Meanwhile, the Sea Witch allies herself with Captain Hook and Mr. Smee to distract Jake and his crew while she took care of the princess. After the climatic showdown, the Sea Witch, now powerless due to the destruction of her Shadow Wand, confesses the reason she wanted to turn the princess to gold is because she refused to be her friend when they were children, claiming the cruel pranks she played on the princess were jokes only to make her laugh.

==Trivia==
*The Pirate Princess appears to be slightly older than Jake and his crew, but her age was never confirmed. She could be chronologically much older than she appears to be and is biologically in her pre/early teens, possibly due to having been turned to gold for a certain amount of time (most likely for many years, as implied in her debut episode) and did not age during that time period.
