- An Unforgettable Experience
E2Episode 2An Unforgettable ExperienceMs. Cosey, who we all remember from Let Them Eat Cake, has been taken ill, and Miss Cackle, benevolent soul that she is, sends Mildred, Maud, Ethel and Drusilla to help her out for the weekend. For the very same weekend, the rest of the third years are subjected to Miss Drill's outdoor survival training (which involves face paint, and lots of running). Ethel, being Ethel, takes charge of everyone as soon as they arrive at the tearoom (Ms. Cosey has popped off to see the doctor) and everyone grumbles about how she's not pitching in to help clean up. Ethel gets to talking with Drusilla, and they discuss how stupid looking to tearoom is. Ethel blasts it (you're not supposed to use magic in the tearoom, donchaknow) and makes it look really cool. Then she blasts her classmates and makes them look really cool (and they do look very nice). All of that is just in time for a group of Japanese tourists to show up at the door. Miss Hardbroom, meanwhile, lures Miss Cackle off in the direction of t - Which Witch is Which
E3Episode 3Which Witch is WhichRuby, in all her technoness is repairing an old pinball machine that she swiped from Mr. Blossom's garbage. Just as she finishes, Fenella and Griselda arrive with a way to set an alarm in DOBS so that they know when someone shows up. They set the alarm, and Miss Drill sets it off, coming to ask for volunteers to climb a ""steep hill"" with her. Everyone buries their faces in their books until she mentions that they can stop off at Coseys on the way back. Miss Hardbroom, as usual, thinks Miss Drill's idea is really stupid, but Miss Cackle decides she wants to go along. ""But it's a hill,"" explains Miss Drill, ""a steep hill."" ""I am familiar with hills."" And that's that. Miss Cackle dresses up like some sort of poorly coordinated mountain climber, gets herself a flag, and makes an even more embarrassing display than Miss Drill is known to make, leading the girls off to the mountain. Fenny and Gris stay behind because they have a history project to research on how Lucy Fairweather (if you rem - Learning the Hard Way
E5Episode 5Learning the Hard WayIt's potions class and Drusilla turns into a tree. Ethel points out that the dangers of turning into a tree include getting chopped down, woodpeckers, etc... Miss Hardbroom asks how they would be able to tell which tree Drusilla was if they were in a forest. Mildred says she'd be the one that dropped a branch on them. HB doesn't think that's funny, and makes Mildred drink her tree-turning-into potion next. Mildred turns into something ""prickly and annoying"". HB tells the class that they're getting a student teacher from Weird Sister's College named Gabrielle Gribble. Not too long later, the staff discuss the new student teacher, and Miss Cackle says that Gabrielle's last assignment didn't go too well, and that, as a favor to the college, they're letting her have another go at Cackles. Miss Crotchet gracefully moves so that Miss Gribble can have the broken chair. Gribble arrives, and everyone but Miss Hardbroom leaves (because the bell rings). Gribble's late because of the up draft outs - Cinderella in BootsE8
Episode 8Cinderella in BootsCackle's Academy is staging a Pantomime for the Christmas season. Needless to say there is as much drama off-stage as there is on, and only with the help of a certain amount of magic does the whole production end as it should with Cinderella getting her Prince. - Power Drill

Bars and Gars watch her through a telescope and pretend they're airport control. They call HB the secret weapon when they see her. ""All is not well, mon capitain!"" Everyone runs over to see if Mildred's all right. She is. Cackle says that it's a good thing Mildred landed prematurely, because it reminded her that you should always greet wizards on foot. ""We witches sometimes have a clear advantage. Wizards aren't so good at flying."" They walk up to the castle and Hellibore makes an ostentatious entrance, calling his pupils forth and making them recite a lame poem that they all look suitably embarrassed to recite (particularly the ones that look to be nineteen or so??). Mildred and co. notice Charlie standing in their midst. They talk to him inside, and he explains, ""Miss Cackle knew how much I wanted to be a witch... I mean, wizard."" So she wrote to Hellibore and - The Lost Chord
