Quick recap

Crystal and her brother Cole live on a farm in Goshen Falls. Everyone says Vanessa, the woman in black who lives alone with a cat, is a witch. The two bump into her, knock over her groceries, and leave without saying sorry. Vanessa points and says: Chicken chicken. Soon Cole clucks during his chorus solo, Crystal's lips harden into a beak, and both sprout feathers. Their friend Anthony, who apologized right away, is fine. The siblings take Vanessa's spell book and only make things worse: they become giant chickens, then tiny chicks. Crystal types an apology on Vanessa's typewriter, and Vanessa lifts the curse. At the end she gives them soda, Cole lets out a huge burp, and Vanessa answers: Pig pig.
