATHE, HANNAH. WE'RE GONNA PRACTICE.

WHAT ABOUT THE BIRTHDAY DESSERT?

- IT'S RUINED. - NO, BUDDY'S BROWNIE DISASTER

WAS A HAPPY ACCIDENT.

- A SIGN. - YOU'RE RIGHT, IT IS A SIGN.

I'M SUPPOSED TO BAKE ONE OF MY GRANDMA'S SECRET RECIPES.

SHUT 'EM UP SHORTCAKE?

- DONE. - YES.

WE'RE GONNA NEED "CEDRONIAN VANILLA."

- DO YOU HAVE THAT? - NO.

BUT I BET I KNOW WHO DOES.

- - KELLY QUINN!

LONG TIME, NO SEE. COME IN. EAT.

JAKE MADE EMPANADAS.

TRY THEM, THEN TELL ME MINE ARE BETTER.

THERE'S NO WAY ANYBODY'S EMPANADAS

ARE BETTER THAN MAMA P'S.

THESE ARE BETTER THAN MAMA P'S.

HA, WELL, DON'T TELL HER.

- NOW, GIVE ME THE BREAKDOWN, KEL. - OKAY.

I TASTE CHICKEN, MUSHROOMS, SERRANO...

- OOH, AND TARRAGON. - MM...

NO, NOT TARRAGON, IT'S ROASTED CUMIN.

- NICE. - COOKING'S IN MY BLOOD.

AHEM. HATE TO BREAK UP THIS LITTLE COOKING SHOWDOWN,

BUT WE HAVE A VANILLA SITCH.

- OH, HOW CAN I HELP? - CEDRONIAN VANILLA?

STUMPED ME. I DON'T THINK THERE'S SUCH A THING AS CED--

CEDRONIAN? SO WHAT ARE YOU BAKING?

- SHORTCAKE FOR MY GRANDMA. - OH, SO THOUGHTFUL.

IT'S UNCANNY HOW MUCH YOU'RE BECOMING LIKE HER.

I WISH SHE WAS MORE LIKE HER.

SO HOW MUCH FOR THE VANILLA?

NO, NO. IT'S ON THE HOUSE.

THANK YOU.

FOR YOUR GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY.

WAIT, HOW DID YOU KNOW IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY?

COME ON. WE GOT TO GO.

I HATE THIS SHORTCUT.

IS SHE SITTING ON HER PORCH BEING CREEPY?

I'M NOT GONNA LOOK.

FINE. I'LL LOOK.

- NO, WE'RE GOOD. - OKAY.

HI, MS. SILVERS.

AWESOME HEDGE WORK.

- IT'S A TOPIARY. - OKAY.

WE NEED TO GO.

- LET'S GO. - COME ON, LET'S GO.

- ADD ONE CUP OF FLOUR. - ONE CUP COMING UP.

NAILED IT.

DARBIE, YOU JUST WON TRASH BALL.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NEXT?

HELP KELLY AND HANNAH BAKE?

I THOUGHT I WAS HELPING BY BEING THE OFFICIAL TASTE TASTER.

BUT I GUESS IF YOU NEED ME TO DO EVERYTHING...

JUST ADD ONE TEASPOON OF CEDRONIAN VANILLA.

HIT ME.

CAN YOU BE ANY CLOSER TO THE CAKE?

YES, BUT THEN I'D BE EATING IT,

AND, WELL, I'M RESTRAINING MYSELF ON BEHALF OF A BIRTHDAY.

UH, GUYS?

I THINK WE MISSED SOME FINE PRINT.

"BE WARNED, WHENEVER ADDING CEDRONIAN SPICE,

WHATEVER RESULTS WILL COME WITH A PRICE."

I'M NEW TO THIS,

BUT DO RECIPES NORMALLY COME WITH WARNINGS?

NO, THEY DO NOT.

TRUE, BUT NO ONE'S EVER COMPLAINED ABOUT ANYTHING

MY GRANDMA'S MADE.

YEAH. MY DAD ENTERED THE PIE-EATING CONTEST AT SCHOOL

JUST TO EAT HER PIE WITH HIS FACE.

- - AND THAT'S HIM.

I GOTTA GO, BUT BRING ME A PIECE TOMORROW.

IT'LL BE MY REWARD AFTER I CRUSH IT IN TRYOUTS.

AND DARBIE O'BRIEN SETS THE WORLD RECORD

- FOR THE BEST MISS. HA! - both: WHOO!

- YEAH! ROBOT! - I SAW THAT.

SHE DIDN'T.

OKAY, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU?

I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO. IT'S ME.

I KNOW WHEN SOMETHING'S UP.

WHAT'S WRONG?

I'M AFRAID DARBIE'S NOT GONNA MAKE THE TEAM.

I MEAN, DO YOU SEE ALL THAT?

SO HER SHOT'S A LITTLE OFF.

SHE'LL HUSTLE ON DEFENSE.

MAYBE.

BUT WE NEEDED TO PRACTICE.

SHE NEEDED TO PRACTICE, AND IF SHE DOESN'T MAKE THE TEAM--

- SHE'S GONNA MAKE THE TEAM. - AND IF SHE DOESN'T,

THINGS ARE GONNA CHANGE.

WE'RE NOT ALL GONNA BE TOGETHER.

BECAUSE WE'LL BE ON THE TEAM, AND SHE WON'T.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU CAN'T DO THAT.

I JUST DID.

NOW SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR SHORTCAKE HOME.

IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.

I WAS A LITTLE CONCERNED WHEN THE SMOKE DETECTOR WENT OFF,

BUT DINNER TASTED GREAT, DAD.

THAT'S BECAUSE MOM GOT TAKEOUT

AFTER DAD BURNED THE CHICKEN.

I FORGOT TO SPRAY THE PAN.

OR TURN OFF THE OVEN.

IT'S OKAY. YOU'RE STILL CUTE.

WELL, AT LEAST THE COOKING SKILLS

ONLY SKIPPED ONE GENERATION, RIGHT, MOM?

IT'S CAKE TIME! I WANT TO CARRY IT.

- NO! BUDDY! - BE CAREFUL.

- HEY, HEY, HEY. - KNOCK IT OFF.

NO, BUDDY, I MADE IT!

WATCH OUT-- OH! OH.

- OH! - YOU GUYS!

NOT AGAIN, BUDDY!

FIVE SECOND RULE!

- IT'S OKAY, IT'S STILL GOOD! - HEY, BUDDY.

- UGH. - OKAY.

GRANDMA CAN STILL EAT IT. SHE DOESN'T CARE.

SHUT UP, BUDDY! SHE DOES CARE!

HEY, HEY, KNOCK IT OFF. IT'S GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY.

COME ON, BUDDY. IT'S GONNA TAKE

A LOT OF PAPER TOWELS TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS.
