Mystic Meadows

"Mystic Meadows" is the thirty-sixth episode of the Disney Jr. animated series Sofia the First. It premiered on August 8, 2014, and is the eleventh episode of the second season.
==Plot==
Sofia and the Buttercups are preparing to visit Mystic Meadows, a rest home for retired sorcerers and where Cedric's mother and father reside, to earn their good deed badges with Baileywick as their troop leader since Ruby's Mother is sick. Sofia invites Cedric to visit his parents but he is not keen on coming since he'll have to see the Family Wand, a powerful wand that's been passed down for many generations in his family that his father won't hand down to him because he doesn't think he's a good enough sorcerer, only because he always interrupts him whenever he is casting a spell in a way that makes him mess it up. Sofia offers to help him get the Family Wand by helping him show his father how great he really is and Cedric accepts.
When Cedric and the Buttercups arrive at Mystic Meadows, they are greeted by Cedric's parents: Goodwyn the Great and Winifred the Wise. Winifred greets her son with affection but Goodwin greets him with criticism. Winifred tells the Buttercups about the Mystic Meadows Conjuring Contest she's hosting in the afternoon. While the rest of the troop spend time with the other retired enchanters, Sofia tries to help Cedric show Goodwyn how great he is. But, as Cedric predicted, every time Cedric tries to cast a spell, Goodwyn interrupts him, causing him to mess up the spell. In the end, Goodwyn refuses to give him the Family Wand, stating he isn't ready and unsure if he ever will be. Cedric protests that these mishaps happened because he interrupted him, but Goodwyn doesn't listen.
Sofia decides to have Cedric take part in the Conjuring Contest. At first, Cedric is against it because he knows his father is just going to interrupt him again, but Sofia tells him she has a plan. During the Contest, Sofia prevents Goodwyn from interrupting by complimenting his wand and with her help Cedric is doing much better. But then, disaster strikes: When Sofia tells them the answer to a riddle is snowman, Cedric and Goodwyn start to quarrel over who should conjure the answer and accidentally turn everyone into snowmen. Cedric tries to fix it but, once again, Goodwyn interrupts him and he accidentally conjures a sun. Sofia finally puts her foot down and tells Goodwyn straight up that the only reason Cedric was messing up is because he had been interrupting him all day and that he can help his son out best by backing off, giving him some space, and letting him do the spell himself. Goodwyn does as Sofia asks and Cedric fixes everything and they win the Conjuring Contest. Before everyone goes home, Goodwyn gives the Family Wand to his son and proclaims him Cedric the Sensational.
