When Alex's friends J.B. and Amanda discover Anala, Alex has no choice but to tell them she is the Princess of Manjipoor. Alex then attempts a simple magic trick but it goes awry, filling her backyard full of rabbits.

Kuru enrols at Alex's school, but has a hard time fitting in. Trying to help, Alex uses magic to make him popular, but things start to get out of control.

Alex learns how to levitate objects and, to celebrate, gifts some magic to Kuru. But when Kuru returns to Manjipoor, he is taken captive by Vashan, who wants to learn more about his cousin. To escape, Kuru uses Alex's magic gift, which has strange consequences for Alex.

Vashan manages to infect Alex's magic, which causes Alex to accidentally bring an anime doll to life. J.B. is smitten with the girl, but as a direct reversal of her anime identity, she is highly dangerous, and Alex must find a way to reverse the spell before J.B. gets seriously hurt.
