" [cawing]" " Previously on "Just Add Magic"..." " What is it?" " It's a cookbook." "My grandma's." "I need you to trust your instincts." "Trust your" "Grandma." "I just know that whatever is going on with Grandma has something to do with the book." "She's under a spell." "We need to keep cooking." "We have to save my grandma." "You take flour alone, it's tasteless, and you sure wouldn't want to eat a stick of butter." "[laughs]" "But when you blend them all together in just the right way, that's when the magic happens." "Mm." "And... chocolates, Madam?" "[laughs]" "Mmm." "Wait." "Don't we need these for the cookies?" "Oh, rule number one of baking:" "extra chocolate." "[laughs]" "Extra chocolate." "Extra chocolate." "**" "Hi, Grandma." "What'd the doctor say?" "Well, all of Grandma's tests came back normal." "Forget the tests." "She's obviously not okay." "We know, sweetie." "It's... a mystery." "But don't worry." "We won't give up." "We just need to keep looking for the right doctor to help her." "Yeah." "Okay?" "Extra chocolate." "Extra chocolate." "[laughs]" "Do you remember when we made these cookies?" "It was only four months ago." "I know you're in there, Grandma." "I promise you..." "I'm gonna figure this out." "**" "I can't believe it's only 10 a.m." "and I already need a nap." "Did you stay up to watch the little league championship from Tokyo, too?" "Mm, no." "I was up all night looking through the cookbook." "[sighs] It never ends." "That's how I felt about "The Count of Monte Cristo."" "No, I'm serious." "The book literally never ends." "I just kept flipping through the pages, and more just kept appearing." "Darbie:" "Whoa." "I mean, whoa." "Did you find out anything about Cedronian vanilla?" "It doesn't exist." "But I did learn a lot about cedar closets, vanilla and Vietnamese monkeys, which, FYI, have the tiniest noses ever." "How many times have I told you to stay off wikipedia?" "Well, I can't hang out after school." "Mr. Taneburg caught three people texting in class, and now I have a test on the American Revolution tomorrow." "Why are you worried?" "You're good in History." "Actually, you're good in every class." "I know, but it's not fair." "My phone was on silent because I actually read the student handbook." "You always freak out and you always do fine." "Come over after school and we'll help you study." "On one condition." "You have to buy me a granola bar." "I forgot my money." "Oh, that must be the new exchange student." "She's from Barcelona." "I heard she doesn't speak a word of English." "Of course." "That's why she's here." " To learn." " [giggling]" "Hola." "Me llamo Darbie." "Habla Español?" "Vale." "Me llamo Carmela de la Paz." "[speaks Spanish]" "Me llamo Darbie." "I wish I knew more than me llamo Darbie." "You know what I wish?" "That I could learn history without spending hours that I don't have studying." "Ooh, can I have a second wish?" "'Cause I wish I could teleport." "I wish I could read minds, and I'd start with Grandma." "If only we had a magical cookbook to help us." "I don't know about this, guys." "We said that we would only use the cookbook if it was absolutely necessary." " Hi, Grandma." " Hi, Mrs. Quinn." "What's up?" "[sighs] This is absolutely necessary." ""Jumping Jack Flapjacks."" ""Slow Caramel Turtles."" "How do we know which spell to use?" "Maybe if we concentrate, the book will show us." " [sighs]" " Well, that was a bust." "Maybe it's broken." ""Brain Boosting Bolognese"" "Brain boosting?" "Yes!" "Now I can definitely pass my test." "Sorry for doubting you." "I love Bolognese." "I think." "What is it?" "It's an Italian red sauce, and it's amazing." "Perfect." "You know I read that we only use 10 percent of our brain." "Imagine if we use the other 90 percent." "I can't." "I'm only using 10." "[laughing]" "Garlic, onions, tomato paste." "We need Livonian sage and Taurian thyme." "Hm." "I've never heard of those." "Neither has Wikipedia." "But there is a lot on the thymus, which is an organ in your immune system." " It says here that" " Focus." "Clearly, these are magical ingredients." "Which means another trip to Mama P's." "No way." "I mean, I get it." "She's sweet and kind and always super nice." "And her cookies are totally amazing." "But she gives me the creeps." "Good point." "Nobody is that awesome." "But look at her shop." "She's the only one who has all the ingredients." "Better point." "We have to go." "No, we don't." "We haven't even checked the grocery store." "Let me ask you a question." "What year was the battle of Bunker Hill?" " I don't know." " Neither do I, but it's gonna be on the test." "Let's go." "Oh." "[bell jingles]" "Hey, guys." "Oh, I'm glad you're here." "Okay, I just came up with the greatest business idea of all time." " You know how there" " That's great." "Maybe later." "We need-- [whispering] We need Livonian sage, and Taurian thyme." "Why are you whispering?" "[whispering] I'm not whispering." " Livonian what?" " Shh!" "I've never heard of those." "Are you sure you got it right?" "Yes." "Look here." "L-I-V" "Hey, Mama P, you ever heard of Livonian sage?" "Well, I've never seen a cookbook like that before." "It's my grandmother's." "Really?" "I bet it has some great recipes." "It looks like a very old book." "Well, her grandmother is a very old lady." "So, you're looking for Livonian sage, huh?" "What are you girls making this time?" "Nothing!" "You know." "Nothing." "They're also looking for Taurus something" "Taurian thyme?" "I have some in the back." "Wait here." "You guys okay?" "[sighs]" "Yeah, yeah, we're fine." "So, you were telling us about your new business." "Oh, right." "Okay, so you know about food trucks." "Right?" "I'm gonna open up a food bike." " Huh?" " You know, like a food truck." "But a bike." "You know, just for a few years until I'm old enough to get my license." "That's a great idea, Jake." "Mama P:" "Here you go." "That'll be $10, please." "Sorry, guys." "I forgot my money." "You always forget your money." "Uh, can I please get a receipt." "I like to keep track of my spending." "Remember, time is precious." "Use it wisely." "We will." "Thanks." "Do you think she was talking about time or... thyme?" "Does it matter?" "Either way, it's creepy." "[bell jingles]" "**" "The moment of truth." "Add one-fourth teaspoon of Livonian sage." "I don't get how this will boost our brains." "Pasta usually just makes me sleepy." "Sage is another word for smart person." "Add another pinch." "We need to be sage-er." "And now for Taurian thyme." "But it doesn't say how much." "Maybe thyme equals actual time." "But who's gonna pay the price?" "I don't think anyone." "Each spice has its own rule." "Look, there's a rhyme." "[reading]" ""Too much will leave you in a stew."" "Let's play it safe." "Who knows how powerful this stuff is." "Well, let's boost our brains." "[bubbling]" "Well, I'm not feeling any boost yet." "Maybe it takes time to work." "Well, I hope it kicks in soon, 'cause this telenovela makes no sense." "What are you doing?" "While we wait, we'll write down things we know about magic." "So we know nothing." "Clearly, this isn't working." "Unless you meant to draw a chicken, then it's really good." "It's not a chicken." "It's a hawk." "I better get going." "Looks like I have a long night of studying ahead of me." "Bye." "Hasta mañana, Kell." "That's all I got." "[door closes] [sighs]" "[sighs]" "[school bell rings]" "I can't believe how much we missed." "The book is filled with clues." "I counted up how many times Cedronian vanilla was used in the book, and so far I've come to 36 mentions, which, if you take the square root of that, is six." "Wow, what does that mean?" "I don't know yet, but it is definitely something." "Hey, guys." "So, who wants to test me on history?" "I'm guessing the spell worked for you, too." "I'm an expert on the American Revolution." "And I'm not talking the white-washed drivel in our textbooks." "Do you know what it was all about?" "Freedom?" "Ha!" "That's what they want you to believe." "But it was actually about power." "One man was responsible for it all." "The Earl of Butte." "He formed a secret cabinet in England, and was the real puppet master." "Wow." "You got this all last night?" "How long does it take?" "Connect the dots." "Hola, Carmela." "[speaking Spanish]" "Wow." "That's a lot more than me llamo Darbie." "I'm fluent." "You sounded so sophisticated." "What did you say?" "I told her it was pork chop day." "We're having lunch together." "This is the best spell ever." "Hi, there." "I'm Ida Perez." "I own Mama P's down the block." "Right." "The competition." "Oh, nonsense." "There's plenty of coffee to go around." "I just wanted to welcome you to the neighborhood." "I hope you will be here for a long, long time." "Thanks." "Me, too." "For some reason there's been a lot of turnover in this spot." "Oh, well, don't worry about that." "[laughs]" "I have a good feeling about you." "Ida." "I saw the book." "Becky's granddaughter has it." "Leave that girl alone." "Don't tell me what to do." "I'm going to get that book back." "These are terrific cookies." "I'm so glad you like them." "Enjoy your tea." "This place will be closed before you know it." "**" "[speaking Spanish]" "Thanks for coming down here on such short notice." "I thought this was something you should really see." "What did Buddy do now?" " This." " Is that the White House?" "Made of popsicle sticks." "Have you ever thought about putting Buddy in the gifted class?" "Teacher:" "The answer to number three." "Kelly?" "Kelly." " Kelly!" " Huh?" "I mean, yes?" "[laughter]" "The answer, if 3x and 4y equal" "Great idea." "I should apply algebra." "Finally a use for it." "[laughter]" "Kelly, this isn't like you." "Pay attention, please." "Of course." "Sorry, just tired." "Adam, number three." "Yes, Hannah." "Can I have more paper, please?" "If you need more space for your answer, just use the back." "I already have." "Better make it two." "Or four." ""The Great Gatsby."" ""El Gran Gatsby."" "Is a cautionary tale-- [speaking Spanish]" "About the decadent downside of the American dream." "[speaking Spanish]" "Darbie." "I think it's very sweet that you're translating." "But, number one, Carmela's here to learn English." "And, number two, it's disrupting the class." "Oh, okay." "I'm sorry." "[speaking Spanish]" "Kelly." "This is not a private school." "You can't just write on the walls." "Clean up this mess." "You've got detention." "This is a deeply layered question that you expect me to answer in the allotted time is the reason this country's educational system is failing our youth." "I've heard enough." "Detention." "[speaking Spanish]" " [giggling]" " Darbie." "For the last time, you have to stop speaking Spanish in my English class." "But it's so cool." "I've never known a secret language that no one understands." "Then speak it after class." "[speaking Spanish]" "I'm not lonely." "I only have three cats." "And, by the way, I speak Spanish." "You have detención." "So, this is detention, huh?" "Well, I guess there's a first time for everything." "I've never noticed how inferior our library is." "This is like mi casa away from casa." "What are those?" "Detention snacks." "The secret to survival is fuel and hydration." "Chewy fruit?" "Doesn't snacking normally get you sent to detention?" "It's a vicious cycle." "I don't get it." "My brain is going a million miles an hour, but I still haven't had a breakthrough." "What are you doing?" "[groans] I'm getting out of here." "Notice the air vent?" "As we all know, buildings constructed after 1960 must have air ducts connecting to exterior ventilation." "We take the duct leading to the gym, then we drop down in the girls locker room." "Are you nuts?" "Trust me, it's simple." "Using secret tunnels as a mode of escape goes back to the days of" "Uh-- What was I saying?" "Oh, no." "The spell just wore off." "Mine did, too." "Looks like a crazy person wrote this." "Carmela texted me." "[speaking Spanish]" "Yeah, I have no idea what that means." ""Xoxo."" "What a waste of a spell." "All boosting our brains did was get us in trouble." "I let Grandma down." "Don't say that." "Look, we're gonna figure this out." "Okay?" "Thanks." "Come on." "Let's put these boxes back." "Great." "Now we have more stuff to clean up." "Cool." "Old year books." "Hey, look." "1964." "My grandma was here then." "Is that your grandma?" "I don't believe it." "It's from 7th grade." "Look, there's a caption under the photo." ""The Three Musketeers."" "Rebecca Patterson, Gina Silvers... and Ida Perez." "That must be Mama P." "They were friends?" "I had no idea." "Grandma never mentioned her." "She barely even said hello to Mama P when we passed her in town." "Um, guys." "Look what's sticking out of Mama P's bag." "The cookbook." "But she acted like she's never even seen it before." "[camera shutter clicking]" "Why would Mama P lie?" "I'm confused." "How did you come up with this math equation?" "And what does the W stand for?" "Whipped cream?" "This whole thing makes no sense." "That spell was really strong." "Tell me about it." "I just got an invitation to speak at Oxford." "They liked my dissertation on the myths of the American Revolution." "You wrote that?" "Apparently." "It turns out the magic worked, just not in the way we thought it would." "It led us to the library." "I also found a clue." "When I re-read my notes," "I found one thing that made sense." ""Oigan twigen meiotic"?" "That made sense?" "It means "blend two pints of milk."" "In what language?" "It's not Spanish." " Is it?" " It's old English." "It's a recipe for posset, which is a hot drink using spices, and curdled goats milk." "Oh, that sounds disgusting." "Well, it was very popular." "In the Middle Ages." "Wait a minute." "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" "Yes." "This cookbook is at least 500 years old." "So your grandma didn't create the book." "[sighs] No." "It's way bigger than her." "We're not gonna figure this out tonight." "Like Grandma always says, there are no shortcuts." "Speaking of, I have a chemistry test tomorrow." "I was so focused on history that I ignored my other subjects" "I'm good at chemistry." "We can help you study." "Yeah, I have the perfect recipe to insure you ace it." "No!" "Kelly, no more spells." "Banana bread." "Relax." "My mom bought this at the market." "[giggling]" "I told you Buddy had a gift." "We just needed to be patient to find it." "Wait 'til that Doreen Nagle hears about this." "Bet it wipes that smug look right off her face." "Not that that matters." "[laughs] [growling] I am the underwear monster." "And I am crushing the Eiffel Tower!" "[roaring]" "Oh!" "Uh-- [roaring]" "[roaring]" "Hmm." "[roaring]" "Maybe we should put a pin in this gifted thing." "Good idea." "[dog barking]" "[sighs]" "[bell jingles]" "I'm just getting a coffee, Mom." "Okay." "Come on in." "I'll be really quick." "Hi, Scott." "How are you, Becky?" "We're on our way to the doctor for more tests." "How's she doing?" "No change, unfortunately." "Well, don't worry." "I'm sending good thoughts." "That's very sweet, Mama P." "Go get your coffee, I'll watch her." "Oh, thanks." "I'll be right back." "I see you didn't get rid of the book." "One way or another, I'm going to get it back." "**"
