04x15 - Frenemies

[bunniefuu]

- Okay... here goes.

Hmm, you'’re a pretty thick one.

Where to start? [gasps]

"Temporal Machination and Modification."

Time manipulation...

This is it! It'’s going to work!

Jax... I found it!

- What is it?

- Here.

It'’s called a... Tam-bi-an Orb.

- "An ancient mechanism

used to control time and space."

Okay, this looks pretty hard,

but I'’m sure if we can find the time

we can figure it out--

Wait-- you want to do this now?

Like right now?

"We summon forward and summon back

to find the things that we do lack."

- "To use the orb to manipulate time and space,

a witch must possess immense power."

- Desdemona and Agamemnon'’s powers.

These should be immense enough.

- Wait, Em-- have you thought about this?

I guess so.

- "I shall go to any length

to give myself great powers and strength."

There'’s no going back now.

It'’s working!

- So this ball is just supposed to bring your mom back?

- No... it'’s not that simple.

The orb has enough power to alter the Earth'’s rotation.

Then because of the law of angular momentum--

- Ooh, science... you know that'’s not my thing.

- I'’m going to turn back time

by spinning the entire Earth backwards

until I reach the time when my mom was alive.

- "No shadows, no clocks can limit time.

Make it be, so the control is mine."

I think I need the time marker.

Quick, hand me the picture of my mother and me.

"This memento I use to discern

and mark the place I will return."

- Wait, Em.

- What?

- If you go back in time

to when that picture was taken,

who will you be?

Will you be this Emma?

Or will you be baby Emma?

Will you be the Emma that likes pizza...

or will you be the Emma that likes mud pie?

- Mud pie?

- I don'’t know, isn'’t that what kids eat?

- I'’m not sure.

I guess, for a brief moment...

both Emmas will exist.

- What if you go back in time

and you don'’t have your powers?

You'’ll be a kid and, and...

you won'’t know me.

- I think I can fix the time jumps.

I'’ll go back to before she was sick,

adjust only that wrinkle in time,

and jump back with nothing else changed.

- No!

- What'’s happening?

- I don'’t know!

JAX: Did it work?

Are we both in the past?

EMMA: I'’m not sure.

FRANCISCO: [groaning]

Why is it so dark in here?!

EMMA: Sorry, Dad!

We'’re working on a science project.

See? Transfer of electrical currents.

- Oh, electrical currents.

My favorite type of current!

Well-- I hope you at least learned something.

- Oh, yeah, heaps.

The beauty of science!

- Are you okay?

- Oh, I'’m fine.

Nothing a little ice and, uh,

some spaghetti and tuna salad won'’t fix.

Dinner'’s ready in fifteen.

[chuckles]

Ow...

- I don'’t think I can do it.

- Yeah-- that'’s a rough one.

I mean, I like spaghetti and tuna,

but separately, you know what I mean?

- I meant the spell.

I don'’t think I'’m powerful enough.

Yet.

- Emma!

My bags are all packed.

I'’ll be ready to roll in just a second.

- Oh, okay...

Sorry, where are you rolling to?

- Back home... to the '’Glades.

- I can'’t send you back to the Everglades yet.

- But you found something... didn'’t you?

- She thought she did, it just--

just didn'’t pan out.

- But you'’re close, right?

- Maybe-- look, can we talk later?

I really need to go.

- Wait!

- She said that she has to go.

It'’s gonna have to wait a bit longer.

- A bit longer?

Does "a bit longer"

mean the same in Australia as it does here?

- Ooh, perfect.

Just the person I was looking for.

- [sighs] You too?

- Okay, I know that this is a weird question

but just go with it.

Can you smell me?

- You mean... right now?

- Like, can you sense my odor from super far away?

And would you consider it...

stinky?

- Uh-- in general you smell fine to me?

Sure, after a couple hours working the pizza oven

you might not be the freshest, but who would be?

- No, he'’s talking about--

You know how some witches say Kanays have a certain...

- I think the word you'’re looking for is "stank."

- There are certain witches, who have this sense

where they can smell Kanay aroma from super far away.

- Diego, that'’s really interesting,

but I'’m kind of in the middle of something important.

- As important as trying to figure out

if you'’re one of the last remaining members

of a soon-to-be-extinct species?

- Yes.

- Oh, okay.

That is not the response I was expecting.

Just give me a second here to regroup...

- Look, you don'’t need my help.

You'’re a Kanay and Maddie'’s a witch.

You have great powers.

Use them to find what you'’re looking for.

- Let'’s go, Proxy.

I knew she couldn'’t help.

- She has powers...

Maddie has powers... Wait!

On second thought, I just might be able to help.

DIEGO: Really?

- Meet me in the biology lab after school.

- More Maddie? Really?

I'’ve spent so much time

cooped up with her for the past week.

- But she could be useful.

She'’s a witch.

- Yes... I know.

- She has powers...

- Yes... I know...

- And I need powers...

- What are you talking about?

Wha-- Oh...!

Emma... she'’s not gonna give you her powers.

- Maybe not.

But I could borrow them without her noticing.

- And how is this gonna help?

- I have a Kanay Sense.

You don'’t.

But...I can transfer the sense to you.

- Um, I don'’t see a ginormous ball of scrap metal!

How do you expect to do the transfer of powers if--

Wait, no way!

Proxy can'’t be our proxy.

It'’s too dangerous.

- Relax.

New reading material.

According to this...

All you have to do

is read the spell while we hold hands

and the transfer will work.

"Through day and night and endless hours,

I hereby grant this transfer of powers."

- Did it work?

- I...

[sniffing]

- You sense something already?

- I think so, but...

[sniffing]

But it'’s not you.

- [gasps] It'’s another Kanay.

- [sniffing]

It'’s...

[sniffing]

It'’s...

a tuna sandwich?

- Oh, hey! I'’ve been looking for that... mmm...

- Home sweet home!

JAX: [chuckles]

[both sigh]

I think you were really close that time.

- I don'’t get it.

Is it possible that I still need more power?

Maybe I should just forget it.

- No...

Take my powers.

- What?

No.

Jax, you need your powers.

- I'’ll be fine without them.

You need them more than I do.

- No way. You need to protect your mom and your sister.

They'’re both powerless.

I'’d never forgive myself

if anything happened to any of you.

- I'’ll be fine.

Trust me, I can handle myself.

I can even tie my own shoelaces, which is

much more than I can say for the Council.

- No.

I'’m not taking them, Jax.

That'’s that. [phone beeps]

I need to go.

But Jax...

Thank you.

Mom? Are you spying on Jax again?

- Oh... Jessie!

No-- I was just-- I thought I heard a--

a squirrel-- in the walls.

[boom echoes]

- That is one serious squirrel.

- Go to your room... and stay there. Now!

[boom]

It'’s your father.

He'’s trying to get in. - Where'’s Jessie?

- Her room. Is the system engaged?

Yep. Whole system is set.

- And Emma'’s protective bubble is up.

He can'’t tele-transport in.

We should be safe.

[boom echoing]

- I don'’t get it.

Dad is totally harmless--

boring sometimes, but that never hurt anybody.

- You think I'’m boring, eh?

- Dad!

- Oh... We haven'’t got a lot of time.

And I need to tell you something--

JAX: Jessie?!

JAX: Jessie?!

- Why are you stopping?

- I can'’t tele-transport.

There'’s a protective bubble around the house.

- Quick, hide under my bed!

- Jessie?

Jessie, are you okay?

- I'’m okay.

A-okay.

A-plus okay.

- All right then.

Well, just, just stay here

until I say everything'’s safe, all right?

- Okay. - Okay.

- He'’s gone.

JAKE: Good work.

But maybe fewer "okays" next time.

- So... how exactly does one

get the water on the floor?

- Oh! Like so.

- I don'’t think that'’s right.

- What do you know?

You stick to doling out

those little strips of carbohydrates to children.

- They'’re called French fries, and I know plenty!

- Ahh!

How dare you try to touch my...

floor swatter!

- Oh, give it to me! - Stop that!

Aah...

- I don'’t see why we can'’t have

our after-school Panther meetings

at your house or The Seven.

- Yeah, but then it wouldn'’t be a meeting.

It would just be us,

hanging out, talking about other people.

- But all we do at our meetings

is hang out and talk about other people.

- Yeah, but it'’s at a meeting.

- Oh, no-- girls!

Uh, no, what are they called?

Pandas! - Pan-THERS.

[girls shriek]

MADDIE: [groaning]

[shoes squeaking]

AGAMEMNON AND DESDEMONA: See what you'’ve done?!

- Um... sorry, girls.

Allow me.

- That'’s okay.

I love a good floor bath!

Allow me.

Hmm...

That'’s weird.

[clears throat]

"I'’ll have to give this another try.

I'’m soaking wet, now make me dry."

Wha--

What'’s happening?

My powers, they'’re... they'’re not working!

- Maybe the water put them out!

- My powers, they'’re...

they'’re...

gone!

- Hello?

DUPRE: Can I help you?

- Who'’s there?

DUPRE: [chuckles]

It worked!

Dupre'’s the name.

- Daniel.

- What brings ya round these parts, Daniel?

- I was wondering if you could use any help around here.

I'’m familiar with the area,

and I know my way around an airboat.

- Yeah, sure, I could definitely use some help.

Flamingos, they get kind of restless this time of year.

- Oh, I know.

- Can'’t afford to pay ya, though.

- Oh, you won'’t have to. Room and board is all I need.

- Well, I ain'’t got no room... or board.

Sorry, stranger.

- Please, you don'’t understand.

I live here!

I did-- I do!

This is my home!

- You sure you weren'’t bit by a rattler out there?

- No, sir. - You sure are showing

all the classic symptoms.

Talkin'’ nonsense, sweating...

hair all crazy from the venom.

- This is how my hair is.

- Well, I'’ve been living here for the last years.

And for years before that, my pa and grandpa lived here.

- Wait...

Is your last name Miller?

- Nope. It'’s La Dupre.

- Your name is Dupre La Dupre?

- Yup. So was my pa'’s and my grandpa'’s.

I'’m Dupre La Dupre the Third.

LILY: Oh, hey, Andi.

- Hey, Lily, I have big news to tell you.

Like really big.

Huge! Gigantic!

Galactic.

- What is it?

- Go ahead, Hex, tell her what we heard.

Can you believe it?!

Oh, sorry...

Emma found a new book of spells.

Like a bad one.

Like an evil Hex!

- Wait... that could explain it!

- Explain what?

- How Maddie lost her powers.

Emma must'’ve found a spell in there and stole them.

MADDIE: What?!

- Welcome to Lily'’s Hospital of Powerless Witches.

- Emma did this to me?!

- Maddie, let'’s stay calm.

- How can I stay calm?

Do you not see what my future looks like?

- Desdemona, what happened to the back of your head?

Did a family of chipmunks lay a nest in there?

[snake hissing]

- That sounds like a... constrictor,

roughly six, no... no, seven,

seven feet long...

Could it be?

Billy-- Billy, is that you?

I gotta get some sleep.

Ah! Copperhead!

They'’re venomous!

Very venomous!

- We need to get your things and get out of here.

You'’re gonna have to pack light again.

[groans] - Dad!

- What?! How did you get in here?!

- I walked through the front door.

- What-- We were so focused on him sneaking in

that we didn'’t even think about the front door!

- Let him out! Now!

- Jessie... no. You don'’t understand.

- What is going on?

We got him!

- Please! Let him out!

- Jessie, you don'’t understand what he'’s like.

He wanted to give you up to the Realm

when you were a baby.

He wanted to ruin your childhood!

Jax, what are you waiting for?

Get him out of here!

- Why would you do that?!

- Uh...

- You did well, son.

You did very well.

- Thanks.

- [sniffing]

Eww...

What'’s that smell?

[sniffing]

Did I get the Kanay Sense?!

- Hey, Diego.

- [sniffing]

Oh, bro! Wow, you'’re ripe.

- What?

[sniffing]

Oh-- sorry.

- No, bro, it'’s fine, I mean--

I know what it'’s like to be the stinky one.

Well, to witches.

To humans I always smell like a peach.

- You sure about that, bro?

- Hey, the pizza oven gets very hot okay?

Sometimes I sweat! So sue me.

- Eww... I hope you don'’t sweat into the pizzas.

- No, never.

- Well, anyway, I stopped by

'’cause I have something for you.

I know how you'’re looking for your people.

This is from the Sanctuary.

- Yeah, but... this is Mia'’s.

She made it, remember?

- Impossible.

Mia never lived in the Everglades...

not in this life anyway.

- Wait, so, that means that--

That there'’s another Kanay in the Everglades.

- You can come in, Jax.

[door opens]

- [sighs]

Can we talk for a minute?

- I guess.

Listen, Jessie, I know that you'’re mad at me,

and I get that.

But... I'’d rather you be safe and mad--

- I know.

- I did what I had to do to protect you and Mom

and I'’d do it again if I had to.

I just need you to know that.

Oh, um, and one thing.

You haven'’t been feeling your powers

coming up at all, have you?

- No.

- No... small shocks when you touch things?

No tingling in your fingers?

- Nope... why?

- No reason.

Just... wanted you to look out, that'’s all.

- And... drink!

No...

- Thank you.

- This is all because of that--

MADDIE: Emma!

- Exactly!

- No, I mean-- she'’s here.

- Hi, Gigi.

Can I get a black and white milkshake... extra syrup?

It'’s been a tough day.

- Ooh! Video confessional, love it!

And... go!

- I'’ll just take the shake.

- Fine. But extra syrup'’s gonna cost you extra.

- You'’ve got a lot of nerve showing up here!

- Maddie...

- You stole my powers!

Now give them back!

- I didn'’t steal them... I borrowed them.

- Borrowing is when someone willingly gives you something.

- Not when you trick them into using a spell

from the Evil Hexa-rella!

- I'’m gonna let that one slide just this once.

- I promise I'’ll give them back to you... soon.

- It'’s one thing to do this to your sworn frenemy,

but to do it to Proxy, an actual friend?

Low.

- Yeah, Emma, friends don'’t say

that they'’re gonna help each other out,

and then lie to them.

- I-- I--

- One black-and-white shake, extra syrup.

DIEGO: Oh... no!

She does not get our best milk shake!

Ooh, ow, okay, brain freeze...

- Don'’t worry, I can fix it!

No, wait, I can'’t!

- It'’s okay, I'’ll do it.

- Wait! No! Don'’t. Just--

Just, just, just leave, please.

- I'’m sorry! I didn'’t mean to hurt anyone.

- If you won'’t leave...

...we will.

- Guys, wait! Please!

- Hope you'’re having a better night than I am.

Emma?

- This needs to end... now.

- I'’m sorry-- I would have come through the front door,

it'’s just that every time I do, your dad intercepts me--

- Everybody'’s turning on me, Jax.

- Not me.

- I can'’t... I don'’t want to lose my friends over this.

- Em, if it'’s not worth it,

just say the word and we'’ll stop.

- To have my mother again?

Of course it'’s worth it.

But I have to do it fast,

or else it'’ll be too late to get the others back.

- Okay, so how do we get this done quickly?

- With more power.

Maddie wasn'’t enough.

It has to come from one of the most powerful witches around.

- You already have Maddie'’s powers and the Council'’s powers.

You won'’t even take mine.

There are no more powerful wizards or witches left.

- Yes, there are.

Your dad.
