Carbonel tells Rosemary she needs to find the witches hat, cauldron, and learn the witches spell to free him. Rosemary, along with her friend John, starts looking. They go back to the market to see if anyone knows where the witches stuff is. Luckily, an old man is able to help them find the "occupier" who bought the hat. They also find the cauldron in a tea shop. Last but not least, they track down the witch and get the spell. Rosemary and John do the spell that the witch had told them, and Carbonel was free.
