In the city, everyone was in town doing some last-minute Christmas shopping. Gertrude wanted to call the girls to see how they were doing.

Gertrude: (getting out her smartphone) I better see how everybody back at Our House is doing.

The phone range in the living room's mansion. boswell went over to it. When he realized it was Gertrude calling about how everyone in the mansion is doing, he
immediately put on his fake 'housing inspector' voice.

Boswell: (fake voice) Hello, Gertude.
Gertrude: Waco? But I'd thought you wouldn't come to Our House until tonight.
Boswell: (stammers) Well, yes, but I thought it would be best if I just check it out this morning.
Gertrude: Well, I called to see how Star and Janna are doing with Prisma and Wormwood.
Boswell: Oh, don't worry Gertrude. Everything is just fine. (hangs up the telephone with a sinister smile)

Gertrude didn't get a chance to ask 'Waco' if she could speak to anyone in the house, to make sure that they were okay. She got suscipious of Waco, and was very worried
about what could be going on.

Jackie: Great aunt Gertrude, are you alright?
Gertrude: Oh, yes, Jackie. But I just make a call back to Our House, and it turned out that Waco, and not someone residing in the mansion, answered the call.
Jackie: (now worried herself) Oh, boy, this is not good!

The Diaz family came over to see what was going on. After Jackie and Gertrude explained the situation to them, they also became nervous as well.

Rafael: The housing inspector never said he would arrive in the morning.
Marco: Could Janna be right after all about burglars breaking in?
Angie: (holding Marco Jr.) I think we all better get back to the mansion!

Everyone agreed, and then went to the limo to drive back to Our House. Meanwhile, Prisma, Wormwood, Star, and Janna, locked in the wine cellar, were thinking of a way to escape. Prisma suddenly thought of an idea...

Prisma: I've got it! (she moves a pile of boxes away from the wall to reveal a small dumbwaiter) This dumbwaiter leads upstairs to the kitchen!
Star: Uhhh, Prisma, we're not all going to fit in there.
Prisma: Maybe not all of us... (gestures to Janna and Wormwood) but these two sure can!
Janna: Wait, what do you mean?
Prisma: I mean, you and Wormwood can go up in the kitchen by dumbwaiter, and go to the telephone to call for help.
Wormwood: But how will you and Star get out?
Prisma: (stammers) Oooh, I didn't think of that.
Star: (realizes something) Wait just a second, Prisma! I just remembered! (gets out her princess wand) Marco found this and gave it to me before everyone left this morning. I can use a magic chant to unlock the door for us!
Prisma: Star Butterfly, that is a great idea! (turns to Janna and Wormwood) Get in the dumbwaiter, and I'll press the button to take you both up to the kitchen.

Janna and Wormwood got in the dumbwaiter, and Prisma pushed the button to take them up to the kitchen. Star went over by the locked door, and used her wand to open the door by saying a chant: 'I, the current princess, and future queen of Mewni, use the power of the wand to unlock this door!'

The door unlocked with the use of the wand, allowing Star and Prisma to escape the wine cellar.

Prisma: Great use of magic, Star!
Star: Now we have to stop those guys from taking everything in the house!

Meanwhile, Janna and Wormwood were entering the kitchen through the dumbwaiter.

Janna: Wormwood, me and Star set up a few traps in the house for the burglars because we knew they would come back here. What do you say we lead them to those traps so they could test them for us.

Wormwood, knowing how prepared the girls were for this happening, said, with a smile on his face: 'Janna, let's scare these guys out of here!'

The three bad guys had no idea, at this point, of what was going to happen to them right now...
