Ep 4. Just Add 1965

Just Add Magic is a show about three friends, Kelly, Darbie and Hannah, who discover a magical cookbook in Kelly's attic. The cookbook has the ability to grant wishes and each recipe comes with a spell. The girls use these recipes to solve mysteries and help people in their town of Saffron Falls.

Season 2, episode 4, Just Add 1965, begins with the girls getting a surprise visit from Mama P, a former member of the magical protectors' circle who has been missing for years. Mama P tells the girls that she needs their help to break a curse that was cast on her in 1965. The only way to break the curse is to find a special herb that grows in Saffron Falls, but only during a certain time of year.

The girls travel back in time to 1965 with the help of Mama P's magical portal. They arrive in the middle of a small town festival and quickly realize that they need to blend in to avoid suspicion. They change into 1960s clothes and head off to find the herb.

While searching for the herb, the girls meet a young Mama P and her two friends. They soon discover that they have been transported back to a time when Saffron Falls was deeply divided due to racism. Mama P and her friends are part of a group of African American teenagers who are fighting for their rights and protesting against segregation.

The girls are shocked by what they see and hear and realize that they are not just on a mission to break a curse, but also to help change history. They decide to use their magical powers to help Mama P and her friends in their fight for equality.

As the girls continue their search, they encounter many obstacles and challenges, including a group of teenagers who do not want to see Mama P and her friends succeed. They also learn more about the herb and its significance in breaking the curse.

Just when it seems like they might not be able to find the herb in time, Kelly has a brilliant idea. She uses one of the recipes in the cookbook to create a potion that will speed up the growth of the herb. The potion works and they are able to find the herb just in time to break the curse.

But, the girls are not done yet. They know that they need to help Mama P and her friends in their fight for equality. They use their magic to create a spell that brings the two rival groups together and makes them realize that they are not so different after all. The spell works and the town comes together to create a more inclusive community.

Just Add 1965 ends with the girls returning to the present day, feeling proud of what they were able to accomplish in the past. They also have a newfound appreciation for the power of magic and how it can be used to create positive change in the world.

Overall, Just Add 1965 is a heartwarming and inspiring episode that touches on important themes such as racism, inequality, and the power of friendship and magic. It showcases the girls' determination to help those in need and make a difference in the world.
