Sofia the First S4 E18

## Plot

Sofia is helping Roland look for his white necktie. He wears it to all the big events in Dunwiddie. The grand opening of their museum is today. Sofia can't wait to see the Crowns of the Kingdoms exhibit. Cedric conjures Roland a new necktie, but he just wears his yellow one. He offers a spell to help him memorize the entire speech, but Roland says that won't be necessary. Cedric sadly leaves, and Sofia asks him if he's okay. Her father has wanted nothing to do with him since he tried to take over the kingdom in the season premiere. And it makes perfect sense that they're both not over it yet. Like Sofia herself once learned, as well as Elena and her friends, as well as some reformed antagonists, sometimes it's not enough to just say you're sorry. You have to do something that shows/proves that you've turned over a new leaf. Cedric and Roland used to be good friends when they were young. Whenever the pressure from their larger than life fathers was too much, they would go outside and play Dazzleball together. There's even a painting of a special move they came up with: The Royal Ricochet. Sofia decides to help him win Roland's trust back at the museum that day. Wormwood doesn't want to come, but Cedric needs him to impress the king with his knowledge of crowns. It turns out that Wormwood still wants to be evil. That both does and doesn't make sense. He's supposed to be smarter and more evil than Cedric, but he's waited over half the season to voice his objections, and he can be friendly sometimes. Cedric orders him to come, because he's still his master. Also, I love Sofia's new dress. Roland officially opens the museum. Prisma and Twitch are there. They're looking for another one of the Wicked Nine: Grimhilde's crown, a.k.a. the Evil Queen's crown. This is actually the first time her real name has been used. Meh, I prefer Regina. Wormwood overhears them. Good thing he was perching on a bird statue. Cedric accidentally embarrasses King Roland when he misspeaks about what a certain crown is made of. Prisma and Twitch see Sofia at the exhibit. They head outside before can she see them, and Wormwood follows them. They make a deal: If he can steal Grimhilde's crown for them, then Prisma can be his new master. Twitch is jealous, and decides to make sure Wormwood doesn't steal the crown. It's like what's happening with Roland not being able to trust Cedric. In both cases though, neither party has anything to worry about. Sofia and Cedric try to get Roland some pudding, but the vendor just ran out. Cedric conjures some for the king, who thanks him. A crowd gathers, and a man bumps into Sofia, who bumps into Cedric, who bumps into Roland, which causes him to spill the pudding all over himself. Sofia says it wasn't Cedric's fault. He tries to remove the stain, but it just removes most of Roland's clothes. He tries to conjure new clothes for him, but accidentally puts him in a jester's outfit. He insists that he's not trying to make a fool of him. Before he can try again, Roland takes his wand away, and heads to the coach, where he packed a change of clothes. Wormwood and Twitch spot the crown, but it's guarded. Wormwood distracts the guards by almost dropping a chandelier on them. He steals the crown and leaves, but he accidentally leaves one of his feathers behind. Twitch changes into a bird and flies after him. The guards inform Roland, Sofia, and Baileywick of the theft. They found a raven's feather. They see Wormwood flying off with a crown. Cedric says he wouldn't put Wormwood up to this. Roland doesn't believe him, and tells Sofia that people don't change so easily. Yeah, like Miss Nettle, or Princess Ivy, or Chrysta, or Amber, or Hildegard. Wait… Cedric offers to cast a spell on the feather to track Wormwood. Roland agrees, and the feather works like a compass. The guards head back to the castle for reinforcements, and it's too late to tell them. Roland, Cedric, and Sofia will have to catch Wormwood on their own. Sofia tells her dad that if Cedric helps get the crown back, it'll prove that he can trust him. If his suspicions are correct though, then Cedric will be sent to the dungeons. The crown is really heavy, and Wormwood is forced to stop for a break. Twitch offers to give the crown to Prisma, but Wormwood says he can do it himself. Sofia says that Cedric can show Roland that he's on his side. Cue the great song that really highlights Cedric's character development and how far he's come. Roland starts to trust him again when they see Wormwood. He's almost at the rendezvous point. Twitch tries to slow him down by launching a beehive at him, and the bees chase after him. He goes in a circle. Cedric decides to go ahead and see what's wrong. He crash lands right by Cedric, and tells him that he's leaving him. Evil scheming and power are far more important to Wormwood than friendship. Cedric gets the crown… and his poor choice of words make Roland, and even Sofia, think that he was guilty all along. That seems rather out of character for Sofia, but he's already betrayed her once, lied to her since they first met, tried to steal from her multiple times, and her mom did tell her that sometimes there is no best to see in people, and she has met people like that before. Wormwood takes the opportunity to get the crown back. Roland and Sofia start heading back to the castle to put Cedric in the dungeon. Wormwood delivers the crown to Prisma, and he's made part of the team. Vor tells Prisma that when the crown catches the light at just the right angle, it creates earth shattering lightning. Cedric hands over his wand to Roland. Sofia hears Twitch, Prisma, and Wormwood laughing, and sees them at the rendezvous point, which is an old cottage. I'm getting Elena of Avalor season 2 and RWBY flashbacks. Sofia sneaks off to confront the evil trio by herself. She tells Prisma that if she doesn't hand over the crown, she'll call the Protectors. Instead, Prisma uses it to attack her. Cedric and Roland find her, and they see Prisma with the crown. She attacks them, and they take cover. Roland tries to give Cedric his wand back, but the lightning causes a bunch of trees to collapse, so he uses the Royal Ricochet to get the wand to him. Prisma launches lightning at Sofia, and it causes the ground to open up. Cedric saves Sofia, but falls in himself. Prisma, Wormwood, and Twitch escape. Roland is relieved that Sofia is alright, and they see that Cedric is alive. Roland admits that he was wrong about Cedric, and trusts him again. They don't know who Prisma was, but at least they're all okay. Cedric uses a spell to return the impromptu battleground back to normal. He and Roland are friends again. Sofia sneaks away again, and tells Orion and Vega that Prisma has one of the Wicked Nine.
