I can't believe she didn't call me first.
No offense. None-none taken.
Or Harry, or Jordan.
Look, I don't... want to get involved in couple stuff, but
she made it sound like her and Jordan had some kind of fight.
And, um,
Harry... (exhales)
I don't know what's going on with him,
but I think he's burned out.
He told me last night he was gonna go live a little,
whatever that means.
Great time for a midlife crisis.
Did Maggie say anything about the arrest?
No.
And... I didn't want to push her.
I had no idea she was this out of control.
I should've known.
No.
(sighs) I know I can fix this
if I can just get Maggie to open up.
I think Maggie just needs time.
No, we don't have time.
Not with the Tallyman out there planning God knows what.
I just wish I could take her away.
Okay, well, what if you could?
I know I'm not an expert witch, but I did
survive being swallowed by a Snake Lady yesterday,
so I'm sure I can hold down the fort for a few hours.

How do I use that thing?
All you need to know is that if you see a red light,
that's bad, and you call me.
Okay. I've got you on favorites.
No cell reception where I'm taking Maggie, so...
...you need to call me on this.
Call you on this?
All right.

I hear this, and I will
get back to you in less than a minute.

Ripples is the number one

Josefina tried to get us to go there,

I'm really tired. Maybe another time.
Well, listen to this,
"Powered by an ancient, crystalline spring
that refreshes and renews."
Sounds like a bath, which we have here.
I just...
I really want to be alone, okay?
What you want and what you need
are two different things.
You've been through a lot, Maggie.
You need this.
I need this. We need this.
Okay, fine, I'll go,
on one condition.
Please don't interrogate me about last night.
Okay.
This is gonna be great for all of us.
You and I are gonna get a little R&R,
and Kaela is going to get an easy

ARNOLD: Welcome to Ripples,
the spa at Merrow's Spring.
I think he's a merman.
Please don't pander to me, Mel.
Hey, Arnold?
You have a reservation?
Yes, for Mel and Maggie.
Vera.
Vera! The Charmed Ones.
Yeah.
and I thought it might be a joke.
You wouldn't believe how many reservations we get
for Morgan le Fay and Stevie Nicks.
(bell rings) Robert!
Rob!
Thank you, Robert.
Uh, please take the Charmed Ones' bags
and such to the lockers.
ARNOLD: Putting away the tail...
Right this way.
Sorry about Robert. He's new.
And this is our lounge
and gift shop with unique items
you will not find anywhere else.
All bath bombs are 50% off today only.
Hm. Well, maybe tomorrow as well.
And as you can see, our majestic water lily has just bloomed.
I think it's an omen that
you are about to have the most soothing day.
We'll start with the Phoenix Facial.
Then the Kraken Callous Nibble--
don't worry, they're just babies,
don't have their adult teeth yet.
And then, my favorite, the scalp massage.
Do you have a treatment for sore muscles?
From, like... fighting too much?
Unbelievable.
We've been here ten seconds, and you're already fishing for info.
We agreed, Mel. That is not
what I meant, Maggie.
We eschew tension here at Ripples,
so, for you two, the, uh,
the Premium Treatment will be gratis.
Can we just try to have fun?
I don't know, can we?
No talking, no questions, just...
Kraken nibbles, okay?
Great! We'll have that parched
and dull skin of yours glowing in no time.
(whirring)
Not again.
I really got to figure this out.
Queen of the world, my ass.
(inhales) Okay.
Hm.
(grunts) Ah.
Crap. Did I do that? Oh, no.
Um... (screams)
Oh, no.
Maggie and Mel...
(grunts)
Oh, no, no.
ARNOLD: Everything has to be perfect
for the Charmed Ones, so when you are finished here,
I want you to polish the lily pads.
(door closes)
(Tallyman humming)
Hello?
Hey, this isn't funny.
Come on, this is dangerous. It's really hot in here.
(humming continues)
Donnie, is that you?
Don-Donnie, I swear...
(grunts) Please.
Help! Somebody! (grunts)
I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
Donnie, I'm gonna break down the door!
Let me out!
(grunting)
(gasping): I can't....
breathe.
You good? Mm-hmm.
This is so great.
After everything, you know?
It was really hard
to talk to Ruby. Hard, but good.
I-I have so much work to do on myself.
But, I mean, we all do, right?
We're not supposed to talk with the masks on.
Right, but I was wondering, since
you're the expert, if there was a healthier way
for me to redirect my anger.
Respect the mask, Mel.
Sure, but...
respect my intelligence.
We're talking about me, we're not talking about you.
We had a deal.
Mask.
But... Shh!
KAELA: Hey, Mel,
so there's been a slight issue, um...
One of my doodles came to life, and then there was a ruckus,
and then your lights went red for a second,
and I'm pretty sure no one is in danger,
but now... the conch
is... (sighs)
The conch is in pieces,
and I just, I just need to make sure you're okay, so...
(sighs) What's the point?
You're not gonna get this message anyway.
(sighs)
Hey, don't worry, I'm...
I'm gonna fix this, okay? I promise.
Hm...
Hi, there.
Excuse me. Sorry. Hi. I'm looking for Roxie.
I'm hoping she can help me fix this.
She expecting you?
Then she's not in. Okay.
Meow.
Been to friendlier bars in South Philly
on days when the Eagles lost.
(clears throat) Maybe I could help.
Hmm?
I've seen you around. Was hoping we'd meet again.
Oh, right, I didn't recognize you with your pants on.
(chuckles) Seriously, I can help you.
That's a Summoning Conch, right?
Or at least... was.
Mm. Yeah, uh, here's the thing,
I'm kind of on a tight time line,
and I don't know you,
and I don't put my personal business
on the street with strangers, so...
Fair enough. Name's Dev.
And you are...?
Very hard to impress.
(vocalizing)
(rumbling)
What was that?
It's like I was saying, I can help you.
I'm what's known as a Ghandarva.
The intersection of music and magic
happens to be my sweet spot, so you might as well let me try,
unless... you got a better option.
(sighs)
Okay.
I give.
We did not come all the way
to a magical freaking spa
to sit side by side like bitchy statues.
I told you
how I proposed to a wonderful woman,
and she ran away screaming.
So, please, just let me in.
All right, third strike. I'm out.
Okay, I'm-I'm sorry. I just, I want to make things right.
Right?
You want to fix broken Maggie.
Just like Jordan.
Cross me off your to-do list, Mel.
I am a person. I'm not a project.
That is not fair.
You attacked a human.
That is so bad.
He was harassing me.
And I was...
(sighs) It's okay.
I am not here to judge you.
I don't want
to talk about it, Mel.
If you want to help me, just...
leave me alone.
Okay.
Fine.
I'm going home.
I'm staying right here,
where you're not.
(exhales)
Finally, some peace and quiet.
(vocalizing)
No, no. All right. Mm.
(resumes vocalizing)
Okay. (laughs)
Okay, can we just speed this up, please?
magic like this is more of an art
than a science. You should know all about that.
What do you mean?
That searching look in your eye,
trying to pry beauty and meaning
out of everything around you.
Every artist has it.
Uh, no. (clears throat) No.
(chuckles) No.
Okay, you get what art means to me,
and then...
you get me.
And, um... (clears throat) then I'm in trouble.
So, can we... can we just...
Professionally speaking,
what is your power?
I'm a manifester.
You're a manifester? Then what are we messing with this for?
You can just draw a new one.
Uh, you could draw anything.
Yeah, okay, well, clearly, you don't know squat
about manifestationing,
and I don't really have time to explain it
to you, so can you just... get to it.
Oh...
you're a newbie.
(clicks tongue) You're very lucky you ran into me.
I can help you with your real problem.
The conch doesn't need fixing, you do.
(chuckles) And what do you mean by that?
What I mean is, if you want this done fast,
pick up your pen.
MASSEUR: Hi.
Okay to proceed?
Yeah, of course.
Don't worry.

you're doing too little.
Give me your hand. Why?
Can you trust me for, like, one second?
Please. Okay.
Now...
what do you feel?
A martini glass.
I know it's a martini glass, but what do you...
feel?
In your heart?
Artists like us, we don't just create
from what we see and think, but from our experiences.
So, yes, you're right,
this is just a martini glass,
but that's only half of it.
I want you to draw a martini,
but this time, don't just think...
...feel.
(bell ringing)
Hello? Anybody?
I just want to get my things.
Good to know customer service sucks everywhere.
(Arnold grunting)
ARNOLD: So much heavier than you look...
DEV: Okay.
Concentrate.
Remember the anticipation of the drink.
The first taste on your lips.
The sensation of the vermouth
as it hits the back of your throat.
(chuckling)
I, um...
I've never manifested anything without the drawing coming off
the page before.
And now, the final test.
What? Oh, no, no, no. Please don't do that. Last time
someone tried one of my creations, it-it turned badly.
Like, they turned two-dimensional...
bad.
(stammers)
(inhales)
Is it...?
(gags)
(coughing)
What... what's happening?
Oh, no. Help. Dev!
Help!
No, no, no. This has way too much vermouth in it. (laughing)
Dude. (laughs)
What the hell?
See? I told you nothing bad would happen.
(winces)
Oh, no. Oh, no.
Oh... Um...
I jinxed it, didn't I?
I think so. Should we get out of here?
E-Even for me, that was probably one martini too many.
Dude, I finally got my power working,
and now I can't switch it off.
Well, maybe deep down inside
you don't want this moment to end.
Oh, no, I really do.
Especially since I'm no closer to having a working conch.
All right, but you got to admit,
things are trending in the right direction.
(chuckles)
and you made a new friend.
(clears throat)
(exhales)
(groans) That-that was a mistake.
I'm really sorry.
Oh. (chuckles) That's how you stop it.
Yup. (blows)
(groans)
Who are you?
(sighs)
It says your sister was supposed to be here.
Will she be joining?
Oh...
No, I-I don't... I don't think so.
Oh.
Siblings, right?
They never do what they say they're going to.
(groans) Tell me about it.
You know, she said we were coming here for some relaxation.
Do you know what's not relaxing? (sighs)
Discussing and dissecting how you went off the deep end.
Aw.
Well, you don't seem nuts to me.
Thanks, uh...
...Robert.
You're the second Robert I've met today.
Oh.
Okay, moving on to your scalp.
Okay.
You know, I know she's just trying to help, but...
we're kind of out of practice with the whole...
sharing and talking thing, and...
This isn't like, "I, you know,
borrowed your sweater and got salsa on it."
This...
this is serious.
I abused my power.
I've just been angry all the...
Yeah, I've been angry all the time, since...
Anyways... Now we're dealing with a real psycho,
and I'm acting like him, which is just
disgusting-- Ow!
Oh.
I'm so sorry about that.
Butterfingers.
(grunting)
Come on.
What are you doing?
Oh, Ms. Vera.
Uh, how can I help you?
Have you been enjoying yourself?
What is in the bag?
What bag? This bag? (chuckles)
There's nothing in this bag.
Oh, no, no, no.
Ah...
This isn't what it looks like.
Okay, fine, this is exactly what it looks like.
I just want you to have a five starfish experience.
You need to tell me what is going on right now.
You're gonna stay right here.
Great. I'm gonna get some matches
and then you're gone, okay?
(sighs)
Where are the extra ones?
Merrow's Spring. That's where Mel and Maggie are.
What? Who-who did you say?
So the rumors are true.
You're the new Charmed One?
Uh, I can't do this right now, dude.
You know, there are, like, theories out there about you.
Like you're some sort of Charmed One puppet meant
to keep them in power.
Some people say you're not even related.
I-I don't think that. You don't seem like one of them.
What the hell's that supposed to mean?
Uh...
That red light means that Mel or Maggie are in danger.
And I'm the only one who can help if I can figure out
how to get this damn thing working!
Okay. Let me.
(high-pitched whirring)
What the hell did you do?
(whooshing)
There's got to be a circuit box here somewhere.
DEV: Anything I can do?
Obviously not.
Only witches are supposed to touch the board,
not randos who can't take a hint.
Damn it. I had one job to do, and I blew it.
You need three pinches of henbane,
six teaspoons of red salt and a dash of mugwort.
It's a reconfiguration potion.
It fixes objects back to their original state.
It should help with the board.
And the conch, too.
You could have fixed the conch this whole time?
I was... kind of hoping to get to know you first.
To get to know me?
Okay, dude, I like having a good time,
but not at the expense of people who trust me.
Yeah, honestly...
I honestly didn't realize how dire the situation was.
What's wrong with you?
and the more we talked, the more things snowballed, and...
I'm sorry.
You said henbane?
Yeah.
(sighs)
Okay.
Listen, I'm still pissed at you, but I need your help,
so you're gonna come and help me.
I am so sorry. It's just, there's never been a death
at the spa before, so of course it happens on the day
the actual Charmed Ones are here. I guess I panicked, and...
Please shut up!
(sighs)
Maggie?
Please don't vanquish me!
What? No.
(exhales)
But first, I need to make sure that my sister's okay.
Oh, yes, of course. And I can help with that.
According to
the schedule, Maggie should be in the aromatherapy room.
And where is that?
third door to the left, but, uh, fair warning.
Our aromatherapy room is a little different.
It uses scents to bring people back to a needed happy memory.
So when you do enter,
you will be in Maggie's session, and
it may be... personal.
(scoffs)
Hello there.
(water gurgling)
(liquid gurgling)
Maggie?
(inhales)
What the hell?
Mel, where the hell are you?
I'm right here.
I think they're ready.
Wait. Are you the real you?
Or was the you that passed through me...?
I'm me.
Oh, thank God you're okay.
Wait.
Are you okay?
I was just watching us from four years ago,
you know, before all the witch stuff.
We were so busy, and we thought our problems were so big,
but we always found time to raid the fridge.
And make the most monstrous garbage nachos imaginable.
I'm pretty sure that's why I decided to go vegan.
Yeah.
I-I'm sorry for what I said earlier.
I don't want you to leave me alone.
But last night,
I lost control.
I hurt a man. I felt his nose break.
I mean, the sound he made was...
Now I have a court date in a week.
And I knew that telling you would mean I'd have to face it,
and I wasn't ready.
But I guess now I'm glad I'm telling you
because you can help me through it.
And I'm here to help with the whole Ruby situation.
But just promise me we'll share all the stuff,
not just the trauma.
I want to, like, do your hair and gossip
about stupid reality shows.
I just really want to be with my sister.
Yeah.
You know, I know it can't be exactly how it was, but...
...maybe it could be close.
Deal.
(chuckles)
(sniffles)
Hey, why'd you come back here?
Well, there's no easy way to say this, but...
there's been a murder.
What? Someone died,
and you didn't immediately say something?
Well, you were having a moment.
ARNOLD (distance): Step away from the fountain, and...
(indistinct shouting)
ARNOLD: Stay back! For your safety, please.
Donnie, get these people out of here.
Something's definitely not right.
Sure doesn't smell right.
What the hell...
...is going on?
Someone must have tainted the spring
because the bloom, our pride and joy,
looks and smells like a nightmare.
Oh, just when I thought things couldn't get any worse.

and... I broke the conch.
We'll talk about that later. Just get over here, stay down.
Okay.
(whimpers)
(panting)
What's going on?
Oh, you know, you try to relax for a day,
have a mai tai, get a foot massage, and then,
the Tallyman poisons a magical spring, and you're under attack
from a killer plant.
Tuesdays. Am I right?
(man groans, Kaela gasps)
MAGGIE: I got to get to those bath bombs.
If I can do a purification incantation over them,
lob them into the spring,
it might counteract the Tallyman's poison.
Though I might die in the process.
I have an idea.
Ugh.
I'm in the Tallyman's memory.
Come on. You can do it.
I... I can't.
Listen, this is our power.
We can stop any mechanical object, and it can't hurt us.
It defines you as a gremlin,
and there's no way
that my little brother doesn't have it.
Here. Watch me.

What the hell is this?
Your turn.
KAELA: I know what I have to do.
Great use of color and space, but how is this helping us?
Just wait for it.
