The best thing about this episode of sending Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) to a non-magical school for the first time is the pun in its title (sadly the episode doesn’t feature Billie stopping time and directly speaking to the audience). Despite being told “no magic,” Billie uses plenty in her attempt to win over Roman‘s (Alkaio Thiele) best friend Winter (Taylor Cora) after striking out making friends of her own. Playing on the tease from the previous episode we also see a phantomus drawn to the school by Billie’s magic and attack Roman (after he steals her wand).
