Elena of Avalor S2 E23

## Plot

Elena is fencing with a guard, and wins when he's distracted by a noise, which turns out to be Luna's growling stomach. Migs and Skylar are also watching them. The guard leaves, and Chief Zephyr arrives. A baby jaquin named Rayo got scared in Vallestrella, and went through the gateway to Avalor. He's lost. Zephyr was hoping that Elena could help by using her Farsight power, but she tells him that the sunbirds are trying to fix her scepter. Zephyr has Migs, Skylar, and Luna join the search. Migs is frantic, since he's a father now. Luna says they need to find some anoki berries, since baby jaquins are always hungry. She finds Rayo, but he gets scared and flies away. She grabs a large anoki berry bush to catch him. King Verago shows up to make sure he's safe. He was scared by Dragallos. They never stop eating. They live in a magical place in Vallestrella where the jungle grows back overnight, so they can eat as much as they want. However, three children slipped through a tear in the magical barrier that keeps them there. Verago has ordered his kingsguard to capture them before they devour everything in Vallestrella, but they've been unsuccessful so far. Luna asks to be put on the kingsguard. It's been her dream since she was little, and she did find the jaquin cub. Verago agrees to put her on the kingsguard, but only if she helps them catch the Dragallos. Skylar and Elena tag along to see if the sunbirds have fixed the scepter yet. The tear has been fixed, so no more Dragallos will escape. Stilts eats trees, Big Mouth eats rocks, and Roley eats everything in sight. Verago has Luna work with Tornado, his most experienced guard. Tornado doesn't like having partners. She thinks Luna is too chatty, and Luna thinks she's too bossy. First, they get some snap traps to catch the Dragallos. Luna tries to catch Stilts, but winds up getting herself caught in her own trap. Tornado saves her from being eaten. She confronts another one, but winds up setting off Tornado's trap. Tornado catches Big Mouth. She and Luna tell Verago that they want to split up. He says no. Elena comes back. Luna wants to talk to her alone. Tornado is always telling her what to do. Elena says that doesn't sound so bad. Luna asks her to talk to Tornado the next day and get her to listen to Luna. However, when she spots the third Dragallo and tries to rush after it, Elena falls off her and lands on the ground… right next to the Dragallo. Luna tries to save her, but she gets stuck in some vines. Tornado saves Elena, cuts Luna free, and says the Dragallo is long gone by now. Luna finally admits that she blew it, and apologizes to both of them. She quits, and Verago tells her to return to Avalor and rejoin the guardians. Elena tells her that she has what it takes to be a guard, but when Tornado was trying to teach her, she wasn't really listening. Luna says if she can't get it right on her own, she shouldn't be there in the first place. She thinks Elena should know that more than anyone, since she always has all the answers. She tells Luna that she's messed up plenty of times, and she's got the grand council giving her advice. She doesn't always listen to them, and she usually regrets it. She tells Luna that if she stops and truly listens, she'll always wind up learning something. They see Tornado chasing the third Dragallo into a snap trap. However, there's a spider web up ahead. If Tornado doesn't look up, she'll fly right into it. Luna tries to warn her, but she gets stuck in it. Elena stays behind to free her, and she tells Luna how to catch the Dragallo. She has to plant the trap ahead of him, and chase him into it. Of all the Dragallos, he's the most unpredictable. She uses another anoki berry bush to catch him, but it's offscreen. The mother scolds her children, and after Verago assures her that this won't happen again, they head back to their jungle. Verago thanks Luna and Tornado, who are finally getting along. He makes Luna a guard, and Tornado agrees to keep being her partner. Elena tells Luna that she's proud of her, and wishes her luck. She thanks Elena. So, what happens now? I'm glad Luna finally got some development, but does this mean she won't appear on the show as often, due to being a guard in Vallestrella instead of a guardian of Avalor? If that is what it means, I'll miss her.
