CECE: Last season on Spellbound...
I'm Cece Parker-Jones.
I'm a student at the Paris Opera Ballet School.
Yep, I'm living the dream.
I'm also a witch.
We're called Wizens.
Last year, I faced our family's nemesis,
called the Mystics.
- Drain her. Then get out of there.
I'll be watching, little brother.
CECE: I also discovered my roommate Mia is a Wizen, too.
- Oh, punch is enchanted.
Mia won't remember a thing.
CECE: It's been a blast, but truth--
I really hope this year has way less magic drama,
so I can just focus on dance.

I need to round up the coven.
This is an emergency.

It's been happening all week, ever since I got back to Paris.
And I can't control it.
- It's evolving.
Pack your bags.
- Mom, no.
- And what? Run?
- I don't know. I don't know.
This is why I put the protection spell on you.
Because if your magic was never activated,
the Mystic could never find you.
- But they did!

- We make sure the Wizen in her is ready.
We wrap her in Wizenness.

Girls, you remember Bash, our houseguest.

Hello, Cece.

Just some Wizen girl talk.
You know how it is.
- I do. I've got six Wizen sisters.
My mom's North Elder.
I get it. Believe me.
Anyway, I didn't hear what you were talking about, so--
I just had to rescue some abandoned pancakes.
- The pancakes! Oh, no.
- Yeah, you know you're supposed to flip
those little bad boys, right?
- This whole morning is ruined!
- Absolutely-- not.
Did Ginger not tell you I'm training to be a chef?
I couldn't just stand there and watch them char, so I got you.

We had such romantic time at the spotlight workshop

He looks so cute.

- I will, actually.
She's with Simone right now. - Actually?
- Yes.
- I told you, I tried in London.
He always made it about dance.
I thought we had a real connection,
but our trip was pretty lame in the romance department.
- Oh.
- Maybe we were just better off as dance partners.
- Well, that leaves room for that cute Bash.
Just saying.
- Cece and I had dinner alone together every night.
She loves dance so much, I made every moment
about ballet so she knew I was paying
attention to what she likes.
- He showed me dance videos literally
every night over dinner.
I mean, I love a good dance vid, but what about dinner
and an actual movie or a trip to the London Eye?

And now I just battled Kevin and won.
So I'm gonna ask you one more time.
How come I can hear people's thoughts every time
I touch this thing?
LIZZIE: Why didn't I listen to Ginger
and raise her as a Wizen?
Why did I hide it?
I have to fix this.
GINGER: I told her to come clean from the get-go.
