Ep. 18: Mama steht vor der Wahl zwischen ihrer Familie und dem Hexenturnier.

18

The invitation Mama received to the Witches' Tournament shown in the last episode has reignited her long-buried past--a past that she had set aside in favor of raising a family. However, Noelle sees her flying her broom late at night, and Mama explains that she has dreamed her whole life of being invited to the Witches' Tournament, but ultimately must choose her family over her dreams. Eros and Muse devise a way to convince Mama to enter the tournament (and subsequently divide her family) in order to have Noelle disqualified from becoming an angel on the grounds that she couldn't save her parents' marriage. In the form of a vacuum cleaner, Muse stokes Mama's feelings of unrest, causing Mama to give in and revert to her 'real' personality, becoming brash and rude in place of her usual demure and gentle attitude. At Noelle's insistence, Mama offers to teach her how to fly--forcing her to do strange and ineffectual exercises, which she then reveals actually had no meaning at all, but were merely a way to break Noelle down and keep her from trying again. Despite how bleak things appear to be, in the end, Mama makes up with her family and gives up on the tournament, her agitation now satiated after being able to cut loose and fly. (Source: Wikipedia)
