Plot[]
The girls try to run from Mama P, but she locks the door before they get the chance. She tells the girls that she knows what they need, and offers them to have a seat a table. Mama P makes them cookies with Merwaldian White Cocoa Nibs to reverse the spell the girls were under. The girls hesitantly eat the cookies after Mama P explains what they're for. Afterwards, the girls start bombarding Mama P with questions.
Mama P explains she sent the cocoa nibs over to lessen the effect of the Cedronian Vanilla they bought. Darbie asks if they could take some cookies home to help Kelly's parents, and she agrees. Kelly continues asking questions.
Mama P says that she had two best friends, Becky and Gina. It changed after the cookbook came into their lives. When they took a field trip into the Cedros Forest, they met the Traveler who gave them the book. The Traveler warns them of the magic, saying they'd be closer together, or driven apart. The three swore the book would never come between them.
When Kelly asks what happened, as the three of them are clearly apart, Mama P says that Gina couldn't handle the magic, and used it for her personal gains. When Mama P tried to stop her, Gina cursed her. Mama P hasn't been able to leave Saffron Falls since.

Kelly asks if Gina cursed her grandma. Mama P says that she doesn't believe even Gina could be capable of doing that. But she does say she will help the girls reverse the curse. The girls don't believe her, especially after she stole the cookbook. Mama P explains she was desperate to undo her curse, but the book no longer works for her. With that, she lets the girls go home.
The next morning, Kelly thinks Mama P is telling the truth, while Hannah thinks she is lying. In order to make sure they can trust Mama P, they decide to make Mind Peering Peppermints so they can read into Grandma Quinn's mind. However, they need Galifrazian Syrup and Livonian Peppermint Oil, which they must get from Mama P. Mama P gives them the spices, and Jake walks in not knowing Mama P is helping them, which makes it
☀awkward . Mama P tells the girls to be careful with the Livonian peppermint oil, as it is very rare and her only bottle. They make the Mind Peering Peppermints and are able to read each other's minds. They try to read Grandma's mind, but her thoughts seem to be oddly scrambled together until they hear her think "I'm still here, Kelly". Then they go to try to read Mama P's mind, and it seems like they can trust her. They also try to read Ms. Silver's mind, unsuccessfully. Darbie's dad comes to pick her up, and she reads his mind and learns that he lost his job. The girls then get him an interview for a job at their school. They attempt to make another batch of Mind Peering Peppermints, but Darbie accidentally knocks over the bottle of Livonian peppermint oil. The girls get into a fight but then remember the traveler's warning-- that the book can tear them apart if they are not careful.
Kelly's Grandma then walks into the kitchen, and she is able to talk. Kelly is overjoyed. Grandma then tells her to stop using magic. Kelly replies that she was only trying to help her, then asks how she was able to talk again. Grandma replies that it was the Peppermint Mixture she ate in the kitchen. Suddenly Grandma's face turns blank, and she can't talk anymore. They want to give her more of the mixture, but Kelly's Dad cleaned the bowl.
The girls watch in defeat as Grandma rocks in her rocking chair, knowing that they lost an opportunity to cure her of the curse.
