Okay, no one can know about this.
Of course Sawyer finished off most of the bottle.
In his defense, there was hardly any left.
Why do you think I signed us up for science club?
I don't know. You hate sleep?
If we're going to stop those witches,
we'll need as much hiding potion as we can get.
Okay, then. Less chat, more action.
School starts in half an hour.
Lucy, are you sure you got all the right ingredients?
You really found newt hair?
Newt hair, dog hair. Is it really that different?
Yes.
Okay.
What's next?
Stepswirl the potion and say the words, "Setus Mofis in Venificiis."
-Setus mofis in… what?
Venifici-us… Something like that.
-Venifmishermuffer.
-Nothing's happening.
-Whoa! Okay, um…
I-I think we should leave.
Ugh. What is it? Wreck-the-school day in science club?
I'll stick to student council, thank you.
What is happening?
What did you weirdos do to me?
I look like a walking meatloaf with owl eyes!
This is not good.
-Mm, neither is that.
-Oh, no. -Oh my…
Goodness.
Return the form that she came from!
Did you just hex me?
Why isn't she turning back?
Maybe because we don't really know what we're doing.
Turn me back. Turn me back. Turn me back right now!
Hey! Oh…
Whoa.
Okay, I am pretty sure
that using the science lab to create potions is against school rules,
but I have to admit, turning kids into cats, that's totally increds.
By "increds" you had better mean terrifying.
We've tried everything we usually do to turn them back, but nothing's working.
Alright. Okay.
The Witch Encyclopedia.
Alright. Potions, potions…
Did you say potions?
Did you use every ingredient on your list?
Um…
Yeah, pretty much.
When making potions,
directions must be followed exactly,
or the spell won't work.
Essentially, you've created your own unknown, very different potion.
I'd say that's an accurate assessment.
Is there a spell reversal potion?
I couldn't find one. Want to look?
Oh, this is gorgeous.
Wow. Oh my goodness.
Oh my gosh, there is an invisibility potion.
-I always thought that was a myth. Wow. -Ms. Juniper?
-Focus. -Right. Okay, sorry.
Reversal, reversal, reversal.
Oh, here we go. Yeah, this should work.
Should?! Should work?!
Have you seen me?!
Okay. We'll attempt a new magic potion while you catsit?
-You better hurry, Willa Ward! -Okay, bye!
Uh… Well, I-I-I'm available for other…
Other jobs, more fun jobs, witchy jobs.
Huh. Pew!
Urgh.
"Dear Willa. Join us for tea and treats after school."
"P.S. We live in the old house at the top of the hill."
Okay. We can do this, right?
I hope so. Getting expelled is not on my bucket list.
What 12-year-old has a bucket list?
A playlist? Yes. But a bucket list? No.
Two teaspoons of dried pine cone.
Okay, now swirl the amulet counterclockwise.
"Reverso reversus"
"Reverse the spell Mistakenly put upon thus"
Isn't that clockwise?
-Whoa.
I think it's working anyway.
Wouldn't it be cool if we accidentally made the world's most delicious cupcake.
Sorry. Focus. Got it.
Yeah.
Okay, ready?
-Principal McKay!
Willa Ward is using the science club to create really weird potions
and very weird things are happening.
Unauthorized science experiments are strictly prohibited in this school.
This is very much unauthorized.
She's messing around in the science room with this super weird amulet.
-Excuse me, Wyatt.
Yes!
-Oh, thank goodness. -Okay.
We're super sorry for that weird slip-up, but we are here to fix you.
-Dropper? -Dropper.
-Dropper.
Thank you.
Stay away from me.
I'm not drinking any glowing purple sludge smoothie. Urgh!
-Whoa!
Amazing and mystical, but probably not good.
Uh…
Okay. Girls, to your desks. Act normal. I'll handle the cats.
Okay.
-Let's do this. You first.
You stay quiet, you understand me? Gosh, you're cute.
-You, too. Let's go. -Put me down!
And go buy me some intensive wrinkle cream!
Whew!
Good morning, students!
Welcome to a normal, everything-is-perfectly-normal day!
As student president, I stand against locking student-cats in the closet!
I, for one, am reporting this to Principal McKay immediately!
Yep, perfectly normal.
-What?
Willa, we are officially in I-need-to-call-your-dad territory now
with all of this magic business. It's getting a little out of control.
Though it is amazing.
Seems like we've created our first legit potion. That's, that's a first.
You call this legit?
In a I-can-see-right-up-your-nose kinda way!
What are we gonna do?
Good thing it's not spreading. The floor is still the floor out here.
-Come on.
…get to the bottom of this.
Ms. Juniper, is Willa Ward--
What just happened?
Well this is fun, guys. Right?
I'm upside down. I'm stuck upside down.
This is against the laws of physics. Willa Ward?
Well, my sweet sister, we are officially running out of time.
Hopefully Wyatt will come through with a surprise for us today,
but uh, if not, we need a plan W.
You know what I'm saying?
Seeking answers we so need Give us them, we'll repay the deed
Wilma, please, get with it. The cauldron, it doesn't have the answer.
Stop being so old-school. Don't stereotype us as witches, you know what I mean?
Seeking answers we so need Give us them, we'll repay the deed
-Aha! See?
It's working. A vision. A vision of…
Normal Neil?
That's not what I was expecting.
I knew the cauldron was going to have the answer.
-But, you just-- -Look.
He's right here on our front porch.
The dark forces have delivered him right to us.
Door.
My triceps are killing me.
-Principal McKay.
Blaine?
Yes, it's me, Blaine,
student council president and all around winning student.
I am here to inform you of infractions against
Winding Way Middle School's code of conduct.
Willa Ward is a mad scientist! She was in a lab and turned us into cats.
Willa Ward.
Okay, you can do this.
I hope you have a good lawyer.
Uh, anybody home?
-Hello?
Well, well, well. If it isn't the infamous Normal Neil.
-How do you know my name?
-And what do you want with my daughter? -Why don't you sit down?
Join us for a spot of tea.
Uh, no thank you.
We insist.
I'm fine, actually.
When we insist you take a seat You can fight but you'll be beat
How did you…
I saw you two on Shark Tank.
The self-seating chairs.
Okay, no mistakes this time. Do exactly as it says.
No, Willa! Counterclockwise.
-What on Earth is going on here? -Uh, nothing.
Willa Ward, you put me right side up this minute!
Looks like something from the upside down cla--
Hi, Principal McKay. Y-Y-You look great.
-Yeah. -New shoes?
-Yeah, it's the shoes. -Yeah.
I have no choice but to confiscate that amulet
and whatever experiment you're conducting here.
I can't give you this. It's--
My office, right now. Let's go.
This is remarkably difficult.
Hey, look, if it means that much to you for me to try your tea, I'll try your tea.
-I'll drink a big ol' mug of it. -No, you lamebrain.
Ha! Yeah, lamebrain.
You gave our amulet to Willa, and now we want it back.
-Ha!
Uh, that's me.
Pocket right there.
Yeah, that's my daughter's school. I have to take this.
Um, green button.
Normal Nei--
-Neil speaking. -Mr. Ward.
Your daughter Willa is in big trouble.
I've taken away her strange amulet, and I will be securing it in our safe,
and I need you to get down here right away.
-Goodbye.
Opportunity knocks.
Willa needs me. I'm going to have to raincheck whatever this is.
Right in there. Yeah.
Can you close the flap?
You do get that we are witches, right?
It's a thing, you know.
Look, my kid needs me, and I'm all she's got.
I promised my wife that if anything ever happened to her,
I would take good care of Willa forever, and I keep my promises.
So, you can either get out of my way, or I will get you out of it.
-Ooh…
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
-Oh, boy! -Oh! Oh, did you slip?
Someone have a boo-boo?
Sit tight, Boring Neil.
-Wilma, get the brooms. -Got it.
We're gonna head to the school and get what is rightfully ours,
once and for all.
Bye.
-Should have stayed out of it, Neil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm a rat, I can talk. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Okay, look, you give me a ride to the school, and I'll get you out of here.
-You-- -Deal?
What? Why?
Look, either they get Willa first, or we do.
-What's it gonna be?
Hello.
Hey, thanks for letting Fink hitch a lift.
And thank you for getting me out of there. I'm going to go find out what's happening,
and hopefully never speak to a talking rat again.
Do you really think we should be sneaking out of the principal's office?
Oh, no. My dad's here.
-Eek! -Mr. Ward.
Good, you're here.
Willa is in my office.
Uh, I can't tell if you're red in the face with anger
or it's just that all of the blood has rushed into it.
Give me a sec. It's been a day.
Well, listen.
I'm sure whatever Willa has done, she had very good reason for doing it.
Oh, you're in so much trouble.
Follow me.
Oh, amulet. Where are you? Come out, come out.
The witches!
-Aunties!
Oh, you have redeemed yourself, big time!
Hey, that's mine!
Oops. Run!
-First, we'll get the girls.
We'll be back for the amulet soon!
They're coming! What do we do?
I don't know. Maybe the witch book knows.
-Wait a minute.
The Fixer Elixir!
"Problems shall all disappear If one can dance like no one’s near"
"Fix all the binds And erase all minds"
"For emergency use only."
If this isn't an emergency, I don't know what is!
-Quick!
-How do we know what it does? -I don't know, but I'm willing to risk it.
Okay, here goes nothing.
-Huh? -What is happening?
Oh. Mm.
-What? What is happening? -What is happening?
What are you doing? Stop that.
I can't stop. I gotta groove.
Everybody get back. It's contagious!
Cats, classrooms, and now crazy dancing!
Now this is what school should be.
Mr. Ward, thank goodness you are here. We should talk.
Sure, Ms. Juniper. Just as soon as this beat lets go of its hold on me!
No!
Lucy!
Scout, catch!
Huh?
Feel the beat!
I got it! Oh, I got the amulet.
Where is it?
Oh, no, no, no.
I’ve made such a mess of everything, and now I’ve lost the amulet, too.
Psst. Hey, Willa. Over here.
Looking for this?
You should really keep a tighter grip on this thing.
I thought you wanted to steal it.
I promised I'd keep it safe, and it's time I kept my promises.
I, uh, I see you used the Fixer Elixir.
Yeah.
How did you know?
We don't have much time. The witches aren't going to stop chasing you.
W-W-Why are you helping me?
Look in the back of your mom's secret armoire,
and you'll find the help you need.
I can't even remember why we came to the school today.
Okay, this is pure torture. We have to get out of here.
Nothing is worth this!
Ooh! I gotta get out of here.
It worked.
I think it'll be best if we just, uh…
see ourselves out.
Yeah.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
I’m still a bit confused, like today’s just been erased.
Zapped! Poof! Like magic, or something.
Uh, maybe you’ve been meditating a little too much.
You erased all your thoughts.
Meditating? I om-ed them away?
Well, a calm mind is a happy one, I guess.
-Night, Willa. -Night, Dad.
Whoa.
