The beach is empty like the rest of the area around Nowhere House because Lillian’s warding spell extends to the shoreline. While Circe enjoys the beach, Mika collects spell ingredients. Back in the attic, she carefully sorts them and begins to brew a potion. Potion-making comes from a witch’s instincts, and Mika has honed hers over the years. She finds fulfillment in brewing potions.

Mika goes to the cottage for tea. Ian is knitting a scarf for Ken, and Lucie dusts the living room. Mika brews her magical tea for achy bones. Ian tells stories while everyone enjoys the tea. Lucie explains that Jamie is difficult because he’s the only parent figure the girls have ever known. They imprinted on him more than anyone else, and he’s protective of them. Lucie suggests that Mika give Jamie time to come around.

That night, Mika hears Jamie below her balcony. Mika magically floats down to the ground so that they can talk, but she fumbles her landing. She encourages Jamie to laugh, but he doesn’t. He’s outside retrieving Altamira’s toy. Jamie knows that Lucie and Mika talked. Mika appreciates how Jamie forgoes niceties and gets to the point of things. She has spent her life trying to conform to niceties, so it’s refreshing to dismiss them.
