Dylan

Why are you so obsessed with Halloween? I mean, it's just like Mom says: It gives little kids dumb ideas about there being magic. Like that helps them prepare for life. Personally, give me a good nature documentary any day.

[sarcastically]

Halloween is cool, nature boy. I mean, it's exciting, strange and ancient. Plus, Mom and Dad met on Halloween.

Dylan

Shh! What are you trying to do? You know how talking about Dad always bums Mom out, I mean, why can't you pick some other holiday to get hung up on, like Arbor Day? Trees are important too, you know.

Grandma, it was Kalabar.

What?

[On the stairs leading to the City Hall, Kalabar stands up and stares at the Cromwells] [angrily points at him]

So it was you?!

[gently pushes Sophie aside]

Why, Kalabar?

You could've had me, the most powerful warlock of all. And you could've ruled with me as my queen, but you chose a human instead!

Well, it turns out she was a pretty good judge of character.

Your days of rule are at an end, Kalabar.

[waves a finger]

Don't underestimate me, Agatha. Ha! [summons the talisman from inside the statue and catches it as he laughs maniacally] Now my darkness will spread unchecked, and I'll be the ruler of both worlds! [laughs maniacally again as Aggie pulls out her wand and chants a spell to the talisman, followed by Gwen who holds her hand] Don't waste your energies, witches! Your precious talisman is nothing more…

Dylan
[glares at Kalabar]

Man, that jerk! I'd like to… I'd like to…

[looks down to see blue light glowing from her brother's fingers as Kalabar laughs offscreen]

Dylan!

Dylan

What?

It looks like we've added another witch to the family. Or should I say warlock.

…like a dark shadow…

Dylan
[looks at his glowing fingers]

No way! I don't have any powers, I'm a normal one in the family.

[looks at Kalabar]

Hey, Chocolate Bar! You better give that talisman back or you're in big trouble!

You half-human brat! Do you think your magic is any match for mine?

Hmm, no. But let's see my powers, and my mom's, my grandmother's, my sister's, and my brother's might do it. Hit it, guys.

[Holding their hands, the Cromwells, except Dylan, close their eyes and hum. Kalabar laughs when he sees nothing happening to the talisman still in his hands]

Silly witches, you Cromwells have failed! [laughs maniacally]

[opens her eyes to Dylan, whispering]

Come on, Dylan, we need you. Believe.

[Sophie opens her hand for Dylan, who takes it. They continue to hum as light shines brightly from the orb on the talisman in Kalabar's hands]

No! No! [The orb's light glows more] No!!!!! [The light engulfs him, and as he disappears, the talisman flies back into Aggie's hand]

Oh! The talisman!
[The citizens cheer and the Cromwell kids jump in celebration]
