Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mom) s1e35: Magic Is Not Always the Best Weapon

  Last episode was bölüm/episode 34: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mom) s1e34: Striving to Learn; 

…  

  Cem has no manners, whatsoever!  What is wrong with him?  Indoors is not for practicing with a ball.  That’s why there is an outside!   How rude, and his father only reluctantly agrees with the girls and his wife to talk with Cem and make him see reason.  After a huge to do, with Ceren being injured and injuring her brother in return, after he runs over to Suzan and Avni, then a drunken Umur Bey arrives at the family house.  After more drama with a toy gun, we see Taci in the morning dreaming that Dudu re-changed him back to his human form.

“Benim ruyalarim cikar.   /  My dreams come true.”

    Dudu then goes to the cafe to see Betüş, who points out the contrast between her unjust punishment of Taci, the fairy twins (Eda and Betüş)’ father, and her lack of punishment to Umur Bey, who really did cheat on her.  Dudu, as usual, dismisses this, and goes back home to cook up some vengeful magic while awaiting the arrival of Umur with his apologies.

Meanwhile, the girls wonder how to hide Ceren’s facial bruises, and Çilek suggests make up, which topic will come back with a vengeance later.  Cem gets a phone call, on which the girls angrily stay on the line to eavesdrop.  But after they listen in on his phone call with a teammate, feel bad, and then try apologize, he rejects their apology, sending Ceren into a tearful spate of self-recrimination.

  Dudu’s magic-making is interrupted by Perhian’s strong suggestion, seconded by both Eda and Taci, to make Umur sorry in the same way that a human woman would, rather than via magic: by making him jealous.

A pattern is emerging here:  revenge.   Except for Dudu’s moment of wisdom, in refusing to tell Çilek how to do the magic she wants to do to heal her brother in time to go to the match with Tuğçe, both the kids and the adults have revenge plots going on, pun intended.  But Cem is more worried about his friend making eyes at Tuğçe after the match.  He should have been more worried about Keren winning the match in his place.

Umur Bey, how stingy!  50YTL roses, 35 is all he wants to pay, so he shows up with a much smaller bouquet at the castle/house to apologize to Dudu.  …  And then demands to meet the man she claims to have fallen in love with already, in Umur’s absence.  After negotiating strenuously, Dudu agrees to return Taci to his human form for one day only, in order to show him off to Umur Bey as the new love of her life.

I love how we get little health lessons on the importance of using a tissue and tossing it right away for sneezes.  Unfortunately, the peace lasts very little time, as the kids go right back to fighting.  Likewise, Dudu returns Taci to his two feet, but not to his entirely own old form.  They visit the office to  meet Umur, with the desired effect.   So, in fact, Taci’s dream did come true, if only for a day.

Next week we will see blm/ep. 36: Sihirli Annem (My Magical Mom) s1e36, Hard Work, and Women Role Models in Business  ,
