This is Auradon, the kingdom where all
your favorite fairy tales are true.

It was formed 30 years ago when Beast
married Belle.

And how do you think they got all those
characters to coexist?

Simple, by banishing the villains to the
Isle of the Lost.

That's where I grew up. You might know
my name, Uma, daughter of the big bad

witch, Ursula, and a pirate queen not to
be messed with.

I helped Mal and Ben free the Isle, and
now that they're on the throne...

Things are a lot more fair around here.

But they're sailing off with Jay and
Evie on a new adventure, forming

with distant lands.

And guess who they left in charge while
they're gone?

That's right.

Villains rule.

And you can bet I'm going to shake
things up around here.

I've been to the principal's office
before, but never like this.

I made us tea.

It's not an easy

job, Buma.

But I hope you find it fulfilling.

I've run a crew of cutthroats since I
was 16.

I think I can handle a few prep school
kids.

Pirates!

You just enjoy retirement.

I'm not retiring.

I... Are you sure you want to put that
out there?

I've been chosen as the new president of
Auradon University.

And to ensure a seamless transition, I
have prepared a

list, color -coded by priority.

My first order of business will be
making sure kids from all the kingdoms

welcome to attend AP.

Oh, well, that's already our school
policy.

I said all.

Even Wonderland.

Wonderland?

No. Oh, no.

Wonderland is hostile.

I've heard. Their queen's a tyrant.

Oh, the Queen of Hearts refused to join
Auradon when we united. She raised an

army and we had to wallop the rabbit
hole. No, dear.

If only Queen Mal and King Ben were
here.

Well, too bad they're not.

And why do you think Mal put me in
charge if she didn't want to shake

around here?

No offense, Fairy G, but you don't know
Mal and Ben like I do.

I used to hate Mal.

I'm sure you've heard.

But you know what happened?

We reconciled.

We saw the goodness in each other.

When she and Ben finally opened up the
aisle, they gave all villains a second

chance.

It's time Wonderland got one, too.

This is for Princess Red.

Are you sure?

It's what Carlos would have wanted.

So don't do it for me.

Do it in honor of him.

Hey. Bippity.

Boppity.

Boo.

That's right.

Auradon may have brought down the
barrier, but they still left one VK

Not on my watch.

So I'm sending an invite to the kingdom
no one dares to talk about.

The one that lurks right below the
surface.

Wonderland, a dark world of mystery and
magic.

And its ruler, the Queen of Hearts,
well, she's got a reputation for being

downright ruthless.

Subjects of Wonderland!

You have one minute to comply with the
royal majesty's curfew, or else...

Or else it's off with your head.

There's only one person who dares to
resist the queen's order.

And that's her very own daughter,
Princess Red. I'm a rebel, I'm a menace,

one -girl riot.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Slipping through the shadows... Like I'm
ultraviolet Yeah, yeah Hearts on the

walls With no love in the streets
Appetite for destruction The girl's

yeah Devil on my shoulder And it won't
be quiet

in the air.

Red, what on earth were you thinking?

That my mom's portrait could use a
little touch -up.

I am seriously worried about you, Red.

I hope she likes it.

If you continue down this path, I won't
always be there to save you. You know

that, right?

Maddox Hatter, you know you can't save
me. I'm a prisoner of Wonderland. I'm a

lost cause.

You are not a lost cause.

As your tutor, I'm in charge of
preparing you for your future.

And as your friend...

I want you to have one.

What future, Matt?

I literally have the most controlling
mom ever.

She's never going to let me leave
Wonderland. I know it hasn't been easy

up with a mother that's so...
particular.

But she wasn't always this way.

It's true.

We're all products of our past. And your
mother's was certainly unfortunate.

She just wants to turn me into the next
evil queen like her. And I don't want to

be queen.

I just want to be in charge of my own
life.

But what I want doesn't matter to her.

Oh, Red.

I wasn't going to show you this.

Until you were a little older.

But I finished it.

My time machine.

It takes you to the moment in time that
can give you what your heart wants most.

If you really want a different life,
Red, I want you to have that choice.

But I should warn you, when you alter
the fabric of time, there can be some

unpredictable consequences.

I think I can live with that.

Everything could change.

You could lose your mother.

Entirely.

It's too dangerous.

Not yet.

When you're more mature.

I know you're frustrated, Red, but I'm
trying to look out for you. I care about

you very much.

Thanks, Mads.

At least someone still does.

Oh, if the queen finds out I'm harboring
a fugitive, I'll be in some serious

trouble. You best get out of here, Red.
I dare you to make me. As you wish,

princess.

What'd I say about calling me princess?

But I should warn you, you could lose
your mother entirely.

Where are you going?

Get back here.

Gotcha. Bet you didn't see that coming.

Dad, that's cheating.

No, that's delicious.

Don't be so serious, Chloe.

We signed you up for swords and shields
because it was supposed to be fun.

Well, yeah, it is. But when I'm out
there, I'm not just another competitor.

I represent Cinderella'sburg.

You sound like your mother.

Don't listen to him.

Your father's never cared about what
other people think.

I don't have to.

I'm charming.

That's debatable.

Dad.

Mom.

So this is love.

back when we were in school.

We fell in love at Castle Cumming.

Yeah, I know. You tell me every time.

And I know you guys have a healthy
relationship and all, but come on.

And it's a good thing, too.

Or we wouldn't have been able to create
this amazing family.

I know you packed last night, but you
think you might have room for one more

pair of shoes?

Mom,

they're just like yours, but even
cooler.

You earned them, Chloe.

You got straight A's last year. And
volunteered for the yard on historical

society. And the thing I'm most proud of
is that you're such a good person.

That's why you're a great princess and
why you'll make a great queen.

These are some big shoes to fill.

Are you going to try them on or what?

We don't know your Royal Highness.

I've doubled the guard, tripled the
patrol, and personally offered ten

for any information that leads to the
capture of the criminal.

Her Royal Highness, Princess Red!

Oh, I see you couldn't be bothered to
dress for court.

I find that outfit...

Offensive. I wish being me didn't offend
you.

Sorry to rouse you out of bed before
noon, but while you were sleeping, the

royal plaza was vandalized.

And this sorry excuse for a soldier
failed to protect my portrait. So the

question is, what do we do?

Poke thorns in his eyes? Off with his
head?

Since you'll be queen one day, I'll let
you decide.

It's up to me.

Okay.

Well, in that case... Off with him!

You're such a disappointment.

You know, I was the same way at your
age.

Desperately wanting to be a queen that
everyone would adore.

But if I've learned anything, it's this.

It's better to be feared than loved.

Love ain't it.

Now try again.

For your crime.

You are sentenced to... Get

it right, or I'll show you punishment!

I beg your pardon.

Apologies for interrupting court.

Your Majesty.

Royal delivery.

Dear Queen of Hearts, Empress of
Wonderland, as the new principal of

Prep, it is my honor to invite your
daughter, Red, the princess of

to attend our school.

I hope you'll join us for the welcome
day ceremony.

If you accept, this invitation shall
serve as your key.

From pirate to principal, another
villain's gone soft.

Maybe you have a future after all, if
you go to Auradon Prep.

You get to leave Wonderland.

Does it matter?

The only thing she hates more than
Auradon is the idea of me having my own

So, I'm pretty sure that's gonna be a
no.

We accept!

Wait, hold on.

Really?

But you've always said that Auradon is
the worst.

Well, with my daughter there, it might
not always be.

You're going to let me go.

You.

Pack your bags.

Am I hallucinating or did my mom just
grow a heart?

And put on something respectable.

For once.

Don't embarrass me.

Okay, half a heart.

I love them.

Here's my girl.

Thank you.

So beautiful.

You sure you can't come?

I mean, we can visit Chad at college
another time.

He really wants me to come see him play
tourney, so... Mm -hmm. Take care of

your mom for me?

I will.

So how do we get into the rabbit hole?
It's been locked for decades.

Mom, what are you doing?

Oh, you have so much to learn.

Fine.

I thought I told you to put on something
respectable.

It makes me weak, but how would I know
if I ain't felt it yet?

You say love ain't it, and I wish I
could compete with all the grief that

experienced.

Love ain't it, and nothing's as sweet as
when you defeat all your enemies.

I say love ain't it, and fear is more
important if we're gonna...

Bridget. I didn't expect to see you
here.

Hello.

It's your royal highness now.

Of course. You must be very proud.

Um, hi.

I'm Chloe Charming. You must be Princess
Red of Wonderland.

I've always wondered what it's like over
there.

You should come sometime.

I'll introduce you to the Jabberwocky.
Fine, what's a Jabberwocky? A monster

that eats annoying girls.

It's okay, baby.

So you knew her? I saw through her.

Cinderella and I were classmates. No
way. I spent way too much time in this

place, so I had to escape. Okay. The
people here might smile, but they're too

faced and too fake.

Wait, you went to Ordon Prep?

Nope. Wasn't even called that yet.

Wow, that girl was super rude. What's
her problem? What's her deal? Some

act mean at first because they're too
afraid to feel.

It's survival.

It's protection. That's why roses grow
their thorns. Come on, whose side are

on? The only one worse than her is her
mom. Look, hon, back in high school, a

mean prank was played.

And ever since that fateful day, she was
never quite the same. It's a shame.

What happened? Is it okay to ask?

We came to celebrate the future,
sweetie, not dwell on the past.

Stand aside! The queen's arrived!

Look at them so innocent.

Can't believe they let us in. Watch them
pay the consequence for being so dang

insolent. Can't you smell the cowardice?
Soak it up, devour it. Sleep before the

week. Let me show you what real power
is. Quick, Red, you gotta follow along.

One day you'll be on the phone.

Automatic, just how I planned it. What
about what I want? They gonna fall like

parachutes? They gonna call to me on all
fours. What did they ever do to you?

Red, what are you arguing for?

I don't speak politician.

I'm a queen. Your submission's what I
need. On your knees, you'll meet

If you listen or you wind up in a
prison, you'll be living in a dungeon on

ground.

Love ain't it.

Let me show you what a true power is.
And when I say you won't live, I let you

live. And you should take what I give
when I'm giving it. And what I'm

Privileged to serve you. But the time
has come for another to take my place.

So please join me in welcoming Auradon
Prep's new principal.

What's my name?

What's my name?

walk in the plank.

She's just kidding.

She's kidding.

Now, I never got the chance to go to
Auradon Prep, but as its captain,

I'm proud to be charting a new course
into a bright future beyond the old ways

of heroes and villains.

So in that spirit, I'd like to welcome
Princess Red of Wonderland.

Excuse me.

Hi.

Do you mind?

I do, actually.

Mom, what are you doing?

I'm playing my favorite game.

waiting years to be invited back into
Auradon.

So thank you, Red.

You finally did something useful.

I should have known this was never about
me.

Everything I do is for you.

That was my invitation.

My school, my life.

Someday, you'll thank me.

Oh, and we've already seen the ending.

Spoiler alert!

Stop it, Bridget.

You're better than this.

Let her through.

This is too far.

Look, I know that what happened was hard
for you, but that was ages ago.

Feels like yesterday to me.

It was a stupid prank.

Stupid. I could forgive.

Humiliating a girl at her first dance.

Turning me into a monster in front of
everyone.

Now that's just cruel.

You're right.

You didn't care then. You were off with
your prince.

But you will now.

You will all show me the respect I
deserve.

Now kneel.

I will never kneel to a tyrant.

She's denied a royal order.

What do we do about that, darling?

Look, all you have to do is swear
allegiance. Is that so hard?

If it means compromising everything I
stand for?

Yes.

Who are you loyal to, Red?

These strangers?

Come on, Bridget.

Even your daughter knows it's wrong.

She can't do it.

Treason!

She's guilty of treason!

Exactly right, my dear. And that
means...

With a... Hey!

Shoot.

Mom? It's gonna be okay, Chloe. Mom! I
love you. Mom!

It's gonna be okay.

Mom! Be brave, Chloe.

Mom! No!

No! I knew.

You had it in you. Let her go!

You'll be a great queen, Ultral.

Look at her.

She's enjoying this.

Like mother, like daughter.

Let her go!

What just happened? Where did everybody
go?

Whoa.

It works.

What works? Where are we?

Not where.

When.

Bippity.

Boppity.

Bip.

Bippity. Boppity. Bip.

I want it to speed read, not for my
reading to speed up.

Hi. Excuse me. Where did everybody go?

Every who?

All the royal families of Auradon. They
were just here. What's Auradon?

I've got to go catch my homework.

Everybody's heard of Auradon.

I'm the only person who says Bibbidi
-Bobbidi -Boo's fairy godmother.

Maybe she's not a godmother yet.

What do you mean?

Look around you.

Fairy Godmother sucks at magic, Auradon
doesn't exist, which means...

Really? I thought you were smart.

We're back in time.

No.

Wait.

No.

How? This is a time machine.

You're joking. Does it look like I'm
joking?

Why would you take us back in time?

I didn't take you. You just grabby
grabbed your way in. And this is not

had in mind.

I just wanted to stop my mom.

What about my mom? You said it's her to
death.

Maybe not my finest moment, but I'm
going to fix it. How?

I thought the watch would take me back a
couple minutes so that I could steal my

mom's deck of cards.

Not a couple decades.

Well, we need to go back and save my
mom.

No, the watch sent us to this time for a
reason.

Give me that.

I don't need the help of some princess
goody two -shoes.

I'll handle this myself.

I'll tell it to you straight to your
face.

There isn't any time left to waste.

My kingdom back home needs to be saved.

Give me the pocket watch or you're
getting slayed.

You best behave.

What are you going to do now?

Run me through and steal my watch?

I think there's a word for that,
actually.

Starts with a B.

Oh, right.

Fill it.

Okay, maybe.

you something why should i trust you
your mom just staged a violence too for

i know you're gonna stab me in the back
too think what you want to boo i'm

nothing like my mom her power trip was
way too strong i knew that she was wrong

well maybe we'll get along maybe we're
not that different maybe we need each

other to complete the same mission i'm
glad you put your pride aside to make

right decision we'll work together until
history is rewritten

Do they want to stop your mom?

Yeah, I do.

Why? If she takes over, you'll be the
next Princess of Auradon.

And if I'm the next Princess of Auradon,
it's only a matter of time before she

tries to turn me into her mini -me.

I'm not going to let that happen.

Okay.

I accept your mission.

Orlin Academy.

That's what Auradon Prep used to be
called before Beast United all the

to create Auradon. How do you know all
this?

I love history, don't you?

Uh -uh.

No way.

Castle coming.

That's where my parents found love.

It's like the biggest event of the year.

Sorry, I'm busy changing history.

Remember what your mom said about being
humiliated at her first dance?

This must be what she meant.

And if someone did some horrible prank
to her... Maybe that's what turned her

into such a terrible dictator.

That must be why the watch sent us back
to this moment in time.

It's before my mom turns into... my mom.

Great. Now, how do we stop that?

By figuring out who's going to do the
prank that ruins her life.

That's the class, ladies.

Stay right there. Oh, my gosh, it's
Merlin.

We're not students. I mean, well, we
are. But we think that we've been sent

another place.

We're transfer students.

Well, I'm Principal Merlin, so I should
have received papers.

Now, is it that one?

Is it this one?

Dear Mom.

Now, that's not it.

Now, then.

That's not safe. It's not safe at all.

Well,

I'm sure it'll turn up eventually. I
founded this academy to be an

institution for all.

But you must know that we have a no
-swords policy in the classroom.

I've transported it to be Stardust Room,
which will be your dormitory.

It'll settle you in after school. But
first, let's get you to class. I teach

honours alchemy in my office.

Right this way.

Sorry, this way, this way.

Follow me.

The marble in these archways. What was
that?

The Ordon code of chronic forbids lying,
especially to teachers. Good thing this

isn't Ordon yet.

There are no swords in these stones.

Here we are.

Um, key, key, where's the key?

Ah, ah, ah.

All right class, let's get started.

We have two new transfers here today, so
let's at least pretend that this is an

honours class.

Um, Richard and Ella, split up and...

Help these two get sorted, won't you?

Here you are.

Bridget? Yeah?

Mom? Um,

I mean, uh, Ella, hi.

Nice to meet you.

Okay, new girl.

Dive in.

So wait, you're... Bridget? Mm -hmm.

Bridget from Wonderland?

Yep. That's me.

Ah,

there we go.

Okay.

So.

Oh, wow.

Those are gross.

Come on. These pods don't drain
themselves.

Could you pass me the Griffin Cloud,
please?

I gotta stir this up.

I love your outfit, by the way. Why are
you talking like that?

Like what?

You just sound different.

I'm not quite sure.

No, it's me. I'm yours. This is all just
a lot.

Sorry, I just... I never had to... Oh,
ew!

Ew! You okay?

Yeah. Sorry, I just, uh... You're not
what I was expecting.

You never worked with someone who's not
royalty?

Worried a commoner might rub off on you.

No!

How many kids were at your old school?

Uh... One.

I was homeschooled, too, until I came
here, so, you know.

Don't worry.

You'll get used to it.

Do you want a hug? Not really a hugger.

I've got the perfect thing to make you
feel better. I made them this morning.

Get those plants bubbling, please.

Fabulous. Flamingo feather cupcakes.

Flamingo feathers?

Don't worry. They don't bite.

Not like those gingerbread men I made
last spring.

I won't be using that cookbook again.

Try one.

These are fabulous.

Ah, ah, ah.

Just one. Or there can be side effects.

Ready to tackle the assignment?

Why are you so nice?

You get more with sugar than salt.

That's why I got enough to go around For
everyone I think Sometimes I make

mistakes And sometimes I burn the cake

here for a spell, even though it never
really works out well for me. I'm gonna

wave off my wand, and it's, oopsie.

It's Jasmine and Aladdin.

Call us Aladdin.

He's like a magnet. She's so attractive.

It's all fantastic, cause we're flying
high together on a magic copyright.

Charming. That's just the name people
know me by. Crown Prince isn't the where

If you want to roll together, it could
be a vibe.

Okay. That's my dad.

So you're friends with everyone?

Oh, gosh, no.

My only friend is Ella.

But with time and a few more treats,
they will be.

Captain of the seas, I've got them all
shook. Son of Morgana, serpentine.

Morgi's the name, better run and hide.

Hades here from a fiery depths. Sharp as
a thorn, I'm Maleficent. Enough with

I'm taking souls for living. Gotta touch

The scariest things are scared of me.
Stay on and watch them bleed.

She's Ursula's baby sister.

Okay. The sun shines a little more.

things brightly.

When you take things a little more
lightly, just mix it up, you'll keep

Give that back. I'm sorry.

I don't speak peasant girl.

I love your outfit, by the way. It is
just so put together.

fight until after school.

Meet me then.

You wouldn't stand a chance.

Listen, squid face.

Give the cupcakes back, or I'll rip that
magic tongue out of your throat.

Oh, girl.

I only wanted the feathers.

You can have the rest.

You shouldn't have done that.

I'm sorry.

You are just jealous of my fabulosity.

Okay? You can't handle my...

What was that?

You're looking a little pink.

Shut up!

Stop!

Stop talking to me!

Can someone help her?

Yeah, someone should help her.

just found out he was going to do the
prank? I don't know.

Maybe that wasn't so bad.

I will destroy her!

Maybe it was.

Tell Bridget this isn't over!

How's Uli doing? I feel terrible.

I should go apologize.

Don't!

She did it to herself.

And it serves her right.

She's always bullying us.

Ella, yo, that was amazing.

You ladies bested Uliana.

I don't think anyone's ever done that
before.

And that makes you braver than I am. And
I'm a prince.

Though I don't really like to push the
royal angle.

Yet you always find a way.

You're the new girls, right?

I'm charming.

That's debatable.

And you guys picked the right time to
show up because it's Castle Coming week.

Castle Coming is an outdated, elitist
tradition.

Wait, so does that mean you're not...
Squeezing into a super expensive dress

painful shoes?

No, thanks.

Well, if you happen to change your mind,
I'll see you there.

Hey, Ella.

He seemed pretty interested in your
plans for the festival.

Was I sensing some chemistry?

Uh, no.

Okay, yeah, everyone loves him. And
sure, he's gorgeous and he seems nice.

But you know how royalty is.

Except for you, Bea.

You're different.

I just wish someone was that interested
in going with me. Everyone already has

plans.

Bridget, will you go to Castle coming
with me? But you just said... I despise

everything it stands for.

But if we go as friends, maybe it won't
be totally awful.

We have to try on dresses right now?

We only have two days. I can't. I have
to get back home, but maybe later.

Okay.

I better get home.

Two days until my mom gets cranked. It's
not enough time.

It's gonna have to be.

I just... I can't believe my mom was
so... sweet.

Tell me about it.

My mom's supposed to be the most
perfect, gracious queen ever.

Alice seems like she can't even stand
royalty.

Yeah. You know the craziest thing of it
all?

They were best friends.

Okay. Well, now the question is, how do
we stop Uliana before Casa comes?

First, we have to figure out what she's
planning.

Bugs in Bridget's dress or something
with snakes?

So many good options.

So let's find out more about Uliana. You
think my mom might know?

Maybe. Plus...

She's closest to Bridget, so she'll know
her weaknesses and exactly how to stab

her in the back.

You have some serious intimacy issues.

This is where Cinderella grew up? I hope
not.

Whoa, this place is not what I expected.

Um, what are you guys doing here? We
came to see you.

Who's there?

Just some girls from school.

We'll get back to work.

Or no supper.

Sorry. My stepmom is a total witch.

I get it.

My mom never let me have friends over.

Or have friends.

Really?

Okay, you guys can stay, but you have to
help me with my chores.

Oh, here you go. The floor needs
mopping.

And over there needs dusting.

You do all the housework?

Yeah, all on me. Oh.

Whoa!

Hey, I think it's time to lose the glass
shoes.

These are from my mom.

They were a reward.

A reward for what? For volunteering,
being good at school, and being a good

person.

Does it really count as being a good
person if you're getting a reward for

So, Ella.

That thing with Uliana at school.

Pretty wild, huh?

Seriously.

She's as bad as Ursula, Uliana's older
sister.

The worst bully this school has ever
seen.

I mean, one time she turned all the
freshmen into frogs.

Now, Uliana thinks she has to be even
meaner to try and live up to her

reputation. But why does Uliana have it
up for Bridget?

Bridget is so nice.

Exactly. Bullies love an easy target,
and Bridget's weak.

You think Bridget's weak?

Hey, look.

Uliana is mean to everyone.

Most people just stay out of her way.

But no matter how nasty Uliana gets...

Bridget keeps trying to be friends.

That's what Uliana can't stand.

Wait, so you're saying Bridget's strong
because she's nice?

Bridget is the strongest person I know.

She's kind.

Even when people are awful to her.

You know how hard that is?

Never thought about it.

Say we wanted to find Uliana.

Where do you think she'd be? Probably
the Black Lagoon.

That's where all the VKs hang out.

What was that?

Nothing, stepmother.

Quick, sweep it into the fireplace.
She'll never know.

It was an honest mistake.

It was my fault.

But I'm very sorry, and it won't ever
happen again.

You let this stranger into my house and
let her break my beautiful things?

Unacceptable. But I said I was sorry.
Well, sorry doesn't buy me a new vase.

Now does it?

And furthermore, you are grounded.

And tonight you can sleep in the barn.

Anastasia, Drizella, it's time for your
dress fitting.

Ella, I'm so sorry.

Sorry doesn't get me ungrounded, you
know?

Next time don't be such a princess.

But that was so unfair.

You know it's unfair.

My mom died when I was so little I
barely even remember.

My dad got remarried, and then he died
too.

And since then, this is the only family
I've known.

And no matter how good I am, they still
treat me like dirt.

Yeah, it's unfair.

Because life isn't fair.

Just leave.

You should give her a little time.

So this is the Black Lagoon.

The VKs.

I'm fierce.

I'm feared.

You know I'm the baddest here. Pull up
with my crew.

Boo hoo. You'll be wiping up more than a
puddle of tears. My competition call

the earth. But her curses ain't the
worst. I got potions, evil spells to

your life from bad to worse.

Then there's that desperate girl coming
for me. Trying to mess with my world.

Well, villainous is how I live. She
regret messing with the wrong sweet

Cause I got a life to my vengeance. I'm
savage.

I feel the bone and anyone crosses me
going to never bone.

They won't know what's coming when I hit
on with that.

They gonna start running when I hit on
with that.

Once I feel I conjure up a painful
perfect punishment. I don't get mad

Well, why didn't you make her walk the
planky? Darling, that's too easy.

Quick, her was a thousand times. And
what, she'd fall asleep?

We could burn her to cre -

I'm sickly sweet with a sigh.

to a month.

You're no good to me as fish food.

We can still stop them before Castle
comes in.

That means we got a book to find.

Where could that book be? Who could we
ask?

Not Ella. I still can't believe how
awful her family was to her.

I don't understand how someone could
grow up like that and then turn into my

mom. I mean...

How can one person change so much?

Tell me about it.

My mom changed her entire personality.

It's like everything she does now is to
make people afraid of her and to hide

the fact that she used to actually be
nice.

Well, whatever we do, we have to make
sure that she stays that way.

My mom's life depends on it.

Think about it. What if your mom had
grown up to be like Bridget?

You mean completely clueless?

Or kind, generous, and open -hearted?

She wouldn't have become a tyrant.

Yeah, I could eat what I want and sleep
what I want and wear what I want and

be what I want.

I'd be free of my mom and her rules and
her judgy face.

She might not be judgy at all.

She might be loving and kind.

It doesn't matter. It's not like I
actually care about that.

I think maybe you do.

Speaking of Bridget, what if the Watch
brought us back here because what you

really want is a mom who can love you
the way that you are?

A mom more like Bridget.

She'd probably still be making cupcakes.

That's it. We should ask Bridget about
the cookbook.

Mm -hmm.

Perfect.

Oh.

Hey, guys.

I'm just practicing my signature dance
for Castlecoming.

I call it the shuffle of love.

I keep

messing up that last bit.

But it's okay. I'll get there.

Let me clean this up real quick.

Wow, your room.

It's so wonderful.

Oh, yeah, thanks.

It reminds me of home.

Where I come from, there's a rule
against all of this.

Who's against fun?

Our queen.

A .K .A. my mom.

Oh.

She also hates my style, the way I
think, you know, everything about me.

I'm sorry, Red. I can't imagine having a
mom like that.

She's the only one I've ever known.

Well, if I was your mom, I'd love to
have a daughter who thinks for herself.

Is that the looking glass?

Oh, yeah.

You've heard of it?

Uh, I've read about it. It was a gift.

It's been in the Wonderland royal line
for ages.

What's it do?

It shows you the future.

Have you looked? No, no, no, no.

I love surprises.

I mean, why would I want to spoil the
future?

I'm sure it'll be wonderful.

Anyway. We were hoping you might be able
to help us find a cookbook.

Yeah, well, then you've got the right
girl. I mean, I have every cookbook

Even the sorcerer's cookbook?

Hmm. Let me look.

What are you doing?

Checking out things are going back home.

Let me go!

Oh, charming.

So nice to see you again.

Where is she?

Where's Cinderella?

Why?

Are you looking for these?

What have you done?

Not so funny now, am I?

Now?

Not good.

That's weird.

I thought I had them all. Well, except
the banned ones.

Where would we find the banned ones? We
don't.

They're dangerous.

That's why Principal Merlin locked them
up in his office and enchanted them so

no troublemakers can get their hands on
them.

And now that we know where the book
is... I think the solution is clear. For

sure. There's only one option.

Yeah.

It's time to tell Principal Merlin. We
need to come clean. He can help us.

No. Help us?

You think he's just going to hand over a
banned book because we asked him? Do

you have a better idea?

Yeah. We do it ourselves. We break in
and steal it.

That's what Uliana's going to do.

Unless we get there first. You want to
break in?

To the principal's office?

It's enchanted.

And Castlecoming is tomorrow.

We only have one shot to get this right.
And your idea is to steal? And your

plan is to go tell the teacher?

You're such a goody -goody. I'd rather
be a goody -goody than a bad person. You

sound like your mom. Thank you.

And how'd that work out for her?

Wow.

You know, you are evil.

Just like your mom.

Maybe.

But I'm gonna get us out of here.

Hey!

Can I talk to you about something?

Normally, I'd talk to my mom when I have
a problem, but she's far away right

now, so... Say you have a friend. Well,
not a friend, but someone you

know who's a bad person.

How do you know they're a bad person?
Because she says so herself.

Bad people don't think that they're bad.

Trust me.

I live with one.

What if she keeps pushing you to do
something bad, but she says it's for a

reason? Right and wrong, cool and kind,
who's to say? There's a code I believe

in. Every choice you're gonna find,
there's shades of gray.

There rules her reason.

Robin Hood, awesome guy, you'd agree.
But he stole from the poor.

So you could then cross that line
theoretically.

I don't know you anymore.

The decision's always...

recognized like value nice pure and good
guarantee that depends on what they're

fighting for creepy witches selling
potions for evil deeds she could have

she's providing for if your good good
things will come to you that broken vase

shows that's not true that's not fair
but that's how it's going you're a nice

girl but your princess is showing

This is Claire.

Notch?

What are you doing here?

Getting my hands dirty.

You're going to break into the
principal's office?

It's for a good cause.

And you're already justifying your
crimes.

Love it.

Morgan, you keep lookout, okay?

If you see Merlin coming, give a signal.

Oh, should I do a wolf howl or like a
dog howl?

I can do different dogs.

I'll check up there.

Wait, I think I see it. The big one with
the claws.

Got it.

Oh, boy.

Wow!

What a performance!

I'll be taking that!

Hey! Get your slimy suckers off that!

I don't think so.

It's over.

There's too many of them.

Finally. Let's see what kind of mischief
you've got for me.

New shoes?

My treat.

How did you know that was going to
happen?

Bridget said that Marlin enchanted the
cutbook so it doesn't fall into the

hands.

Oh, right.

You should probably open this then.

These are definitely the wrong hands.

No.

You do it.

I'm evil like my mom.

Remember? You're nothing like your mom,
Red.

You're your own person. You're a good
person.

Chloe, I lie, cheat, steal.

I'm a lost cause.

Oh, you also just stood up to a bully.

And you risked your own life to save
mine.

And right now you're saving Auradon.

I thought that being good was about
following the rules, but turns out it's

lot more complicated.

You do so much good, Red.

I'm sorry it took me so long to see it.

You got this.

Told you.

Wait,

how did you know?

Yeah, I was like 80%, Max.

I could have been perma -frozen, and you
were only 80%. That's true.

Oh.

I hope you enjoyed detention since
you've just signed up for years.

Did you see Uliana's face when she
opened up the book? She was like... I

wish I could see her while she's stuck
at home on the night of council coming.

bet she's like... Wait.

Are we sure that she won't be there?

Uh, yeah.

The VKs are going to be in detention
forever.

And even if they could go to
Castlecoming with no cookbook, there's

can do the prank.

We did it.

We can go back.

We can go home.

Yeah.

But what if we go back and my mom is
still my mom?

Even if she is, you're not going to end
up like this?

This is proof.

You saved my mom's life.

Here.

It belongs to you.

Ready?

Ready? What Monday?

That's Principal over to you.

And you better get it straight, or
you'll be walking the plank.

She's just kidding.

She's kidding.

Now, I never got the chance to go to
Auradon Prep.

But as its captain, I'm proud to be
charting a new course into a bright

Excuse me.

Do you mind?

I do, actually.

Mom, what are you doing?

We're playing my favorite game.

say is gonna top that so have a great
year y 'all we

saved our mom you changed history no we
did it

wonderful.

There she is.

Oh,

what a sweet, happy ending.

Everybody got what they wanted.

But getting what you want can be
dangerous, especially when you mess with

fabric of time.

You didn't think that was the end of the
story, did you?
