[Uncle Budrick] Previously on Max & The Midknights...

Boo!

-[thunderclap] -[kids] Ahh!

We were really spooked by your stowaway.

You've got that Ring of Return?

-Whoa! -[thud]

As we always say...

You'll be here when we get back.

[Max] This could be our chance to get the Shadow Man

and stop him.

Wait! Sir Gadabout?

So long as the Bodkin doesn't have

the missing piece,

no one is in mortal danger.

[all] He has the piece!

[Sir Gadabout] Yah! Yah!

[Millie] You know what, guys? Sure, things look hopeless.

The Bodkin got the last piece of the mirror

and he's probably coming for King Conrad.

I assume there's a "but" to that statement.

Nope. No but. This is really bad.

If anything happens to King Conrad,

I'll never forgive myself.

[Uncle Budrick] Just hang on. We're almost there.

King Conrad!

Are you okay?

Your Majesty!

Is the Bodkin here?

Creepy guy, hood, no nose?

'Bout yea tall?

Ugh, I-I can't reach.

But, yeah, he's really tall!

Everyone, everyone, relax.

All is well.

There's been no sign of the Bodkin,

or indeed anyone suspicious.

Phew! That's a relief.

[chuckles] Phew!

Told ya everything was gonna be fine!

That is not what you said.

But, King Conrad, you're in real danger.

It's not safe.

Max is right, Your Majesty.

We can confirm that the Bodkin escaped from his tomb.

[Max] And he has the final piece of the mirror.

Which means he could be here any moment.

Yes, and that's precisely why my guards are keeping watch.

If this "Bodkin" shows up, we'll be ready.

Speaking of guards, where is Sir Alva?

Oh, yes, Sir Alva.

She is... looking into something for me.

Anything I can help with, Your Majesty?

Yes, come to think of it.

Would you join me at the castle?

I'd like to update you on all the latest happenings

-in Byjovia. -Of course, Your Highness.

Uh, King Conrad! Do you want me to come too?

You must be tired from your journey.

As you can see, the kingdom is safe

and my guards are keeping a lookout,

so I encourage you all to go home and rest.

-But, Your Maj-- -There's nothing else

to be done now.

[reluctant sigh] Okay.

Good. Then off you go.

Yes, yes, everything is fine.

Did you think he was acting strangely before?

Strangely? In what way?

When he was talking about Sir Alva.

I don't know. Something just seemed off.

I just left King Conrad.

He was right as rain.

Maybe I'm just overreacting.

If you're worried, you should go talk to King Conrad yourself.

In fact, I'll accompany you to the castle right now.

It's my dad.

He's acting super weird.

I just watched him spend 20 minutes

trying to saddle a horse.

-What? -Yeah.

And Toby, the animals.

They're saying people haven't been acting like themselves

since we left for the tomb.

Yeah, I've kind of noticed that.

Something is very wrong, Max.

I know my dad, and that...

wasn't him.

"Wasn't him"?

Come now, Max!

King Conrad awaits!

One minute!

Sir Gadabout is acting weird too.

Yeah, he's kinda just standing there.

Which usually I wouldn't find weird,

but now I really find it weird.

I wonder if it has anything to do with--

Torin's Bodkin is in the throne room!

-And he has Mom! -Oh, no!

-[gasps] -What?!

Torin's Bodkin forced her

through the mirror.

She disappeared, but someone--

something came out.

Something that looks just like her!

No...

Wait, Kevyn, slow down. What happened?

It's worse than I feared.

The Bodkin completed the mirror!

And based on what I saw,

we aren't going to have to face one Bodkin.

We'll have to face many.

Ohh!

It all makes sense now.

Remember what was scrawled on the wall of Torin's tomb?

"A mighty army we shall be."

So Torin's Bodkin is building an army.

Yes! Using Byjovians!

But, Kevyn, how is he using Byjovians to create an army?

With the mirror!

People go in, but something else comes out.

Mom, she... [chokes up]

That must be what happened to King Conrad

and Sir Gadabout.

It explains why they were acting so strange.

And Dad.
