On Halloween evening, Snap shows up at Jacks’s dressed as a possum. Jacks makes hot cocoa and takes Snap to where they released the possums. She tells Snap that magic doesn’t only use the energy from around you, but your own energy, and you can’t “be fritterin’ it away on foolishness” (171). When Snap says she understands, Jacks finally takes her flying. She conjures a bench that propels them forward. She says she doesn’t often use such magic but it’s easier on Halloween.
They hover above a blind curve and Jacks levitates the animals crossing the road, so they don’t get hit. When Jacks is looking away, Snap sees a baby possum crossing the street as a car approaches. She uses her wand and shoots out magic, making the car swerve toward a ledge. Jacks traps the car with magic before it falls over the cliff.
Jacks flies them back. Snap wants her to focus on how she can use magic, but Jacks reiterates that props distract from magic. She doesn’t think Snap’s magic worked when it almost killed people. She takes the wand and dismisses her.
