CECE: Previously on Spellbound...
ADRIAN: I need to figure out where I'm gonna find
enough Wizens in the same place at the same time
and cast it without them knowing.
Cece wrote her intention.
She's crafted the perfect Wizen circle.
If they're going to perform this,
I can use it to build your escape.
- Lizzie's always been so intuitive.
She knows.
- Back in the day, Shakespeare was at
some old-timey open mic night
and stole this woman's entire set.
- When he stole her act, she cursed the play.
- The person that cast this curse,
are they a Wizen? - We're not sure.
- Does this mean what I think it does?
- She wasn't just a travelling nomad.
She was a Wizen! - [giggles]
JULIET: With the pricking of my thumbs,
something wicked this way comes.
[gasps]
[chuckling]
[echoing] Little Wizen,
don't be afraid.
You won't remember beyond today!
[cackling]

- Cece, you better get moving.
It's half an hour to warm-up.

How did I get here?
Where's Amy?
- Come on, get up, sleepyhead.
Today's the day. [door opens]
- What day?
Performance day?
SIMONE: Um, yeah.
- No.
I was just at that creepy theater.
- Did you just have a stress dream?
- Oh, please. She's just trying
to throw us off our game.
But it's not happening.
Not today.
[magical warbling]
- Hey.
BOTH: Hey. AMY: Well?
- Did you guys find anything good?
- Other than delicious croissants, nothing.
You? - No, nothing.
- Seriously, my future at this school
rides on this show.
I should be spending my time rehearsing,
not running around trying to solve this.
I'm done.
- She's not wrong.
Come on, let's bounce.
We have rehearsal.
[tense music]
[magical jingling]
CECE: This is really weird.
- I'm telling you, I just got off the phone with her,
and she's the worst.
- If she's that bad,
why are you video-chatting her every day?
- Hello? Because I saw her in that fountain.
I need to see her face every single day
to make sure I know she's still clueless.
- She can't be that bad.
- Trust me when I tell you,
my sister is a monster.
- Grr! [laughter]
- That's true.

LIZZIE: You seemed so intense this morning,

And it is, isn't it?
An emergency?

Ladies and gents, I'd like you to meet Finn.
ADRIAN: [chuckles] That's a good one.
I was, uh, dropping off
some good-luck gift baskets from W,
a gift from Cece's aunt Ginger.
- Oh, that's--that's so sweet.
So sorry for running you down. ADRIAN: Nah, that's fine.

- So that was pretty sweet, what Jack did for Mia, right?
I mean, he got her
her favorite crisps from Ireland.
Who doesn't love crisps?
- Totally super sweet. - I know.
I can't think of it too much today, though,
because it causes too much inner turmoil,
but I can schedule a debrief tomorrow,
say, around 3:00 p.m.-ish? - Not a chance.
I'm only using this friendly voice
to try and keep Cece calm.
But she didn't hear a word you said earlier,
so pencil her in.
You can tell her the whole story again.
- Done. Warmup in T-minus 22 minutes.
- [sighs]
Come on.
ADRIAN: Okay, walk through it with me.
I've got the Wizessence,
which gives me access to the Wizen magic.
I've memorized the counter spell to banish
that I found in the book of Jones.
I have all the ingredients.
- Should we practice it?
- No. KEVIN: Come on.
It would be my joy to see you acting like a Wizen.
[chuckles] ADRIAN: Thanks to Cece
and the Paris Opera Ballet School,
there'll be a Wizen circle right on stage.
[chuckles] I snuck into their dress rehearsal,
so I know the exact moment
that she'll be in the center of the circle.
- Wait, dancers?
- I took over this pedestrian, Finn.
He's making sure every one of Cece's classmates
uses their W roll-ons before going onto stage.
[chuckles]
There's enough Wizessence in there
to turn the whole third division
into good, little Wizens.
- [chuckling] Oh, I get it.
You're forming a coven on stage with Cece.
Okay, I didn't see that coming. That's awesome!
- Right?
The pedestrian puppet will make sure
everything goes smoothly.
- I can't believe I didn't think of it.
It's brilliant!

You really shouldn't have.

I'm already warmed up.
Can I run those flowers down to the dressing room?

- I do. I trust.
I'm not using magic, I'm clearing my energy.
I keep feeling weird.
I have to make sure the curse stays very far away.
But something feels off,
and my Wizen instinct says it's bad.
- It's not. I promise.
I read our cards, and it's victories all around.
Just think about how great our lives are.
A year, we didn't even know each other.
And now we're best friends
about to dance on the stage together.
- You're totally right. I need to stop freaking out.
- It's just nerves.
- Might be nerves.
But what if it's the whole Macbeth thing?
[thunder rumbling]
- Like I said,
you can hold me responsible for some of this,
but the whole "bring her to Paris"
was not your best idea.
- Well, what was I supposed to do?
- Uh, I don't know. Tell her? Train her yourself.
- I had no choice.
- Oh, you had lots of choices.
Like who you fell in love with.
- I will not discuss this with you.
- Seems like we are, though.
The same argument we've been having
for, I don't know, 15 years?
- Let's stay on task.
The Scottish play was never supposed to be
performed by a Wizen.
- Well, it's not like I can control
the Paris Opera Ballet School syllabus.
- Can you control your sarcasm, though? It's getting old.
- Oh, no. Can't seem to. Sorry.
It just rolls out of me like magic.
- I have to call in the Paris chapter.
The spell itself is over 400 years old.
It's gonna take a whole lot of Wizen power to counter.
- Call them up.
Make sure you let them know it's you, though.
I am just an innocent bystander.
- Will you stop this?
My daughter's about to dance a curse,
and you're gonna have to take charge!
- [scoffs]
Excuse me. I'm what?
- Going to have to take charge.
- [shudders] One more time?
- Charge.
- Oh, why is that?
- Because I'm neutral on curses.
- One more time, louder.
- Neutral! On curses.
- Oh! I'm better at them than you.
Got it!
- The monster is bad at curses.
What a paradox.
- Finally! [gasps]

- What took you so long?
Do you have any idea
how long I was waiting for you or someone,

- Are you who I think you are?
- I'm Juliet! [words echoing]
And before I got stuck in this hole,
I was a nomadic Wizen.
I traveled from village to village
with my caravan of magical tricks.
I had a really good act.
I was quite the performer, if I do say so myself.
[chuckles] I had a great life.
[laughing] I was so happy!
[sniffles]
But then he stole my livelihood.
He took everything from me, word for word,
the whole story...
so I cursed his play.
I should have let well enough alone,
but oh, no.
I had to listen to my stupid ego.
I went to opening night
just so that I could laugh in his face,
but I fell prey to my own curse.
I've tried haunting theaters, scaring off actors, but oh, no.
Those thespians, always with "the show must go on " crap.
You know, I never want to hear or see Macbeth again!
- Just to be clear, you're talking about--
- William "Wordsmith" Shakespeare.
And let me just say for the record,
in real life, he's a bit of a jerk.
I have been trapped in this curse
for 400 years! [words echoing]
But you, my little Wizen,
are going to set me free.

Every single time it's performed!
I can't take it anymore!
How many times can one man ruin himself, am I right?
But...
you can break the curse and set me free!

It must be done on stage while performing.

Actors can't cast a spell
'cause, you know, they're actors, not Wizens.
