Jerome's tournament goes badly. As Victor is getting ahead, Senkhara is getting angrier. She yells at Nina for visiting Gran instead of working through the tunnels. Nina gets upset and says that Senkhara doesn't exist and walks through her. Senkhara then tells Nina her punishment "will be to punish." The next day, Nina's innocent words to her friends are twisted by Senkhara into hexes. Nina gets a vision about herself turning into Senkhara and the Sibuna gang is running away from her.

Alfie accidentally reveals Jerome's opponents have used crooked balls and then helps him win the match. Victor explores the next task and is deafened by a powerful klaxon. Nina realizes that it's her words that have hexed her friends. Senkhara tells her the punishments will last until the task is complete. Patricia loses her voice, Alfie turns into a little kid, Fabian loses his memory, and Amber is turning old.

The Sibunas are alarmed that Victor has his own amulet. Mrs. Andrews gets replaced by a teacher named Mrs. Valentine. Due to Fabian being hexed with memory loss, he calls Joy "Pam" which sends her running out in tears confirming her crush is indeed crushed. Eddie tries to speak to Patricia about his feelings for her, and Patricia confirms her feelings with a kiss while Joy walks in on them. Later, in the tunnels, Alfie plays on the horns, but he gets the tune wrong. The klaxon sounds again, but this time, the ceiling cracks and begins to collapse.
