Welcome to the third season, which starts off with Mildred and her friends looking very snazzy and dancing in one of the classrooms. Miss Drill walks in and doesn't stop them (she thinks it's as neat as the rest of us do) but then Miss Hardbroom shows up and tells everybody off. Meanwhile, Miss Bat has been replaced by Miss Crochet, the new chanting teacher, with some sort of weird musical device that she can't play properly. It sounds like a squashed bagpipe. Miss Drill, by now, comes to Miss Cackle, complaining that Miss Hardbroom has ""gone too far"" this time. She wants to leave and go work at the adventure center with her BOYFRIEND Serge. Miss Hardbroom, on the other hand, complains to Miss Cackle that ""Mildred and Friends"" need to be ""squashed"" before they get out of hand. Miss Cackle suggests making them members of the Cauldron Club, of which Miss Hardbroom is honorary lifetime president. Miss Hardbroom balks at the idea, but promises to discuss it with the current head Cauldronit

It's potions class and Drusilla turns into a tree. Ethel points out that the dangers of turning into a tree include getting chopped down, woodpeckers, etc... Miss Hardbroom asks how they would be able to tell which tree Drusilla was if they were in a forest. Mildred says she'd be the one that dropped a branch on them. HB doesn't think that's funny, and makes Mildred drink her tree-turning-into potion next. Mildred turns into something ""prickly and annoying"". HB tells the class that they're getting a student teacher from Weird Sister's College named Gabrielle Gribble. Not too long later, the staff discuss the new student teacher, and Miss Cackle says that Gabrielle's last assignment didn't go too well, and that, as a favor to the college, they're letting her have another go at Cackles. Miss Crotchet gracefully moves so that Miss Gribble can have the broken chair. Gribble arrives, and everyone but Miss Hardbroom leaves (because the bell rings). Gribble's late because of the up draft outs

Lynn Lamplighter, an artist who lived in the village near Cackle's, is coming to the school for Art Week, and it's all terribly exciting. Of course, there's one person who's angry about it; Ethel. She comes stomping up the hall with Drusilla and they make some uncalled for remarks to Mildred, who's sitting on the stairs minding her own business. They make fun of Maud too, until Mildred hits Ethel with a blob of green slime. Maud and Mildred run upstairs with Ethel and Drusilla chasing after them. They run back down again, with Ethel and Drusilla hurling slime at them. Mildred ducks into the room with Lamplighter in it, and the artist is mistakenly slimed. HB doesn't think having the artist show up is a good idea either, and she doesn't like Lamplighter's pants. Cackle says that she promised everyone would take part. The third years and the staff listen to Miss Lamplighter talk about art for a while. She asks HB what her favorite color is, ""Black"" and they talk about weather it's actual

Everybody arrives at Camelot College (a wizard school). Just as they're about to land, Mildred crashes her broom into a tree. Bars and Gars watch her through a telescope and pretend they're airport control. They call HB the secret weapon when they see her. ""All is not well, mon capitain!"" Everyone runs over to see if Mildred's all right. She is. Cackle says that it's a good thing Mildred landed prematurely, because it reminded her that you should always greet wizards on foot. ""We witches sometimes have a clear advantage. Wizards aren't so good at flying."" They walk up to the castle and Hellibore makes an ostentatious entrance, calling his pupils forth and making them recite a lame poem that they all look suitably embarrassed to recite (particularly the ones that look to be nineteen or so??). Mildred and co. notice Charlie standing in their midst. They talk to him inside, and he explains, ""Miss Cackle knew how much I wanted to be a witch... I mean, wizard."" So she wrote to Hellibore and

Miss Cackle's off to visit her sickly auntie Gertrude (maybe not Gertrude, but I think that was her name) and for some reason, Mr. Hallow (who looks really, really a lot older than he did before) is there to help see her off. He sticks his nose in where it doesn't belong and suggests finding someone to be a temporary replacement, ""a witch between jobs to fill in"". Because they're very polite, Cackle and HB agree. Ruby has invented a machine that somehow allows you to travel from one place to the other without having to walk there - sort of the way HB disappears and reappears. This involves wearing a cooky headband and having Ruby push all sorts of buttons on a gizmo. It doesn't work properly, and it makes Mildred disappear and reappear all around the room really, really fast. Ethel catches up with her father and has a pow wow with him in the hallway. He explains that he was having trouble finding someone, but then he thought of the perfect person, tracked her down by phone, and she was

Enid hands Mildred back the gum, and Mildred tastes it, proclaiming that it tastes just like new.

Eventually, Mildred's gum turns into one giant bubble, and escapes out the open door. Meanwhile, Miss Crotchet and Miss Drill walk under some third years (who are walking up the wall sans gravity) and Miss Drill just finishes saying how much she hates the third year witch project week when Mildred's bubble floats in and bursts on her.

For the very same weekend, the rest of the third years are subjected to Miss Drill's outdoor survival training (which involves face paint, and lots of running). Ethel, being Ethel, takes charge of everyone as soon as they arrive at the tearoom (Ms. Cosey has popped off to see the doctor) and everyone grumbles about how she's not pitching in to help clean up. Ethel gets to talking with Drusilla, and they discuss how stupid looking to tearoom is. Ethel blasts it (you're not supposed to use magic in the tearoom, donchaknow) and makes it look really cool. Then she blasts her classmates and makes them look really cool (and they do look very nice). All of that is just in time for a group of Japanese tourists to show up at the door.
