Cyberchase
Spellbound: Act 1
Clip: Season 7 Episode 7 | 8m 49sVideo has Closed Captions
Wicked casts a spell on the Pompadorians to make them all adore her.
When Wicked casts a spell on the Pompadorians to make them all adore her, Jackie and Digit must reproduce the only symbol that can break it - without being able to see the symbol. Matt and Inez can't get to Pompadoria to help, so they describe the symbol through their Skwak. But how can they describe the odd-looking spell-breaker accurately so Jackie can make a reproduction that works?

Running in the Cyberchase We meet him face to face We'll stick together all the time Adventures in cyberspace The chase is on!
C-y-b-e-r-chase!
Fellow citizens, I've just learned that Hacker is once again planning trouble for our beloved Pompadoria.
Luckily, an unexpected friend has offered to help.
Someone we all know...the Wicked Witch!
I know, I know - you're thinking...What?
Wicked?
Who pretended to be our princess to take over our cybersite?
It's true, yes.
But that was then - and this is now.
Wicked has assured me that she has changed, and I think she deserves a second chance.
Pompadorians, I want you to know I've totally changed my wicked ways.
And to prove it, I'm going to put a spell on you!
No, no, no, a good spell!
One that will keep you safe from Hacker forever!
All eyes on me!
Roses are red, violets are blue.
I'm now your favorite witchie-poo.
Do as I say, without hesitation.
And shower me with your adoration!
We love you, Wicked.
WE LOVE YOU, WICKED!
In fact, we adore you so much, we want you to be the new leader of Pompadoria.
And we won't take no for an answer!
Oh you!
If you insist!
Oh, no!
A Pompadorian walks into a hotel.
The clerk tells him it's fifteen snelfus a night... ...five snelfus if you make your own bed.
Good, I'll make my own bed, says the Pompadorian.
Okay, says the owner - I'll get you a hammer and nails.
Didge, stop with the jokes.
I'll never finish my painting of the Hedgehoppers.
Emergency!
Emergency!
Emergency!
Petra!
What's wrong?
Wicked cast a spell on all the Pompadorians.
She said it was a good spell - but I don't think so!
Do you remember what she said?
Um...it was something like: "I'm your favorite witchie-poo.
Do what I say and shower me with adoration."
Shower me with adoration?
Do what I say?
Wuh-oh!
Wicked's bein' wicked again.
As Inez would say...
Uh, oh.
This is not good - this is not good at all!
What?
Wicked put some kind of spell of adoration on the Pompadorians!
They're totally under her control!
Tell Jax we're on our way.
We're leaving the cybrary now.
Easy there, earthlies - no running in the cybrary.
Sorry.
We're in a hurry to get to Pompadoria.
Well, there's no use rushing.
We just got a cybermail saying Pompadoria's been closed off to all visitors till further notice.
So - enjoy the Cybrary.
Hope this still works.
Phew!
Just barely.
Jax!
Wicked must have closed down Pompadoria - we can't get onto the site.
Uh-oh!
Didge, you'd better-- I know!
Get to the castle and find out what that wily Wicked is up to!
I'm waaay ahead of ya, earthlie!
Matt!
See if you can find something about a Spell of Adoration at the Cybrary.
And hurry!
WHO LOVES YOU, WICKED?
WICKED RUUUULES!
I!
ADORE!
YOU!
AH!
Thank you so much.
I adore being adored!
Next!
Move along.
How do I adore thee?
Let me count the ways.
Okay.
Start counting.
Number one.
HACKER?
Hacker?
That must be one heck of a spell.
What are you doing here?
My adoration for you is boundless.
I can barely find the words to describe how I feel.
Try.
Wait.
We'll do the rest of the adorations later, okay?
Of course, my Queen.
Everyone...that's a wrap for today.
Adorations begin at noon tomorrow.
...And don't be late.
Stop playing with me, Hacker.
This is my gig!
Of course it is - and you deserve every second of it, my adorable one.
You're mad, right?
Mad I didn't include you in my plan?
Oh, I'm mad, all right...mad for you!
Mad for your devious nature... your evil aptitude... ...that pointy little nose that has finally pierced my heart.
Are you really under my spell?
I mean, I didn't even know you were here.
If by 'under your spell' you mean I adore you?
Guilty as charged!
And to prove it, tonight I'm staging an 'I Love Wicked' rally just for you!
Oh, Hackie-poo, you say the sweetest things.
If only I believed you.
A rally?
Tonight?
Hmm...wonder what Hacker's got up his cape this time?
Wuh oh!
Duncebuckets at twelve twenty-nine!
You think the boss's plan for us to steal all the Ergs in Pompadoria while he keeps Wicked busy with an 'I Love Wicked' rally is really gonna work?
Only if he fooled her into thinking he's under her spell!
So that's what they're up to!
...I found more Ergs!
Do we have to take all of 'em, Buzzy?
I mean, we've already got... One...two..three... YEOWWWWW!
...Sor-ree!
Hacker's after our Ergs?
But the Ergs power all of Pompadoria!
We can't exist without them.
We know.
We have got to stop Hacker!
C'mon, guys!
Petra!
Come back!
What can five little Hedgehoppers do to stop Hacker?
Probably not much.
But we can do alot!
We gotta break that spell...and fast!
"Spells Made Simple"... "When Good Spells Go Bad"..." 101 Evil Spells and How to Break Them"... That should have what we need!
Jackie!
I think we found something!
...The Spell of Adoration!
This must be it!
Jax, listen up!
"The Spell of Adoration can only be broken by reading the spell-breaker and showing this symbol to everyone under the spell at the same time."
What symbol?
The one in the book we found!
We'll Skwak you a picture of it!
Cool!
We can show it to the Pompadorians at the rally.
They'll all be there!
Excellent plan!
Picture coming!
Oh, no!
The camera's out of commission!
How are we going to get the symbol to Jackie?
