01x12 - Just Add Pluots Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Previously on
"Just Add Magic"...

Kelly: Grandma isn't sick.
She's under a magic spell.

I know that the cure
is in the cookbook.

The magic has
a mind of its own.

I can't move my arm.

Hannah: There's never
not been a downside.

♪ Music makes us happy
and it feeds our souls ♪

[laughter]

An anonymous donor
has gifted the school
a piano.

Are you the traveler?

I gave the book
to your grandmother
and her friends.

I hope you will be
wiser than they.

Mama P:
It started with Gina.

She just couldn't handle
the magic.

She cursed me.

I haven't been able to
leave Saffron Falls

for over years.

Hannah, you found
Gina's book of victims.

I'm not the only person
in town she cursed.

I knew Miss Silvers
cursed Grandma.

Hannah: They say
she could have been
one of the greats,

but one day she just
stopped playing in public.

You're dealing with
powerful forces
you cannot control.

The book
can tear us apart
if we're not careful.

Can the book
save Kelly's grandma?

Magic can fulfill
any desire

for those willing
to pay the price.

I'll pay it.

Whoa.

"But candied stone fruit
can save the day,

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

We did it.

Uh, you missed
the first part
of the riddle.

"A high price
you're sure to pay."

I'm not worried
about that.

I am.

What if it's something
really horrible?

Like permanent hiccups
or hair on your face?

Or you lose your memory?

"The price you pay
will reflect the curse,"

"leaving things
vastly worse."

- [sighs]
- Definitely the
scariest riddle ever.

Buddy, that's
Grandma's suitcase.

Hide it.
I don't want her
to go to New York.

To see the specialist?

We just found out.

She got moved up
the waiting list.

She can't go if we
hide her suitcase.

Oh, Buddy.
I'm sorry.

Don't worry.
I'm working on something.

Cool.

Maybe the specialist
will actually help her.

Can we please not rush into
doing something drastic,

like cooking a
hugely powerful spell?

[sighs]

Nothing's gonna stop me
from making this recipe.

♪♪

Two tablespoons of
Cedronian refined sugar,

a half cup of
Lapsis agave nectar,

and Merwaldian cherries.

Mama P,
what do you think?

I think
you girls did it.

I'm very impressed.

Do you think it'll work?

Oh, yes.

Too bad we can't do it.

I don't understand.
Why?

The recipe is
too dangerous.

I can't let you
go through with it.

Thank you.

But I'm willing
to pay the price.

No.

You'll take on your
grandmother's curse.

Thank you.

The book wouldn't
give us a recipe

if it didn't
want us to use it.

You know,

the recipe calls for
five pieces of stone fruit.

If we were to
expand it to ,

we could dilute the price.

- ?
- That's huge.

Exactly.

Instead of Kelly
paying a big price,

many people would pay
a very small price.

Well, in that case,
I could probably eat
a dozen.

I ate hot dogs
at a contest once,

- so I'm good for
maybe .
- Excellent.

As for the rest,
we can hand them out
as free samples

at the Pluot Festival.

What? This is crazy.

No. This is meant to be.

So, how does
the magic work,
exactly?

Oh, "The first bite
you must take

"for your curse to break,

"when the last bite
you've eaten,

"your curse
will be beaten."

So, how does
the magic work,
exactly?

Grandma Becky must take

the very first and
the very last bite.

And then
the curse breaks.

But what happens
to everyone else?

I don't think anything
too serious.

Everyone might just be
a little confused
for a few seconds.

Might?

My family, friends,
and the whole town
will be there.

What if something
goes wrong?

It won't.

I trust Mama P.

The festival's
the day after tomorrow.

Can we get the recipe
done in time?

If we can get
our hands on pluots.

Wait. The recipe
calls for stone fruit,

which is any fruit
with a pit.

Why does it
have to be pluots?

No one's gonna eat peaches
at a pluot festival.

Good point.

Let's start
rounding up pluots.

Tomorrow,
we start cooking.

This is really
happening.

What are we
going to do?

The only thing we can.
Help Kelly.

[giggling]

How did you get
the baseball team

to cancel their
Bobbing-for-Pluots booth?

I told them that
we'd sell nachos

at their next
three games.

Mrs. Quinn:
Kelly, can I see you?

Mom, what is it?

Hannah. Did you get
some pluots?

- No.
- Okay, what's going on?

Well, I can't believe
I have to ask you this.

Have you been harassing
Miss Silvers?

Hannah.
What did you tell her?

Well, I guess
there's my answer.

Did you really
steal plants
from her garden?

One plant, but I--

Technically,
that was me.

So I'm guessing
you also asked Hannah

to snoop around her house
during her piano lesson?

Really, Hannah?

How could you do this?

No, don't get
mad at her.

She's very worried
about you.

And frankly, so am I.

When your dad gets back,
we're all gonna have
a big talk.

There's more.
Kelly asked me to lie
for her this weekend.

- What?
- What?

You asked me to
tell your parents

you were sleeping over
at my house

so you can go to
Charlotte's pluot party.

Wait, Charlotte's
having a pluot party?

Hannah!

But I'm worried because
her older sister

is a little
irresponsible,

and her parents
are out of town.

This is crazy.
There's no pluot party.

- She's lying.
- Is she?

Well, is she lying about

writing on the windows
at school?

Or coming home late?
Getting detention?

Is she lying about that?

No, but I had my reasons.

Such as?

I can't tell you.

I'm glad you
came to me, Hannah.

[sighs]
I've noticed that

your behavior has been
strange lately.

I thought
it was just stress,
but I don't know.

Mom, can we please
discuss this later?

I-- I have to cook for
the Pluot Festival.

We're helping Mama P--

No. There's no
Pluot Festival for you.

- What?
- I think you need a break.

No cooking, no friends.
For the next two weeks,

you're grounded.

I'm sorry girls,
but you need to leave.

Why did you get
Kelly grounded?

What kind of a friend
does that?

The kind of friend
who doesn't just say yes
to everything.

You always do
what she wants,

but it may not be
what she needs.

[door bell jingles]

Jake Williams, III,
comes through.

I convinced Mr. Kim
to sell me his entire supply.

It's about pluots.

That's great, Jake.

- And you only paid
double the price.
- What?

I talked him down
from triple.

I need your help
to get me out of
the house tomorrow.

"Disappearing Dim Sum."

If I disappear,
I'll get into
even more trouble.

"Walk In My Shoes
Schnitzel."

"When you need to have
two faces

"to be seen in
two different places,

"have a friend
pretend to be you."

Chicken cutlets,
egg, flour.

This is perfect.

I won't tell
if you don't.

Deal.

[knocking]

Have you talked
to Hannah?

No, and I'm not
planning to.

[sighs]
What she did was wrong,

but her heart's
in the right place.

She's worried about you.

And so am I.

I couldn't
live with myself

if I didn't try
everything I could

to help my grandma.

[sighs] So,
what am I eating?

Chicken schnitzel with
a pinch of Elysian salt,

and a splash of
Livonian oil.

So, what's
supposed to happen?

Inside you'll
still be Darbie,

but everyone who sees you
will see me instead.

I'm gonna have to
pull off being you?

That's gonna be hard.

Whoa.

Not as hard as you think.

It's like looking
into a mirror.

That is so cool.

I have to remember to
smooth my hair a lot.

- I do that?
- All the time.

How's my
serious Kelly face?

[giggling] That's
pretty good, actually.

You got me.

Oh, and how does
the spell break?

Just admit who you are
by saying you name
three times in a row.

Mrs. Quinn: Kelly,
are you in the kitchen?

Oh, no. I gotta
get out of here.

What up, Mom?

Why are you up so early?

'Cause I'm Kelly?

I always wake up early
when I'm grounded.

You've never been
grounded before.

I haven't?
Seriously?

Darbie gets grounded
all the time.

Well, no surprise.

But she's
an amazing girl.

What a friend.

With all the
festivities today,

I'm really gonna
need your help.

No problemo.

No problem.

Can you vacuum before
Buddy's class comes over

to rehearse for the play?

You got it.

They're gonna
be here soon.

Kelly.

- Kelly.
- Oh!

Yes?

You're acting
really weird.

No, I'm not.

You know what?

I really need a hug.

Okay.

Oh!

When's that last time
we did that?

No clue.

♪♪

[knocking]

Kelly?

Hannah.

How is this possible?
I just saw you cooking
at Mama P's.

No, you didn't.

I was here.
Grounded.

- You're not Kelly.
- Am, too.

What's your middle name?

Amanda?

I knew it, Darbie.

You're under
some kind of spell
pretending to be Kelly.

[scoffs]
I can't believe you.

I'm sorry,
but we just have
different ideas

on how to help Kelly.

I gotta go stop her
from cooking.

Hannah!

What's my middle name?

[knocking]

[door bell jingles]

Where have you... been?

Five pounds
Cedronian refined sugar.

Kelly,
please don't do this.

Stop! Don't!

Go away, Hannah.
I don't need you here.

You never supported me
doing magic

unless it helped you.

[scoffs]
That's not true.

Gotten any good
autographs lately?

Yes. I also had to
sing-talk

in front of
the whole school,

take piano lessons
with the scariest woman
in the world,

face my fears
in a creepy forest,

and worst of all,
I got detention.

Whoa, you guys need to
take a deep breath.

Both: Butt out, Jake!

I am your friend, Kelly.

And as your friend
I have to tell you,

your grandma would be
so disappointed in you.

Get out!

I don't want to
talk to you ever again.

Come on, Hannah.

How could you let her use
all that Cedronian sugar?

This is too dangerous
and you know it.

I told you,
we're diluting the price.

You should have
stopped her.

Kelly and I
are both trying to
break the curse.

You're not
going to stop me.

Stop you?

From helping Kelly.

Stay away from
the shop, Hannah.

I don't like it when
people get in my way.

What?

Oh, Kelly.

Mama P: I don't like it
when people get in my way.

Mama P: I don't like it
when people get in my way.

"Shut down indefinitely after
a mysterious infestation

"of rare Central American
cockroaches."

Who could have benefited
from that coffee shop closing?

Mama P.

"City council again votes
to keep coffee chain
out of Saffron Falls

"even after the entire town
signed the petition."

Mama P.

Thank you for
meeting me here.

What's this about,
Miss Parker Kent?

I owe you an apology,
Miss Silvers.

When I went to your house
for my piano lesson,

I found your scrapbook
of victims.

My what?

The record you keep of
all the curses around town.

They aren't my victims.

I know.
I thought they were.

But I found out that
they're actually Mama P's.

You are the bright one.

Every curse
benefited Mama P.

The only one I couldn't
figure out was

the Rockbury Wolves
not winning a single game
last year.

She has a grudge against
the quarterback's mother.

Why didn't you warn us?

I did.

What part of
"You're dealing with
powerful forces

"you cannot control"
was unclear?

I guess it's
how you said it.

The story of my life.

I'm not a good
communicator.

Mama P is cooking
a huge spell.

She says it's to help
Grandma Quinn,

but I don't believe her.

Please help me stop her.

Magic cost me
too much already.

Learn from me.
Stay away from it.

I don't understand.

You're the only one
of the three friends
who isn't cursed.

Is that what you think?

Follow me.

Are you going to play?

Find middle C.

[plays note]

B flat.

[plays note]

[sighs]

[no sound]

This is my curse,
Hannah.

When I play
outside my house,

no one can hear me.

Mama P did this to you?

The thing I loved most
in the world,

she took away.

I'm so sorry.

This is what
you're up against.

I believe that good
always has to fight evil.

And I think you
believe that, too.

I know you're the one
who donated the piano
to our school.

So don't tell me
you don't care.

[groaning]

I've never had
thumb cramps before.

I've been
switching hands.

We have to keep going.

The festival's
tomorrow morning,

and we've still got
at least pluots
to baste.

We can't stop.

[dog barking]

Hi, Mr. O'Brien.
It's Kelly.

Just wanted you to know
that Darbie's

spending the night
over here.

Why am I calling?

Good question.

It's because we don't
talk enough. Bye.

Hey, Mom.

You've ruined
an entire load
of laundry.

Oops.

Look at Dad's sock.

Where is Mr. Quinn?

Mr. Quinn?

I mean, Scott-- Dad.

Been reading a lot of
Jane Austen lately.

They're very formal.
Mother.

Okay, sit down.

We need to talk.

[sighs]

Where's my Kelly?

- Um--
- Where's my wonderful,
reliable Kelly?

The one I never
had to worry about.

I'm the same old Kelly.

Kelly, Kelly, Kelly.

You've been
so secretive lately.

I feel like you're
shutting me out.

You know, you used to
tell me everything.

I'm sorry. I should
talk to you more often.

I promise I'll go back to
the Kelly you know real soon.

Real soon.

I'm gonna
hold you to that, kiddo.

[sighs]

- Kelly: Hello?
- How much longer?

A while.
How is it being me?

You better hurry.

I'm making
a lot of promises

that you're
gonna have to keep.

Oh, and you're mom's
pretty cool, you know?

Go easy on her.

Mama P.

Can I take this to
my Grandma right now?

No, honey, that's not
how it works.

She can't eat
the first bite

until the entire recipe
is done.

No, I'm telling you.
It all makes sense.

I've studied every curse
in the book of victims,

and they all led back
to only one person.

- Mama P?
- Yes.

Miss Silvers isn't
the evil one.

It's Mama P.

She's the one
who's been cursing people.

I knew it!
I never trusted her.

I think she's going to
use the pluots

to break her own curse.

I've tried
warning Kelly,

but she's ignoring
all my calls.

Mrs. Quinn: Kelly.
Is someone over?

No, Mom.
Course not.

We've gotta get to Mama P's
to warn Kelly.

But I'm grounded.

You're not Kelly.

[cell phone chimes]

Oh, no. Hailey
just discovered I'm out.

She's going to
tell my parents.

Guess we'll all
be grounded.

You should go home.

Kelly won't
talk to you anyway.

You sure?

It's gotta be me.

Here you go.

It's hard to imagine
that what's in this
little box

will bring my grandmother
back to me.

We're not done just yet.

Remember, the curse
won't be broken

until she eats
the last pluot.

Mama P, I can't
thank you enough

for what you've done
for us.

[sighs]

Kelly.

I have been worried sick.
Where were you?

I can explain everything.

After I go see Grandma.

No, you're explaining
everything now.

You snuck out of
the house? Really?

I was this close to
calling the police.

I can't deal with this
right now.

I have to go give this
to Grandma.

No. Up to your room.
Now!

[urgent knocking]

[door bell jingles]

Kelly, what are you
doing here?

[sighs]

You're either gonna
talk to me and tell me
what's going on,

or you're gonna be grounded
for a very long time.

You wouldn't
believe me anyway.

Don't you pull
that card with me.

And don't even think about
leaving this room.

[door closes]

Did you forget something?

You gotta get that pluot
back to your grandmother.

Yes, but I wanted to
take some with me

for the rest of
the family.

Get a jump on
eating these bad boys.

Drop the pluots, Kelly.

[grunts] Let go of me.
I'm not Kelly.

I'm Darbie, Darbie, Darbie.

I thought so.

Walk In My Shoes
Schnitzel.

I used to use that a lot
when I was your age.

I know what your plan is.

You're gonna
steal the spell
for yourself.

I'm not gonna let you eat
the first bite.

Try stopping me.

I'm calling Kelly.

No, you're not!

[banging]

Help!

Help! Help!
Let me out!

[door opens]

Not now, Buddy.

I heard you and Mom
arguing.

Come on, Grandma.
Kelly has something
for you.

Thanks, Buddy.

Here, Grandma.

I have something
special for you.

You get the first bite.

[door bell jingles]

Darbie: Help! Help!

Somebody help me!
I'm back here!

Help!

Help.
