Granted

Ophelia and Sam follow the wish. Ophelia is feeling very sad about the many unexpected turns her mission has taken, but Sam’s positive attitude cheers her up. After a while, she notices that the wish sounds closer. A white car goes by, and Ophelia recognizes the driver as the man with Kasarah’s wish. However, even though the car disappears in the distance, Ophelia still hears the wish nearby. She directs Sam towards the sound.

Ophelia sees a sign advertising lemonade for $1. She warns Sam to stay hidden and watches the children operating the lemonade stand. Ophelia recognizes them as the children from the diner, Gabe and Anna. Kasarah’s coin is in their money pouch. Ophelia ponders her options as the children pack up the stand. She and Sam follow Gabe and Anna. Ophelia feels curious about the boy and the cloud of sadness that seems to follow him.

The children walk slowly, pulling a wagon with their lemonade stand supplies. They stop at a yellow farmhouse with the name “Morales” on the mailbox. Ophelia likes the house, thinking it looks like a home. Sam and Ophelia walk around it, with Ophelia trying to understand its layout. She feels hungry as she watches the children’s mother, Mrs. Morales, cooking. Mrs. Morales asks the children about their sales, and Gabe complains that they only made $7 each after three hours. He also wonders if they missed a call from their father, who is a marine stationed overseas. Mrs. Morales explains that it is challenging for their father to call them often. The children go upstairs to count their money, and Ophelia sees that their mother looks tired and sad at the kitchen counter. Ophelia returns to Sam, and they search for a way into the house. Suddenly, Ophelia feels something watching her and whirls around just as something pounces on her.

Ophelia brandishes her knife as she faces her attacker, a gray and white cat. The cat jumps back, assuring Ophelia he meant no harm, displaying his declawed paws as proof. He says his name is Patch and confesses that he enjoys scaring birds; he says he thought Ophelia was one. Ophelia asks him about the Morales family, and Patch says they are good people who occasionally feed and pet him. However, he notes that Gabe has been moody ever since his dad left. Patch shares that he gets the family to feed him by meowing at their back door, which gives Ophelia an idea. She is contemplating how she can bribe the cat for his help when Sam runs toward them.

Sam chases after Patch, who disappears through the fence. Ophelia scolds Sam and he apologizes, despite not understanding what he did wrong. He looks at Ophelia sadly, and she makes a new plan: She will use Sam to get the family’s attention.

Ophelia struggles to convince Sam to go along with her plan of using him to distract the Morales family while she sneaks into the house—Sam fears humans might hurt him. Ophelia reassures Sam and expresses her need for his help, and he reluctantly agrees. Despite trying to give him specific instructions, Ophelia realizes it is better to let Sam be himself. She instructs him to keep the family outside for as long as possible. When they get into position, Sam starts barking. Mrs. Morales, Gabe, and Anna come to the door, captivated by Sam’s antics. With his charming demeanor, Sam manages to lure the children and their mother outside. Seizing the opportunity, Ophelia sneaks into the house.

Ophelia feels overwhelmed by the size of the house and the sheer amount of stuff inside. She wanders around, fascinated by the books and other items; she is especially entranced by a family photo. As Ophelia starts moving upstairs, toward the coin, Anna returns to the house. The girl grabs some leftovers from dinner and rushes back outside. Ophelia begins to climb the stairs, which feel more like a mountain to her since she is only a foot tall. Each step is painful for her injured wing and shoulder. Eventually, she reaches the top, noticing more pictures and wondering about Mr. Morales. Ophelia peeks into the primary bedroom and Anna’s room, realizing that Kasarah’s coin is in Gabe’s room.

Ophelia appreciates the cleanliness of Gabe’s room but not his collection of airplanes, which reminds her of the jet. She almost reaches the coin when Gabe comes back inside the house, upset and yelling at his mother. Ophelia gathers that Gabe wants to keep Sam, but Mrs. Morales thinks it is a bad idea. Gabe stomps upstairs, forcing Ophelia to hide quickly. He enters his room, sits at his desk, and cries. Ophelia plans to use the knockout gas on Gabe to get Kasarah’s coin, though she feels guilty about doing this to him. As Ophelia prepares to spray him, Gabe stands and picks up Kasarah’s coin. He leaves the house, telling Mrs. Morales he is going to the creek.

Ophelia bursts into laughter because she cannot believe her bad luck: Out of more than 20 coins on the desk, Gabe chose Kasarah’s coin to take with him. Ophelia notices that the window is open, and inspired by a photograph she saw of Gabe and his father, she decides to try rappelling down the side of the house, using the fishhook and twine in her bag. She manages to reach the ground safely, although not without some pain. However, the fishhook is stuck and she cannot dislodge it; she realizes she has no choice but to leave it, even though leaving evidence is against the rules. Guessing that Gabe intends to make a wish with Kasarah’s coin, Ophelia heads to the creek. She is so focused on reaching Gabe and the coin that she loses track of her surroundings and ends up trapped in a net.

Anna catches Ophelia in a net. The girl frees her previously caught fireflies, planning to keep the fairy (still camouflaged) forever. However, Ophelia quickly grabs her knife when Anna gets distracted by Patch meowing. While Anna is busy with Patch, Ophelia seizes the opportunity to escape.

Ophelia runs to the creek, grateful to Patch. She finally catches sight of Gabe; he is holding the nickel in his hand. Ophelia senses strong magic in that place and grabs her knockout gas. She hits Gabe with the spray, but it is too late. Gabe tosses the coin into the creek right before he collapses.
