Ben groggily woke up and saw his surroundings of the Lost Revenge. "Well," Ben thought. "I guess the chloroform finally wore off." He looked around and saw Uma's goons surrounding him. Harry was standing nearby and said, "Looks like Sleeping Beauty finally woke up. Are you comfortable?" Ben looked down and saw that he was tied to the mast of the ship. Ben shrugged and said, "Yep." Harry got puzzled at Ben's admission and said, "Never mind. Time to let Uma know that you're awake. She's dying to talk to you face to face." He walked away as Ben looked around. He saw that dawn had come and thought, "I hope Mal and the others will be here soon. Now, let's see if I can try to find this Sith object." He closed his eyes to focus his Force energy.

Back at Auradon Prep, Carlos and Jay had fallen asleep waiting for the 3D printer to finish printing out the fake wand. The printer beeped, waking Jay up. He jabbed Carlos, who mumbled, "Mmm. What?" Jay pointed to the fake wand and Carlos got up and took the fake wand out and said, "Not bad." "Let's go," both boys said as they went for the door. "Hey, guys," Dude said from Carlos' bed. "What about me?" Carlos turned to Dude and said, "No, Dude. You stay. Chewie will look after you. I'm serious. Stay." Dude whined as Carlos continued, "I love you, buddy. We'll be back before you know it."

The two boys left the room as Chewie looked over at Dude, who was whimpering. Chewie suddenly heard Agathe's voice in his head, "Let Dude go with them. He could play a part in rescuing Ben." Chewie looked at Dude and barked at Dude, startling the dog. Chewie started to push Dude off the bed with his nose. Dude guessed, "You want me to go with them?" Chewie barked once. "I'll take that as yes. Thank you, Chewie." Dude ran out of the room and secretly followed Carlos and Jay.

The two boys got back outside to the limo, but suddenly Doug appeared, causing Jay to hide the wand behind his back. "Hey, guys," Doug said. "Have you seen Evie?" Carlos then came up with a lie, "She went camping." Doug huffed, "Evie "I wanna live in a castle" sleeping on the ground with no place to plug in a hair dryer?" Carlos chuckled, "You know how spontaneous she is, bro. Right?" Jay chuckled with Carlos, "Totally, totally. Later Doug." Jay backed away from Doug with Carlos, and Doug walked back inside.

The two boys turned around and saw Lonnie standing there with swords on her back. "I'm coming with you guys," Lonnie said. Jay chuckled nervously and said, "What? We don't need swords at the….waffle hut." Carlos gave Jay a "Really" look as Lonnie said, "You're going to the Isle to rescue Ben. Look, it's either you take me, or I'm gonna have to tell Fairy Godmother. Ben is one of my best friends. I want to help get him back." Jay and Carlos looked at each other before reluctantly nodding yes. Lonnie squealed with glee and wrapped her arms around the two as they all walked to the limo, not noticing Dude jumping into the truck to hide.

Over on the Isle, Ben was still tied up on the mast of the Lost Revenge, sighing to himself as he felt that the Sith object was somewhere close to the Lost Revenge, but he couldn't pinpoint its location. Harry was trying to bother Ben with his hook and saying, "Coochy-coochy-coo. How's it feel to be the king now, eh?" Ben glared at Harry and said, "How would it feel if I punched that pretty nose of yours with my face?" Harry growled and was about to strike Ben, but Uma grabbed Harry's hook and said, "Give it a rest, Harry. Give it a rest. We don't want damaged goods." Harry growled and said, "You said that I could hook him." "I said at noon," Harry said. "I would like to see you try," Ben growled out. Harry chuckled as Uma hummed with interest. Harry pulled out his pocket watch and said, "Twenty more minutes." Ben looked at the watch and said, "That says 11:30." Uma sighed and said, "You better hope your girlfriend comes through." Ben turned to glare at Uma and said, "She will. I know it."

Uma smiled and said, "Leave us alone, Harry." Harry looked at Ben and said, "Nineteen minutes to go now." "Go," Uma said to Harry, who slowly walked away. Ben turned to Uma and said, "I get that you don't deserve this." Uma laughed and said, "This. This island is a prison thanks to your father. And don't pretend to look out for me because no one's looking out for me. It's just me." "So you think," Ben said. "I actually hate the fact that my father made this place and threw all the villains here. Making kids like you suffer for things that you had no part in. I've been trying to get kids off this island. Heck, I've sent better food and goods here once a month. But do you want to jeopardize that? With your own plan? As I sense that this isn't something your mom cooked up." Uma looked at Ben with shock. "This boy is full of surprises," Uma thought. She looked at Ben and said, "My mom doesn't care about me. Well, unless she needs someone for the night shift. The only thing she gave me was her necklace." "Ouch," Ben said. Uma glared at Ben and said, "I don't need your pity." Ben chuckled and said, "No you certainly don't. You're very resourceful. I suspect you were the one who made that chloroform that knocked me out. Impressive. And you seem to have full reign here. Since I don't see you tied up."

Uma stood up and said, "All right, so let's trash talk Mal. Your little sweetheart." Ben huffed and said, "I'd rather talk about you." "Mmm," Uma said. "Funny and a gentleman. I really hope I don't have to feed you to the fishes." "No you don't," Ben said. "Set me free and we'll go back together. Isn't that what you want?" Uma stopped as the voice from the amulet said, "I sense power from this King. He's trying to mentally persuade you." Uma chuckled and said, "Oh, so now I get an invite. Gee, I wonder why. When you brought Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay to Auradon, that's as mad as I've ever been in my life. And trust me, I've been plenty mad." Ben sensed that she was jealous and said, "I'm sorry you feel that way. I understand that I hurt the people here that I didn't pick. But my plan was to start with four kids and bring over more. Once the people in Auradon see that you guys need help and aren't like your parents, then I can bring over more. These things take time. I know you understand that. You're a leader, Uma. So am I. Come to Auradon and be part of the solution. Turn away from the evil that's here. It's not you." Uma chuckled and said, "Me? Part of your solution? Nah. I don't need you. I'm gonna get there on my own. Time to see what this puppy can do."

She pulled out her shell necklace and showed it to Ben. But Ben saw something glitter under her shirt now that the shell necklace was out of the way. It looked like an amulet, and Ben could sense something dark coming from it. "Could that be the Sith artifact?" Ben wondered in his head. He looked at Uma, who looked down and covered up the amulet with her shell and said, "Let's talk about you. You are very mysterious, King Ben. It seems that you have a connection to this mysterious guardian of the Isle. Who is he?" Ben held back a look of shock and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." Uma chuckled and said, "Oh, please. I know a lie when I see one. Maybe I can pull it out of you."

Suddenly Harry came over and said, "It's almost time, Uma." Uma groaned and said, "Saved by the bell. Let's see if this mysterious guardian will come save you along with Mal and her friends. Live bait sounds nice."

Carlos, Jay, and Lonnie drove the limo to the Isle and parked it in the old garage by the pier. The three got out and Jay told Lonnie, "I'll get the swords." Lonnie nodded as Mal and Evie were waiting for them near the entrance. They both woke up two hours before the others arrived. Evie tried to ask Mal what happened, but Mal wouldn't say anything. Evie was not happy about it, but Mal said that they had bigger problems to worry about. Lonnie ran over to Mal and Evie and said, "I made them bring me." "Oh, I'm so glad," Mal admitted as the two girls hugged. Lonnie hugged Evie next, who said, "Welcome to the Isle." "It's good to see the two of you," Lonnie said.

Carlos and Jay opened the truck and saw Dude laying in it. "And Dude," Jay said as Carlos scolded, "I told you to stay!" Dude hopped out and said, "I flunked obedience class. Plus, Chewie let me come. He wanted me to. I think. I still can't understand him." "Great," Jay said. "And he can still talk." Carlos sighed and said, "You're lucky I love you." Carlos and Jay grabbed the swords and walked over to the girls. Mal said, "Ooh. Here, let me see it." Carlos handed Mal the fake wand and Mal examined it, "Wow. What a beauty." "It's noon," Jay said. Mal handed the fake wand back to Carlos and asked, "Are we ready?" Everyone nodded as Mal said, "Leet's do this." Everyone walked to the tunnel. Carlos saw Dude trying to follow him and said, "Stay. I mean it." Dude whined as Carlos put the fake wand in his jacket and ran up to catch up with the others.

The five walked onto the pier and Gil spotted them from the Lost Revenge, "Hey guys! They're here!" Ben was tied up standing next to Harry and smiled thinking, "They came. Finally. I knew I could believe in them." Harry pushed Ben toward the plank and said, "Welcome." Uma stepped forward and said, "Finally." She giggled as Mal summoned all of her courage and put on an intimidating face as she didn't want Uma to get the better of her like yesterday. Then the two groups squared off through song,

(Uma)

Let's get this party started

I swear I'm cold hearted

There's no negotiation

I'm not here for debatin'

You need some motivation?

Just look at Ben's face

They ask yourself

How long you think I'll remain patient

I'll throw him overboard

And let him swim with killer sharks

You either hand over the wand

Or he'll be ripped apart

(Mal)

Now let's all just be smart

Although for you that must be hard

You'll get your wand

No one has to come to any harm

Don't try to intimidate

Your bark is much worse than your bite

Who's the baddest of them all?

I guess we're finding out tonight

(Uma and her crew)

Let's go, bring it on

Better give us what we want

It's the wand for the crown

If you don't, it's going down

(Core 4 and Lonnie)

Let's go, make your move

Peace or war, it's up to you

Give him up and do it now

If you don't, it's going down

(Uma and her crew)

We want the wand

Or else the King is gone

Your time is running out

You should really watch your mouth

(Core 4 and Lonnie)

Let's go, pound for pound

We're prepared to stand our ground

Put your swords up

Put 'em up, it's going down

(Uma and her crew)

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Make the trade!

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Or walk the plank!

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Make the trade!

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Or walk the plank

(Mal)

OK look, this is not a conversation

It's a do or die situation

If you don't give me back the King

I'll have no hesitation

I'll serve you right here

And I don't need a reservation

That way your whole "pirate crew"

Can have a demonstration

Release him now

And we can go our separate ways

Unless you want to deal with me

And the VKs

(Uma)

So that's your big speech, huh?

An empty ultimatum?

(Harry)

All it takes is one swing and I'll humiliate him!

Matter of fact, make one wrong move and I'll debilitate him!

And if he even starts to slip, I'll eliminate him!

All it takes is one wrong look and I'll…..

(Uma)

Harry. We get it. Chill.

(Uma and her crew)

Let's go, bring it on

Better give us what we want

It's the wand for the crown

If you don't, it's going down

(Core 4 and Lonnie)

Let's go, make your move

Peace or war, it's up to you

Give him up and do it now

If you don't, it's going down

(Uma and her crew)

We want the wand

Or else the King is gone

Your time is running out

You should really watch your mouth

(Core 4 and Lonnie)

Let's go, pound for pound

We're prepared to stand our ground

Put your swords up

Put 'em up, it's going down

(Ben)

Hey, we don't have to choose

We don't have to light the fuse

Mal, whatever you do

It's gonna be a lose-lose

There's got to be a better way

Uma, I promise I'll give you your chance

You'll have your say

(Uma)

Silly king, you give me?

You'll give me a chance?

Well, not a chance!

(Uma and her crew)

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Make the trade!

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Or walk the plank!

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Make the trade!

Yo-oh, ho-oh, oh-oh

Or walk the plank

During the song, Carlos had given Mal the fake wand. Mal stared at Ben, who stared right back at her. She heard his voice in her head saying, "Do it. I trust you." Mal was confused as to why Ben's voice was in her head, but she shook it off for now and walked forward to hand Uma the fake wand. But Uma said, "Hold up. Mmm. Too easy. Why don't you give it a test drive? We want to see it work." Uma was still upset that her psychic link to Mal thanks to the amulet was gone as she could have just used that to see if Mal was telling the truth about the wand or not. Mal scoffed, "You always were quite the dram queen." Carlos looked over and saw Dude walking up and Uma said, "Oh, and nothing too big, or else Ben is fish bait." The pirates laughed as Harry leaned Ben forward on the plank. Ben glared back at Harry before locking eyes with Mal. He saw Dude behind the group and pointed his eyes to it. Mal followed Ben's eyes and looked behind her to Carlos, who nodded his head to Dude. Mal got the idea and turned toward Dude and chanted, "Although it seems absurd, turn your bark into a word." Dude didn't say anything, but Mal glared at him and said, "Talk, dog." "Does this vest make me look fat?" Dude whispered. The pirates laughed as Uma smiled with glee. "Hey, does anyone have some bacon?" Dude asked. "Cookies?" Uma giggled then shouted, "Give me the wand!" "Give me Ben!" Mal retorted.

Uma sighed and said, "Harry, bring him over." Harry grabbed Ben and dragged him over to Uma, as Gil stopped them and said, "And, before you go, uh, tell your mama Gaston says hi. And also tell your dad that my dad wishes he finished off your dad when he had the chance." Ben glared at Gil as Harry pushed him towards Uma. Harry made Ben kneel as Mal looked down at him with loving eyes. "Aww," Uma said. "Cut him loose, Harry." Harry sighed, "I never get to have any fun." Harry cut him lose and Mal took Ben's hand at the same time that she handed Uma the fake wand. The pirates cheered as Mal pulled Ben towards their friends and said, "Let's go."

Uma and the pirates cheered as Uma chanted, "By the power of the sea, tear it down and set us free!" Nothing happened and Uma realized that she had been tricked. She broke the wand in two and shouted, "You do not get to win every time!" Jay ran over and pulled out the swords as Carlos pulled out one of the smoke bombs and used a sling shot to fire it at the pirates. Then the battle started.

Evie handed Ben a sword as pirates started to swing in and fight off the six. Evie fought off numerous pirates using her grace and dodged several attacks and threw the pirates into the sea. Carlos grabbed a sword and started fighting off pirates one by one, shoving them down to the ground. Lonnie showed off her great sword fighting skills and got through the pirates easily, even taunting one by giving him her sword before dodging his attacks and kicking him to the ground.

Jay squared off against Harry and both boys were evenly matched. Harry backed Jay to a corner and used both his hook and his sword to force Jay down. But Jay got some strength back and kicked Harry's legs out from under him and took his hook. He then threw the hook into the sea and Harry jumped in after it.

Ben got into his fighting stance and said, "Now it's time to show you all that you don't mess with me. Ever." Several pirates charged him, but Ben used his Force agility to jump into the air avoiding them. When he landed back on the ground, he secretly used the Force to push two pirates into the sea. He then expertly fought off two more pirates as his sword skills were vastly superior and knocked them to the ground in just a few sword swings. Suddenly Gil jumped in and swung his sword around. Ben just laughed and said, "Let's see what you got." Gil tried his best, but Ben easily outmatched him and got a hold of Gil's arm and twisted it around and shoved Gil into a wall, knocking the sword out of his hand. Ben leaned into Gil's ear and whispered, "Just like your brothers. Pathetic." He punched Gil in the face to knock him out. Carlos had ran over to help Ben, but was shocked at Ben's fighting skills. "Wow," Carlos thought. "He's really letting loose against this guys. He's more intense than when I had to fight him after joining Swords and Shields. I'm glad not to be Gil right now."

Mal and Uma had squared off and both girls were evenly matched. They parried their swords multiple times, and they couldn't land any hits. Mal looked over at one point and saw Ben being a beast of a sword fighter. "Wow," Mal thought. "Ben's really good." She got inspiration from Ben and used her sword to hold Uma's sword to the ground and kicked her away. Uma tried to strike back, and Ben saw this as he was running toward the exit, and secretly Force pushed Uma away from Mal, right to Harry, who was climbing out of the water. Uma looked around and said, "He'e here. The guardian. Where is he?" She looked over and saw Ben pulling Mal away and Uma said, "Mal's mine!" The two ran up and caught up with the pair. Harry yanked Ben away from Mal as Uma started to fight Mal again. Ben got angry and used a sword skill to knock Harry's sword away and Ben grabbed Harry by the throat and raised him above the ground using his Force strength. "Coochy-coochy-coo," Ben mocked then he tossed Harry to the ground. Evie threw another smoke bomb to Carlos, who threw it at the pirates and Mal and Ben ran towards the others. Jay and Lonnie ran into the tunnel to start the limo as Carlos and Evie followed behind. Ben and Mal ran over the bridge last as Mal pushed Ben into the tunnel. She turned back and kicked the bridge down so that it fell into the water and the pirates couldn't follow them. Mal stared down at Uma, who screamed in fury.

Jay and Lonnie got the limo started as Carlos and Evie ran out of the tunnel and threw their swords into the trunk. Jay and Lonnie got in the front while Carlos picked Dude up and he and Evie got into the back. Ben got out of the tunnel and saw that Mal was not following him. "Mal!" Ben shouted into the tunnel, causing an echo. He looked behind him and saw that the others weren't watching him, so he used his Solo voice to shout, "You need to leave. Now!" He used the Force to bring her to him, causing Mal to be shocked by the action and Uma and her crew heard the voice echoing. Uma grunted, "No! How? Out of my way!" She pushed past Harry and walked away. Ben caught Mal in his arms as Mal asked, "How…." "It was Solo," Ben lied. "He's helping us escape. We need to go." He and Mal ran to the limo, threw their swords into the trunk and shut it, then climbed into the limo, and Jay stepped on the gas pedal, driving away. No one noticed that Mal had dropped her spell book and now it was lying on the floor of the garage.

Mal and Ben sat on opposite sides of the back seat. Mal was trying to get her breathing under control as Ben looked over and said, "I'm really sorry that things didn't go the way you wanted them to. I know that you wanted some time to think about where you want to be. And…" "Ben," Mal stopped Ben. "It's OK. I'm just glad that you're safe." Ben smiled and said, "At least I got to see some of the Isle. They're my people, too. I know that I help them out from Auradon, but seeing everything up close and personal, it affected me. Seeing people like Uma and her crew." "Ben," Mal said. "Uma captured you." "I know," Ben said. "But like all the VKs on the Isle, she needs help. She's an angry girl who's all about revenge. On you. And that worries me." He sighed and reached over and pulled Mal into his arms saying, "I'm just glad that you're alright." Mal closed her eyes and melted into his arms. Dude stared at the couple and said, "Awkward." Carlos looked down at Dude and said, "Dude, I know you can talk, but it doesn't always mean you should." "You ruined their moment," Evie added. Ben and Mal pulled away, chuckling at Dude.

They reached the bridge and Jay hit the button on the remote to open the barrier and summon the bridge. The limo passed through the barrier and Mal felt her magic return to her. She noticed a gold flash in Ben's eyes as he took a deep breath and flexed his fingers. "Am I seeing something?" Mal wondered. She put that under the "Ask Ben later" tab in her mind. Jay looked over at Lonnie and said, "Why don't you stop by practice later?" Lonnie looked over at Jay and asked, "What, in the mood to break some rules?" Jay shrugged and said, "No." Lonnie was puzzled by his answer and looked back to the road.

Jay parked the limo back at Auradon Prep and everyone got out. Lonnie took the swords and said, "I'll get these back to the gym." Jay nodded his thanks as Lonnie ran off. Jane saw the group walking around and ran up to Ben with her tablet and whispered, "Ben. There you are. Cotillion's tonight. Come here. Look. This is the stained-glass window for Mal. Isn't it beautiful? She's gonna love it." Ben looked over at Mal and whispered, "Do you want to cancel? If you just want to rest and have more time to think this over, then I will respect your wishes. I don't want to pressure you into doing something you are not up for." "Um," Jane said. "You know what? I can come back. Uh, but like, really, really soon." Ben looked back at Jane and said, "Just wait here a minute." He pulled Mal to the side and whispered, "Do whatever you need to do. I don't care if we need to cancel Cotillion because you aren't up for it." Mal looked up at Ben and whispered, "I'll go. For you." Ben smiled and said, "I know that you haven't told me your answer about whether you want to stay here with me or go back to the Isle. Take the time before Cotillion to think it over. When we met up tonight, let me know your answer. I'll understand whatever choice you make. I care about you more than I care about myself. You are what matters. OK?" Mal nodded and Ben lifted her hand and kissed the back of it. He turned and walked away with Jane.

Evie walked over and pulled Mal with her and whispered, "We need to talk." Mal knew that Evie had questions about what happened on the Isle, especially since Evie wanted to know what happened when she fell unconscious. Carlos, while holding Dude, surprised them by stopping them in their tracks and saying, "No. You guys are always going off in a huddle, whispering your girl-talk stuff or whatever, and Jay and I are tired of it." "I'm not," Jay admitted. Carlos glared at Jay, then turned back to the girls and said, "We're your family, too. We've been through a lot. Together. I'm not stopping that now. OK?" Mal nodded, proud that Carlos is stepping up and commanding everyone.

"Everyone, sit," Carlos said as he sat down on the ground. He looked up at Jay and said, "Come on." Jay reluctantly sat down as Mal and Evie also sat down. Carlos stared at the group and said, "I don't know how to start girl talk." Jay just shrugged and said, "What up?" Evie chuckled as Mal sighed, realizing that although she had been truthful with Evie, she needed to be truthful with the boys. She looked up and said, "I'm a mess. I'm such a mess. I mean, six months ago, I was stealing candy from babies. Just trying to survive. And now, everybody wants me to be this Lady of the Court, and I have no idea how to keep up the act. I'm just a survivor. Ben's been so patient with me about our relationship and has been trying to keep pressure off of me, but it's not enough. I just don't know if I can pretend any longer." Carlos shrugged and said, "Then don't." "See?" Jay said trying to stand up. "This was dumb." Evie stopped him and said, "Maybe it wasn't. We're always gonna be the kids from the Isle. I tried to forget, I really tried, but those are our roots. And we all did what we had to do to survive, but it made us who we are. And we're never gonna be like anybody else here. And that's OK." "And we can't fake it," Carlos added. "Yeah," Mal said. "I mean, especially without my spell book." "Well," Carlos said. "If Ben doesn't love the real you, then he's not the one." "But he's not the problem," Mal said. "It's me. I'm thee one who has to decide if Ben is my future. We have this connection that I can't explain because I don't fully understand it. He admitted his love for me because he does. I just have to do the same if that is what I feel like my path is leading me to." "Then give him a chance," Carlos said. "If he cares about you that much, then he loves you for who you are, not who you are trying to be." Mal chuckled and said, "Ben said something similar to me on the Isle."

The group chuckled as Evie said, "I'm gonna make some changes to your dress, and if you're up for it, only if you're up for it, it'll be waiting for you." "I'll be there," Mal said. "I promised Ben that I would go and tell him my decision there." Evie smiled and whispered, "We also need to talk about other things later," as she and Carlos stood up, with Carlos muttering, "Come on, Dude," as he carried Dude with him and walked away with Evie. Jay stayed where he was as Mal didn't get up yet. He sighed and said, "If you decide to go back to the Isle, I'll drive you back tomorrow myself." Mal nodded her thanks and Jay got up and walked away. Mal sat there thinking, "I know Ben cares for me. And I know that I care for him. I felt something when he got captured. It was like my heart was hurting. Is that love? Do I truly love him?"

Carlos had put Dude on the ground and the two walked side by side. "Girl talk?" Dude said. "Crushed it." Carlos chuckled and said, "Yeah, except when it come to asking Jane out, then I'm a total chicken." Dude then stopped and sat as he said, "I'm gonna paraphrase one of the bravest boys I know. If she does not like you, then she is not the one for you." Carlos sighed and said, "You really are a man's best friend." He rubbed under Dude's chin, causing the dog to chuckle. Carlos stood up and said, "Come on, buddy, let's go."

Later at Swords and Shields practice, Jay was gathering the team, "All right, boys. Let's bring it in. All right. You all know I come from the Isle, right? Things there are pretty whack. But there is one thing the Isle's got on Auradon. If you're strong, we want you by our side, girl or boy." Chad had a feeling of where Jay was going with this and interrupted, "Hey. Jay, hold on here, we don't, uh, we don't break the rules here in Auradon. That's over on the Isle." Jay responded by pulling out the rule book and read, "The team shall be comprised of a captain and eight men. So, uh, give it up for your new team captain." Lonnie then ran into the room as Chad said, "Whoa, what?" Jay gave Lonnie the captain's whistle and Lonnie said, "Thank you." The team bowed to Lonnie, Chad more reluctant to do so. Lonnie blew the whistle and said, "Give me 10. Come on, guys." The boys got on the ground and started doing push-ups. "Pick it up, Chad," Lonnie taunted. She blew her whistle and said, "OK, practice is over. Get out of here. Go get ready for Cotillion." The team walked out, but Lonnie held Jay behind and said, "Wait until I tell my mom." Jay chuckled and said, "Let's get out of here. Oh, do you want to be my date for Cotillion?" Lonnie blushed and said, "Smooth, Jay. But yes. I'll go with you." Jay smiled and led Lonnie out of the room.

Doug walked to Evie's dorm room and knocked on the door. "Come in," Evie called. Doug burst into the room and said, "I have a scout badge and s'mores. How could you go camping without me?" "What?" Evie was confused as Carlos and Jay didn't tell her about the lie that they told Doug. "Are you seeing someone else?" Doug asked. "Are you? Is it Happy's son? 'Cause let me tell you, he is not as happy as his dad. Kind of a dark streak, in fact." Evie sighed and said, "Doug, Ben was captured on the Isle. We rescued Ben and saved Auradon." Doug stared and Evie and said, "So, you're not seeing Happy's son or anyone else." Evie took Doug's hands and said, "Don't be dopey." She leaned in and gave Doug a kiss on the cheek to confirm it. "Besides," Evie continued. "We have dresses to deliver. It is Cotillion, after all. And you know what? I was lucky enough to have been given a chance and now I need to give someone else a chance, too." Evie looked down at the hair pieces Dizzy gave her. Doug smiled and said, "My Uncle Bashful used to say that." "Did he?" Evie asked. "Yeah," Doug said as he and Evie took hold of the dress rack with the dresses they had to deliver. "But really quietly," Doug added. Evie chuckled and said, "Let's do this."

Carlos ran throughout Auradon Prep after practice, searching for Jane. He found her outside in one of the gardens and caught her while she was on the phone. "Jane!" Carlos ran up to her and stopped her. "Uh," Carlos said. "Would you go to Cotillion with me?" Jane nodded and said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. We're all taking a stretch carriage over at 6:00." Jane started to talk into the phone again as Carlos interrupted, "No, I mean with me." "Yeah," Jane said, still not understanding fully what Carlos was saying. "Want me to swing by your room?" Jane started talking on the phone again while Carlos sighed and said, "Uh, this is gonna be tricky. Jane?" He put his hand on Jane's and pushed the phone down. He stared right into her eyes and asked, "Would you be my date for Cotillion? And, if you don't absolutely hate me by the end of it, um, would you consider maybe being more than friends? Maybe?" Jane smiled and asked, "Like boyfriend and girlfriend? We can hold hands instead of slugging each other all the time? And we can text and I can tell you how great you are, because, Carlos, you're really, really great, and I'm the luckiest girl in the world. You're so nice and cute." "Me too!" Carlos agreed. "I'm the luckiest girl….I mean, guy. Luckiest guy." Jane suddenly hugged Carlos, who was startled at first, but then hugged her back, loving every moment of it. A woman's voice came out of Jane's phone asking if she was still there. Jane pulled away and said, "Oh. Sorry. I'll see you later." "Yeah," Carlos replied. "Totally." Jane smiled and walked away, talking to the woman on the phone. Carlos looked down and saw Dude sitting there, who looked up at him and said, "Good boy." Carlos chuckled and petted Dude on the head. "Come on, Dude. Let's go." He raised a fist in the air in triumph as he and Dude walked away.

Chad had snuck into Carlos and Jay's dorm room again and used the 3D printer to make a fake version of Ben's crown. He was wearing his royal suit and the cape Evie made him. He pulled the crown out of the printer and walked over to the mirror and put it on, admiring himself. "Oh, what's that?" Chad said to himself. "Why, no, Audrey. I haven't chosen my queen yet." Suddenly his cell phone rang and Chad walked over and asked, "Now, who could be calling me?" He saw that is was Audrey and screamed, "Audrey! Audrey!" He dropped the phone, then got on the ground to pick it up as Carlos walked into the room and saw what was happening. "Chad. This is my room, Chad. What…" Chad held a hand up to Carlos as he answered his phone, "Audrey? Yeah? Yeah? Well, yeah. That's wonderful news." He turned to Carlos and said, "She got a flat tire in Sherwood Forest and she wants me to go fix it." Carlos replied, "That's six hours away." "Really?" Chad asked. "Only six? I'm gonna be there faster than I thought." He kissed his phone and stood up to walk out of the room, but Carlos stopped him and said, "Uh-uh. My printer, my crown." "Oh," Chad said as Carlos took off the fake crown. "Yeah, about that. Right. I'm coming, Audrey." He charged out of the room as Carlos stood there and said, "Wow."

Ben was in the King's cabin on the Cotillion boat. He was getting ready for the big night. Chewie was with him lounging on a couch. Ben put the final touches on by putting on his crown. He looked at himself in the mirror. "Please," Ben whispered to himself. "Let this night go perfectly." He felt the Kyber crystal underneath his suit jacket and sighed. He looked down and saw his ring that Mal left behind sitting on the table. He picked it up and said, "I hope that I can give this back to her tonight."

"Poor King Ben." Ben turned around and saw Uma standing there in a dress and her braids up in a bun. Chewie jumped off the couch and charged at her, but Uma waved her hand and Chewie fell to the ground, asleep. Ben glared at Uma and said, "What did you do to him?" "Just knocked him out for a bit," Uma said. "Better than what I'm going to do to you." Uma's eyes flashed red and suddenly Ben held his head in pain and knelt to the ground, not able to fight back. "This isn't magic she's using," Ben thought. "She's using the Force. Wait. The amulet I saw." He looked up and saw the amulet peaking out from behind her shell necklace. "Where did you get that amulet?" Ben asked. Uma looked down and said, "This old thing? I found it six months ago. I thought it was just an old necklace that someone dumped. But oh the power it has." "You," Ben realized. "You were the one sending those nightmare to Mal. Making her go back to the Isle." Uma clapped her hands and said, "Very good. You're smarter than you look. But I'm curious. Mal was easy to break. But you. You're something else. I sense that you have powers similar to this. Why would that be?" Ben tried to stand, but Uma sent another wave of power towards Ben, who screamed in pain, but kept his kneeling stance. Uma chuckled and held up Mal's spell book and said, "I sense that a spell from this won't affect you. And magic from my necklace won't either. But if I channel my magic through this amulet, then maybe it will."

"You need to take that off," Ben said. "I recognize it. That is the Amulet of Anguish. Very dark. If you wear it for too long, your life will be forfeit. Or did the voice in it not tell you that?" "He lies," the voice from the amulet said, even though Ben was telling the truth. Uma glared at Ben and said, "Nice try. I will use its power to take over all of Auradon. And I will get Fairy Godmother's wand and destroy the barrier on the Isle of the Lost, releasing everyone. But there is something that puzzles me. You see, I thought the guardian of the Isle would show up to rescue you. But he didn't show. And I saw how you fought off my pirates. Impressive, Ben. Or should I say, guardian of the Isle?" Ben's eyes widened as Uma laughed and said, "It wasn't too hard to put the pieces together. Thanks to the amulet, I can sense when the guardian was on the Isle last night. And his power signature was very strongly tied to yours. And the skills you used against my pirates made me even more suspicious of you so I reached out with my amulet and you two are one and the same. But how you were in two places at once I don't understand. Since you were tied up on my ship and somehow you were running around the Isle at the same time. No matter, it looks like King Ben has some secrets of his own. Tell me, do Mal and her friends know the truth?" Ben just glared at Uma and said, "You won't get away with this." Uma just laughed, but Ben got angry and slipped into his Ben Solo voice, "You don't know who you're dealing with." Uma was a little startled by Ben's sudden deep voice, but she just smirked and said, "I don't care. All I care about is getting my revenge on Mal. Now, I could have just used my psychic link I made with her when she first came back to the Isle, but you broke that, didn't you? So I'm going with the next best thing. Breaking her by taking away the thing she cares about most. You. And you won't be able to stop me once you're in my control."

Uma's eyes glowed red as she channeled her magic through the amulet and started to sing a siren song. Ben tried to cover his ears but couldn't. He tried calling to the Force spirits in his head, but the amulet affected them too and they couldn't do anything. "Agathe!" Ben mentally called out, hoping to catch her attention. But the siren song was working as Ben's eyes started to turn red. "Mal…" Ben's last thought was before he became fully in Uma's control as his eyes became red before turning back to their natural color as Uma laughed evilly.

Duh, duh, DUH. Yep, a cliffhanger. Don't worry. You won't have to wait too long before seeing what happens next.

Also, I don't own "It's Going Down". It is a cool song from the movie, though. See you all next time.
