==Synopsis==
Galavant and the team try to get along, while King Richard seeks the advice of the jester.
==Plot==
Galavant, Isabella, and Sid's compliments towards one another, quickly spirals into insults and put downs as they bicker and argue over petty things. This culminates in Galavant choosing the lead the group straight into bandit territory where they encounter a group of pirates lead by Peter Pillager who explains to the group that they were on the seas when their boat somehow ended up getting stuck up on shore. Now they are stuck and have resorted to being bandits who rob anyone who comes their way. The heroes quickly come to the realization that Peter and his pirates are not too bright, even though they have managed to get Isabella's jewel. 
Meanwhile, Richard has learned that Madalena is seeing the Jester on the side, but rather than killing him, decides to ask him for help in becoming funnier, as he reasons that that is why Madalena likes him so much. Out of fear and desperation, Jester walks Richard through quick lessons on comedy, which despite Richard's poor understanding of the art form, he ends up enjoying quite a bit to the point that he begins to consider Jester a friend and starts calling him by his real name: Steve McKenzie, something even Madalena didn't know. 
Richard sets up a comedy show for everyone, including the Valencians, where his jokes, understandably fall flat and humiliate Madalena. Richard manages to win the audience by using one of Chef's pies on Gareth, much to the latter's displeasure. Afterwards, Madalena attempts to get back with Steve, but he refuses, having grown a conscious and favoritism towards Richard. Madalena orders her guards to throw Steve into the dungeon, while Richard remains completely unaware of Madalena's actions. 
Peter takes Galavant to the side where he reveals that they had a prior encounter with one another. Galavant is shocked to learn that Peter, who was once a great pirate, had fallen to infighting with is crew. Peter offers Galavant to join him and let his friends live, or they all die. Galavant manages to escape, only to learn that Isabella and Sid manage to take out the pirates on their own. The three friends convince Peter to be more accepting towards his crew and they help them get their ship back to the water, in return they will be taken to Valencia. On the boat, Isabella tries to come clean to Galavant about Richard's plan, but he ignores her when they approach Valencia.
