Look, Sal, if this is about the Scrambler,
I called the distributor weeks ago,
said I needed a right foot support for a 450.
Idiot sent me a left foot support in crap condition
and then gave me manitude when I demanded a replacement.
It's not about the Scrambler.
The owner of the building called. Very angry.
Does not like to see his wall covered
in graffiti.Whoa, whoa, dude--
got to be careful throwing around the G word.
I mean, look at it.
The technique, the clever use of metaphor.
This is a serious piece of art.
Kaela, I know it was you.
I see the paint on your coveralls,
the spray cans in your locker.
Well, I mean, technically they're cubbies,
'cause someone was too cheap to spring for actual lockers.
But, um...For months,
I see you rubbing your head.
You come in late, tired.
Can't be good, sniffing fumes.
It's not me, Sal.
Kaela, you're a great mechanic.
No one better.
But I worry.
And for your own good, you got to choose.
Work for me,
maybe someday even own the shop.
But you got to stop with painting on the walls.
KAELA: So I quit.
Sal said I could apologize to the owner of the building
and, you know, paint over it, but my art comes first.

"But I'm concerned you have accrued a substantial amount
of debt due to prior medical complications..."
I don't sound like that.Yeah, you do, bitch.
Okay, well, I have to blend in with the suits,

Mm-hmm. Look, I get where I'm at financially

[music playing]So it's a pixie fledgling ceremony
for my new friend Annie.
It's a big deal, like a quinceañera or a Bat Mitzvah,
only with Pixies.
it's when they finally get their wings.
Could you do that a little bit more quietly?
Sorry. You're hungover.
I'll make some sopa de pollo con fideos.
You don't need to keep taking care of us, Josefina.
It's what family does, prima.
And I'm going to stay until you and Mags are okay again.
Speaking of.Morning.
[softly]: Hey.
Pixie fledgling ceremony today.
Mel's totally gonna rally and go, right, Mel?
Hey, Josefina, could I talk to Mel
for a second, alone?Sure.
MAGGIE: And would you turn down the music?
I got to go get ready.
This hair isn't gonna fix itself.
If this is about you and the apartment again...
A unit finally opened up at Northgate.
It's, like, the perfect size for me,
and I'll have a view of the woods.
I just need someone to cosign the lease.
So you're taking off?
Mel, this... this isn't working.
Believe me, I know.
We've looked into the lineage of every witch on that board,
gone through Mom's old letters
to see if we have another secret sister...
Yes, that, but also us.
Something has to change.
Just like that?
Like you said,
something has to change.
Well, thanks, I guess.

Philadelphia?
Bring it on.
Mel? What are you doing here?
And what was that smoke?
It's nothing. I...
I realized I forgot my jacket... somewhere.
And I went to grab it and go home, but...
where are we?
Philadelphia. I was trying to go to Mexico City,
but the board sent me here.
That doesn't make any sense.
Think we should go home.
By "home," do you mean Vera Manor
or a crappy apartment in Northgate?
Seriously? You want to do this here?
I don't want to do this at all.
Maggie, look out!
Are you crazy?
You're lucky I installed new brakes. I got...
It's you.
Maggie, look.
How do you know about that symbol?
Wait, we need to talk.

That would explain why we both ended up in Philadelphia.
Like some magical fate brought us here.
You saw the lightning.
The same as when it happened to us.
Okay.
Great time for the clutch to go.
What the...
Whoa...
We need to get her back to Seattle,
explain this all, like Harry did with us.
I'm not saying we tie her to a chair in the attic,
just, like, a gently forced trip.

No. You're not gonna do anything
that's gonna stop me from...
Oh.
What... what was that light?
I incepted you with calm.
You should feel less anxious.
There's a lot we need to explain, but first,
how did you get here?
I was on my bus, and...
...a ball that I painted
came out of the canvas,
and then there was, like, this circle of light.
A portal.
And I, um...
...I got sucked through it to this weird-ass bunker.
Command center.

Did you use a dousing rod?
What-what are you talking about?
Uh, you are a witch, right?
Or magical
in some way?
Magical, like, um, like, "Poof,
watch me make this elephant disappear"? [laughs]
She's not a witch.
Look, I-I was brought up to respect
whatever version of spirituality works for you, but...
wands and broomsticks? [chuckles]
Try Potentia Trium.
If she's the one, it should work.
We need to hold hands.
And say Potentia Trium.
This is a cult, isn't it?

Okay.
On the count of three.
One, two, three.
ALL: Potentia Trium.
Well, I guess that's that.

She's not it, Maggie.
Harry, she knows about the tree.
And Mel and I saw the same lightning
when we first met Macy.
She's not a witch, doesn't know anything about magic.
Look, we would've said the same thing
before mom unbound our powers.
It doesn't make sense.
This random person,
seemingly unconnected to either of you,
and she's the one who's supposed to replace Macy?
Harry, is there any part of you
that doesn't want her to be a Charmed One because...No,
she can't be it.
And I'm gonna prove it.

Whatever trick you used to get me here,
just reverse it and send me home.
No. We need to talk some more.
About what?
How Hocus Pocusis a documentary
and there's a Quidditch field out back?
You're not joking, are you?We think
you might be one of the most important witches alive.
You might be the third Charmed One,
a protector of the magical world.
You guys are actually nuts.

not that girl.
Look, we get it.Mel.
It's hard to even comprehend.Mel.
Wait, is that...
Josefina. Yeah.
'67 Bonneville, you say?[American accent]: Yeah, I've been thinking
about buying it, and I need someone to check it out.
Bring it in. I'll have my new guy look it over.
New guy? Oh, I came here
because I was told to ask for Kaela.
Kaela.
Yeah.Uh, she's on vacation.
Ah.But let me get a photo of my new guy's work.
He's really great.
[regular accent]: Now, that is interesting.
[shutter clicks]
It has to be some form of
transformational magic.Like that witch Jordan found
trapped in the painting.
How could this have happened?
No one else has access
to the command center.
Wait, could eating this have caused it to happen?
Where did you get that from?
It's like the...
the thing that happened on my bus, with the ball.
Her art comes to life.
[exhales]
So she has manifestation powers,
which would make sense for the new third.
New?

Hide your girlfriends, folks. Mel Vera is back in the house.
Look, if Lady Picasso here really is
a manifestor, especially one who doesn't know
her abracadabra from gesundheit,

From the what?KAELA: A negative space.
The term for the unused area around a drawn figure.
So you're saying
that when my apple manifested,

She became part of the manifestation, leaving behind...
Unstable negative space.
Kind of like some of the ladies you've ghosted around here.

All right, how do we fix it?
Look, I'm just spitting theories. You want a pressurized
Mumford trap to catch a problematic dwarf,
I'm your lass. I don't know
what to tell you about your little
paper doll predicament other than
get your crap together before your cousin bleeds out.
What?
Bleeds out?
Well, you did rip her arm off.
Oh, my God.
If I'm the cause of this, we need to go back and fix it now.
Do either of you have any idea how to do that?
You're the artist.
Yeah, I paint on walls and canvas,
not negative space beings.
I have Josefina's arm.
Okay, well...
I have some paints in my bag.
Maybe I can go back and fill in the chaotic space?
We can't just go rushing back.
Someone's gonna get hurt. We need a plan.
Kaela, you don't understand.
This is really dangerous.
We can't just go running back there.
What I can't do is be
the reason that somebody bleeds out.
Supe totes thanks for healing me.
And the others.
I thought Harry Greenwood was the only Whitelighter left.
I'm...
I'm not a Whitelighter, exactly. I...
Honestly not sure what I am.
Well, whatever you are, I can see why Maggie likes you.
[soft chuckle] I'll call her and Mel,
get them to come help you find your sister.No.
This is a pixie matter.
We'll find her, fix it.
Do you have any idea
what caused your sister to hulk out?
Maybe the goddess was displeased with her offering?
But that wouldn't explain the super cray bat wings.
Be right back.[laughs softly]

we could staple her back together?
KAELA: Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
Uh, you go for the paints,
and I'll try to cover you.

I'm going.

Well, that didn't work.Yeah.
And this is why we make a plan.
