01x11 - Just Add Camping

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on
"Just Add Magic"...

Who was the shadowy figure?

We just called her
the traveler.

If I can access
all my memories

from Grandma's last good day,

maybe I can piece together what happened.

I remembered so much.

Miss Silvers came over

to give Grandma
a box of spices,

and when she got home,

she had a leaf on her jacket,

and a piece of paper in her jacket pocket.

Wait, I recognize it.

That orange stripe,
it's from the Cedros Forest.

We have to go to
the Cedros Forest.

[door opens]

Hey, guys.
Sorry I'm late.

It's all right.
We already got started.

Oh, no.

What are we making now?

Trail mix.
With a side of magic.

Off the trail mix,
technically.

Why would we want to
go off the trail?

Because we need to know
where my Grandma went
in the Cedros Forest,

and the book says,
"This treat will make
your path clear."

The Galifrazian coconut oil
will make us expert trackers.

It also says,
"After you face
your greatest fear."

And that would be courtesy of
the Carnejian maple syrup.

We have to face
our greatest fear?

I don't really have fears.

I just take life
as it comes.

Well, I don't.
Especially in the woods.

Anything can happen.

Snakes, poison oak,
flash floods.

Don't worry.
We'll be fine.

As long as
there aren't snakes.

Oh, there are
tons of snakes.

My dad and I camp there
all the time.

But only a few
are poisonous.

Not helping, Darbie.

Wait. How are we even
supposed to get to the
Cedros Forest?

Isn't it far away?

About that.

I have an idea.

Okay, we have Frisbees,
a football,

and a couple of games
if it rains.

You brought everything
but the TV.

Don't need it. I downloaded
a dozen movies to my tablet.

Is the rest of your stuff
in the car?

Nope. This is it.
We pack light.

You can survive in the woods
with nothing but bait,

a Swiss Army Kn*fe,
and a compass.

And personal fortitude,
of course.

I don't have
any of those things.

[knocking]

Oh, that must be
Hannah and Clayton.

Hey, guys.
Come in.

No. No.

Tell Singapore
we need to make
a decision.

Sorry.
That's the last call
I had to take.

So, who's ready to
hit the woods?

[cell phone rings]

I swear,
this really is
the last call.

What's with the socks?

I may have read a lot
about Lyme disease
last night.

I think I found
my greatest fear.

This is gonna be
a great weekend.

S'mores, campfires,
scary stories.

There's a great overlook
halfway up Mount Cedros
I'd love to check out.

Uh, that's not on
the itinerary.

No, different itinerary.

We have an itinerary?

Clayton made one.
But don't worry,
it's all fun stuff.

If you're lucky,
I'll even teach you
how to gut a fish.

I don't want to be lucky.

I'm going camping
with my daughter,

so don't call me
unless you need me.

[sighs]

- What are we waiting for?
- You, Dad.

Let's go before the
best camping spots
are taken.

You know, this was
a great idea, Kelly.

It's gonna be nice
to get away

and spend some time
together.

Yeah, Dad.
Can't wait.

♪♪

Ready to go
off the trail?

No, but that's not
going to change.

I'm gonna show
Kelly and Hannah

where all the best
kindling is.

We don't need kindling.

I brought a ton
of fire starters.

Isn't that cheating?

Sure, but that leaves
more time for fun stuff.

Oh, first item
on the itinerary:

canoeing to
Dead Shepherd's Island.

That sounds ominous.

Actually,
it's pretty cool.

There are wild goats
everywhere.

How are we gonna
sneak away

if we're stuck
on an island?

I'll take wild goats over
getting lost in the woods.

Okay. But we have to
try later.

Totally.
Most of camping is just

sitting around and
being one with nature
and stuff.

There will be
plenty of time.

I thought you were
working on your
pluot recipes.

I don't need them.

I'm not allowed to
sell food at the festival.

What? That's absurd.
Why not?

[sighs] They said
no bikes allowed.

But didn't you say
you're not a bike,

you're a mobile
food specialist?

They didn't get
the difference.

I spent weeks
perfecting my pluot rub.

Well, you didn't
hear it from me,

but the festival
planning committee

comes in every Saturday
at : .

And tomorrow is Saturday.

What's the use?

They already said no.

But have they tried your
plu chutney and brie bundts?

Maybe once they know
what a talented chef you are,

they'll change their minds.

My brie bundts
do have a bite.

Oh, yes, they do.

[owl hooting]

They've kept us busy
every single second
of this trip.

[sighs] We've already
gone swimming,

potato mashing,
bird watching,

berry picking
and rock climbing.

What else could they
have planned?

Come on.
Stargazing in five.

They're relentless.

Admit it. Today was
a pretty fun day.

My dad gave us that
awesome whittling lesson.

What's it supposed to be?

I'm open to suggestions.

[giggling]

I love it, Darbs,
but we only have
tomorrow left.

How are we gonna make sure
that we can sneak away?

There are critters
all over these woods.
Right?

You have to
stop thinking about
your fears, Hannah.

For once, I wasn't.

I thought I closed it
after the S'mores,

but I must have
forgotten.

I am so sorry
I messed up
all of our food.

That's okay,
Hannah.

Hey, I have
a great idea.

Let's hop in the car
and drive into town,

- and get some good,
greasy diner food.
- Sounds like a plan.

Uh, do we have to?
I mean, where's the
adventure in that?

Yeah, we're
supposed to be camping.

Hannah's right.

Dad and I fish out here
all the time.

Tell 'em about that time
we caught that pound bass.

I think you
just did, Darbs.

How about it?
Fishing?

I get seasick,
so count me out.

And I have reading
for school.

- [whispers]
We have reading?
- Yeah.

Aww, man.
I better stay, too.

You sure you'll
be okay alone?

[cell phone ringing]

Oh, uh, you know,
I'll stay behind with them.

Dad! You're here
to unplug. Unplug.

[chuckles]
Using my own words
against me.

You're gonna make
a great lawyer.

I can't wait to see
who catches the biggest fish.

I'm betting on you, Dad.

I'm not.
I've never fished.

Well, we'll see you girls
in about an hour or so.

Don't rush.
Take your time.

"The woods may be
dark and bleak,

"but if you focus
on what you seek,

"this treat will make
your path clear...

All: "After you face
your greatest fear."

I'm terrified already.

You're really not
afraid of anything?

Nope.
Life's an adventure.

Let's do this.

Just the essentials.

Just the essentials,
huh?

How do you think
it will show us
where to go?

Glowing footsteps?

Ooh, maybe an animal
like a unicorn or a deer
will lead the way.

No deer.
Deer carry ticks,

ticks carry
Lyme disease.

- Lyme disease caus--
- Shh!

[rustling]

Did you hear that?

[rustling]

That's how.
Come on, this way.

[door bell jingles]

That plu chutney
was out of this world.

Magnifique.

Thank you,
Mr. Stitt.

And something refreshing
for dessert,

pluotsickles.

They're naturally
fat-free, by the way.

Wow. Amazing.

You should sell these.

That's kind of the idea.

I was hoping I could
sell them at the
Pluot Festival this year,

but they don't
allow bikes.

So...

What? Really?

Move out of the way,
Mama P.

I've got cookin' to do.

You changed their minds?

No. My menu did.

Good for you, Jake.

See what happens when
you don't give up so easily?

Pluotsickle, Mama P?

Ooh.

On the house.

[birds squawking]

I hope we find what we're
looking for soon.

I'm exhausted.

That's because
your pack weighs
as much as you do.

Just set it down.
We'll get it in
a little bit.

No way.

If somebody breaks a bone,
I have splint tape.

If somebody gets stung,
I've got epi pens.

What if we promise
to be really careful?

We can't be careful.

The trail mix is
going to make us face
our greatest fears.

It's like my backpack
is getting heavier.

But that's impossible.

No.

It's what scares you
the most.

Not being prepared.

[grunting]

[grunting]
I'm stuck.

I can't get up.

Just take
your pack off.

Okay.

[sighs]

Oh, no.

[straining]

If we're gonna
keep going,

you have to leave
your pack behind.

But it has
everything we need

in case
something bad happens.

We have to be prepared.

[heavy breathing]

See?
I can't catch my breath.
I need an inhaler.

You don't have asthma.

You could develop asthma
at any age.

It's okay.

You can do this.
We'll be with you

every step of the way.

Okay.
I guess I can try.

I'm so sorry
you didn't care for
the turkey sandwich.

Um, here's your
money back.

That's the
third customer today

who's asked for a refund.

That's strange.

The panini press
must be on the fritz.

Well, it's not
just paninis.

Someone sent back
a blueberry muffin.

Who doesn't love
your blueberry muffins?

Jake, it's okay.

I'm just
off my game today.

This way.

You know,
I actually feel
pretty good.

Like a weight
has been lifted.

It has.
Literally.

That thing was,
like, pounds.

It was mostly
the defibrillator.

Those things
weigh a lot.

- Snake! I saw a snake.
- Ooh, let me see.

Oh, man, it's just
a couple of sticks. See?

- [branches snapping]
- Whoa.

- Guys!
- Darbie, where'd you go?

Darbie: I'm right here,
behind a--

Inside a bush.
Get me out!

[creaking]

I can't move anything.
It's impossible.

Do you feel like
the bush is
closing in on you?

Now I do.

Hannah: Sorry, I was just
trying to find out

if you were claustrophobic.

I'm not.
But I see why
some people are.

Hold tight.
We're gonna find something
to get you out of there.

No, don't
leave me alone!

Kelly? Hannah?
Are you still there?

- Say something.
- Still here.

Um, guys.
I think I was wrong

when I said
I didn't have any fears.

Apparently,
I'm not okay with
being left alone.

Don't worry, Darbie.

We'll stay with you.

You can't.
You have to keep going.

It's the only way that
the spell will work.

I have to
face my fear alone.

No, we can't split up.

Just go.
I'll be fine.

Okay, okay.
You're right.

W-- We'll see you soon.

Stay safe!
And don't touch anything
with three leaves.

I won't.
I promise.

You got this, Darbs.

You're gonna be fine.

Totally, totally fine.

[sighs]

You're Mama P.
You're never
off your game.

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Oh. Tuscany had
a nice crop of olives
this season.

Mama P.

You're paying
a magical price.

You put something
in my food.

That's why the committee
changed their minds.

They just realized
they made a mistake.

Okay, fine.

I might have sprinkled
the barest amount of
Cedronian sugar

on your chutney.

You didn't think my menu
was good enough on its own?

Your food is fantastic.

They made a mistake,
I didn't want them
to make another one.

You deserve
every opportunity

to share your food
with the world.

I get it.
You're just trying to help.

I'm just bummed that
you didn't think

my food could
speak for itself.

And the Darbster
beats El Darbo again.

[creaking]

Nice.

[sighs] I miss her.

If Darbie was here,
should could tell us

which sticks
were sticks,

and which sticks were
poisonous snakes.

I have two kinds of
anti-venom in my backpack.

Oh, well.

[wind blowing]

I think the spell
wants us to go this way.

Towards a wasp's nest?

[screaming]

- Darbie!
- [giggling]

- You found us.
- Are you okay?

Yep. Fear faced.
All good.

Which means...

it's my turn.

- You got this, Kelly.
- Definitely.

Get ready to
join the club

of the totally awesome
and brave.

Okay. Snakes,
here I come.

[rustling]

I don't understand.

We're back at
the campsite?

How did the spell
lead us in a circle?

Hey, Darbs.
I caught the most fish.

I got the
biggest fish.

I got to
paddle the boat.

Hey, Kelly, you want to
help us clean these?

No. I want to go home.


I don't know
what happened.

We followed
the recipe exactly.

And it worked
for you and Darbie.

Snakes.
Where are the snakes?

There should have
been snakes.

Kelly, it's okay.

It's not okay.

This is our
last day here
in the forest,

and the spell
didn't work.

When we get back,
we'll try something else.

What else?

Even Mama P's
out of ideas.

I failed.
It's hopeless.

I'm gonna lose Grandma.

Kelly, what has
gotten into you?

Nothing, I just don't
want to be here.

Well,

we're not going anywhere
'til you tell me what's wrong.

What's wrong is that
Grandma's sick,

and everybody's
acting like it's okay.

But I can't.

[sighs]
I know you're sad.

And you're scared.

So am I.

But we still have to
find a way to enjoy life.

We came here to have fun.

I don't want to.

Not an option, kid.
Come on.

Come with me,
come on.

Welcome, everyone,
to the first annual

Cedros Forest
father-daughter
football game!

Wait, we're playing
against you?

You girls have
the advantage, Darbs.

We're old and frail.

Speak for yourself.

Woop.

[laughing]

Thanks, Dad,
that was really fun.

- [whooping]
- [giggling]

Be honest though, girls.
Did you let us win?

Sort of.

[rustling]

I think we need to
get kindling.

Right now.

But what about
the fire starters?

Dad, are you saying that

you can't start a fire
the old fashioned way?

Patrick,
hand me the flint.

You sure you girls
got this?

Yeah, Dad.
Much better now.

Thanks.

Looks like the
committee's back.

You called them?

I promised them
free coffee for a week

if they came in to
try your menu again.

They're very confused.

But I don't have
anything prepared.

If you're telling me
you can't whip something up,

then you should
hang up your apron.

All right.

Why is the spell
working again?

I didn't face my fear.

Maybe you did.

Think about it.
What are you
most scared of?

Snakes.

No.

Not being able to
save your grandma.

Which you faced.

When the spell
led us back to camp,

you thought that
you'd failed.

That you'd
never be okay again.

But you were okay.

When we played football,

you were laughing and
smiling and having fun.

Yeah, you're right.
I was.

But where is it
leading us now?

[wind blowing]

How do you like
my plu-hot salsa?

I know the heat
can be a little much,

so you might want to
wash it down

with some fresh pressed
pluot juice, name TBD.

The salsa is incredible.
The pain is worth it.

I like to think so.
[chuckles]

Thank you so much
for giving my menu
another try.

I really want
your decision
to be based on

how much you
love this food,

and not the food
from before,

because--

Um, because--

Jake, I need to
stop you right there.

This may be
the best salsa
I've ever tasted.

- Really?
- Sure.

It's even better than
anything you served us
earlier.

But we can't allow
your vehicle

into the festival,
after all.

Our insurance
doesn't cover

moving vehicles
around pedestrians.

Seriously?

It's not too late for me
to feed them something else.

- I'll just--
- It's okay.

They loved the food.

But they won't let you
serve it at the festival.

Yeah, but for
insurance reasons,

not because my food
isn't awesome.

Oh. I'm gonna bottle
my pluot salsa.

I'm gonna sell it
in every grocery store
in America.

I'm gonna run a
pluot salsa empire.

Oh, wow.

She can't be.

Who else
could she be?

Are you the traveler?

We are all travelers.
Are we not?

I think that means yes.

Do you know
who we are?

Of course.

I gave the book
to your grandmother
and her friends.

I hope you will be
wiser than they.

We are
extremely wise.

Well--

My grandma
came into the woods.

Did you see her?

Do you know what
she was looking for?

Maybe, um,
a magical ingredient.

She was looking for me.

You have to
take it back

before Kelly finds it.

No matter
where I hide it,

it keeps coming for her.

The book is a gift.

No, it's a curse.

It ruins lives
and breaks bonds.

Only if you let it.

I warned you of this
years ago.

I know.

Please.

I will do
whatever it takes
to protect her.

If you fight
the will of the book,
you will lose.

Just let me
give it back to you.

The book is no longer
yours to give.

It belongs to
someone else now.

Who does it belong to?

Us. It's our
responsibility.

Or is it yours?

I'm the protector
of the book.

But I cannot
wield its power.

Can the book save
Kelly's grandma?

[sighs]

Your grandmother
was cursed by a
powerful hand.

There has to be
something we can do.

Magic can fulfill
any desire

for those willing
to pay the price.

And what you desire
comes at a very great price.

I'll pay it.

Are you certain of this?

Yes. I am.

Hold up, Kell.

Can we have a sec?

I'm pretty sure
if she can appear
out of nowhere,

she can hear us
whispering.

Kelly, this sounds
dangerous.

I don't care.

She's my grandmother.

I'll pay the price.

No.

[wind blowing]

Where'd she go?

[owl hooting]

I'm sorry, Kell.
Did I wake you?

Couldn't sleep.

Yeah, me neither.

It's so quiet out here
without garbage trucks,

and the neighbors' cats.

Your mother snoring.

[chuckling]

It's nice, but--

Weird.

Exactly.

You know,
I'm really glad
we took this trip.

Me, too.

Not a lot of girls
your age

would want to spend
a whole weekend
with their dads.

Let alone a whole weekend
in the woods.

You're way cooler
than most dads.

I am?

Don't let it
go to your head.

Nah, don't worry.
I'll stay humble.

All right.
I'm off to use the
little boys tree.

If I'm not back
in minutes,

go back to civilization
without me.

Never.

Love you, Dad.

Love you, kiddo.

Whoa.

"A high price
you're sure to pay,

"but Candied Stone Fruit
can save the day,

"and break any curse
that's in your way."

This is it.
