Plot
In the year 1692, Aldora Melton-Caplan realized that she was a witch after using a voodoo doll, only to be burnt at a stake. The Melton-Caplan family weren't happy about that. Most of the witches were hung and burnt at a stake.

328 years later, it was revealed that Aldora is the ancestor of Rebecca, not knowing that Rebecca is part of the Melton-Caplan family. Linda and Spencer tells her about her past of how they first met and how Rebecca became a witch. At her first day of school, she made new friends such as meeting Samantha while Rebecca reads her favorite book Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, bumping into Dakota, helping Angie cast spells and learning Cleo how to ride a broom. It was Spell Casting 101, whenever Miss Victoria Spellbottom teaches the teenage students how to open their books and memorize spells, the students get so bored, they didn't pay attention. Angie is nervous and talks to Dakota about it. Dakota casts a spell which inadvertently turns Ashley's skin green. Whenever Ashley called Angie a "freak", "Raggedy Ann", "brace face" and "Ugly redhead", Cleo casts a spell to tie her shoelaces together so Ashley can trip over.

Kicked out of Spell Casting 101, Cleo, Angie and Dakota get detention for not paying attention. Principal Martha Harrington says that the only ones who behave are Samantha and Rebecca. Broom Flying class went out of hand for Dakota when she ended up flying around and crashing into trees. Rebecca helps Dakota, but Ashley sees Dakota's panties and teases her. Upset, Dakota thinks she's misbehaving in school.

After she starts misbehaving, Rebecca finally realized that Dakota misbehave all the way through her first day. Rebecca, Samantha, Angie and Cleo became friends with Dakota and learns how to be nice. The antagonistic Miss Agatha arrived and tries to curse the principal of this school. Dakota tries to cast a spell, but a bouquet pops out of her wand, leaving her worrisome. Miss Agatha calls Angie mean words like Ashley did to Angie. Samantha and Rebecca use the magical spell to defeat Miss Agatha. When Miss Agatha is defeated, the school is now saved from an unspeakable evil. Samantha and Rebecca are now friends with the three girls. Marcus hangs out with Samantha and her friends, ending the episode.
