Alex meets fellow wizard T.J. Taylor at school, who charmed his parents with magic to let him use it anytime he wants. This is what Alex wants from her more conservative mom and dad; in a twisted turn of events, Jerry and Theresa are charmed by a noodle kugel to obey Alex's wishes, but she soon gets worried for them and tries to get them back.
Tropes:
- Ambiguously Jewish: Since kugel is a traditional Ashkenazi Jewish dish, T.J. and his family might be jews. Furthermore, his actor is Jewish.
- An Aesop: Parents are strict with you for a reason, and you shouldn't take it for granted.
- Crazy-Prepared: Apparently T.J. told his parents brownies were illegal so they wouldn't be cured of the charm.
- I Will Show You X!: T.J. keeps saying this to less effect.
- Oh, Crap!: T.J. when he sees his parents have ate brownies and are no longer charmed.
