- Previously on "Spellbound..."
- You're, like, a mythical legend.
- You need to start training, like, now.
- I have to focus on staying at this school.
- Next audition will determine who is in and who is out.
- We have to protect her from whatever is after her.
- Sign says you're hiring.
- Neither of you are connected.
You might as well not be dancing at all.
- We need to fix this.
- Why wouldn't you use magic?
- When you need to be your best,
let the others fall to rest.
- What's happening?
- The spell's making them really sick.
- We have an emergency.
You will be dancing on the main stage.
I will make my selections based on tomorrow's performance.
[door opens]
- Fruit and here's lunch.
You'll need a good protein to carb ratio for today.
Just ignore the fact that I cut off the crusts.
I know you aren't eight.
- Oh, thanks.
- You look... - Nervous?
I am. I even spritzed with Calm Me Downtown.
- Good call. I love that blend.
But I was gonna say beautiful.
- I don't want to embarrass myself.
- Mm, no. Me either.
I try to avoid that at all costs.
- You don't understand.
I'm already at a disadvantage because I have
different training, but also, I can't rehearse in the morning
because I don't live at the school.
- [mimics rewind sound] Don't let that be your story.
- What do you mean?
- You go out there today
and you dance to the best of your ability.
And you commit to it being better than yesterday.
That is how you rise to the top.
- Yeah, but... - I know.
You have to work harder.
The rules in ballet weren't written for us,
so you have to work harder than everyone else.
You have to show them.
You have to bring everything to the table.
- Yeah, I know.
And if I could get extra studio time...
- You bring your Black girl magic.
Your extra sparkle. - Yeah, okay.
- Go get them, Cece Parker Jones.
Cece Parker Jones, what, what?
Cece Parker Jones.
- I will. Yes. - Yeah.
- Thank you. Oh.
You didn't see that. [doorbell rings]
Oh, hi. Coming through. - Hello.
Big performance tonight.
- Hey, Ginger. Reporting for duty.
[door closes] - Who are you?
- I'm Adrian. You hired me the other day.
- I did?
Huh.
I guess I did.
Well, you can start by sweeping the shop.
- Mm. - And then
you can unpack these boxes.
I'll go get the broom.
[door opens and closes]
- Hey, little bro, you there?
- Yeah, I'm here.
- You alone? - For a minute. Yeah.
- Don't be nervous. Shake it off.
You'll be fine.
Look, I get it.
I was trained by mystic hunters.
I worked in the field. You only ever had books.
But you need to trust me.
I'm running this now.
- Thanks for constantly reminding me.
I just passed her,
but there was no time to search for the location.
- [laughs] Oh, boy.
You're gonna need to get out of your book talk.
But sure, if you make a move at the wrong time
you'll start an epic battle and
if we lose, we might never find her again.
So we don't lose. Got it?
- But she's never alone.
She's either at school or with her aunt.
And tonight, she has this big performance.
- That's perfect.
No one will be able to single you out.
Blend in, drain her, then get out of there. Got it?
I'll be watching, little brother.
- [humming] Ah.
- ♪♪ Catch me if you can ♪♪
♪♪ If you are my biggest fan ♪♪
♪♪ You'll follow me all the way to La La Land ♪♪
♪♪ Catch me if you can ♪♪
♪♪ You can reach out for my hand ♪♪
♪♪ And if your love is true ♪♪
♪♪ Maybe I'll still be in love with you ♪♪
- T minus nine minutes and counting.
You and your cards.
I know you're trying to get into my head,
but it won't work.
This performance tonight is everything
and I'm going to kill it.
- I don't believe in sabotage.
- Yeah, right.
- What's with the paper sched?
- I'll have you know that I prefer to have a hard copy
of my schedule because A, digital copies
aren't reliable and B, makes me feel better to hold it.
If we don't crush it out there tonight,
we're finished at this school. That I know for sure.
- Want to hear what the cards have to say?
- Yeah, if I believe some stupid tarot cards.
But if you insist.
I guess I could spare a few minutes.
[phone ringing]
- Go for Benny's phone.
Ah, bonjour Madame Ducasse.
Ce va?
So are you coming tonight?
- Give me my phone back.
- What do you mean your son didn't tell you about tonight?
It's only the biggest night ever.
- Give it now.
- I'm Finn Cassidy. You're host of a Jeté Minute.
And I'll be here regularly to
give you updates on the latest hot gos.
It's a real dance for your life situation.
Our entire future rides on tonight's performance.
So no press.
A real rivalry there.
Benoit lets the stress get to him, that's for sure.
And Jack can't control himself
and Benoit's gonna shove his phone up his...
- Ask. Just ask. It's your mother.
- Please... [groans]
- [laughs]
You bet you're invited.
- [mouths words] - I don't know where he is,
but I'll have him call you.
See you later.
- Those two are either gonna elevate or destroy each other.
And that's just facts.
Yikes. This Simone may take Mia out of the running.
Although you didn't hear it.
- [gasps] A tower is going to fall on me?
- Not necessarily a tower.
Ooh, Four of Cups. - What does that even mean?
- Rejection maybe. - Rejection?
As in rejection from the school.
Oh, no. Not on my watch.
- Wait. This is a good one. Now, it all makes sense.
[upbeat music]
♪♪ ♪♪
- Quiet please. Quiet please.
Now, listen up and listen good.
The choreographer is also very ill,
so I will also do my best to execute her vision,
but we have very little time.
So we're gonna go from first positions from the top.
Quickly now.
Come on, do not dillydally please.
Good. Now, ready and breathe.
And five, six, seven, and eight.
And...
And no rogue arm movements, Cece, please.
Good boys. I like that turn. Keep that energy up.
Nice coming together.
No embellishing, Cece, please.
Good.
No, Cece, stop. Off to the side.
You'll skip this section and come in at the end.
Quickly please.
The rest of you, let's go again
with that same energy.
It was very nice. And...
lift, good.
Better. That's nice. - Psst.
- Working as a group.
- [mouths words]
- How many times do I need to tell you to leave me alone?
You're not allowed to be in here.
- Are you okay?
That was brutal.
- I'm fine. - [stomach gurgles]
- So you used the magic, huh?
Lola got sick from your spell and now, look at her.
She's like all those dancers.
I did the absorber spell, so I'm tied to you.
Emotionally and physically.
Little wizen tracking technique just for now.
- Okay, I was desperate
and I had no idea it was gonna go rogue like that.
It was meant for the girls in my class.
I thought it would make them tired not sick.
Like you said, it's competitive.
My entire future at this school is riding
on what happens tonight. That's all I care about.
- But we need you. - Two choices.
I scream and you're escorted out.
Or you walk out yourself.
Either way I want you to leave me along.
- Cece, now is when you enter
unless you have something better to do.
- Oh, no. Sorry, Mr. Castillo.
Go away.
- [stomach gurgles]
[upbeat music]
♪♪ ♪♪
- Next on a Jeté Minute...
the tension is at an all-time high.
Who will rise to the top? Who will be crushed?
Will Mia reign queen of the thirds
or will Simone sweep in and knock her out?
It was a devasting blow to be pulled from the second section.
I mean, I really like her
and I like her free flow style,
but bottom line,
is it enough?
- Okay, whatever happens
I just want to say that I'm so glad to have met you.
Like for real.
I feel like I've known you all my life
and it's only bee four days. - Same.
And listen, you're going to do great.
Don't worry about being cut from that section.
It's really technical.
- He was so annoyed with me. - He's just stressed.
- I just want this so much.
- I know.
- You ready, bro?
- Let's do this.
- The theater is packed.
We're nervous, sweaty,
and I hear a rumor
that Jack's dad and Benoit's mom are sitting together.
[chuckles] Love is in the air.
Two rivals, two parents sharing a program.
Scandalous.
- This is all your fault. - This is not happening.
- Something's gonna fall. The card said so.
I can't go on that stage.
The lighting grid's unsafe.
How well is the lighting grid secure?
Are the building permits updated?
That spot looks sketchy. - [chuckles]
Come on. It's just nerves.
I got you, okay?
- We need to go.
- What are you doing?
- She's freaking out.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Sorry. Ow!
Breathe. It's gonna be okay.
I got a spell for you. It's a short one.
Just a temporary boost, but it'll make you dance
like a superstar. - Okay, just this once.
Do it.
- This is what you have to say, okay?
Throw caution to the west, fight to be the best...
- Be honest and frank or you'll surely tank.
[applause]
- Thank you. I have to go.
- You gave her the wrong spell.
She's not being honest and frank.
She's using a spell and it's the wrong one,
so now she's gonna tank.
What did you do?
- I did what I had to do.
- [sighs]
Lola.

- All she had to do was cast it.
What's going on?
Add a dash of lemon to sour the pot.
- [groans]
- You didn't. This is horrible.
You are horrible.
She's gonna be so humiliated.
- I didn't have a choice.
She has to tank otherwise she'll choose dance over magic.
- I can't watch.
And for the record, I don't agree.
She could do both.
- It'll be quick. The tank spell doesn't last long.
- Something's wrong. - What? What's wrong?
- Don't know.
- I can't sit here and watch her fail.
I'm giving her a boost.
- I think we might have company.
It feels like magic.
- It's for the good of all wizens.
- There are other wizens here. They're doing something
with Cece, but I'm too far away to see what.
What should I do? - I bet they're protecting her.
You're gonna have to take them out.
- What? [sparkle sound]
- My wizen sense is tingling.
I think someone else is using magic here.
- Are they after Cece? - I don't know.
- A little of this for dancing bliss.
♪♪ ♪♪
Go, Cece.
- They're messing with her dancing.
- Don't take any chances. Drain them.
We don't have time for this.

[cheers and applause]
You idiot. You blew it.
Get out of there. We can't be exposed.
[groans] Can't believe
I'm still stuck here.
- I can't move.
What happened?
- I think someone drained our magic.
- Wow, I said you were better than you thought,
but that was, like, better than me.
- Thank you. - You were amazing.
[laughs]
- That was sublime. Bravo.
- You are a whole vibe.
- No, I'm not. - What's wrong?
- It wasn't me. I cast a spell.
- What? - Bravo, everyone.
Bravo. I am very, very proud,
which makes this even more difficult.
This program demands excellence
and tonight, you all proved worthy of a spot.
I wish you could all stay with us at the Paris Opera
Ballet School, however my selections are...
you two.
You two.
Yes, please.
Over there.
Now, I have taken everything into consideration
not just this evening's performance.
- Yes.
- This was not an easy decision to make.
- Oh, what are we gonna do?
- I don't know, but this is a disaster.
Whatever drained our magic is after Cece.
We need to protect her.
- The absorber spell's broken,
so I can't even tell if she's safe,
sad, or anything.
[groans]
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
- Yeah! Wee! Whoo!
Hang on, we need a photo. - Okay.
- Say hello to the new third division
or the Paris Opera Ballet School.
[cheering] [camera clicks]
- I told you, you'd make it.
So want to go grab something to eat?
- Yes, I'd be delighted.
- Hey, do you know where Cece is?
- Don't know, don't care.
- Who wants to celebrate? [cheering]
- I didn't think it was a date.
- Totally and honestly, you look so fire right now.
It's his loss.
And see? Nothing fell on your head.
[bird coos]
- Gross.
- Well, the cards don't lie.
- Has this day finished with ruining my life yet?
- [laughs] - [groans]
[thunder rumbles]
- This storm isn't natural.
It feels like magic.
- Now, I have taken everything into consideration,
not just this evening's performance.
It's not an easy decision to make.
- I told you, her emotions are so strong
that she's the one causing the storm.
- The last two to join the third division is
Cece Parker Jones.
- It was down the wire,
but Cece pulled out a rocky, but admirable performance.
Those final pirouettes were astounding.
I was spellbound.
- He was "spellbound". How perfect.
This is all your fault. I wish I never met you.
- But you got in.
- I used magic to dance, not me
and that's why I got in. - You're wrong.
Magic didn't teach you to dance.
You did that.
That spell was a boost.
Not a miracle.
Plus...
when you dance with your emotions,
it's like magic.
- That's what Miss Arlene says.
- Hey, you're a great dancer.
If you don't want to waste your time
on this wizen stuff then don't.
You should just focus on dance.
- Are you sure?
- It's okay.
