KEVIN: Previously on Spellbound...
- These are all Wizen books.
Old, ancient texts.
- When you drain them, you are full of their essence.
I told you, it gives you access to their magic too.
- Now, as artists, our nuances and moods affect each other.
So it is very important who you choose as your partner.
The girls will select the pairs this assignment.
One more thing.
This is 40% of your term grade.
- We're a pair.
We talked about it all night long, didn't we?
We really might be a dance match made in heaven.

I've done a ton of research, and of the top five
ballet companies in the world,
none are showcasing two female romantic interests
in performances by the principal dancers.
- The music will be pure romance and tragedy,
acoustic guitar,
and the costumes would be inspired
by the New Romantics.
- Well, I love the idea.
Yes.
- Our take is exciting, original--
wait, did you say yes?
- Yes, I did, but girls, remember,
this is a pairs assignment with a lift.
And I expect a lift from everyone.
And lifts can mean the difference between
life in the Corps and life is an Etoile.
- Etoile!
We both most definitely want
to be Etoiles one day.
Right, Simone?
- Well...
Cece, you'll be lifting.
Simone, you'll be flying.
Good luck.

Let's do this.

[whooshing, chiming]
- Listen to this.
We can siphon tiny amounts of Wizen energy,
or Wizessence, without them even knowing,
and collect it in glass vials
to use whenever I need it.
It's totally different than draining them.
They'll have no idea anything's missing.
We only need three seconds of skin-to-skin contact,
and it travels from their body to mine
via the point of contact,
where I can channel it into the vials.
KEVIN: Okay.
Yeah, that's good.
- If we take Wizen essence, we can override
their telepathy block and access their thoughts.
We'll know everything, Kev.
KEVIN: Like their plans for Cece?
Yes.
Move on this fast.
- And they have monthly meetings.
It's in all caps on Ginger's calendar.
Only women allowed, closed to the public.
Sounds like a Wizen circle to me.
- How are you gonna get invited to a Wizen circle?
- Leave that to me.

I won chin-up contests in the playground
against all the girls and the boys.
