- Dad told me that Mom'’s a witch.

- What? That'’s ridiculous.

Mom'’s not a witch.

- I know, but what if she is?

- Then she'’s been lying to me

for as long as I'’ve known her.

- Well, somebody'’s not telling the truth.

I just don'’t know which one it is.

- I don'’t know.

I do know!

We get them in a room together

and ask them both, face-to-face.

- In a room together...

face-to-face.

Brilliant!

- No. Gifted, yes.

But brilliant? Okay, probably.

- Not you. Me.

- Okay, let'’s see that report card, big talker.

- I know which one of them is lying!

- Don'’t leave me hanging. Who?

- Mom.

- How do you know it'’s Mom?

- "How do you know it'’s Mom," what?

How do you know I'’m what?

[tense music]

♪

You know what?

It is recess time.

- What, really?

- But just a quick recess.

I want to lie down for a few minutes.

I didn'’t sleep so well last night.

But when I get back, it'’s animal science time.

- Eat this, you pesky penguins!

- Shh.

- I thought you went to school.

- Do you remember when you said that

we should get them in a room together?

Well, they were in a room together,

when Dad was stuck in a trap.

- Yeah, so?

Why didn'’t he say anything about Mom?

- Because he couldn'’t.

He was trying to explain it to us,

but he just couldn'’t talk.

- Isn'’t that part of the trap?

- No, I'’ve been in those things so many times before--

- Really?

Even more than the ones in the house?

- Yeah. I mean, I used to be a little bit of a rebel.

- Cool!

- Yeah, it was.

I mean, no.

That'’s not the point.

The point is, is that

when you'’re in one of those traps,

you can'’t cast spells,

you can'’t move,

but you can talk.

- So what are you saying?

- That Mom cast a spell on him to keep him quiet.

She just doesn'’t want him to bust her.

And then she asked Emma to cast a Protective Bubble

around our house?

How does she even know what that is?

- Maybe she heard the Van Pelts talking about it.

They seem like bubble people.

- Has Mom told you the story

of when she ran away from home in the middle of the night?

- Yeah, she tried to bring the both of us,

but you woke Dad up.

- Right, but she still had enough time

to get you out of the house,

into the garage, load up the car,

and then get you out of the garage

before Dad even did anything about it?

When all he had to do was cast a spell?

- Yeah, but I still don'’t think--

- I never said anything about taking the car.

I could have had a taxi waiting.

But you'’re right.

Getting out of the house would'’ve been

quite difficult for me if I wasn'’t a witch.

- Mom! So it'’s true?

Are you really a witch?

- Well, you suspect I am.

So, yes.

Yes, I am.

- Have any of you heard from Daniel?

He'’s supposed to be here by now,

but he'’s not answering any of my texts.

- No, not since last night.

- Don'’t worry, guys. He'’ll be here.

- [groaning]

- What happened to him?

- He had a little trouble with riding.

- A motorcycle?

A bike? A horse?

- In a car.

- I do not understand what I did wrong.

I simply opened the door

and stepped out.

- I already told you.

You have to wait for the car to stop.

- Her days as the Chosen One are numbered.

When she'’s gone, there'’ll be a vacuum

at the center of the Realm.

Control of it will go to the strongest family.

That will be us.

- What do you mean, her days are numbered?

What are you planning?

This is my girlfriend we'’re talking about.

- And my friend-friend.

- She'’s doing most of it all by herself,

and soon it will be done.

I only need to know if you'’re on board.

I can'’t just abandon her, Mom.

- She is too dangerous, Jax.

She'’ll destroy herself and everyone around her,

which means you and your family.

We can rule, as a family.

A lot will rest on your shoulders, Jax,

especially until Jessie gets her powers.

So?

What do you say?

I always knew I was destined for greatness.

and somebody slams on the brakes,

and everyone inside keeps moving.

- Ooh!

I love that feeling!

- Okay, a car only goes, say, miles per hour.

And the Earth is moving , miles per hour.

Emma, if you try to spin it backwards,

everything will be destroyed.

Proven by science.

Drop the mic!

- Oh, okay.

Thank you, Katie.

Uh, now...Aggie.

- Being the Chosen One

comes with more than just great power.

It comes with great responsibility.

You seem to have forgotten that,

but I don'’t blame you.

who think not of a greater duty.

The destructive humans!

Back me up, humans.

Why would I do that?

Now tell me again.

Who were you calling?

I had to warn her.

The book-- the Conjurepedia,

the Tambian Orb, they were all part of your plan, weren'’t they?

You got your father'’s good looks,

but you got my brains.

- How are you gonna overthrow her?

- There'’s only way I can defeat the Chosen One.

If she'’s powerless,

as she'’ll be when she places her powers

in the Tambian Orb.

- Wait, the Orb can'’t even turn back time?

- Of course it can,

but Emma won'’t get a chance.

By then, her powers and those she stole

will all be mine.

You have a very important decision

to make, Jax.

Will you join me?

You'’ll be a king of your people.

I was only being nice when I offered

to let you rule with Jessie.

Everyone knows it'’s truly the witches who are in charge.

Jessie! Come back!

- Look at my face.

What do you see?

- Maddie?

- Closer!

Under my eyes.

Bags.

This is the face of someone who doesn'’t have the power

to make herself look fresh and well-rested at all times.

- I should'’ve chosen a select few to talk.

- And I don'’t have that power because you stole it from me!

- You know, you could just actually be well-rested.

- But...

Okay, that'’s not the point!

You stole my powers.

Now give them back!

I promise.

Just not yet.

There'’s one more person left.

I get why you wanna bring your mom back.

And nothing any of us say

can change that feeling inside you.

You get it.

and you don'’t destroy the world or yourself.

What happens next?

Like you do.

Like you all do.

You know how much I would give

to have my life back at the Everglades.

Seriously, the Everglades?

so I can only imagine how much you miss your mom.

to alter time and space to make me happy,

Hey, does anybody have a first period class?

'’Cause I know I do.
