Hex's niece, Charmcaster, enters the underground prison he's held at to release him out of his cell. With her help, Hex was able to regain most of his powers after being given his magical staff. Meanwhile, Ben, Gwen, and Grandpa Max head to a magic convention held in Las Vegas, and in there, Gwen finds the legendary Keystone of Bazell. With it, she gains the powers of Lucky Girl once again, but will it last after finding out that Hex and his niece are after it?

A terrorizing nightmare of Ghostfreak is half the trouble for an unnerved Ben, as a tour of an important academy that Gwen wishes to attend is disturbed by the uncanny alien's manifestations and the antics of Acid Breath, Frightwig, and Thumbskull.
