01x06 - Just Add Birthdays

[bunniefuu]

Previously on
"Just Add Magic"...

Jake: I will look for
that cookbook.

This cookbook is
at least years old.

Mama P has all the
magical ingredients.

She wanted me to
give you these cocoa nibs.

Mama P
clearly knows something
she's not telling us.

I got my bracelet back.

And you know
what that means.

This was a
great birthday, Grandma.

Well,
it's not over yet.

You still have
one more present to open.

- Oh, I do?
- Mm-hm.

You didn't have to
get me anything else.

I know.
But I'm your grandma.

And it's my job
to spoil you.

[gasping]

Grandma.
Are you all right?

Yes. Everything's
just fine.

♪♪

This is crazy.

Slash creepy.

We figured out that
the book is at least
years old.

years old?

Man. Think of all the people
who must have had it

before your grandma.

And all the germs
they left behind. Ugh.

Hey, guys.
Sorry I'm late.

My mom wanted to
take me to brunch,

and I never say no
to pancakes.

- Look what Jake
brought back.
- The book!

I still can't believe
Mama P stole it.

I can.

Well, now that we
have it back,

we can spend the day
studying it.

So that's all
we're doing today?

No, I also have
a doctor's appointment.

Huh.

Funny Bone Baked Beans.

"The more you eat,
the more you laugh."

Let's do that.

Slow down.

The magic has
a mind of its own.

We only use it
when we absolutely
have to.

That's the idea,
anyway.

It's-- it's not a toy.

Yeah. We haven't cooked
any of the fun stuff yet.

But maybe since today
is a special day--

Totally.

I feel so much better

now that we have
the book back.

Jake, I really
owe you one.

Yeah, Mama P
could have fired you.

Fired me?
I'm quitting.

You can't quit.

Why? I'm not gonna work
for some evil woman.

Especially not for
minimum wage.

We need to keep cooking,

and to do that,
we kind of need--

The magic spices.

And me to find them.

So nice of you
to offer, Jake.

Hey, hon.

Got time for
a cup of coffee?

I wish, but we're
out of coffee.

Oh, right.
I knew I forgot something.

It's okay. I can go
after I drop Buddy off
at his math tutor.

We're also out of
toilet paper.

Well, who says
we don't lead a
glamorous life?

[chuckles]

Oh, I see you got
four down.

Wait. No, you didn't.

Have we really been
trying to finish this puzzle

since last month?

I know, it's sad,
isn't it?

Remember when we
used to, like,

lay around all day
and do nothing?

We were .
We played video games,

we watched movies,
we saw bands play.

- Yeah.
- You're right, though.

What happened?

[door slams]

[footsteps]

Wasn't me.

Okay, it was me.

Life.
Life happened.

"Forget Me Garlic Knots."

I could spend all day
looking at this.

All day?
[sighs]

[whispering]
What's with her?

So many recipes.

How do you choose?

Well, sometimes
the book chooses for us.

Kind of like that.

Okay, my mind is
totally blown.

Wait. Is it--

- Oh, no.
- Shh.

[whispering]
How could we forget
Darbie's birthday?

We're terrible friends.

That's okay.
There's still time.

We have to get Darbie
out of the house.

We can figure out...

something.

I got this.

Oh. I would love to
look for where Mama P

is hiding those
ingredients,

but she's just been
watching me like a hawk.

That stinks.

It'd be great if
someone could come in
and distract her

so I could look around,

and I'm leaving for
my shift right now,

so if anyone wanted to--

Me. I love spy movies.

And heist movies.
And movies in general.

But the point is,
I have skills.

Major espionage skills.

Um, perfect,
but ditch the hat.

We're going undercover
on this mission.

Ooh. Undercover.
I like that.

Bye.

[dog barking]

This is gonna be fun.

Which is all
I really wanted.

Don't say anything to
Kelly or Hannah,

but today's my birthday.

My lips are sealed.
Happy birthday.

Not so far, it isn't.

Kelly and Hannah forgot.
And I totally get it.

There's been
so much going on.

I feel ya.
It's hard to compete
with a magic cookbook.

Even before that,
there was homework,

and basketball
and more homework.

It's like we're
boring old people
already,

and we're only
in the th grade.

Wait 'til you
get to th.

th grade will
look like recess.

I wish we could
just have one day

to totally goof off.

Like my th birthday.

My dad threw me a party
at Kid Zone.

That was epic.

Why aren't you using
the electric mixer?

You know it's
more efficient.

Grandma said
they taste better

if you don't
over mix the dough.

Hand me the
chocolate chips.

- I think you're all out.
- We must have used them all

in the brownies
and cake batter.

Why do all of Darbie's
favorites have to
have chocolate?

Ooh. Here's some.

They look fancy.

Hurry. We still have to
put up the decorations.

Thank you.

[door bell jingles]

Look at her
smiling at Mr. Davies.

Pretending to be
all nice and friendly.

I'll bet that's
a magical muffin.

Jake, focus.

We need to find out
where she hides the
ingredients.

Oops! Sorry.

[chuckles]
Accidents happen, Darbie.

[clears throat]
I'll go make you another.

Jake, would you mind
cleaning this up?

You're supposed to
distract Mama P.

Not make more work
for me.

I know, I know.
Watch this.

Um, Mama P.

Instead of a hot cocoa,
could I have a--

a smoothie.
Yeah, that's it.

What kind of smoothie?

A banana smoothie.
With blueberries.
And strawberries.

Ooh, and maybe a scoop
of peanut butter.

- Or is almond butter better?
- Man: [clears throat]

- Oh, and I--
- I'll be right with you,
Albert.

Jake, can you make
Darbie's smoothie?

Sorry.

- [gasps]
- Sorry.

Great work, girls.

Darbie won't know
what hit her.

To a job well done.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

[loud crunching]

Oh. It's kind of, uh--

What's that aftertaste?

It's interesting.

It's terrible.

- I'm gonna throw these out.
- Yeah.

Wow. That's a shame.

It's not like you
baked her anything else.

[chuckles]
Uhh.

[cell phone dings]

[slurping]

I did not know almond butter
could do that to a blender.

It's okay. I'll have it
up and running in no time.

Why don't you
head back to Kelly's.

I'm sorry I made
your job harder.

But I really think I can
distract her this time.

It's not that.
It's your birthday.

Whether they
remembered or not,

you should be with
your friends.

Do you want me to
help you clean this up
before I go?

I got it.

Hello?

Guys.

Both: Surprise!
Happy birthday.

- You remembered.
- Of course we did.

You didn't think
we forgot.

Did you?

[giggling]

You guys.

I just love
seeing my name
in frosting.

- Go for it.
- For what?

You know what.

[giggling]

[blowing]

[grunting]

Your feet are burning.

What?

The floor is lava.
Head to higher ground.

Right. We haven't
played the lava game
since we were six.

[grunting]

We're not playing.

We gotta get out of here
before we melt.

Wait.
Where are you going?

It's a surprise.

Hurry.

Lava!

♪♪

[screaming]

[laughing]

We have to make it
through the secret passage.

The dragons are
gaining on us!

We need to make it
to Unicorn Valley.

If I don't make it,

please look after
Mr. Snuffles.

[groans] Ooh!

Whoa! Yeah!

[screams]

[video game noises]

- Yeah.
- Ahhh!

[gasps] Dude!

That was my last life.

Oh, perfect timing.

Oh, sweet.
New crossword.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Aren't you guys going to
take me to Math Is Fun?

Uh, blow it off today.

Cool. But why?

Your mom and I
are hangin' out.

So, then
what should I do?

Uh, I'd k*ll for a latte.

- Ohh.
- Can you do
a coffee run?

I'm nine.

♪♪

They'll never find us here.

If they do,
we'll eat them.

'Cause we're
sea monsters.

Guys. I don't
feel too good.

Quick, let's get her
out of here!

- [grunting]
- Come on.

[grunting]

Hannah, get up,
get up, get up,
get up.

[horns blowing]

Why has it been
almost six years
since we've been here?

This place is the best.

Look what I got
for my apple slices.

Can I have some?

Please?

Today was so much fun.

In fact, I'm gonna
go out on a limb here
and say...

Best. Birthday. Ever!

[horns blowing]

[giggling]

Gazebo.

- Yeah! Oh--
- Yeah.

No biggie.

You know, you guys

Why'd the band ever

Lame.

Mom, we gotta get
to soccer practice
or I'll be late.

But the zombies
are about to att*ck.

Take the day off.

What's wrong with you guys?

Um, nothing.

Come on, sit down
and watch with us.

Yeah, it's really good.
"The Zombie m*ssacre."

Tons of gore.

It's no fun
if you let me watch.

[zombies growling]

Okay.

[screaming]

- [screams]
- Oh, my--

- Eww.
- Yeah.

[door bell jingles]

Ooh, somebody's
jumpy today.

[chuckles] Sorry,
I'm just, uh,

in the zone.

I've been meaning
to ask you,

have you seen my book?

Book?

Uh, what book?

My address book.

See, jumpy.

Um, yeah, maybe I need to
cut back on the caffeine.

I'm gonna go
sweep out the back.

I'll keep an eye out
for your book.

Mama P: Jake!

- Whoa.
- You forgot something.

For the dust bunnies.

Oh, uh-- Yeah.
Of course.

[cawing]

Becky.

[sighs]
What are you doing
in my garden?

These can't help you.

Oh, Becky.

We both know some things
can't be undone.

[cawing]

That was awesome.

Man, some of those
six year olds are
so immature.

Darbie,
get off the couch.
It's gonna eat you.

What? It's okay.
I'm done with kids stuff
for today.

No way, it's still
your birthday.

Let's...

Both: build a fort!

Um, guys.
What's going on?

You never want to do
anything silly,

and suddenly it's like
you don't want to stop.

It's like you're
under a--

Oh, no.

Did you make any recipes
from the cookbook?

Nope. Now grab
some pillows.

Uh-uh. Playtime's over.

You two need to
walk me through

exactly what you did
when you were cooking.

- Okay?
- Both: Ooh, brownies.

No more sugar.

Why?

Because I think
you're both under a spell.

- Why?
- Because you're not
acting normal.

- Both: Why?
- Because you ate
something magical.

- Both: Why?
- That's what I'm
trying to figure out.

[laughing]

So, you made a cake
and brownies and--

And we made
chocolate chip cookies.

Wait. I don't remember any
chocolate chip cookies.

And I never forget
a cookie.

We threw them out.
They tasted funny.

[whining] Mine!

These don't look like
normal chocolate chips.

- [straining]
- They look like--

Cocoa nibs.

Mama P sent them over
when we first found
the book.

[grunting]

Which means they were
probably magic.

Both: Ooh.

I think you guys
were put under

some sort of
throw back spell,

because you're acting
more immature than Buddy.

I know you are,
but what am I?

Really, Hannah?

Both: [laughing]
Really, Hannah?

[knocking]

- Oh!
- Mm.

I'm gonna
get you, Kelly.

Please inform
the Quinns

I found her pillaging
my herb garden.

Oh. Um, okay.

If I hadn't been there,

who knows
what sort of danger

she could have
gotten herself into.

Grandma Quinn,
are you okay?

What were you doing
in Miss Silvers' garden?

You made a fort.

Pretty cool, right?

I've made better.

What's up, Darbie?
Did you just get here?

We were out of food,
so we just walked to
the gas station.

Jerky?

No, thank you.

Hey,
where you headed?

Uh, you guys are
acting weird.

I booked myself
a sleep over.

[car horn honks]

That's my ride.

You can reach me
at Mario's.

Okay. Have fun!

[crunching]

Ooh!
Oops.

Are you okay,
Mr. Quinn?

- Are you?
- Ooh.

What's with the
Mr. Quinn?

You guys
didn't happen to eat
any cookies today,

did you?

Oh, yeah.
The ones that Hannah
and Kelly made.

- Ugh!
- Gross.

Happy birthday,
by the way.

Yeah. Don't be
in a hurry to grow up.

Yeah.
I'm gettin' up there.

[sighs] Hey,
we're hungry.

Mm. Here you go.

- Cool.
- [giggling]

Hey, you want to go
sh**t some pool?

Mm. Only if there's
money on the table.

Oh, I'm tapped out.

Yo, Darbs, can you
spot me a fiver?

Sorry. Scott?

Eh. No worries.

Later.

- No, it wasn't.
- Yes, it was.

- No, it wasn't.
- Yes, it was.

Kelly stuck her finger
in my ear and it was gross!

You're such a tattletale.

Guys.[sighs]
We have bigger problems.

Your parents are also under
the throw back spell.

Maybe if I find
another spell

that also uses
the cocoa nibs,

I could figure out
how to stop this.

I'm thirsty.
Can I have some milk?

I don't know.
Sure, get a glass.

I'm still hungry.

Can you please make me
a grilled cheese sandwich?

Please, could you guys
stop whining

for, like,
two seconds?

Ha, ha.

[knocking]

I did it.

I found where Mama P
keeps here secret spices.

- That's awesome.
- Yeah.

You won't believe it.
It's in the back behind the--

- Uh-uh!
- Hey.

What's with
Kelly and Hannah?

They accidentally
put themselves under
a spell.

And now they won't stop
acting half their age.

Nice. Seven was
a good year for me.

- Can I do it?
- No.

I need help.

I can't babysit and
break magic spells
all by myself.

Relax. I got this.

My mom makes me babysit
my eight-year-old cousin.

all the time.

Who wants to watch
some TV?

That's your idea
of babysitting?

Hey. I monitor
what they watch

to make sure
it's appropriate.

[laughing]

Look. I think
I found something.

It's a little faded,
but I think is says,

"Merwaldian Dark Cocoa Nibs
can only be cured with...

"Merwaldian
White Cocoa Nibs"?

Which I'm guessing
you can only get

in Mama P's
secret pantry?

When can you
sneak in again?

Again? [scoffs]
I'm not the sneaky type.

My heart almost exploded
the first time.

Then help me sneak in.

I'm thinkin' we cut
a hole in the roof,

and I'll lower myself down
with a grappling hook.

In case there are lasers.

Or I can just leave
the door unlocked,

and you can walk in.

Fine. We'll do it
the boring way.

What about them?

[laughing]

Do they look like
they can handle

a stealth mission
right now?

Hm. I'll put on
another movie,

and you make
some popcorn.

They'll never miss us.

[door bell jingles]

- Ready?
- All set.

[door bell jingles]

- [gasping]
- [screaming]

What are you doing here?

We heard you and Jake.

We wanted to
play spies, too.

Don't.

It's spooky in here.

I'm not doing it.

It's the ghost
of Mama P.

Enough!

How am I the
responsible one?

I can't believe
I'm saying this,

but you guys need to
get serious and grow up.

- [crying]
- Shh. It's okay.
It's okay.

Don't cry.

Now, if you're good,

I will take you to
the toy store tomorrow

with my birthday money,
okay?

- [sniffing] Oh.
- Mm-hm.

Okay.

Here goes.

[door creaking]

Whoa.

Hannah: I'm scared.

Will somebody
hold my hand?

Isn't that the
exact same picture

you grandma has?

Now I'm scared.

Okay,
let's play a game.

First one to find
white cocoa nibs wins.

- Hannah: Eww.
- Darbie: No.

[gasping]
These are white.

These are white,
these are white.
Do I win?

- Aww.
- Everyone wins.

I'm so sick of
being in charge.

I don't think so.

[whimpering]

You're not going
anywhere.

Worst. Birthday. Ever.
