## Story

While some of the CPC is at the gala, the rest are stuck at the mansion. Renée sees Abbi standing at the kitchen counter, and feels bad for her, which she tells her using her notepad. Abbi tells her that she's taking advantage of having the house to themselves by making something Prez would never let them make. Renée offers to help, then gets creeped out when Abbi hands her a bag of raccoon teeth to open and asks what they're making. Abbi informs her she's redoing her favorite recipe, now that she has all the proper ingredients.

Meanwhile, the rest of the CPC is at the gala. Monika is still in crow form at the lobby, stuck inside the helmet of her Turtles of the Round Table knight costume, as she was too scared to go in. Someone recognizes her costume, thinking it's a life-size replica. They start to walk away, disappointed they didn't get to talk to whose it was, but Monika manages to transform back before they can. She sees the person is the Potato Princel, who remembers her from the furniture store. Monika nervously introduces herself, first as Monika, then in-character as Shellfire, "the turtle knight with a red-hot attitude and an even hotter flame punch". The Princel then introduces himself, first as Orson, then as Mertle, legendary wizard of the Round Table. The two start 'fighting', while Whitney walks into the lobby, still looking for Prez. Despite being confused, he is determined to find her when she confronts her parents, as he believes he is the only person who can right the wrongs he has caused to Prez and her family.

At the gala, Prez's family continues to yell about how they were worried sick for her. She tells them they're 'stealing the words right out of her mouth'; as she had acted like the perfect daughter to them for 21 years, yet the second she got a curse they kicked her out. Her mother tells her she regretted it the second she left. She had cried for months, befriended every spider she saw even though they scare her, and sent her dozens of letters, letters which Prez had never responded to. Confused, Prez says she's never gotten any letters in the club mailbox. A section showing mail carriers delivering letters to the club mailbox then begins: each of them open the mailbox to see Prez's spiders, who scare them into running away and destroying the mail, after which the spiders celebrate their accomplishments. The conversation continues with the Polygon Queen informing Prez that they were willing to give her space until she was ready to speak with them, but they couldn't wait to see her anymore. So, a few weeks ago, her father had made a trip out to see her. A flashback to the trip then begins: the Polygon King walked into the Haunted Forest, looking for his mansion, and saw someone else, that person being Gwendolyn. Assuming she knew Prez, he called out to her. However, Gwen's face horrified the King when he turned around, and he thought she was the long-rumored Possum Witch. When he decided to sneak past, Prez's spiders ambushed him. Prez realizes that her father was the person Gwen saw in the forest. She tries to explain to him that she didn't know any of what was going on, but accidentally reminds him about Curtis, who he seems enraged about.

In the servants' lounge, Curtis is chatting with Molly on household management. He inquires about intervening on their personal matters, specifically thinking about Whitney. Molly disagrees with this, though she admits that she occasionally 'tips a few scales at the last minute'. Curtis' response is interrupted by the Polygon King barging in and calling him over. When Whitney finally finds Prez, he does so as Curtis is apologizing to her father. He takes the heat for the CPC, as Prez notices, and the King reprimands him very strongly for it. Meanwhile, the rest of Prez's family is just trying to enjoy having her back. Prez asks them what was so urgent. Her mother informs her that, among several other things, they've finally found a way for her to return home for good as the kingdom's Crown Princess, shocking both her and Whitney, who's still watching from outside.
