Sofia the First S3 E27

## Plot

Sofia and Clover are playing a version of Simon Says. Sofia wishes she was a rabbit, and her amulet turns her into one. That's the power she got from freeing Elena. She wishes she was a person again, and changes back. Her amulet has been doing strange things ever since she freed Elena. She heads to Cedric to find out what's going on. He accidentally traps Wormwood in an enchanted painting, and Sofia says she once did the same thing. Technically, Hildegard did. The painting is of Cedric's old magic school, Hexley Hall. Sofia tells him the magic words to get someone out of a painting. She tells him that there used to be a princess trapped in her amulet, and after she freed her, it turned from purple to pink. Likely due to Elena taking some of its magic with her. After all, putting her in there turned the amulet from red to purple. Since then, it's been acting differently. Cedric is at a loss. His reaction is priceless though. The powers inside the amulet might've changed as well. Wormwood has been belittling Cedric and tells him to go to Hexley Hall to find out. However, Cedric just hears it as squawking. They head there right away, since it's a three day weekend, so no one else will be there. Cedric says that he's finally going to find out all of the amulet's secrets, and maybe even discover how to get it for himself. This seemingly contradicts his redemption at the beginning of the season, but like I said, we were all wrong and jumped to conclusions. I even thought that at the very least, Cedric would stop trying to take Sofia's amulet. I was wrong about that too. Hexley Hall looks stunning, like something out of a painting, or at least a beautiful piece of concept art. It's sort of like Hogwarts, but much smaller, and easier to get to. Sofia can understand Wormwood's complaints about Cedric, and she doesn't think they're very nice. They meet the headmaster of the school, Grimtrix the Good. Cedric claims that Sofia needs some books for a homework assignment for her alchemy class. Like Wormwood, I agree that that was a pathetic attempt at lying. And trust me, I know bad lying. Wormwood meets Grimtrix's familiar, a female weasel named Wriggley. She gets him to agree to meet up with her and some other familiars from their school days in the conjeteria. They can conjure anything they want there. Wormwood doesn't like having Cedric as a master, seeing him as a buffoon who embarrasses him. They find a book about the kingdom of Avalor. Sofia's amulet was made in the ancient civilization of Maru. Maruvian sorcerers made lots of jewelry with magical properties. With time and practice, those who wear them could unlock unbelievable power. Sofia says she never did anything to unlock her powers though. Elena just gave them to her when she felt she'd done a good enough deed. But now that she's no longer inside the amulet, Sofia is in control of the powers. She gave herself the power to turn into a rabbit. She wonders if she can turn into any animal she wants. She wants to be an elephant, or an ostrich, but nothing happens. She looks at Wormwood and says she wants to be a raven. This time it works, and she turns into a raven. She has to be looking at the actual animal she wants to transform into. Cedric wants everyone to keep quiet about the amulet's powers. Wormwood and Wriggley meet Chester the bulldog and Pumpkin the cat in the conjeteria. They all brag about how great their masters are, and how bad Wormwood's is. He tells them about the amulet. Now the others want to steal it for their own masters. He tells Sofia, and they all run from the animals. They hide in the potion room. Wormwood admits that he told the animals about the amulet. Sofia tells him that no one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. He's been complaining about Cedric all day long too. When someone is your friend, you accept them, flaws and all. Cedric spills a potion on him. It turns out to be a speaking potion, so now Cedric can understand him. Huh. That's a major change to the status quo. Cedric refuses help from Grimtrix, because he doesn't want another person to find out about the amulet. They decide to leave Hexley Hall. Wriggley takes the amulet though, and Sofia yells at Wormwood for telling them. He says it was just a mistake, but Cedric thinks he's part of a scheme with the animals to take the amulet for themselves, and feels betrayed. Wormwood has to fix this. They head to where the hole leads out, at the wanditorium. Wriggley is too fast for them to catch, and she takes Cedric's wand. Wormwood stops her, and they freeze her in place. Sofia gets the amulet back, and Cedric gets his wand. Sofia says she wouldn't have gotten it back if it wasn't for Wormwood. No one is perfect, even him, but Cedric gives him another chance. Grimtrix arrives and wonders what's going on. They tell him that his weasel stole the amulet. He reveals that he actually sent Wriggley to retrieve it. He's been spying on them through his crystal ball in his scepter, and knew about the amulet the whole time. He got tired of living under the rule of kings and queens, and has decided that he should be the one to rule. Yeah, he's evil. He magically pulls the amulet towards him. Sofia tries pulling against it, but the spell is too strong. Cedric tries to help, but the Shusher, which is basically a magical ghost librarian, or at least their hands and mouth, restrains him, and Wormwood can't free him. Grimtrix says that Cedric should understand, and asks him if he's tired of being a glorified jester for King Roland. Chester and Pumpkin show up, and Sofia wishes she was a bulldog. She pulls against the spell and breaks the crystal ball. Chester and Pumpkin go after her, but Cedric pours a floating potion on her and himself, and they float out a window. Wormwood tells them to never underestimate his master again. They leave Hexley Hall.
