Sofia the First S4 E17

## Plot

Clover wakes Sofia up, and gives her a propeller plum for breakfast. It's her birthday. Baileywick gives her a beautiful dress from Collette the royal dressmaker. However, the plum stains it. The animals try to scrub it out, but they accidentally rip it. Ruby and Jade came over early to help Sofia set up. They made party hats and balloons with her face painted on them. Vivian and Crackle also came over to help. However, Crackle hiccups fire, and accidentally pops all of the balloons. James gives Sofia a miniature flying coach. However, it doesn't come back, so he and Rex go after it. All of the guests come in. However, lots of havoc causes the party hats to be destroyed, the cake is ruined, and Rex broke the coach. Sofia and Roland try to dance, but there's cake everywhere. Ruby's fairy godmother, Tizzy, finally arrives. She lost track of time trying to think of a birthday gift. She decides to help Sofia. She wishes she could do her birthday over again, and this time have a happy one. Tizzy grants the wish. The rest of the episode is basically *Groundhog Day* and *Donald Duck Stuck On Christmas*. Sofia realizes that she's living the same day over again, but she can make it better. This time, her dress doesn't get stained or ripped. Tizzy comes in and explains that she granted her wish to do her birthday over again. However, Crackle still destroys the balloons, but Sofia is able to save the last one. She hides the coach under a tray so it doesn't fly off and ruin the cake. During the father daughter dance though, Roland accidentally rips the dress. James takes the carriage, and it flies off. Rex ruins it, the party hats, and the cake again. Crackle also destroys the last balloon again. Sofia tells Tizzy that she had another bad birthday. She's just glad it's over now, because she's getting a little tired of birthdays. When she wakes up though, it's still her birthday. She calls Tizzy. They both thought she would just get one do over, but Tizzy didn't read the spell book that closely. She'll keep reliving the day until she has a truly happy birthday. Sofia thinks she has to avoid every single problem if she wants to break the spell. However, there's a big difference between perfect and happy, just like how in Beauty and the Beast, Catherine needs to learn that she can have a happy life even if it isn't a simple one. Anyway, cue the montage. After 37 birthdays, Sofia finally has a perfect one. However, it's still her birthday the next morning, because she didn't have fun. She thinks about giving up, but Clover tells her to look on the bright side of things. Her dress is stained again, but she gets an idea, and tells Clover to get more plums. They use the juice to make polka dots. The party is ruined again, but Sofia says that no matter what happens, it'll be a great day, because she has all of her friends and family to celebrate with her. The next day, Clover tells her that she broke the spell. Sure enough, it's raining. They're stuck inside, but all they really need to have a good day is to look on the bright side. This episode was supposed to air before "Too Cute to Spook" because Sofia's birthday is in October, but it was delayed to January for some reason. Additionally, I think it takes place in between episodes 5 and 6 this season, because Sofia doesn't have her Enchantlet.
