(The episode opens with a recap of part 1, including meeting Mrs. Cauldron and her niece, Abigail, the story of Varicella, and Garfield running after Odie, who got turned into a bat by Abigail. Part 2 opens where part 1 left off, with Garfield in Mrs. Cauldron's living room trying to rescue Odie by using a magic spell book to follow where Abigail took him)
Garfield: (reading) "Grab hold of a broomstick before speaking the following magic words: Voscribia crypteris depidfarix!" (He grabs Mrs. Cauldron's broom, which was sweeping the living room. But when he recites the words, nothing happens) It doesn't seem to be working.
Magic Book: It isn't "depidfarix", it's repidfarix! (Just then, Mrs. Cauldron walks in and sees Garfield with her book)
Mrs. Cauldron: Cat, what are you doing in here?
(Panicked, Garfield screams and leaps out a window, book in one hand and broom in the other. He runs outside and recites the words)
Garfield: Voscribia crypteris repidfarix!
(The portal opens up, and the broomstick gets attracted to it like a paperclip to a magnet. Garfield, who is still holding on to it, gets taken along for the ride, screaming and spinning as he flies. He almost flies into a car but the broom evades it at the last second)
Mrs. Cauldron: (while riding a vacuum cleaner) My magic book! No one steals my magic book! (Garfield tries to balance upright on the broom, but it slams into the top a light pole. He is catapulted in front of another car before the magic book swoops in and catches him before he can hit the pavement. Mrs. Cauldron remains in pursuit) Buckle up, Raven! It's going to be a bumpy ride!
(The book spins and drops Garfield back onto the broom. He screams and whoops as it takes him above the neighborhood, between buildings in the city, and even near the TV station's antenna... which the witch flies into, knocking her off her vacuum. She grabs the plug on the vacuum and resumes the chase)
Garfield: (now sitting on the broom) You know, this is actually kind of fun once you get the hang of it. (He screams and spins as the witch shoots lightning from her wand at him. He turns around at the angry witch) Except for that part, and maybe the "crashing to earth" part! (He calls to Mrs. Cauldron) Sorry to borrow your book, but I need it! My friend Odie's gone batty on me! (Mrs. Cauldron takes another shot at the terrified feline, and he looks on either side of the broom for something) Where's the gas petal on this thing? (He looks forward and realizes he is about to fly into a plane. He screams before he is nabbed by Mrs. Cauldron, avoiding the plane. He laughs in relief and looks up at the witch, who chuckles back at him, but before she can get too far, she flies into a UFO, which causes her to lose her grip on the fat cat. Not to be deterred, she recoups and speeds after him, the Raven beside her all the way) Whoa, that was hairy! I really need to shake that angry witch! (He flips through the book, which he never lost during the chase)
Magic Book: (flipping through its pages) I just happen to know the perfect spell! Allow me.
Garfield: (reading the page) "Oogala boo blee bomba boo! (He addresses the audience) Boy, that sounds like something Jon made for dinner one night. Hey, huh? (After his smart remark, bubbles start appearing out of the book and float toward Garfield's pursuer)
Mrs. Cauldron: Nooooo! (The bubbles trap her, the Raven, and the vacuum within them)
Garfield: That's Garfield one, Mrs. Cauldron, nothing! (He flies toward the vortex)
Raven: Nevermore!
Mrs. Cauldron: Really?! Garfield steals my magic book and leaves us stranded in this magic bubble and all you can say is "Nevermore"? What's wrong with you?!
Raven: My shrink says I have "abandonment issues".
Mrs. Cauldron: For 1,000 years, this magic book has been under my protection! If someone were to use its magic for their own selfish needs, SHE would get out!
Raven: And the world would be... NEVERMORE! Caw! (They float down toward the surface, Mrs. Cauldron screaming angrily as she does)
(Meanwhile, Garfield is travelling on the broomstick through the vortex. He whimpers as lightning strikes around him before he gets struck by it. He screams and spins before he finally passes through to the other side of the portal and reaches Abigail's school. It resembles a castle on a floating island, while a second smaller floating island sits nearby connected to the first one by a bridge. On the bottom of the first island, an upside-down castle tower stands against the clouds below)
Garfield: The School of Witchery and Witchcraft! (he speaks to the audience) That's where Mrs. Cauldron's niece took Odie right after turning him into a bat! (He floats above it and catches a whiff of something) Either a witch's having a barbecue nearby.... or my broomstick's on... (he turns around and sees what has happened) FIRE! (He releases the book, which flies next to him, and runs back and forth on the broom panicking and screaming) FIRE! (He sees the book and gets an idea) Ooh... (He reaches and grabs the book, trying to use it as a fan to extinguish the flames)
Magic Book: Don't you DARE burn my book!
Garfield: Sorry, but this is an emergency! (The fire turns almost all the broom into ash. Only the top of the handle, where Garfield stands on, remains intact. He tells the audience...) Now would be an appropriate time to panic. (Gravity kicks in and he falls. Screaming, he slips off the top off one of the tower roofs and tries clinging to it with his claws. He looks down at the drop before him, still holding the book in the hand)
Magic Book: Use one of the spells, you idiot!
Garfield: Sorry, lady, or whatever you are, but it's too late to play hocus-pocus! (One by one his fingers lose their grip on the roof before he finally loses his grip and plummets toward the ground. Screaming, he lands on a gargoyle in the most painful way possible. He turns to the audience, cringing quite hard, and speak to it again.) Please note, I'm doing all of my own stunts for this show. We don't use any of those cheap CGI effects.
Magic Book: (freeing itself from the tubby tabby's grip) Fool! You're gonna get us both killed! (Garfield grabs it and screams as it flies him through a window and crashes onto a flight of stairs)
Garfield: (Groaning, to the audience) Oh, safe. (After he says this, several witches-in-training storm downstairs, stomping the poor pussycat in the process) Not safe. (He peeks down a hallway, still remembering the reason for coming) Odie? Odie? Where are you?
Magic Book: Knock on every door... hoping you'll get lucky?
Garfield: (slamming the book shut) Yeah, book lady, that's EXACTLY what I'm gonna do, unless you have a BETTER idea. (He opens several doors. Behind the first one is a dragon which breathes smoke at him, the second door hides a creature with large tentacles, the the thing behind the third door just makes disgusting sounds. All three of them freak out the feline, who promptly screams after opening each door before closing it quickly. He runs down the hallway and returns to the stairs to catch his breath. The book floats away from his paw)
Magic Book: All you have to do is wish for it out loud.
Garfield: Help me find Odie. (The book floats down the hallway and stops in front of a large wooden door, different than the other doors. Garfield follows, exhausted, and the book drops into his paws) Thanks, I think. (He peeks in to what turns out to be the witches' classroom) Odie? Where are you? Odie? (he notices a number of birdcages in the corner of the room) Huh?
Snake: What are you sssstaring at?
Cat: Aren't you a little too FAT to be a familiar?
Garfield: (walking toward the cages) Zip it, all of you! I'm trying to find my dog... er... my bat!
Odie: Bark!
Garfield: Odie! Let me get you outta here! (He opens Odie's cage. The dog-turned-bat, happy to see his best friend, starts slurping Garfield's head) Hold your tongue, pup! I'm trying to get you outta here. (He hears something, and he turns toward the door) Huh? (A bunch of students storm into the classroom. Garfield takes cover behind the cages, and Odie returns to his cage. They notice who the teacher of the class is: Winona Cauldron, who walks in front of a floating chalkboard)
Odie: Mutters
Garfield: Of COURSE you recognize her! That's Mrs. Cauldron's other niece, Winona! She's the one who wanted to marry Jon!
Odie: Mutters
Garfield: No, I think that was in season 3.
(A song begins)
Winona: Hey, if a witch you want to be
you must learn some things from me.
How to make all ugly cute,
(Various potion-making supplies along with a table float in front of the class before coming to rest)
How to purchase eye of newt,
How to learn the witch's code,
(She teleports around the room a couple of times)
How to make a prince a toad,
(She sprinkles something into a cauldron, only for the concoction to explode and cover her face with ash)
How to change the temperature,
(She and three other versions of her clean a floating cauldron)
How to make a magic cure,
(Books spin around her before she turns into a chicken. Her class laughs at this)
Oh for sure!
(She sits in a floating chair)
If you want a life of riches,
Cackling like the other witches,
You will like like all the birds
If you know the magic words!
(More magic books fly above the class, much to their amazement)
All the magic wonders you've ever seen
(She and her class start dancing)
Being where each evening is Halloween
Being why the flowers bloom
(She drinks something, which is so gross it turns her face a sickly green, disgusting her students)
Riding high on your broom
Achieving all you want to be
Abracadabra now repeat with me!
(She floats on her broom)
Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra!
(Her students wave their wands)
All the magic wonders you've ever seen
(They fly outside on their brooms before returning back inside where they do different things, from flying to reading to experimenting with ingredients)
Being where each evening is Halloween
Being why the flowers bloom
Riding high on your broom
Achieving all you want to be
Abracadabra now repeat with me!
Abracadabra, Abracadabra, Abracadabra!
(Her students wave their wands)
Winona: Alright, class, today we're gonna do a pop quiz. Get your magic wands out, and each of you go retrieve your familiar.
Class: Yes, Ms. Winona. (They wave their wands, and each student gets her own familiar. Garfield sees Odie's cage float above him and he leaps up to grab it)
Garfield: Huh? Oh! Whoa! (He and Odie land on Abigail's desk)
Abigail: Hey, what are YOU doing here?
Garfield: I'd be happy to tell ya if you could understand what I say.
Winona: Each of you, you're gonna turn your familiar into a... teacup.
Class: Ooooh. (One student raises her hand)
Hermione: Ms. Winona, is that for extra credit?
Winona: Yes, Hermione. (A teacup with steam rising from it levitates into her hand.) You all have three minutes. (Which, is approximately how much time is left in the cartoon. An hourglass is used to time the witches-to-be)
(The students use their wands and try to turn their animals into the required teacup. For some students, nothing changes, for others, they did change their animals but not to the right objects. Abigail shakes her cage to try to get Garfield to let go of it)
Garfield: (a bit dazed) Wha...?
Abigail: Fine! Let's see how long you can keep this up once I've changed you into a teacup!
Garfield: (Chuckles) I've never really cared much for tea. How about you turn me into lasagna so I can eat myself silly.
Abigail: Razzle-Frazzle-Freen! (Purple smoke appears, and Garfield is turned into a mule)
Garfield: Hee-haw! Hee-haw!
(One of Abigail's classmates notices what she did)
Student: Look, Abigail turned her familiar into a mule! (She points and laughs, a few other students join her. Abigail simply glares at her)
Garfield: (Sigh) I feel... Hee-haw! Hee-haw! different, and... Hee-haw! rather stubborn.
Abigail: Oh, I did that wrong.
Winona: Silence! Two minutes left!
(The Magic Book, which Garfield still had in his paw before turning into a mule, begins speaking to Abigail)
Magic Book: I believe the spell you're looking for is on page 53.
Abigail: Ooh... wouldn't that be cheating? (She picks up the book, a bit skeptical of the idea, before closing it. But after second thoughts, she decides to use it) Ok. (she flips through the book and finds the spell) Zippety-zing! (Magic power emits from her wand and transforms Garfield into a teacup with eyes. Garfield mumbles and hops around on the floor as it is rather hard to speak without a mouth)
(The last of the sand from the hourglass drains)
Winona: Time's up! Wands down, ladies!
Class: Awwwww....
(Winona goes from student to student, examining their work. One has a ball of yarn, another has only shrunk her familiar, and a third has a potted plant. When she comes to Abigail's work, and Garfield the teacup, she is a bit surprised. Abigail chuckles, trying to be inconspicuous)
Winona: Excellent work, Abigail. I'm giving you an A.
Abigail: A? I've never gotten an A before!
Odie: Mutters angrily (Abigail gives him a dirty look as Winona inspects another student's work: a frog-turned-candle that catches flies with its tongue/wick)
Abigail: Now that I'm an accomplished witch, let's try something a little... bigger. Zippety-Zing! (Garfield rises into the air and is transformed into an elephant, much to everyone's surprise. He lets out a bellowing trumpet)
Garfield: (Laughs nervously, and speaking to the audience) Did that come out of me?
Winona: (Sigh) Abigail, what part of "put your wand down" did you not understand? I told you...
Abigail: (now sitting on the floor with Odie next to her, still in his cage) Zippety-Zang! (Garfield then shoots a steam of water from his trunk onto Winona. The class laughs at this prank)
Winona: Alright, first put him back the way he was.
Abigail: Ish-kebable! (Garfield turns back into his old self)
Garfield: Yippee! I'm me again, and I weigh less!
Winona: I'm really disappointed in you, Abigail, both as my student and my cousin.
Abigail: I'm sorry, Winona. I didn't mean to...
Winona: You're gonna stay after class and write 50 times "I will not use magic carelessly", and then I want you to clean up all this mess... without resorting to any magic.
Abigail: Yes, Winona.
Odie: Whimpers
Abigail: Oh... (She turns and gives a sad look at the bat before turning away again and sadly leaving)
Odie: Howls and cries softly
(He watches the witch walk away and the episode ends)
